This is just a random thought and it crossed my mind today because of all the hype surrounding it at this very day-VALENTINE DAY. You can say that i have never experienced love in a true sense...but that would be rather "Cryptic". True sense- what the hell it is supposed to mean? OK to clear the doubt...i have never experienced love, sensory or otherwise.
I love my parents, my family and friends but i guess that is not what this V-day is supposed to signify for us youngsters. We have all sort of labels to display our love for them e.g. Mother's day, Father's Day etc. What i don't understand is that the kind of market frenzy this day bring is beyond comparison from the rest of days. what is such big deal about this particular day that we, youngsters, go completely berserk on this day. We buy fancy gifts, send flowers, chocolates all sort of mindless marketing tools to show our feelings to each other.
Some people argue that a special day for love is in itself not such a bad idea because it gives you the occasion to do something really special for your loved ones which is not generally thought of in the usual circumstances. While on the other hand, some despise the whole point of labeling a day into something special for the sake of it. Their argument is that why people need a particular day to express their feelings toward somebody.

How would people like us know anything about love, Ashish Goel?!
ReplyDelete@Ketan: yeah true but here my point is the commercial aspect of a day associated with love and its relevance to us.
