Call it cynical or witty, but Valentine's Day is not just restricted to lovers now. This year, even singles in the city and jilted exes are ready to embrace the day by expressing their love for a close family member or friends. Some of them are also celebrating it as a day of freedom from complicated relationships and plan to go out and have a blast instead of cribbing about their singledom.
Abhishek Pant, a media professional informs that he is throwing a singles party at his apartment instead of complaining about his recent break-up.
He says, "I have invited my friends to my place after work to celebrate V-Day. It's a `singles only' party where people can bring their single friends to meet new people. We are celebrating it is a day of independence and hope to have fun sharing stories about weird exes."
Nidhi Trivedi, an HR profes sional also feels the hoopla of VDay raises too many expectations and if you are single people try to show sympathy, which is why she has planned a fun night with her girl gang after work.
She says, "I'll be going out with my friends to watch a movie and then we'll go for dinner and drinks. Since we are a gang of four we have decided to gift each other something so that no one feels alone and left out." and left out."
Though V-Day is a highly commercialised concept and everyone wants to make the most of it, there are some places in the city that are focusing on singles and plan ning to play cupid for lonely hearts. Rohan Gupta of Red Monkey restaurant says, "During the entire Valentine weekend, we have special pro motions on for singles in the city. There are singles parties that will be organised so that no one feels left out. On Valentine's Day, we are serving free Cosmopolitans to women so that they can come with their friends and enjoy."
Nickhil Seth, co owner of Babelon Lounge says, "We'll be having a singles party at our club as there are special offers for food ies. On Valentine's Day when most of the places will be full of couples, we want to be different and don't want to go overboard with the entire V-day celebrations."
So on this day of love when everyone wants to be seen in pairs, if you are single don't lose heart, plan something with loved ones and head out for a fun time.
Its more peer pressure..............

When it's February, nothing is cooler than pre tending you couldn't care less about Valentine's Day and would rather burn the cards, roses and anything red that reminds you of it. Well of course, you are in a happy relationship and you don't need some day to tell when to celebrate love. So, while you wait for things to materialise and your partner hammers at the keyboard at work, the same day of love turns into a bad case of romantic indiges tion. Something, which most real time couples face while in love in the times of commercialisation and over exposure.Newly engaged Rahul Yadav feels it’s more about peer pressure, where one is supposed to do better that what her friend’s partner did. “It all about what you give her, where you take her, whether the long planned short trip takes place on Valentine’s Day or not,” he says.
Something, which currently single Abhinav Dasgupta agrees with. “I used to hate Valentine’s Day when I was in a serious relationship earlier.
We always wanted it to be something special, but it never turned out to be. Anyway at work, your boss is not going to let you off early just because you want to take your partner out and at the same time, your partner too is entitled to ask ‘Could you not set one day, one measly day, aside just for me? Does your work mean more to you than I do?’ or things to that effect,” he jokes.But it doesn’t have to be this bad when all you intend is to make your partner feel special. Ruchi Kapoor, who has been successfully married for ten years now, says it’s the
small things that matter.“Understanding between partners is important and both need to be on the same page as to what they expect from the day. Besides, from a takeout meal, a freshly baked caked, saucy lingerie or a sweet movie, there could be million ways to express your love,” she says. Something we heard from specifically Anti VDay, Sharik Verma. “I would rather surprise her with a breakfast in bed in midOctober as I think that day is way too artificial and things could get awkward easily,” he tells us.
