Jotting down the mysterious points our professor was dictating, I was taken aback when a classmate of mine turns back and asks me with a crooked smile, about my plans on this Valentines Day! I momentarily paused, weighed carefully the situation if i should reply sarcastically or not and finally resorted to an awkward chortle, all the while thinking of the dictation of notes. He gave a quizzical smile, unsatisfied with the amount of information i let pass and returned to copying the boring notes of the departmental subject.
Only 2 days to go for the so-called V-Day or Valentines' Day; for which different sects of people hold different opinions, ranging from marrying off the love birds when sighted to proposing that pretty girl the guy always wanted to, with a red rose! Facebook's app "Who will be your Valentine 2015" is getting many clicks owing to the weekend date and my mailbox seems to be filled with the promotional ads regarding "Easy Valentines' Day gifts for Girlfriend/Boyfriend". Clearly, Love Is In The Air!
Well, in another way, this Saturday, the poor old man who sells balloons near schools and colleges will sleep peacefully after his days' earnings; for the prissy girlfriends and the lovable cum caring boyfriends would find the heart-shaped red balloons "cute" and ''apt'' for the occasion. The red roses will have pricked more hands than ever this week and probably would have broken more hearts than ever when the College Sweetheart accepts the proposal of that dashing guy. And not to forget the specially made heart shaped cakes with red and pink cream used to celebrate or mark the love birds' anniversary!
Sitting back in my chair and treating myself with a hot cup of coffee, i reflect on the so-called 'plans' for this Saturday and take to quizzing my friends in proximity.
One of my girl friends said she made a greeting card and is organizing a surprise party for her boyfriend at a restaurant. Lucky him...! And a guy friend who is single says he is looking forward for the much-awaited World Cup Cricket match with his other Cricket fan-friends. Now, that's a perfect bro-date!
I then asked a rather cynical guy who recently got his heart broken about his plans, carefully shielding myself with a plate, anticipating he might throw an object on the absurdity of the question in his context. Thanks to his calmness, he replied " I'm gonna drink so badly that i will forget that 'she' ever existed." Well, I guess creatures with broken hearts are the wildest!
While I come across people who actually had 'plans' for V-day, there are other set of 'practical people'; who don't give two pence if its a V-day or not. For them, its just another feat by the corporate world to cash in the emotions of masses. That's a very practical way of stating the much hyped day.
Valentines' Day or not; I say one should make sure that their significant other feels special in one's company. And by the dear Singles' of the whole wide world...YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
Oh, by the way, I really am not the kind of person who 'plans' for a day!
Adios.
