desicritics.org | I Hate Valentine's Day
Traditionally, Valentine's Day has been a notable occasion only in the West, but in recent years, with the unprecedented media exposure we have through satellite TV and the Internet and as the subcontinent has come to blindly acquire every and anything the West does, the V-day theme has become the number one marketing idea on every advertisement agency's mind.
...in Pakistan at least, the majority of those celebrating V-day will be the young, and most of these young that will be celebrating by going out on dates wearing all red will probably be doing so by misleading the first people in their lives that made them realize what love really is - their parents. They fact that the many young people can trick their parents into thinking they're just going out with some friends for an honest lunch, and actually be with a perfect stranger they've made friends with on the Internet, or something, and call their hypocrisy love is depressing more the anything.
