I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY!

...Mother’s Day and all the freakin days which are thought up by smart companies to sell stuff to mushy public!

Considering I’ve always felt this way…I’ve finally got an excuse to pen my thoughts. The blog has it uses!

I always have hated Val’s day. Also bro’s day, sis’s day, mom’s day, dad’s day…what a load of bullshit!

You don’t need a special day to tell someone you love them. You can do it any old day, when ur love is feelin down, or when you look into his/her eyes and know your whole happiness is in their hands. My ex-bf was pretty understanding about my fetish actually, and he decided to humour my antics. So we got each other gifts arbidly, just to say I’m thinking of you, or when we knew one of us was feelin incredibly happy or whatever...which I found really sweet, though I’m not a mushy person by nature ( he was more thoughtful!).

I must be one of the few crazy oafs around to feel this way…but look around you. Zillions of other couples are going about doing the same things everyone else is doing! Buyin flowers, chocolates, dinner, dancing, cards…whatever is the latest way to say I love you on a pre-ordained day! Its so boring, so clichéd. It’s like sumthin that has to be done by every couple in love….its a given, sumthin taken for granted. Ditto for mom’s day, dad’s day an all d other days companies think up to market their goods. It’s sweeter to tell them when they need it, not when the whole wide world allots a day to say so.

No, I’m not siding with the Shiv Sena or whichever party is against celebrations. They are dumb anyway. But I’m just wondering…why do people think it so worthwhile to do something everyone else is doing, on the same day, every year? How do they still find it memorable?

A world full of clones…all of them preparing for an event that shouldn’t mean a dratted thing anyway!

Oh well. To each his own. Still, I’ve had my say.
