Recently I came across news in times of india about a 16 year old boy who mugged his own home and stole jewellery worth 2 lacs for valentine gift for his gf.Srihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14624663508492088632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-92116077614524983042007-02-13T20:16:00.000-05:002007-02-13T20:16:00.000-05:00Nice write up sandeepa...yeap you are right..too commericialised v-day now a days.We actually stopped giving each other expensive after our first anniversary.Another reason for this is first four monthes of the year is full of bdays,v-day,pongal and anniversary..so S didn't want to make a tradition where he has to empty his pocket :D.Instead, he buys me plants or some new kitchen gadget or utensils or something we need for lil' one.In a return favour, i cook some nice non veg for him..:D.We both think this is healthy and economical.V-day celebration in pre school..that's UNBELIEVABLE...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Abt gooseberries, never tried before..will go search for it here in local stores now.Maheswarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558438082041774567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-15882281842507874962007-02-13T15:04:00.000-05:002007-02-13T15:04:00.000-05:00Nice write-up and I too am part of the No-Vday club. Back in college, we roomies used to buy small gifts for each-other, just cos we had no BFs to buy things for us:) I have certainly gotten more sensible after marriage. After all, we need to run the house efficiently. Rather than spending/letting hubby spend the money on roses, I could get something useful for my daughter....diapers!!!Hemahttp://vegconcoctions.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-35125504517238792112007-02-13T13:48:00.000-05:002007-02-13T13:48:00.000-05:00Sandeepa,<BR/>Loved reading your post gal as always and your are so right. We hardly heard about Valentines day when I was in school. Now every month has some days like mother's day, father's day, friendship day, valentines day etc etc. Everything is just commersialised. Myself and my hubby believe in every day being a special day for the two of us and make every coming day a memorable one for us.<BR/>Love ya gal.<BR/>SeemaSeemahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09137570316951599838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-66167814550798675662007-02-13T13:18:00.000-05:002007-02-13T13:18:00.000-05:00I'm not sure about the fruit, read ur v-day write up.Really good one.

But it's ok, tumi ekhono mone rekhecho :)<BR/><BR/>Linda<BR/>The problem is not that it's history, it's now more of a "Hallmark Event", it's a marketing gimmick<BR/><BR/>Jaya<BR/>I knew someone would come up with this :) I do agree to a point that but the other festivals like Durga Pujo or Diwali are so much connected to my tradition that I feel one with them. I love all that shopping, eating, splurging, etc. that goes with them. They bring a warmth and joy because they are deep rooted in my culture and tradition<BR/>Same for ThanksGiving, it's a very traditional thing for the Americans.<BR/><BR/>But for ME V Day is not close to my heart as it is not so much of MY tradition. I am not saying it should be same for everyone. If anyone has grown up with it, always celebrated this day as a special day that's fine.Sandeepahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-1575457666189379302007-02-13T02:28:00.000-05:002007-02-13T02:28:00.000-05:00Dear Sandeepa,<BR/>Taypari we love it ,I will blog a recipe for it soon, <BR/>and for the emotions you have for V-day , I agree to some extent that its very much commercialised ,but then our own festivals are also ...why we need to get new clothes on durga Pooja ,it can be any days ..isn't it ..Kinto tumaar lekha khob hi impressive ..<BR/>we need an excuse to celebrate , and I dont mind It either ..<BR/>Hugs and Smiles<BR/>jayaJayahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15474786799687276472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-45865263144312650972007-02-13T00:53:00.000-05:002007-02-13T00:53:00.000-05:00Hi Sandeepa -- regarding the fruit -- I have seen them called ground cherries as well -- some info and pics about it <A HREF="http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/ground_cherry.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A>. have never tasted that but looks similar to tomatillo or husk tomato, which is green. <BR/><BR/>Regarding Valentine's Day -- at least it has a history, unlike so many of the drummed up holidays -- secretary's day, boss' day (I should be spending my salary to buy the boss a gift!??), even grandmother's grandfather's etc... it all gets a bit ridiculous. Small acts of love and kindness on a daily basis are worth alot more, in my book :)Lindahttp://outofthegarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-89446510979009657532007-02-12T22:12:00.000-05:002007-02-12T22:12:00.000-05:00Sandeepa - ami abar magaziner article ta ke dekhlam. tumi kothai dekhecho tomar naam ta sundeepa lekha ache?

I agree with you about Valentine's Day--it can be very forced now. I loved it as a kid, making cards for everyone. I have told my husband not to waste money on candy for me this year!
