The unnecessary Day

But is this day a marketic strategy? Now if you look at this day, some 20-25years ago, there was no valentines attached to it. Some 10-15 yrs ago we got introduced to it. Some got benefited from this. Mainly the sales of flowers, cards and chocos climbed on this particular day as years surged ahead.
This days will make sense in countries where there are restrictions in marraige and relationships. This situation doesnot prevail in India. For us, we are living in a democratic country and robust economy.Spending hefty amount during this day to please your lover/mate is ridiculous.If its a true love, why should we give away all the love in cash in a single day.
Do we need a similar day to wish Bday and other occasions.
