We Indians have a way of doing things differently. We love indulgence and controversy regardless of where they take us. And we love both to death.

So, V, we find, is not just for Valentine's. There's a lot more V for us Indians. Let's explore the many ways!

V for Vendetta
So it may eventually be. Just some time ago, we heard item number-turned-television starlet Rakhee Sawant announcing she wouldn't be doing anything special on V-Day this year. So we thought.

Mind you, this wasn’t tucked away in a Cupid’s Corner column. This made it to our city tabloids and channels. A belligerent Rakhee threw her boyfriend out of her house just before Valentine’s Day, the headlines said. Like they say, your audience is the reason for your success!

V for Voyeur
On the eve of Valentine’s Day, the customer care team of our comparison shopping portal received what they have termed the most unusual demand ever made by a user. The customer, male (the sound of his name spelt aloud leaves no room for doubt!), and decidedly desperate, placed a request for a surveillance camera.

He stated no reason. There were no questions on size, dimensions or even price, as is usually the case.

We don’t know whether he is a father, a boyfriend or a husband. But we are getting ideas now. Indians like to celebrate in their own ishtyle!
