valentine's day...

hehe...the seasonal bug has caught onto me..dont worry iam not gonna get mushy and harp on love, its beauty and its so called umpteen avatars.....what is that rankles me is that what a spectacle have they made out of this love and lovers day....

just look at love as being professed by people and in the movies, stories and other stuff..... going after gals with whom they would have never talked, whom they would not even know whether they will prefer coffee or tea. standing in the bus stops, bunking colleges and neglecting useful work.

people who would have never talked to girl, falling in love with 'love' with the first girl who would talk to them. .... people who do not have planned for their future...planning for a life partner.........well the other side of the spectrum is no good. .....people fall in love after looking at bank balances, future prospects, expensive gifts...wht r they in love with after all....

look at people who say they are in love, what is their love ....going to movies, discos, hanging out in restaurants.....is this love...

there is a huge juggernaut of marketeers waiting to take advantage of this bunch of lovers......just look at the shops springing up selling cards........ websites having love letters....well here we have templates ready..for people to get into love...was not love supposed to a personal relationship between 2 persons...........

people who cant even declare their love fearlessly, who cant talk to their own parents that they are in love with someone, who would not think twice before leaving their homes, parents just because they are afraid of facing them and tellin g about their love...........dont deserve to be in love.

and we have a bunch of moral policemen ready to spoil valentine day parties, break into card shops and to advocate values to the new generation as if they themselves are moulded out of perfection....persons who would not give respect to ladies in their houses giving moral classes to people on the street is not a digestable concept.............

wherever you see, this love is being sold to us...love in the movies..love in the songs.....love in serials, ...love in the books...love in the advertisements....wherever u look it is being sold as a compulsory accessory u need to have in life.....

well iam not against love ..but it should happen to a person on account of his own feelings, on account of genuine liking of another human being...but look at what is happening...it is being potrayed as something that happens to everyone..in particular times...it is as if everyone ought to do it..or u have some short coming if u are not onto it......

and result is ...we have youngs boys in school starting to look for out for a beautiful gal and declare that they are in love and go after that gal troubling her....sometimes with disastrous consequences...girls are also not immune to this stuff... a whole generation of gals bought up on mills and boons romanctic curry type of love...swoon on muscular looking guys and handsome looking hunks...and keep blushing and taking on their advances in the ages in which they dont even know responsibility of their actions..............

come a little farther we have guys and gals who are committing suicides just because some one did not love them..if they did not whats the big deal....everyone does not love us.... not even like us.......do we care.............then why does this happen...

we have people who think falling in love is meeting daily at bus stops,libraries, or whatever place they could find..a movie every week, goin to beach ....hanging out in discos......giving expensive gifts on every possible occassion........as if people who could not afford these things are incapable of falling in love.....

fine... i have ranted and raved too long ..do u wanna know what my idea of love is...how do you care...it should be between me and person whom iam in love with...why does the world care what i think?????????????
