It was valentines day yesterday. Despite the hue and cry about blatant commercialisation, there's definitely something romantic about this festival of love. Or maybe it's the expectation created out of the hype about it? Maybe, maybe not.
What's wrong with celebrating love? And why does it have to be reiterated that "it can be love for anyone"? Why this need to justify it by saying that your parents and friends are your valentines too. I don't disagree that they are. I mean, love is love is love! But all this talk just makes me wonder, is romantic love not good enough to deserve a day of celebration? Of course you can celebrate your love/relationship every day. But do you? I sure don't.
And what's with the "protests" against it?! It is simply hilarious! Ye bhi koi oppose karne ki cheez hui! Like there's noting better to do!
Enjoy the red roses and balloon hearts! And don't intellectualise everything. In the words of a very wise woman I know..."Relax!!!" ;)
