Dear friends Did you know
Valentines originates from Gujaratis.
When the Gujarati men upset their wives,
the women beat their husbands up with a velan
( rolling pin used for making roti/ chapati)
This happened so often the practice came to be known as velan time. (beating time).
To escape the beatings the hubbies gave flowers, sweets and gifts.
After many years and language translations, it is now called as valentines around the world!
