Peculiar Thoughts: Love is in the air.... It's adding to the Pollution

Valentine's Week - A nightmare for all the single people out there.

Are you also sick of all the gooey red and pink hearts? 😒

All the insipid cards with a diaper clad cupid shooting arrows? 😖

All the sappy songs playing at every god forsaken store? 😩

All the smug couples sitting in cramped restaurants exchanging heart shaped gifts? 😤

Well if you're also feeling bitter about this -

Welcome to the club!

I find Valentine's Week cringe worthy. All the lovey dovey crap during this week is enough to make me barf a few times. Don't get me wrong, I am not unromantic, behind this cynicism lies the heart of a poet (kidding) but I am sure that looking at all the lovely couples making googly eyes at each other is enough to make all single people cringe to the core.

Seven ridiculous days filled with Nicholas sparks swoon worthy gestures to reach that one day which can be dubbed as a mass wedding day. Am I the only one who thinks that it's a selfish day celebrating only couples, I means Where's Single's Day???

This list is like a downward slope getting worst with each Effing day -

* Rose Day🌹

Why? Why does this day even exist? This annoying day is the start of a mental countdown to hell. Also good luck purchasing flowers that are twice there original rate.

* Propose Day💍

Ever heard of thinking out of the box? What's original in proposing someone on propose day? Do you think your crush will be obliged to say yes if you proposed on this day??? Let me burst your precious little bubble reminding you that she/he can say NO (infact they should say no bcoz of your stupid unoriginal idea)

* Chocolate Day🍫

Personally I have nothing against this day other than the fact that it's timeline is all wrong. This day should come after Valentine's Day - I mean we deserve chocolates after surviving a cringy week with cuddle junction couples hopping all over the place.

* Teddy Day

Who came up with this shit? Teddy's are cute but they're useless. What are you even gonna do with an overpriced stuffed dog- Hug it will PMSing?

* Promise Day💖

Seriously?? A whole day wasted in shoving a barrel of promises down each other's throat. Why? Because a sick man child is stabbing people with poisoned arrows to create "Eros". We should stop taking that hobbit seriously.

* Hug Day

I can't even.... Why? It's appalling to watch all the sweaty smelly bodies coming in contact with each other at every freaking corner.

* Kiss Day

Why can't you miserable humans be happy with one valentine's day?? Why do want to have a freaking "Aashiko ki Navratri"?? And what the hell is this kiss day even dedicated to? "Exchanging Germs"

* Valentine's Day💟

AKA International Single Awareness Day - it's like the mother of all witches.

A piece of advice for all - If you wanna see some romance and action, choose Netflix. Don't spoil your day by going out to watch a version of fifty shades desi with your pristine eyes.

I know I am going to get some people's ire up by mentioning my hatred for this day but my opinions are my own (no offense to anyone who enjoys this loverbird holiday). The idea of Valentine's Day is wonderful, it's the mass market reality of it that I find unappealing, the diabetic commercialized way with which people spend this day is ridiculous. You don't need to buy someone heart shaped cuff links (which they'll never ever wear) to prove your love.

It's like you're supposed to be ultra romantic for one continuous week (what if you've diarrhoea or some contagious disease during those days? You're plans will be out of the window in a nanosecond and the money spent on the dinner reservations will fly in the air with cupid), it feels forced, scheduled, a scam concocted by the greeting card companies, its bogus!

Love has to be genuine, sincere, intense and often spontaneous. So instead of saying it with hallmark cards, candies, hearts or flowers - Say it using words with honesty EVERYDAY of the year (or whenever you feel like it), tell your loved ones how much you miss them, how you grin stupidly at the thought of them, how you appreciate having them in your life, bake them cookies if you want to (unless you're an absolute catastrophe in the kitchen). Say it when you want to tell them, not when you're supposed to tell them.....

Good news is that to save us from the wrath of Valentine's Week, some great mind individual introduced the Anti Valentine Week.🤩
