Ugh! What is wrong with people these days? Are we living in a attention deprived world where one latches onto any vague attempt at feeling special...if only for this one sordid utterly commercialized day?
I am no bitter and cynic 'single' spinster as dear annie would have you believe.
Nopes. I do believe in the warm fuzzy feeling (aww...) and the 'i wake up with a smile in the morning thinking of you' bit (double aww...) as well as the seeing the world through rose tinted glasses part (ok...enough!) but, but, but...there's only so much of red roses, heart shaped balloons and cupid cutouts that i can tolerate. That too at 10 am in the morning, when i walk into work. Yes, this is the scene in my office...some brilliant crap ass thought it would be fun to deck up the whole office with vestiges of valentine vomit (pardon my choice of words). Its as if they are promotiing romance at work and the last time i checked, that was a bad HR policy don't you think? Especially in an organization like mine, which is as porous as a two bit ragged sponge. Hehe.
Anyways so somehow i'll get through this day...i know i will. I'll not frown on the lovey dovey hand holding couples, i will not roll my eyes at the one hour traffic jam i was stuck in at delhi's biggest market coz of the said couples rush to get to candle lit, rose strewn eateries and i will not balk at the romantic music.
Watch out though...
Achilles Heel...Cupid's Arrow!

i was laughing at the valentine vomit puked by the new HR policy. i was also laughing at the couple who wore red sweaters. my laughter was puked at the guy who asked his girl out outside the cafe in the back alley stairs. and at those who cause most of the traffic jam in def col and i couldnt enter a place where i am considered a regular. but it is all in the name of love and bell-in-time day. so all i can say is (even for ppl like us) AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
i can so relate to this post valentine's day sucks !!!
chutia concept !
I liked your post... I hope that your Valentines Day turned out well. My work place is anti-Valentine decoration so it worked out for me.
I knnnoooowwww!!! Such a marketing gimmick for Archies cards!
Sometimes I wonder if its just coz I am getting old(er) that I cant tolerate this puppy love crap anymore! Hehe..
"vestiges of valentine vomit"
hahahahahaha.....good one Lady. Got 24 roses in the morning with coffee being served in bed. WEll, Feng Shui says Roses in the bderoom means your lover will like younger girls...and well, my coffee didnt have the right amount of sugar.
Then felt RATHER funny trying to look all goo-goo eyed, only managed to end up looking goggled. Sigh.
In Exile: it is a laudha concept. :)
@ Moonstruck
I've had enough of aww's...they are so cute, that is so sweet crap. Put St. Valentine to sleep till he comes to peform his sordid duties again, next year.
@ Inexile
It so is! And where've you been siree?
@ Brandy
Thanks for the props girl and you don't know how lucky you are that your office is anti-valentines. Nothing worse than working in office till 10 pm surrounded by red. Eeks!
@ Ruchika
Age has got nothing to do with it. Its about getting back to reality. If you are the smart cookie i think you are, then you must've been at everyone's fave drinking hole, watching Pink Floyd's Pulse concert screening :)
@ Clit
Jesus effing Christ! Roses and coffee in bed? I am officially aghast and devastated :P
howdy...been long eh?

@ meshed

Valentine day sucks when you are single and even more if want to be with someone but are not... but its amazing for those who are in love and get another occasion to express their love... so for the sake of love i support the day and ofcourse companies profit from it but emotions expressed are far more valuable.....
from my comments it looks like i been celebrating valentine day like anything... not true have been single on all valentine day and this one managed to pass by even without drinking
Plain spoken piece of work..yeah I agree
know the feeling...the red almost makes u gag
