Single this Valentine’s? Get yourself a Galentine

The Hindu  

Remember those sleepovers with your best friends, filled with laughter and late-night secret swapping? Galentine’s Day, which originated from the popular sitcom Parks and Recreation, has now transcended its fictional origins to become a genuine celebration of female friendship. “This year, we’re starting a Galentine’s Secret Santa,” reveals Julie Dcouto, an architect in the making from RVS Chennai Padmavathy School of Architecture. It’s a fun way to show our appreciation and make each other feel special.” From personalised trinkets to handwritten notes, these gifts are more than materialistic; they are expressions of love and support among friends. “We’re going to play Ludo, and binge-eat all day!” Whether it is a lavish bash or a quiet night in, Galentine’s Day is a reminder of the power of female friendships.
