Real valentine day
In spite of what you have been told by everyone, the truth is that
Valentine's Day originated hundreds of years ago, in India, and to top it
all, in the state of Gujarat !!!
It is a well known fact that Gujarati men, specially the Patels, continually
mistreat and disrespect their wives (Patelianis). One fine day, it happened
to be the 14th day of February, one brave Patelani, having had enough
"torture" by her husband, finally chose to rebel by beating him up
with a
Velan (rolling pin to make chapattis).
Yes....the same Velan which she used daily, to make chapattis for him....
only this time, instead of the dough, it was the husband who was flattened.
This was a momentous occasion for all Gujarati women and a revolt soon
spread, like wild fire, with thousands of housewives beating up their
husbands with the Velan. There was an outburst of moaning
"chapatti-ed"
husbands all over Anand and Amdavad.
The Patel men-folk quickly learnt their lesson and started to behave more
respectfully with their Patelanis.
Thereafter, on 14th February every year, the womenfolk of Gujarat would beat
up their husbands, to commemorate that eventful day - the wives having the
satisfaction of beating up their husbands with the Velan and the men having
the supreme joy of submitting to the will of the women they loved.
Soon The Gujju men realized that in order to avoid this ordeal they need to
present gifts to their wives....they brought flowers and sweets. This is how
the tradition - Velan time - began.
As Gujarat fell under the influence of Western culture, the ritual soon
spread to Britain and many other Western countries, specifically,the catch
words 'Velan time' !!! In course of time, their foreign tongues, this
got
anglicized to 'Velantime' and then to 'Valentine'. And
thereafter, 14th of
February, came to be known as Valentine's Day and now you know the true
story of Valentine's day.

But, must have been some genius minds at work though.
