Valentine’s
day. Who hasn’t seen the hype for Valentine’s Day in the last few days? It’s
been all over Facebook and to think of it, the haunting does not stop only on
facebook, it’s everywhere! Valentine’s Day is just another way of couples
rubbing it to their ex- boyfriend/ girlfriend that their much more happier,
just another way of telling the world about how happy this girl/boy makes you
and definitely just another way of telling the other girlfriend or boyfriend
that she or he has behind his or her back that its war time! (No jokes on the
last one).
I’ve heard
of friendship day and St. Patrick’s day, but WHAT IS CHOCOLATE DAY, HUG DAY,
TEDDY BEAR DAY AND ALL THE OTHER WEIRD DAYS A WEEK BEFORE VALENTINE’S? But just
to warn you it doesn’t end there. Here’s how it goes, I go on Facebook to see
what’s going on with people around me, checking a few inboxes, a few photos,
liking a few statuses, but oh wait, I only see statuses about ‘WHICH CHOCOLATE
I AM TO YOU?’ OR ‘WHICH ROSE AM I TO YOU?’ How much ever I want to deny it,
this is the reason why so many of us out there are losing faith in humanity.
The
most funniest part is the way people get asked out for Valentine's. The
classic is the inbox me trick. Oh you know, the one that goes like,
'Inbox me if you love me and it stays between us' (Slow accomplishment
for the new height of desperate) and then there's the 'status way of
doing it'. It goes something like this, tell me what you feel about me
or which color am I to you and then the colors go like blue= I have a
crush on you and boom next minute, so and so is in a relationship. (Knew
that was coming bro.)
I see people
around me who are in complete “depression” over the fact that they don’t have a
valentine on Valentine’s Day. So? Thousand people are out there who don’t have
a mother on Mother’s Day or a father on Father’s Day, I don’t hear them
cribbing. And you’re sitting there cribbing because you don’t have a valentine?
Pity you.
But all of
this apart, Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovely people out there. Thanks
for always reading my rants about the most weirdest things ever and do comment!
Well said :)
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, If you need reason to celebrate your love for your loved ones, or a day to dedicate to your Mum, you need help. Its all a Marketing gimmick.
Thanks Ashwin! :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a marketing trick Tejas! A way for people to spend money. If you really love someone, then why can't everyday be Valentine's? Why does one need a particular day to express love!
Absoltely spot on. People need to rise. People need to open their eyes. Good people need to realize, the wongs their doing in their lives.
