Chinese Valentines Day



Baba's thought for today.
'Do not contemplate on Death;
it is just an incident in life;
contemplate on God, who is the Master of all life."

While window shopping in Shin Kong Place yesterday, I was curious when I saw a furious frenzy by Chinese men to buy flowers. The florists and her assisstants could hardly cope with the orders!! It was about three in the afternoon. Later Lena informed me that she too was surprised that on her way to work in the morning, people were peddaling flowers at traffic junctions. The explanation was that it was Valentines day for the Chinese!! It is truly amazing how fast China has opened up and how the people are also following some social practices of the other cultures. We are now a borderless world!
