14th February 2007 :: The romantic fool

Today is one of those days when almost every company is trying to make money out of your emotions. For the past few days the newspapers are full of ads of suggested gifts for Valentine's Day right from holiday packages and gold jewelry to restaurants. Just think if there were not so much of hype around these festivals created by these companies, would people still be buying so many gifts? If not would they really be missing out on the spirit of these festivals?
