IF you somehow missed the advertisements and promotions – maybe the satellite link to your cave in Afghanistan has been down these past few weeks – it’s Valentine’s Day today. And if you have disappointed a loved one who had expected a romantic gesture, blaming technology won’t save you either.
It’s amazing that this celebration of love started as a day to honour a Christian martyr named Valentine. There were more than one St Valentine, and the experts can’t agree on which one is linked to the Feb 14 commemoration. The history is hazy, but, hey, so is love at times.
