Whats in a Valentines day?

well.. today is feb 14th.. so what??? just another day in the calender of 365/366 days!!!


There is Children's day where the kids enjoy because they can go to school in colorful dresses.. and they get chocolates!!! There is Independence day where we all cherish the hard earned freedom and think about all that went through once upon a time for India to be what it is today.. what is it about valentines day and why is it so special?? I am saying this not because i dont have someone to walk hand in hand and celebrate this day.. not because i dont appreciate the bond of love.. but because i never understood this very concept! As far as i am concerned, everyday in this life's dictionary bears a significance.. if that were the case, then it is needless to say that every moment of ur lover's company should give you pleasure.. every thought of having him/her in your thoughts should bring in a pleasant smile on ur face..


True that in some cases people wait for this day to express their love.. but again, it leaves me really surprised as to what the whole logic is.. if you love someone, why dont you just go ahead and tell them?? why do you want to wait for a day which comes only once a year to express it?? Such madness(i really dont know what to call) was largely predominant in my college days where there was a committe who took the great initiative of distributing roses on people's behalf to their beloved ones and thus aid in cropping up their love.. Hey.. dont get me wrong here.. i definitely dont belong to any ram sena or something.. i am just trying to be too practical!!


At the end of the day, we have people asking.. so, how was the day? something special??? huhh... and my answer remains.."It was just another day in the diary of 2009.. just another day in the dictionary of my life"!!
