why do i revolt against valentine's days?
one thing’s sure, its not because i care less for love. being loved is the single most beautiful feeling there is. and if you ask me, there aint nothing more instinctive as it.
do we really need a cue to celebrate it? or more specifically, do we need a day to celebrate it? a day for love? isn’t love something to be celebrated with every breath? something that keeps us alive, something that makes us smile, something to live for? what makes us love someone more on valentines day? does the notion make sense at all?
the hype and sugar around this day is nauseating. i could die of diabetes if i went thru another valentines day. y such gripe? maybe coz i cant stand the thought of love getting trivialized. and commoditized. come valentines day and you suddenly rush to find ways to “love”? wtf?
how are we affected by valentines day? or should the question be rephrased to how are we affected by someones reactions to valentines day? do we feel compelled to act the way they do? what does it give? how do i get convinced that i need to do something extra on valentines day? how long will the val day hang-over last? cant any other day bring happiness, a smile? deep down, aint it an act of desperation, one of escapism?

You commented on my blog, so I just wanted to see the man behind the comment. Well, I didn't actually wanted to "see" you. Just wanted to see what you write about it.
I just wanted to comment on your comment to Sonia. Your mind isn't playing games with you. Don't worry about that, just cherish the fact that you think, therefore you are. (Am I good or what?)
hi dude. just dropped by to say take care. uber.
Very true, The hype and the red splashed everywhere is quite sickening. It could be a beautiful day but for the crass commercialisation.
Just took the words out of my mouth! But when everyone's getting flowers and candies and teddy bears around me, I miss not celebrating Valentine's Day.. but those are weak moments and have nothing to do with love.. only candy.
