It's the time of year again when love is in the air -- or at least the pressure is on to show you really, really care on February 14..
How nice it is to fix ONE day in the year wen u can show your undying love for yr sweetheart! .... well, to be honest, its OK. It is just another reason for couples to spend some time with each other...
What amuses me is the commercialization of the whole thing. Taking out a calendar with the likes of 'jewellery day' n 'teddy day', on which u must gift jewellery n teddys...covert commercialization this is! Then, there are roses everywhere. But who bothers abt the way these roses are grown? Fact- roses in US are grown in a heavily chemical centric manner in Latin America. Lots happen over a cup of coffee. n who thinks abt the ppl behind that charming taste? Fact-ivory coast, where 40% of the world's cocoa is produced has a persistent child labor problem.
What i mean to say is, spending some time with yr loved one(s) is often more cherished, than if u take to the stereo-type gifts n bouquets of roses! We cud try something new this valentine's...like gng to the church, talking to the Father n knowing what valentine's day is all abt, historically. Or go to places like the Spastic's Society n just spending yr day there with those love hungry kids. Beleive me, it feels gr8 to be with yr love, among those kids who lap up as much love as u shower on them!
Well, i wish u all a wonderful valentine's day. I'll be spending mine with all my frnds. N i'll be gng to the church as well n wish that God showers love on u all....
Make a pleasant day...
God bless...:)
