Whether Indian should celebrate valentine day ? listen me......?

Yes, Indian literature is full of references to the 'Sharada Sashi' [Spring's moon], and the 14-day long festival of LOVE which ends on the 'Sharada Poornima' [Full moon of Spring] day.\nIt is also recorded that young men and women [both married, and un !] used to come out in groups - and enjoy themselves quite publicly - along the banks of rivers, or on the seas' shores !\nThanks to 'western' influences, we have forgotten all that - and imagine that we need a Valentine's Day to express our hearts' desires !\nAnd worse, all those self-appointed 'guardians' of our Indian subcontinent's 'culture' go about bashing-up and terrorising harmless young lovers [in typical 'western' style !] - conveniently forgetting that it was India who first initiated a healthy intermingling of boys and girls, to neutralise the frustrations that such 'isolationist tendencies' can generate !\n...Hey guys 'n gals, how about getting the whole wide world to celebrate the Spring Moon festival ?! Unlike St Valentine's Day, it will last an entire fortnight !

I have got no valentine.\n\nSo, as ususal, I would just sigh looking at those couples having a wonderful time, and I would again ask God - "Why me is alone?"\n\nOn getting no answer as alwaya, just come back from there, try to concentrate on studies, and get unhappy...telling myself - "Tommorrow is going to be great.."\n\nSo, its better to look at those people having good time, and hope that someday even I will be happy..but dosent make much of difference.

Do I have to be an Indian girl to understand this question?

I can no to this question reason being , Indian people attach themselves from soul and Indian woman allow a man (even other than his husband ) access only after full soul attachment .So the question of one night stands is out >If in some case it happens ,she is definately going to be awake for many nights to come

Nothing special as my hubby and I don't believe we need a special day to show our love to one another. Or a commericial reason to buy something. It is actually our rule to not buy flowers during the months of Feb and May as they jump the price so much as to make it ridiculous..Why does everyone have to have a special day to say I Love You! Should not this be done daily in a relationship? This is a day to make those with no partner feel alone and I think it is so sad to see so many feel like that because so many fall for commericial bulllll.

I don't think you can.  It's already February, and the "perfect" romance takes longer than that to develop.  But if by "perfect" you mean "the best I can do," then I think the main thing is to be genuinely nice to all the men you know, all those who might possibly develop into your golden soul-mate, and let their reactions to you make the choice.\n\nIf you just mean, "How do I decide which man to spend St. Valentine's Day with," then it is more like New Year's Eve: traditionally, you spend these special holidays with the one who means most to you.  Or rather, the intersection of the one who means most to you and the one you mean the most to.  And so the answer is to be honest with yourself and with the men around you.  What do you really want out of a love relationship, and what are you prepared to offer?

Well, you just have to find someone who shares the same V-day opinion that you do.  My husband and I love V-day b/c it's our anniversary.  We share that as our day.  Not as a commercialized holiday.

no all veterans should be honored. those men have rised their lives for us and given us the freedoms we enjoy everyday.  that is a very unpatriotic thing to say.  should we quit celebrating your bday?

People make to much of Valentine's Day. It's just another day of the week. There shouldn't be a certain day to make someone buy the person they love something. It just makes them feel guilty so they do. If you truely love someone you shouldn't have to have a certain day to show it, just SHOW IT!! My husband & I will do the same thing we do eveyday , wake up, thank the Lord for those you love & all you have!

I probably will not do much valentines day. Maybe exchange gifts with my friend. I will probably help with the children during our valentines banquet at church, so the adults can enjoy each other's company freely and I can enjoy playing games with them and letting them know how much God loves them.

Just go through it like any other day... No big deal. Chill out. You probably feel bad not because you need your friends that much but because you haven't found that special someone. But I see no reason why this has to be the accent on Valentine's day. Until you find your other half, it's just a day in February. Go chat online, you'll find a lot of people like you and perhaps you could even meet The One. Hugs!!

I have to agree with honeybunches. I never had a valentine, so I would love to just have a girl, my girl with me on that specail day. Just being with someone you care about a lot on holiday and events is good enought.

Definitely, don't feel sorry for yourself!!  It's only a silly "Hallmark" holiday, created for people to spend lots of money on each other.\n\nJust go out with your friends or something and celebrate being YOU!!

So what?! No biggy.  :)  \n\nNo need to be hooked up with somone JUST BECAUSE it's Valentine's day.  \n\nSome people make way too much of it.  Remember - Every day is a day to show love... This crud has become way too commercialized.
