VALENTINE’S DAY IS A CELEBRATION...
But it should only be that: a reminder. Because we should be making our partners feel special all year round. Not just on Valentine’s Day — that’s when it becomes pointless.”
GENDER BENDER
With Valentine’s Day, another misnomer is that the guy pampers the girl. Whereas there is little emphasis on the girl doing anything for the guy. Dr. Jyoti Kapoor, Senior Psychiatrist, Paras Hospitals Gurugram, says, “Although, culturally, romance is seen as a man taking the initiative in expressing love and the woman acknowledges, situation and mindsets have largely changed over the last many years. Valentine’s Day is now seen as a day of love, so friends and close people not necessarily having a romantic relationship also use this opportunity to show their acknowledgment by way of giving gifts or going out for a celebratory event. This is a great shift in thought.”
