اچو ته ويلنٽائن ڊي جي باري ۾ وساريو

Whether we like it or not, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. While some are looking forward to a marriage proposal and a diamond ring to boot, others (a small but active minority) propose to cancel all this turmoil. Well, if not canceled, then at least set age limits: we will allow this holiday to be celebrated until the fourth grade — at this age, children give «valentines» to everyone who sits in the neighborhood. Well, if you really want to, you can return to the holiday after sixty.

پر ٻين سڀني بابت ڇا؟ اسان هن کان سواءِ ٺيڪ ڪنداسين.

ڪوچ ۽ تاريخن جو ماهر Jay Cataldo ياد ڪري ٿو: ”ويلنٽائن ڏيڻ هڪ ٻار وانگر مزو هو. پر ڪيترن سالن کان، مون کي هن موڪل سان پيار کان ٻاهر ٿي ويو. منهنجي خيال ۾، هو صرف رشتي ۾ مسئلا پيدا ڪري ٿو، انهن کي مضبوط ڪرڻ بدران. هن ڏينهن تي جوڙو اڻپوري اميدن جي ڪري جهڳڙو ڪندا آهن. ان کان علاوه، اهو ڏينهن لڳي ٿو ته هو باقي 364 ڏينهن ۾ رومانس جي گهٽتائي جو جواز پيش ڪري ٿو. ۽ جيڪڏهن توهان وٽ ڪو به نه آهي، ته پوءِ ساٿين ڏانهن موڪليل جوڑوں ۽ گلن کي ڏسي پريشان آهي. موڪل جو ڏينهن وينٽي فيئر ۾ بدلجي وڃي ٿو.

ريڊيو ميزبان ڊين اوبيدالا اتفاق ڪيو: ”مون کي دٻاءُ پسند ناهي. دڪانن ۾ تجارتي ۽ پروموشنز متاثر ڪن ٿا: جيڪڏهن توهان هن ۾ حصو نه وٺندا آهيو، ته پوء توهان رومانوي نه آهيو ۽ توهان جي اڌ جي پرواهه نه ڪريو. اهو بهتر آهي ته هن موڪلن جي روايتن کي تبديل ڪرڻ. جن وٽ ٻه جوڙا آھن تن کي اڪيلائيءَ وارن کي تحفا ڏيڻ ڏيو ته جيئن اھي ھن ڏينھن ضرورت کان وڌيڪ محسوس نه ڪن.

For the owner of the restaurant, Zena Pauline, this holiday is doubly unpleasant: not only is she not married, but also the restaurant’s visitors on this day especially often find fault with the service. “It’s February outside, it’s cold outside, you don’t have a couple, you’re not in the best shape. You have been unsuccessfully trying to change something for several months. And all this is accompanied by a «parade» of happy couples. Valentine’s Day only humiliates single people.»

Three years ago, as a protest, Pauline introduced a special «No» menu to Valentine’s Day.» It includes such items as, for example, the “Unfortunate Betty” cocktail and the hot “Without a pair of your own free will”.

Rutgers University Sociologist Deborah Carr، جيڪو صنفي لاڳاپن جو مطالعو ڪري ٿو، دشمني جو سبب بيان ڪري ٿو: ”عيد ماڻهن کي اهو سوچڻ تي مجبور ڪري ٿي ته انهن جي زندگي رومانويت جي گهربل سطح تي نه پهچي. جيتوڻيڪ اهي جن وٽ هڪ جوڙو آهي شايد مايوس ٿي سگهن ٿا جيڪڏهن انهن کي مبارڪون نه ڏنيون وڃن جيئن اهي چاهيندا هئا. اڪثر ماڻهن لاء، اهو صرف هڪ مسئلو آهي. اهو صرف رستوران ۽ پوسٽ ڪارڊ ٺاهيندڙن کي فائدو ڏئي ٿو.

هن جي راء ۾، سماجي نيٽ ورڪن جي وڌندڙ مقبوليت جي ڪري تازو سالن ۾ شيون صرف خراب ٿي چڪا آهن. هاڻي هرڪو متاثر ڪرڻ جي ڪوشش ڪري رهيو آهي. ڪو به ماڻهو پوسٽ نه ڪندو خراب تصوير يا خراب تحفو ڪنڊ جي چوڌاري دڪان تان.

It was the news feed on Facebook (an extremist organization banned in Russia) that overwhelmed the patience of graphic designer Scott Manning. A few years ago, he was trying to recover from a breakup with a girl, and then the holiday came. The entire tape was full of bouquets and public declarations of love.

As a joke, Manning registered the page and named it «Petition to Cancel Valentine’s Day». People leave there biting messages and ironic pictures on the theme of the holiday. The author receives mixed reviews. Some want to organize a real rally on the street. Others are furious that Manning encroached on such a wonderful holiday. In fact, Manning cares little about the comments. His page consoles and entertains someone, and this is the main thing.

However, he ran into another problem. He met a girl and accidentally made one of his first dates on Valentine’s Day. Realizing this, Manning panicked. But then they discussed everything and decided that a date that day was too difficult a test for a nascent relationship. So Manning canceled it and decided to spend the day in a more appropriate way: «I’ll stay at home and watch horror movies.»
