O.K, It's Valentines' day. So?

No I do not have anything against the spirit of the DAY, one day (week would be better), where we set aside the time for our (that) ONE person, and neither do I oppose anything that's remotely fun. At this mechanical age, of course we need to tune ourselves to remind us that there is more to life. And life's joy is better when shared especially with .. well THE ONE.

No I do not have any dark memories, any poignant tales, or a scar that opens up every valentines'. In fact, few of them have been exceptionally memorable, an odyssey if you will. But, as I try to look back to the years, I remember Valentine's was hardly a "circus" that it is now. It was truly a 'thing' between two people. It's another thing that if I go further back, we had not even heard of anything called Valentines' day :).

We hear so much about Valentines' day. 'Any plans?' "What are you getting for HER/Him?" And the next day, "so how was it?" We went to this place and it was blah blah blah...give me a break. I overheard one of my very beautiful female colleague ;), asking another (guy), "aren't you off today? He went, "Why? Why should I be?..What?" :). Then there were (quite) gushing between two colleagues. Apparently one had got something related to the family of diamond or its siblings. And yes, they were FEMALE(s). And no, they were not loud. (As if). Those awwwwwwwwww's and o0o0o0oo's. Darn. I gave them the most radiant smile I had :).

As I rushed to work this morning, worried, frustrated for being late (I left her a message) for the 'touch base' meeting with my boss, guess what did I learn after coming to work. SHE is not feeling well :), & most probably she would be off today. Hehehe. A valentine fever perhaps. And there I was, worried that I am late for our so (un)important meeting.

Valentines' day is nothing more than a commercialization & is one of the foster children of the capitalist world. It is overstated, over blown and nothing more than mere hype by the commercial industry, to extract every last penny they can, from our hard earned money. And we are like that fish in the abyss, where we can only escape for so long & we all shall be 'caught', eventually. After all, the spaces are scarce, if at all.

Would someone please tell me if this day actually help sustain the life of a relationship, or does it in any way makes (already) beautiful relationship more bewitching, or for that matter, mend the relationships already on the rocks? No, really?

Isn't today's relationships more like, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" kind? The hype for this DAY is anything but, grotesque at best.

Like one Spanish philosopher said, "We fall in love when our imagination projects nonexistent perfection upon another person. One day, the fantasy evaporates and with it, love dies." Or does it? I leave that for you to decide. But it makes one think for a while. Doesn't it?

Frankly, I do not see any reason for this day to be hyped about. It's nothing more than propaganda. Sooner we realize that, better it is. Needless to say that if there are any winners, or for that matter anyone who actually benefits from this great day, are those who has commercial interest in it. But then again, who doesn't? After all there are 'sales' almost everywhere. ;). There in lies an irony:).

And with it Valentines' day is here to stay.

Happy Valentines' Day. :)

P.S: It doesn't reflect the view of the writer :), and neither does it imply that writer resents the 'subject'. It was mere avalanche of random thoughts in oblivion.

P.S: Apologies for redundancy. Just for the spirit of the day.

I LOVE chatpates. But where is the thela? I even went out and check if there is any mela. But no mela and hence no thela :(.

If you could courier it, re kya ;).

IndisGuise:)

wtfffffffffffffff... I was shocked to see that I commented on this thread and admired Indi.... oh wow... it must have been after really a long time... Damn... I was shell-shocked to read what I wrote!

Anyhow, to add to that... I do agree with Indi... I never credited him with an ounce of grey matter... but reading this makes me wonder... just a lil bit :P

Nirman bro, yeso maya namarau na yaar hamlai. Mero dosti kata gayep ho ajkal!!!

K ko bhantang bhuntung ni yaar, negotiation is on going. Ajkal ko kti haru, k bhanne aba, ada dozen matra deu bhanda ni gali garne yaar. Kasto jamana ayo :p

Hope you have everything going for you mate!

IndisGuise:)

Whateva... you see, there was a time :p

*sigh* alas, all good thing had to come to an end! :(

Nevertheless, thanks. :)

Phew.... I almost missed this thread..read it...liked it!! I couldn't agree less to what you have to say... overhyped, commercialized and all tht... but when a red rose was lying on my car seat this morning, AWWWWWWWWWWWWW :) was all I had to say!!

Now who would do that ghustakhi to dreamz? :O. My brother highfly would be bitterly disappointed. What with our "Highfly dreams of dreamz05 in disguise LLC"? It must be white rose eh'! Hmmm . . . Pheww. . . common now. Those small gesture hardly counts. I tried small gestures akin to those and all I got was cold shoulder. So much for letting your heart bare. There were no awwwws and o0o0o0oos. :(

Ahem!;)

I think tonight I should celebrate valentines' day for a change. It is weird how every celebration of mine ends up with a bottle and then some more. LOL. Is there any other way anyways? :)

IndisGuise:)

hehe hasayo Indu le... yes there is otehr way, try in a bowl... :D

Indi valentine lai bhetna napayera murmurya ho? don't worry, mero ta jhan valentine day kai din break up hola jasto cha :P

Lady, you mean drink it from bowl? Or bong? You know those beer bongs? So you are suggesting that there is nothing wrong to drink and drink and drink? I knew I could count on you. after all you are my dear pal. You go like, "NO, there not only one way to die; TRY THIS!" ---- wah meri dost wah!!! :p

:(

DcG k ko bhetna napayera, maya gareko dekhauda pani matlab nagarera ni :(

Valentine day ko din break up bhanera kasto danga pareko timi. hehe...Are there any association where frustrated valentines' day lovers could actually hook up and drink themselves silly? :p

Tum muje sunawo mein tuje sunawu apni prem kahani ;)

Are you wearing that lovely black dress dreamz05? I have glasses, but if you could bring some munchies just for the heck of it; that would be awesome.

So is this official? Are we to start an association where frustrated valentines' day lovers could actually hook up and drink themselves silly? Dreamz05... :( thanks for the company. Should I be all derssed up, or just chill? ;)

At what point of this day you became frustrated?:D
