It’s always been a clash between me and her that why people celebrate Valentines Day? She told me that, for every couple, if they had enough time and a wallet full of money, every day can be Valentines Day. I didn’t argue this time. A person who is willing to understand or better to say ready to understand, things can be discussed with him/her. But here I know whatever I’ll tell; she will stick to her decision. So I remain silent.
Why we celebrate Durga Puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dewali, Eid etc on some particular days? We all pray to god through out the year. What is the significance then to celebrate mother’s day, Children’s day, women’s day etc? There are no controversies regarding these days. Only in case of Valentine’s Day there are lots of issues some people create. Media runs from parks to malls to shoot couples, some political party come on the road to protest and say this is against our culture and all. Why are they worried off if some people think in a special way? If couples celebrate this day spending time with each other or buying gifts for each other, what the harm in that? From our daily life we choose some days to give special attention to everyone. A day for mother, a day for father, a day for child, a day for women and similarly like a day for your beloved one. After marriage we celebrate anniversary, even some date freaks celebrate their first meeting anniversary, first propose anniversary, first kiss anniversary etc. There are so many people who hardly meet and their love is alive over phone or chat. They choose this day to meet with each other, to spend some quality time and to get some good memories. Why do some people like to poke in between them?
Any way, my 14th was good. I didn’t enjoy ‘Valentines Day’ but still the date become special for me. Some long chats with my beloved one, a ride on bike, a feeling of cool air, smoke of an ice-cream made my evening far better than what I expected. I spent Valentine’s Day in my way. And yes, I was NOT with my Valentine.
