valentine's day

So its upon again us, V day where if you have a girlfriend, you are compelled to shower attention (read money) to show your love for her. And oh yes before I forget, this extends to your mother, father, uncle, dog, cat, anyone or anything you've decided to love on that day-just to make yourself feel good.


So who really benefits from all this?- of course you've heard this cliche but as someone not so famous once said -every cliche has SOME element of truth in it. And the element of truth in this, that the masters of commerce, have commercialised love.

While in the old days, you showed your love, any day, any time, now in one full blast, you put on your best show and show that you care for your mate or whatever-just to return to the indifferent shadow of the lover you were a day ago.

Heck, the results are out, that women cant really be trusted. I mean there was that Japanese study and a British study which said women really lusted after macho men, while they liked being looked after by mild nerdy ones.

Now if that aint dupilicity, I dont know what is.

So, the verdict, is that women are as bad, if not worse, than men.

Then its ok, cos it's all fair in love and war. And when you bring your beau to your favorite posh restaurant and get that best table, and when you start looking into each other eyes and whisper sweet nothings into each others ears, watch out for those moments when your other half gets a crick in the neck, furtively stealing a glance at that gorgeous at the next table.
