Valentines Day..... Wanting to be lost again." invariably rests with the man. in a society that still frowns on romance? One of the more subtle means the Indian male adopts is to introduce his beloved to his family. This is done without his actually expressing his feelings to the lady he is keen on. Do you wonder why? Most Indian males are chauvinists and consider the act of declaring love as a sign of weakness. No going down on the knees, thank you! The lady's assent is taken for granted. Hence my self take pleasure to saying THANK YOU to all females on behalf of all males. in which he makes his intentions clear. He introduces his loved one to his friends, who obviously get the hint and thus, it becomes public knowledge. Either this or he could use the services of a close mutual friend to drop a hint about his feelings to his ladylove. Pathetic, or rather sweet? special Indian way of declaring love is to take the person of his fancy to a religious place. When one is tongue-tied, what better way to declare one's good intentions, than to seek the blessings of the Almighty! too; again, it's uniquely Indian. Haven't you read about the innumerable cases of frustrated or rejected lovers, who, unable to accept a 'no', throw acid on the beloved's face, thereby denying her the possibility of finding love with another? That's love too, in a selfish and twisted form. of the inherent conservatism among Indians – watching a romance on screen, we lived what we were unable to achieve in our real lives. And often, the movies even provided inspiration! A strand of jasmine, hesitantly offered by the hero to his heroine was a silent but effective ploy to state his heart's desire. If she accepted, it was a small step forward. But if she allowed him to tuck it into her long braid… need one say more? Time for a song break, folks! especially in urban India, where more open ways of courtship, between both the sexes, are increasingly the norm. Technology has ushered in novel ways to declare one's love.
"Within you,
The onus of making a declaration
Here's another clever way
Another
There's a dark side to this love,
Popular cinema took full advantage
All this is changing very rapidly,
