for Valentine's Day?
Every year, on the 15th, there are gory accounts of young boys and girls who have taken out their 'revenge' either on themselves, or on the ones they 'loved'.
Are our young, who teeter between irresponsibility and Bollywood in a hypocritical society, really ready to take on love?
Forget the historical background of St. Valentine, Valentine's Day, world over, is taken as a day for celebrating love.
Love, however, has certain commitments built into it:
Respect - for oneself and for the other
Responsibility - towards each other
Rapture - of a life shared
If we're looking at the Day as a celebration of love day, then we need to celebrate all love - for each other, for our parents and siblings, for friends and colleagues - the world in general...
And, if we're looking at Valentine's Day as a fun day, then we need to enjoy it as just that - a fun day - balloons, hearts, mush, and loads of plain and simple merriment...
