Feb 14 Public Announcement

"Happy Valentine's Day!"

'ka ching!' Thank You! You are the 123rd person to wish me. NEXT!

On this Valentine's day evening, I wish to make a public announcement. To all of you who are reading: I am NOT celebrating Valentine's. As all of us may understand (,if not I am telling you now), Valentine's is a day for lovers. It is a day where couples and lovers show their love to each other. Since I do not fulfil any of the criteria, you might as well save up your texting money and energy; wish some other people who ARE celebrating today,k?

Don't get me wrong. I am not feeling blue or what. It is just like I'm not an Indian, thus, people don't wish me Happy Deepavali because I don't celebrate that festival. Get the point?

Just for your information (and since I've just found out), Feb 14 is also the Single Awareness Day (SAD) .

Read this (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) :

Singles Awareness Day (SAD) is a humorous holiday celebrated on February 14. It serves as an alternative to Valentine's Day for people who are single; that is, who are not involved in a romantic relationship and can therefore not participate in Valentine's Day traditions. Some observers of SAD do so out of spite for Valentine's Day as a Hallmark holiday or for other reasons.On Singles Awareness Day single people gather to celebrate or to commiserate in their single status. Some want to remind romantic couples to remember those less fortunate than they are. A common greeting on this day by its adherents is "Happy SAD!"
The holiday is a good example of self-deprecating humor.

V-Day or SAD , Feb 14 to me is just the same as any other days. I don't mind chocolates, flowers, balloons or any gifts from you though. Similarly, I may not be an Indian but I still take 'muruku'. So, buy it, give it to me and I shall take it with no hesitation.

Anyway, to all those love birds out there, Happy Valentine's Day! And to all the carefree singles, Happy SAD!
