Whats the need of celebrating something on a particular day? Ok, birthdays and anniversaries are understandable, but Valentine's Day? Rose Day? Father's Day? Mother's Day?... Come on, gimme a break. We do not need a ONE day to express our feelings for those we love. Expressions and emotions should be expressed freely, whenever felt like. Somehow trying to ape Western culture by celebrating these 'days' seems a little fake, especially when, in our Indian culture, joint families have existed and still do. In the West, people hardly have time for family and thus came up with this "day" thingy. We do not need it.
Yes, I know its loads of fun and makes you want to giggle and hug yourself for joy as you are remembered, and showered with gifts (hopefully!)... But then, why don't you pause and think.. If you are thought of on that day by someone special, chances are, that that person thinks of you most of the time, every single day.. They can express it on any day they want... So can you :)
Everyday is special... Burn the candles, use the nice sheets... Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
