Valentine’s Day: shadowing youths at its best

We often heard about the date sheet of valentine’s week. It has a greatest and profound impact on our youths. Valentine’s craze is not all new, but its trends keep on changing with the changing era. It starts from rose, propose and followed by different chocolate, teddy and other gifts oriented days. Youths curiously wait for this lovable cum spend rifted weekend with their partners. They start preparing them by taking care of their looks, dressing style and loads of money in their pockets.

                             Some wait to propose, express their uncertain love to whom they like or betted at. Some allure their mates by giving expensive gifts to them; some celebrates it to pursue their annoyed partners; some make it alone with wines as the tag for being cheated by their loved ones. Indeed there are thousands of reasons to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but it could only full-fill through “money”. So valentine’s simplest    funda is- ‘if you have money this valentine, your honey’s smile will get double shine!!’

                Youths lavishly throws money on their outfits, looks, gifts to look finest on the valentine’s culmination.

Internet is playing a full-fledged part in upgrading the fever of love. It is providing the facility to make an E-valentine and even let you arrange an on-line date with any virtual partner. Valentine’s Day is the second largest card selling day after Christmas and of course benefits of gifts centers, malls, florists etc cannot be disregarded. From the parking lot to the restraunt’s and hotel bills everything’s value become so higher that it appears as if they are serving three times overhaul at a single time. But who cares about bills in front of a jovial, chirpy smile which makes them feel stylish and a up-to-the-minute person.

                                  Sometimes aspiration of giving expensive gifts to their partner leads to thievery, robbery and other offensive acts. Influence of western culture is grasping by us very frequently.

                  With the obsessions of so many roses, proposes, chocolates, teddies, hugs, kisses and valentine’s surprises. Youths specially students of school and colleges bunk their classes, break the rules, hamper the discipline and try their best to enjoy valentine’s week. But they never think and care about their image, decency, career and other responsibilities.

Undeniably everybody has the right to love and to be loved, everyday is made to cherish the fragrance of love, but spending a lot of money, energy and time at this epoch is not fair thing to our life and future.

           While reading this piece of writing some might be considering as a sort of instruction, but if think practically then many questions and points arises this will definitely let us to think twice before mesmerizing with the valentine’s craze. How far is it correct to throw parent’s money on your uncertain and ever changing love? What about the classes which get missed just for having fun?

                                         I believe that it is a foolish act to burn the candle from both ends and regretting later, with having nothing. Showing love to your soul-mate is virtuous and important but without compromising with the career and the precious time which is keeps on slipping from our hand.

         Valentine’s Day is not the actual target but a very nice occasion and source to keep my thought among you. It’s time to take a stand to first make our future bright and contribute our ideas and success to our nation.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
