In a world full of sceptics, I’d like to say that I am a believer. (not an overnight convert or anything). After much deliberation with myself, I realised that I’m not averse to the idea of V-day anymore nor am I a supporter of it being an over-the-top celebratory holiday. I do believe that love should be celebrated daily and the smallest of gestures count, but I’m not opposed to the concept of gifts either. Who doesn’t love gifts or tangible proof of being and feeling special to someone?
The haters will say, “It’s just a money-making racket and a farce”. I think above all there’s absolutely nothing wrong with what makes people happy or brings a smile to their face. I seem to have digressed—but let me carry on with a list of heart-shaped accessories that you can wear to your date. And even if you aren’t on a date, make sure you celebrate the love you have for yourself by dressing up. Thank me later and wait! maybe spam me with some pictures of you all sporting these accessories.
