It's V - Day yet again..aargghhhhhh

Its the Pukey day yet again.. I would like to call it that because the effect of this day seems to be geting even more nauseating with each year.. Saw Archies a few days back.. its disgustingly pink, red and only hearts and teddies.. so much of them that u dnt even want to enter the shop .. wonder how people get in there to chose something from that crap there..

The worst is that the kind of potrayal of the day across the media is such that the mass perception of the day has become "the day of expressing love to your boyfriend or girlfriend.." Rarely do people realise that its a day of love in general , could be for anyone or anything as well..

Well for me it was day long stoppage at the hospital yet again with mumma.. though most of it we spent watching AAJ TAK while waiting.. daily news from 9 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon became just headlines every half an hour (the period for which i was before the tv watching that channel).. and it was just valentines day across their programming..

The List of topics on Valentine programming are as follows -

• Exposing a internet website high end prostitute supply chain for valentines day in Mumbai..
• Parents in mumbai are employing detectives to keep a track of their kids love lives, etc..
• Two Wives One Husband - The story behind one man who seems to have married two women and yet again one of those inane stick and hair fights on tv for their sidey husband and the so called sad exposure on V-day..
• Kajol - Ajay devgan, Roop Kumar Rathore and wife, Bappi lahiri and wife.. such and such couples singing songs and talking about their love life.
• Students in DU campuses.. how are they celebrating it.. well it seems none of them were on campus.. but bunking college and painting the city Red or Pink whatver the hell it is..
• send love sms 's to your partner and the same would be displayed on the channel.. They were all such filmy and bolywood msgs.. Do people really think the idea of love is so shallow?
• The one to be the icing on the cake was ofcourse Rakhi Sawant Slaps Boyfriend on Valentine Day - To cut the story short.. a full fledged publicised break up 3 days back between rakhi sawant and boyfriend Abhisekh.. Today Abhisekh lands up in Rakhi's house with all the possible news channels.. to ask forgiveness with a bunch of flowers and teddy bear.. Man it was such a sidey affair..it was a good half an hour entertainment.. Rakhi's histrionics.. Third Grade rasta affair.. Abhisekh singing songs like a pussy.. Rakhi slaps him as well.. And all of this very obviously looked fake and cooked up for publicity stunts.. it was so obvious because they sucked at their acting and knowing their history won't be surprised that they would have done it for publicity on their own.. or if aaj tak would have approached them for some Valentine Trp ratings..

My head's pounding after the whole days TV bombardment.. not that i had a choice.. because it was a public place and the patients were all watching with enthusiasm the entire drama unfold..i wished all through that i could change the channel..

Its inane bombardment of absolutely ridiculous stuff.. and really is this love all about? How commercial can even love become.. its dusgusts me to even think of it.. it makes it all sound shallow and cheap...aargghhh.. brands and channels and basically the entire marketing community can Stoop down to any level to sell themselves.. without having any kind of public interest in their mind.. Well like they say "It's business we're talking about and profits is all that the language of business understands".. Sad :-(
