“Didi, don’t make him
wear that, put him in a red dress!!!”……Pokhila, my maid came running while I
was putting my son in his school uniform.
I asked, “Why?”
Pokhila replied, “Today is Valentine Day. His school is
celebrating and in the note book, they have instructed the parents to make
their children wear red dress.”
I went to the market
yesterday evening. Heard few teenagers talking, “Keep your WhatsApp on….”, “What
are you wearing tomorrow – Red or Pink?”, “Let’s go to Rasta Café tomorrow!!”
Isn’t Valentine Day
entering a new era?
If we look back, at
least a decade ago, did any pre-school or high school celebrate Valentine Day….I
doubt. Did any teenager easily plan to
go to a Midnight Dhaba?
People used to keep longing
for a landline call, or eagerly kept waiting for the postman to deliver a Card,
or meet in a day time restaurant to date, with pink or red dress…. Now, we see people
longing for a “Ping”, ä “WhatsApp message” or “phone call” and pre-planning to meet
at a pub or a discotheque.
The intent for your
affection or love is just a click away from communication. But I don’t understand
whether all these help making the love and romance bloom or wither away like
roses that fuel businesses on Valentine Day?
By the way…what are
you wearing today??? ……I am wearing “Blue”!!!! Meaning???....Dont know!!!! :)
