Since most members of Ram Sena are behind bars…I feel the urgency to express how much I am aligned with them…
Most of the Valentine day rituals are WRONG (trying to use strong words to mix-up with my fundamentalist co-thinkers) and is against Indian culture (oh! This expression is mandatory)
Flowers: Papa taught me as a kid not to pluck flowers, and so true. It’s not at all environment friendly that you demand a particular flower (red rose) more then others. Think about genetic diversity man!!
Chocolates: Mouth watering and mouthful choclates one day and she will starve herself for next three weeks. Bahut na-insaafi hai. (it’s just not fair)
Candle-light Dinner: The pain she went through by getting her eyebrows plucked for you, was for a reason; to look pretty but how do you intend to look at her in that dim light. There can be other issues if only one of you is vegetarian and you order both kinds of dishes.
Gift: Selecting gift is an art. Being able to afford a gift is luck. Keeping gift a secret is intelligence. But accepting gift with grace is an extraordinary ability. The closer she is to you the more chances of her disproving your choice.
Stress/Depression: Not really a ritual but a commonly found side effect on those who do not have a true love already identified. But the catch is, if you have identified your love, you struggle to unite in holy matrimony. And those who embraced matrimony their woes are unspeakable… So basically the trauma continues in one form or other, at times due to absence of love and more so once you find it.
Moral of the Story: Celebrate Love and Life each and everyday to the fullest!!
Happy Living!!

Pretty well-intined thoughts!
"Selecting gift is an art. Being able to afford a gift is luck. Keeping gift a secret is intelligence. But accepting gift with grace a extraordinary ability" - only a writer of your ability could have come up with that. Great post, as always !
to tie together the woes of singlehood, courtship and marriage together must be an auspicious act.. to be performed on an auspicious day.. and tht my freind is what ram sene would like to help people with. unke samaj sevi bhavnaon ka aadar karo!
Here are my thoughts:
Flowers: Have been going since ages and this is the way by which the ecological balance is maintained :-)
Chocolates: Starving a matter of personal choices, if the one loves you knows that you are cal conscious, he'd get you fruits instead.
Candle-light Dinner: Probably you are missing the point here, the objective of Candle-light dinner is so the she doesn't see the guys face too closely to see that there are pimples and scars ;) besides people turn from veg to non-veg in and non-veg to veg, if you know what I mean :)
Gift: Its actually good to be candid, if he is closer and loves you, she would herself tell what she wants, which actually eases out the uncertainties a little bit
Stress/Depression: Well know fact, grass is always greener on the other side; not only applies for love and marriage, but also applies for the rest of the things, so its pretty much BAU. If you wont be depressed/stressed because of this, you would be for something else.

But the catch is, if you have identified your love, you struggle to unite in holy matrimony but how to identify is first question :(
