Feb perspective for me.

It is February, ten days already gone. So obviously Louve is in the air! Yes with Kolaveri rage all over, louve has taken ever. It is now that the shops deck themselves with red hearts and teddy bears, face book trends with love messages and valentines week posts.

 Honestly it’s not a delight for some single girl to watch. Not that I am against it, but my views differ. Why would you want to know, “who will be your valentine in 2012?” or” what gift will you get?” And I have friends who really take it and then make fuss about comments over it. I mean how you can believe in something as your social profile to tell who you may date, what gift you may get and whatever. Some claiming they do it for time-pass, well I claim you’ll as jobless then. Much ado about nothing!

As I traverse every day, on my way to college I come across many affected by the love disease. (Yes I call it disease to imply the intensity of the feelings which are involved). The other day I had a group of 3 girls in my compartment discussing their plans about the V-day. They were loud enough for others to hear them. The conversation went on to buying gifts and somehow they ended up comparing the amount each one of them was ready to spend on their boy-friends! While one of them was tight on her budget, the other one seemed to show off her wealth by planning to buy a good 1000-1500rs.watch. I could figure out that the one spending the least felt a little bad. But Why?? From when did love become so costly that you actually need good hefty price to prove it? It has become very pretentious. Why would you want to measure it in terms of amount spent on each-other? Aren’t feelings enough?

 Well, personally I would pamper myself, if I’d that much money. (Self-obsessed I agree). Spend on yourself, who knows if you going to be forever committed to that guy tomorrow. To put my thought across I would say, “Charity begins at home so love yourself first and then others.” Most of them today are in a relationship to show-off and be in trend. Love is commercialized, that last thing that could happen to it.

Why is it only in February do you see more lovey-dovey couples or decked shops? Rest of the year where does it all go? Is there necessity of 1 day to showcase it and before that giving rise to the whole Valentine week? It somehow for me does not fit in. Stop commercialising the goddamn innocent feeling, the innocence is thoroughly lost.

I am not against love; I too would like my share of experiencing it. But then again seeing the love-striken examples around, I prefer how I am. Certainly Happily single. And I am satisfied that there is one person who has undeniable love for me- MOM! J
