Welcome to yet another week of GD Monday! To View and Comment on previous weeks' topics, please click here. On one hand, it seems sweet to have a day dedicated to lovers all around the world, on the other hand, it seems stupid to wait for an entire year to make someone feel special. With a hike in prices for flowers, gifts and movies on Valentine's day and an added pressure to have a date to make yourself seem cool, Valentine's Day may have just become another marketing gimmick. Would you rather make your someone special feel loved on just one day by bringing them flowers or just do it on any other day just because? Would you want to be a part of the marketing gimmick or be free of that? Tell us your views on the comments below and get evaluated for the same. Please bear in mind that there is no right or wrong answer for it. That’s an opinion. However, the reasons for that opinion may be right or wrong.  And that’s what is important – the process of reaching the conclusion rather than the conclusion itself. This is how it'll work: 1) Users can post their arguments in the comments section below by logging in through their www.insideiim.com User id. 2) You can argue and counter-argue on the topic for the entire week. You can even challenge your friends and make it more interesting! 3) The thread will be moderated by Team InsideIIM to ensure the discussion is kept relevant and is not abusive. 4) On Saturday, experts and industry professionals at InsideIIM (all ex-IIM, XLRI, MICA only) will rate each argument on the thread on the scale of 10 with some guidance. This cannot replace the experience of the actual GD but this exercise will surely help you shape your line of thought. While we may not be able to help you here with your delivery, we ensure that if you go through these next few weeks with us on this thread you will markedly improve your content. Hopefully, there will be more substance when you actually speak in a GD after going through this exercise.
