By Kirti Rawat On February 8, the animal welfare board in a statement appealed to people to celebrate Valentine’s day as Cow Hug Day. The board said that hugging cows will bring emotional richness and collective happiness to human life. The appeal was, however, later withdrawn by the board on Feb 10. We went out on the streets of Delhi to find out if the people are on board with this idea.

If you’ve used dating apps in Japan, you might be familiar with a few frequent scenarios after making a connection. Messages slowly go from quick replies to just “read.” Or you open the app and find you’ve been unmatched without much reason.

February 14 is usually celebrated as Valentine's Day across the world. However, each year, several religious and right-leaning groups criticise the celebration and denounce it as a 'western concept' that does not fall in line with Indian values. Copies of the Animal Welfare Board regarding 'Cow Hug Day' were shared widely on social ...

In Japan, Valentine’s Day is all about women giving chocolates to men in their lives—boyfriends, family members, schoolmates and work colleagues. But with coronavirus cases on the rise (again) and companies switching to remote work, workplace Valentine’s Day took a different turn. The tweet below is a joke about how Valentine’s Day took a hit this year. Still, some people noticed a lot more men in the office than usual. Women apparently aren’t interested in gifting chocolate to coworkers when remote work is an option. Were you expecting chocolates?なんか今日、出社してる男性陣いつもより多くてワロタww そして女性陣、全員在宅勤務で更にワロ...
