Will You Be My Valentine?



Will you be my Valentine? These dialogues are very common during Valentine week. Several boys and girls encounter new Romeo’s during these days. I just remember few decades back, there were no valentine celebrations. It all started with the introduction of internet to common man. People saw these valentine day celebrations in Rome and other countries by the Catholics. Then these unemployed and free people around the country planned to start the same game here in India.

The History

I still remember, when I was in school, Valentine Day was celebrated in church with prayers and chorus singing for Saint Valentine. But, today the scene is very different; today’s youth is crazy celebrating love towards their “Special Friend”. They are buying expensive gifts for them, posting photos online and what not.

The Fashion Trending Behind Valentine’s Day

These couples want the whole world to know that they are in love and someone is crazy after them. They want to spend full live with each other. But, is life a “Bed Of Roses”, with great freedom of expression comes a great responsibility also.  A responsibility to accept each other the way you are, to love and respect each other and of course to give space to each other. These young children from business class families are so desperate to show off themselves to others that they forget this second side of the coin. There no coin with a single face, with freedom comes the bondage, with rights comes the duties.

Moral Science

Sometimes, I feel like adding a new subject in all school syllabuses. Though, it’s not a new subject. I still remember that “Moral Science” was one of the main stream subjects in convent schools; children need to study hard these books with stories on The Bible with moral values and pass the subject to enter the new class. Today, it should be mandatory in all government, public and private schools to educate moral values in the children.

The Bottom Line

I would be very thankful to the reader, if they start educating their children these moral values from today. This will not only bring a better tomorrow but also reduce these vulgar valentine proposals and cheap commenting, eve teasing type of behaviors in the youth.
