Gen X paints town red

With flower sellers lining up at every nook and corner of the twin cities, bouquets of fresh flowers were seen flying off the shelves as they day wore on. And boy! Did the youngsters have a ball - hanging out at coffee shops, malls, theatres and restaurants, not to mention Tank Bund and the Necklace road.

Most business shops were decorated with stuffed toys and flowers while those selling greeting cards and gifts made a killing as people of all ages bought them. “The day is a reason to party with friends and loved ones. All our friends got together and went out for a lunch,” said Taran Singh, an engineering student.

Candlelight dinners, sparkling wine and a live band added to the romantic ambience in most of the star restaurants in the evening. All the pubs and discs had Valentine’s Day theme party with DJs spinning groovy romantic numbers.

“The day is not only for couples but also for families. Every year we have a famil! y dinner at home, followed by a long drive and ensure that we have a blast,” said Rachana Kaur, a lawyer. Anticipating protests from Left parties and the ‘moral brigade’ in general, policemen were stationed at several locations like the Tank Bund, Lumbini Park and a few malls.
