The world is getting ready to celebrate valentine day on a grand scale. But in India it is going to be a different valentines day. Valentine day spread from France to all over the world.Its a special day for all people irrespective of age to exchange their love and affection with one another. In India Valentines Day is meant to be celebrated only by lovers and guys and girls who fall in love take this day to express their love for one another. Youngsters take this opportunity in India in the name of lover’s day and some misuse it. Almost general public don’t like because these lovers don’t respect the customs and the culture of India. Chennai is one of the biggest cities in India and the chief of the police force as given guidelines how to celebrate this day in the city. Hugging and kissing in public places has been prohibited and if any couple found misbehaving in the public places they will be taken to court on 14th Feb force have been informed to move in plain clothes in crowded places such as beach, parks, bus terminal, railway station and all places where public gather. The police chief advice is that the lovers can exchange wishes, gifts and play and chat pertaining to their future plans. I would like to know as to how this Valentines Day is celebrated in other countries. Please share your views and suggestions to celebrate this day with joy and fun.

I saw a photo of a foriegner's face being blackened by hooligans on valentine's day and it was disgusting. People spreading hatred on the day we re supposed to spread love. Plus what was disturbing was that it may not be a fesival celebrated by Indian but she had full right to celebrate it with her boyfriend and when foriegners ban turbans we cry out for our rights. We are big time hypocrites actually.

In my country valentines day is celebrated just for a few people. Cause the essence of the day is love each other, and most of our people do this every day. Many celebration day effect to our love, our humanity. So I hope it's not only for a day, every day we can love each other to make the better place for us and future generation
