Valentine's Day

Posted: Apr 20, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Every year, 14 February is celebrated as Valentine's Day throughout the Western World.

Because of the globalization, this day is being celebrated nowadays in developing and less developed countries too.

Since Valentine's Day is primarily the lovers' day, youngsters from all over the world make it a point to celebrate it.

It's all about ‘love' which is considered as ‘blind.'

Blindly boys and girls, men and women in a society make the day a memorable one for them.

Media gives good advertisement to attract the young people to celebrate Valentine Day so that most of the costly gifts are sold in the market.

In fact, lovers exchange gifts on this day, go together to visit places, dine together in secluded restaurants and enjoy each other's company.

Gifts such as flowers, greeting cards, jewellery, diamonds, dresses, electronic gadgets are being sold at exorbitant price.

Still, they are sold like hot cake.

These gifts can be ordered from any part of the world and they will be delivered also to anyone who lives in any part of the world.

What we need is a credit or debit card account in the banks.

Among the flowers, cut roses – especially red ones are traditionally presented to lovers.

The color of the roses signifies the intention of the gift.

Red roses mean romantic love, so they're called ‘Valentine Roses.'

The ‘purple roses' signify that the giver has fallen in love with recipient at first sight.

Orange roses depict enthusiasm.

The meaning of ‘yellow roses' is joy and friendship.

Expression of gratitude and appreciation is exhibited by offering ‘pink roses' whicle feelings of admiration and sympathy goes with ‘light pink roses.'

The color of roses expresses the inner feeling of the donor or the receiver provided they know the significance of color.

The spread of Valentine day celebration in various cities of India has created a flutter among some groups of people who do not like to see the young couple walking in the park holding each other hand.

They wanted to ban the celebration of Valentine Day as it a part of Western Culture.

There were public resentment and debates on this particular issue in electronic media without arriving at a conclusion.

The group against Valentine's Day wants to arrange marriage between the male and female who go together in public on that day.

The young ladies are angry with this group.

They feel that they are free to do what they want in a democratic country like India.

The government provides protection to the young lovers on Valentine's day in certain cities to avoid unwanted incidents.

In a globalized world, it becomes very difficult for any government to put restrictions on its people.

The question of diffusion of Western Culture in Indian society is increasing day by day.

Although much is talked about Indian Culture, nothing could prevent the diffusion!

The young generation consisting of both genders exposed to the internet which provide every kind of knowledge they want, is bold enough to adopt what they think fashionable and enjoyable.

The elderly people had no chance when they were young.

They really feel today that the Indian culture is getting polluted with the Western Culture.

Moreover, they feel sorry for the state of affairs without knowing that the world is changing at a faster rate.

Valentine's Day is one such celebration which has easily penetrated into the Indian culture.

Views vary with people, but those who want to enjoy the day; they go for it without bothering about what others feel.

Lovers are those who like the good and bad of each other.

The liking comes out of some sort of attraction about which only the two of them know.

Therefore it is better not to interfere with their activity.

The best thing a 70 plus man like me can do is to wish all lovers a happy Valentine's Day.
