The Grand Finale Valentine’s Day Will Mark The Culmination Of The Week-long Celebration
The finale, February 14 is the day that finally wraps up the week. Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love, commitment, and passion. Notably, Valentine’s Day originally was meant to signify love for a significant other – whether spouse, partner, friend, family member, teacher, or even pet. Especially in India, it has come to revolve almost exclusively around romantic love between individuals. Many brands in the chocolates, jewellery, and soft toys industries tend to earmark big budgets for Valentine’s Day each year.
