Its a love affair..

If Target looks red on a regular day with red and white color co-ordination on absolutely everything...how does it look right before Valentine's Day ....REDDEST !!
The store is stocked to the roof with roses, heart studded balloons, cute to cranky stuffed teddies all professing their love in cheesy to comic lines and enough chocolates to keep the dentists busy for the rest of the year.
The entire marketing and advertising community is in love !!...... No, its not just candies, roses and diamonds to send girls buckling on their knees.....Even the Food and Oil industry is in love.....How else do u celebrate this Valentines day with a 'healthy heart' :) ....And if you want to save a file today, you can buy one of those heart shaped flash drives with gem stones (?!?) stuck on them (OMG !!!)
If you are planning to stay at home to escape it all, beware, the hearts are barraging through the air waves and into ur TV sets creating the urgency for you to go out and prove to ur girl how much she means to you...all in the the hope that the frantic and extravagant spending would provide the much needed stimulus to 'jumpstart the economy'. Amidst this whole chaos, St Valentine seems to be missing the mention
Happy Valentines Day Everybody !!... :)
I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon - Anonymous :D
