When I was in my first job, I first heard about Valentine's Day. One of our trainers, Anurag sir (from India), told us that you can say 'Happy Valentine's Day' to anyone, such as friends, parents, siblings, or colleagues. It's not only for the lovebirds. He and the other two trainers (Ashutosh and Mathew sir, India) also sent all of us a Happy Valentine's Day card.
The culture started in our office. I used to send all of them electronic greeting cards on birthdays, Valentine's Day, Eid day, and so on. Later, we moved to different countries and jobs, but we always had some bonding with each other. One day, as usual, I sent a Valentine's Day card to everyone.
One of my friends from the UK asked, "Do you have anything on your mind, because you sent me a Valentine's Day e-card?" I'm surprised. What happened? I told him I sent this to everybody; I thought it was some kind of connection that was bonding all of the colleagues together, as always. After that, I stopped sending any e-cards to anybody. I don't want any misunderstandings.
