 What love means to me
Lust, when yielded to with good grace, is love, said a man of the world in one of his more revealing moments.
History of Valentine’s Day
There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity.
Myriad expressions of the heart
Valentine’s Day, a ‘gift’ of the Western world has become a part of the life of the youth in the city, more specifically in the past over a decade.
Valentine bug bites elders too
VALENTINE’S Day. The celebrations might bring to mind the picture of an eclectic crowd of youngsters partying and painting the town red. Now, youngsters, it is time to move over and make way for a change as the “infection” catches on with the not-so-young and the old of the city.

Go in for direct-from-the-heart gifts
| You are enjoying a perfect present with your guy. Together, you go out for action movies and share mushroom onion pizzas, along with memories, in fast food joints. That is why, you want Valentine’s gift to be simply “aah-inspiring”. But things are not that simple. He is hard-to-please and you have limited resources. No wonder, you have been going from one gift shop to another looking for got-to-have-it gifts that are not too expensive.

Marriage?
No way, say young lovers
Aditi Gupta (19) and Vikrant Sharma (21) have been going around for the past two years. They met at a party thrown by a common friend, and were drawn to each other.
Corporate sector cashes in on Valentine spirit
VALENTINE’S Day, which was unknown to the educated urban middle class till the late 90s, has come a long way during the past few years. Release of musical albums, movies and other products on this occasion has created such a hype that even housewives of retired bureaucrats are asking their husbands: “Where is my Valentine Day gift.”
When India is ‘shinning’ and the corporate sector is talking of the ‘feel-good factor’, it is right time for the corporate sector to encourage the youth to pass on costly gifts like diamond rings, necklaces, sleek mobile handsets, branded dresses, imported perfumes and gift vouchers to their ‘beloved’ ones.
Jewellery has caught the fancy of women this Valentine’s season.
