Valentine's day....

Well its that time of the year when there will be love life on display, confusions, heartbreaks, matings, complications, disasters, anger and romance.

There will be proposals, rejections and acceptance. Couples will check their bank balances and pocket money for buying gifts and hoping to receive one.

One of the busiest seasons for Shiv sena. Lovers must thank Sharukh Khan and Rahul Gandhi for distracting the Shiv sainiks attention for some time but I am sure that by 14th they will be back at doing what they are good at, getting couples married at the spot. You see for one day they become the marriage bureau and not a political party. In fact its a wonderful opportunity for all those couples whose parents don't approve of their marriage. Just go near Shiv saina's headquarter and do your thingie. Within no time you'll be married and your parents won't be able to stop it. trust me its a full proof plan.

The sales of love and mushy songs will double. The sales of songs related to heart break and pain will triple.

Red roses will regain their popularity and it wont be considered corny to gift them.

A slew of romantic movies will be released to cash on the occasion. This season its valentine's day and Dear John.

Movies like Notebook, A walk to remember, Notting Hill, PS I Love you, Holiday, sleepless in Seattle, when harry met sally, Dirty dancing, Love actually, Wall E and Dracula (hey thats a love story too) will be on the must watch list.

Valentine's cards will be sent. Some people will receive them from their friends, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters and grand parents, but majority will receive them from their lovers and stalkers.

Every shop round the corner will be decorated in pink color with heart shaped balloons and red roses...yukkkkk........, (Am I the only one who hates it?)

Restaurants and hotels will have special packaged deals for couples. A weekend retreat or a special valentine's day menu consisting of French dishes and wines which I can never pronounce.

Petrol consumption will also increase as most of the couples will be going on long drives and enjoying their time in solitude.

"I Love You" will be the most abused word in the world on Feb 14th.

Ferrero rocher chocolate will be one of the most popular and celebrated gifts along with teddy bears.

Newspapers will have special spaces for lovers to write their messages and radio stations will ask listeners to dedicate songs to their better halves.

Public display of love will be rampant and unapologetic especially outside Maharashtra, UP and wherever Shiv Sena is absent. Parks will be booked in advance.

The bookings at saloons and beauty parlors will alarmingly increase.


Maximum people will get married on this particular day, and that's not all there will be community and group marriages with hundreds of couples saying the same pledges. I wonder how long their relationships will last.

Single people like me will try hard to find some other ways to amuse and get distracted from all the circus happening around. Best way will be to get pissed drunk, play call of duty and remember all the good things about being single like appreciating independence, gaining weight without fear, flirting with anyone without a pang of guilt and being spontaneous.


Well there has been a debate about this particular day dedicated to Love. Some people say that Valentine's day has nothing to do with love and everything to do with money. Its a way to milk cash from people who are in love. and some feel that its better to have one day dedicated to love rather than none.

Whatever said and done its one day to ignore reality and be a part of the hype.
So Happy Valentine's Day to all.
