Hey friends!
Aah. It's that time of the year. Time to fret. Time part ways with your hard earned cash. Time to make bookings. Time to please your better half otherwise face hell. Yes, it's that time of the year when cupid strikes, and in all honesty, I've seen men and women more worried, tense and scared as opposed to loving, in love or being loved. Happy sh*tty valentines day everyone.
Lahore has seen a burst of flowers everywhere, not the kinds you see planted in green beds, but in shops, restaurants, stalls, and florists (duh!) The prices have been jacked up, and suddenly the amount you pay for a bouquet has already doubled from last week. Everyone is out there claiming to have the best package and are even ready to have the package delivered to your loved ones.
Restaurants are going berserk promoting their Valentines deals. They are coming up with innovative ways to lure you in: eat at our place and ein vouchers and prizes. Courier companies are giving you offers to send packages through them. In short, Lahore has been transformed into a city love (amidst all the roadworks, beggars, pollution and noise!)
I don't plan on doing anything this year. Every year it's been madness trying to get bookings and flowers done. Why should I have reserve the expression of my love to this one day? I also fail to understand when this culture got imbibed int ours. Valentines is a massive marketing gimmick which unfortunately a lot of us have been sucked into, including me, till this year.
I say, if you love your wife/ husband/ girlfriend/ boyfriend, say you love them on all days of the week/ month/ year instead of waiting for 14th February each year.
Happy Sh*tty Valentines Day everyone! Lol!
