No love jingles, but singles make most of it

CHANDIGARH: For most of those who never cared to have a special person, the Valentine’s Day on Saturday was nonetheless a memorable day. The definition of the V-Day seems to have drastically changed from a ‘‘lover’s day’’ to love day.’’
Girls could be seen moving in groups to celebrate the day. The aim may be trying to locate someone special among the crowds, but then it was not necessary.A group of girls roaming at sector 17 echoed, ‘‘We have just seen the movie Munnabhai MBBS and then would head for a good lunch and after that may be for a geri. V-Day for us is not about talking about those mushy love affairs but just being ourselves and trying to make the most of the day by enjoying,’’ said Tania Kapoor, a BA II student.
But for bachelor boys, with no special person as yet in their lives, it was the time of constant staring and gazing. For the idea was to find someone without overdoing the chasing business.
‘‘Perhaps V-Day is one day where staring at pretty faces becomes acceptable and just loitering around seems to be in vogue. I like the day for its spirit and enthusiasm, though I still dont have that special girl in my life,’’ said Varun Gupta, a resident of Panchkula.
