Another Valentinesss.. day

I have always wondered why people give so much importance to this day... Why Red roses, chocolates, Teddy bear (god knows which idiot thought of it first!!!) and Diamonds...Why???I still don't get it..Why do people think that women love to be wooed in this way...and why on a Valentines day..??? ....Ok..I have no say in this matter as I have never been in "So called" Love.. I am not much of a believer in the kind of love that is often seen..

I spent my valentines day with a bunch of girl friends . One of them actually wanted to spend it in a mall ,so that she can get in the festive spirit of "Valentine's day.."and feel less depressed. But we ended up holing in our old dreary HOSTEL.In fact one of them bought us chocolates to treat each other since none of us had "so called" BOY friendsss..I know what you are thinking....We are a desperate bunchh..YEsss ..we are..Thankfully none of them thought of roses to brighten our moods.. Night started of with the usual "My life Sucksssss!!!" talks, went on to Office life(from weirdos to cute ones). Then the topic changed as expected to "What is wrong with us..why aren't we taken..???" We consoled each other by telling the apple story(where the rotten ones get picked first and good ones remain on the top ..so they get picked last) . I did not like the apple story very much.....

Then there was this really funny incident that my friend narrated..where she was standing across the road...and a bunch of teenagers(13 -14 yrs) who were playing football on the other side of the road asked " 'Aunty' can you plzzz pass us the ball ???" and she did not understand who they was addressing and hence didn't bother to answer..Only on second thoughts did it register to her that they were actually addressing her. We seem to have progressed from being called as ' Akka(sister) to Aunty'.. We are in a phase where we find it slightly difficult to digest the FACT that we are ACTUALLY ...growing Old.Suddenly 33 seems to be the right age to marry ( There was a time when we thought people who reached 33 were really old though :-) Not Anymore...)

We kept asking "Where the hell are all these morons(our future husbands) holed up in?" . I suggested this great idea of beating up our husbands after our marriage for giving us all this stress and tension. Nobody seemed to like my Idea though:-( They felt that our Pooor ...husbands might also be going through the same stress that we go through...Whatever..I don't think men are capable of any emotions at all...I know I sound cynical. No the truth is I do believe they are very much emotional like us..except they are taught that they shouldn't be emotional .Emotions are supposed to be girly stuff and that doesnot seem to suit their manly image. I remember my cousin (age 10) who was bullied and ridiculed for crying ....while I was allowed to cry at the same age. Doesn't make any sense....

We departed with the hope that we will not be seeing each other again on the next valentines day at least. I recall that we said the same thing for the last three years...though :-) Pretty interesting Valentines day..isn't it??? Even I feel so..
