Valentine’s Day, 2011| Anything But LOVE

Valentine's Day 2011, Where's The LoveI don’t know when I first heard of the phrase Valentine’s Day. In 1996, growing up with my adolescence in my small hometown, I probably heard of it for the first time. Back then, I wouldn’t find many celebrate it in open. Maybe, only a very few would have exchanged cards or flowers, but I guess it was nearly non-existent then.

Since then, the Valentine’s Day has evolved quite dramatically amidst the revolt of moral police and social purists. Like many of them, I’m also a big of fan of the V-day. But, sadly, one couldn’t observe it unless one was in love or had a lover friend. Ok, now whether love is in the air on the 14th Feb or not, there isn’t enough love in this world for sure, on any given day.

If each Valentine’s Day were the milestone for measuring how much love we have left in us, we are increasingly becoming lovelorn by each passing year. And, heck! I am not talking only about the romantic relationships, most of which are fake anyway. I’m rather worried about the dwindling substance in platonic relationships and the increasingly give-and-take equation developing around us. Each Valentine’s Day is stark reminder of this!

I can’t breathe easy, spend sleepless hours worrying about what the fuck this world is coming to!
Friendship is going to dogs, relationships heading nowhere, the strength of your relationship is only as good as is your ability to share money with people. Your money creates fake smiles on their face, you’re bonding with people that wouldn’t give a flying fuck if you weren’t as rich.

No matter what you are inside, or how nicely you think of yourself and others, nobody cares. I can see through relationships, both romantic and platonic. My vision is blurred by the sheer senselessness of people, most of whom only understand things in pecuniary parlance.

This Valentine’s Day observance is not marred by the violent mob of social purists. It’s gradually getting contaminated by the senseless people who are ready to suck the blood out of you

    Its sad that some people say anything they please and expect the person in front to be understanding and accept them as they are. But when they are at the receiving end, all vows of undying friendship comes to an end and immediately they start shouting to the world about the sad state of friendship now. How can you call this friendship when you don”t have the guts to share a bad day with your friend? Can friendship be about expecting and not giving?

      Assuming that my point of views have been mistaken for personal expression, I’d like to clarify that the above article is nothing but an expression of general phenomenon that I’ve seen happen to people. I appreciate your perspective anyways.
