Celebrating Valentine's Day is against our culture and may provoke employees to harass the girls. This could lead to either affairs or fights, and then you would have to handle both situations. If it's an affair, others will witness the public display of affection, and if it's a fight, you could be held responsible for encouraging sexual harassment. If certain groups like SS or VHP find out, your organization could be damaged.
Please note that Valentine's Day is meant for lovers to celebrate, and you should consider whether your organization has an equal number of couples. It is not like Christmas or Diwali. If everyone starts saying "I LOVE YOU" to the hottest girl, you will encounter problems.
As an HR professional, such thoughts should not even enter your mind. These thoughts do not align with maintaining office decorum. Please educate yourself on how to conduct yourself appropriately in the office.

Ravi,
It seems you are not clear with the concept of Valentine's... it doesn't have to necessarily be celebrated only amongst lovers. India has come far now, and people enjoy Valentine's as a festival. We, as HR professionals, should take advantage of each festival and celebrate in order to add a spark to everyone's busy and monotonous schedule. It would contribute to a "Fun at Work" culture. I don't think it's a bad idea. Anyways, thanks for your input.

Hi Chanda,
We have a few activities lined up for Valentine's Day.
1) Every employee will decorate his/her own workstation.
2) We are even open for the spouses to come over and surprise the employees working with us, and we've had many spouses who have agreed to come forward and do their bit. In one of the cases, the wife of one of the senior managers has agreed to come over and decorate his workstation one evening in advance in his absence to surprise him.
3) All the department heads will be distributing chocolates to the ladies working in their departments.
4) The dress code would be red for the day.
5) A lot of games like dance on the paper, karaoke, antakshari, bake the cake, and many others are planned for the day.
Hope this will be of some help to you, Chanda.

In my opinion, Ravi is fine, and Sablok is also fine. Chanda's point is also absolutely correct. So, let's do this. Chanda, you celebrate, and Ravi, you participate in Shree Ram Sena or Shiv Sena, and then be sure to share your experience. Take it easy and enjoy!

Hi all,
How are you planning to celebrate Valentine's in your respective organizations? For me, it's very difficult to decide as in my office, most of the people are middle-aged now. I am in a fix if I'll plan something how they'll react. Can anyone suggest something?

Dear Chanda,
You can keep the dress code red for girls and white for the guys. Try to contact an NGO that sells gift items made by handicapped people. Make them available in the cafeteria during lunch timings.

Hello, guys!
I'm in a university setting. During Valentine's Day, here is what we usually do:
1. Students set up booths for roses and chocolates for sale, with free delivery around the campus.
2. Other groups prepare love songs; individuals or offices could request a serenade for another office or a particular employee.
3. We also ask some single male employees to give roses to single female employees.
4. There is a raffle draw for a free Valentine's dinner date, open to both couple employees and single employees (one male and one female).
I don't know if these activities are acceptable in your working environment, just sharing some ideas. Hope it helps.

2. "I've got five points and twinkle in the sky. Cut me out of tinfoil and put me up high."
3. "Although my name rhymes with stupid, I'm as cute as can be. Cut my shape out of paper and hang me on the tree."
Valentine's Day Word Games
This is a word game where famous pairs come together.
How to play:
Divide the children into 2 teams and form two rows facing each other. The first player on one side begins by asking the first player on the other team to complete this famous couple:
"Romeo and ...." the opposing player says "Juliet."
Continue down the row of players, and then the other team starts.... "peanut butter and ...."
"jelly"
"Cookies and ...." - milk
"Ram and ...." Sita
"Cinderella and ...." - Prince Charming
"Heer and ...." - Ranjah
And so on.
Variation:
This game can also be played using hearts that have been cut into two-piece puzzles. Children can be asked to match the hearts.
Love Story
How to play:
Give each player a piece of paper and a pencil.
Explain that they are working as a team to write a Love Story section by section.
Each player writes a portion of the story as per your instructions.
After each instruction, the papers are folded and passed to the next writer.
When the instructions are completed, each player/writer will have a story in their hands.
Take turns unfolding the papers and reading the stories.
Suggested writing instructions:
Girl Character's name -> pass
Description of Girl -> pass
Boy character's name -> pass
Description of him -> pass
How the boy and girl meet -> pass
First words the boy said to the girl -> pass
How she replied -> pass
What happened next -> pass
What did their friends say/do? -> pass
Other options for plot turns:
What did the neighbors say?
What happened on their first date?
Where did they get married? Kids? Pets? Adventures?
What did the newspaper print about them?
Use famous people and places.
Valentine Charades
How to play:
Before the party, write some appropriate phrases, book titles, song titles, and famous love stories (movies).
Place the slips of paper into an empty heart box.
Divide the players into teams and have them play facing each other.
Each player will draw a slip of paper from the heart box and, in turn, act out their song, book, title, etc., for their respective team.
Clues and Hints to remember:
- NO talking!
- Open hands represent a book
- Cranking motion represents a movie
- Waving hand before an open mouth represents a Song
- Tugging on your ear represents "sounds like"
- Holding up one finger means 1st word, etc.
- Touching your nose indicates the correct answer.
Throwing the Smile
In this game, players are forbidden to smile, but trust us—giggling and laughing will abound.
Things Needed:
- A place where everyone can sit in a circle
How to play:
Players sit in a circle, ensuring they can see everyone else. One player starts the game by smiling widely, while all the other players remain somber.
This player then uses their hand to wipe the smile off their face and "throw" it to another player who must catch the smile with their hand and put it on.
This new player then wipes off the smile to throw to someone else—though they will likely choose to make faces at everyone before relinquishing their happy role.
Meanwhile, all other players must remain stone-faced. One smirk, and they're out.
Tips:
The youngest players are the least successful at winning this game (as they can't stop themselves from laughing), but they also tend to enjoy it the most.
Gigglebelly
Just the name of this game cracks kids up; playing it only intensifies their joy.
How to play:
Have one player lie down on their back.
The next player lies down with their head resting on the first player's belly, and the next player lies down with their head on the second player's belly.
Arrange all the players until everyone is zigzagged around the lawn or floor, each with their head on someone else's belly (if possible, make the line into a loop so that the last player can put their head on the first player's belly).
Then, the first player shouts, loud and clear, "Ha!"
The second player responds with a vigorous, "Ha, ha!" then the third player chimes in, "Ha, ha, ha!"
Continue until all players have shouted out their "Ha's" or have dissolved into uncontrollable laughter, with heads bouncing on the bellies of giggling friends, uncles, cousins, or grandmothers.

Arrange all the players until everyone is zigzagged around the lawn or floor, each with his or her head on someone else's belly (if possible, make the line into a loop so that the last player can put her head on the first player's belly).
Then, the first player shouts, loud and clear, "Ha!"
The second player responds with a vigorous, "Ha, ha!" then the third player chimes in, "Ha, ha, ha!"
Continue until all players have shouted out their "Ha's" or (more likely) have dissolved into uncontrollable laughter, with heads bouncing on the bellies of giggling friends, uncles, cousins, or grandmothers.

Hmm... interesting. Well, well, well, I have just started working, and it's my first job. I have noticed all the girls around me wearing short skirts. With Valentine's Day approaching, what could be more romantic? In any organization, I think people can wear red, carry roses, and it will be really fun.
