Last three days i have been getting utterly irritated with the numerous text messages and emails wishing me a happy hug day, chocolate day and god knows what not.
It just disgusts me that now we all need days to give hugs to people we care for, make promises to our loved ones on a specific day or to gift chocolates as a token of love.
I wouldn't be surprised if we will soon hear of a day that will celebrate break ups between couples. But more than than this what's worse is the fact these days have become more like publicity gimmicks rather than having any emotional appeal attached to it. I mean why do we need a day to go and apologize to people??
It's not as if we don't do that on that particular day the apology will hold no value. Moreover i would love to know the brain behind all this who has conspicuously thought of all these days to add spice in people's life.
The biggest disappointment behind all this are the people who form unions to curb all these celebrations.Why on Earth are they concerned whether someone is hugging someone else, why do they bother if couples believe in expressing their love publicly on a particular day??
They have no right or authority to threaten people if they choose to celebrate something they believe in.
It's shameful that so many of us indulge ourselves either in encouraging all these totally 'velli' activities but worse are those who on the name moral policing go around brandishing anything and everything that they feel doesn't gel with their ideology.
We are a nation of more than a billion people and their are huge number of issues which need to be addressed and getting engaged in such petty skirmishes just depict our mental blocks and that how stuck up we all are
Seriously, for once lets just Grow up.
