There might be a bit of love lost after Indian authorities’ failed attempt to rebrand this year’s Valentine’s Day to ‘Cow Hug Day’… A government agency shared the idea last week, saying that rather than celebrating the Western holiday, “hugging cows will bring emotional richness and increase individual and collective happiness”. Despite cows being considered sacred by the Hindu population, many were udderly unimpressed… The idea was mocked for days by Indian media outlets before the idea was dropped, allowing people to focus on more conventional romantic plans. Back in Oz, restaurateurs have shared their tales about a different type of Valentine’s Day proposal… It sounds like Melbourne’s Grossi Florentino restaurant might be a good place to book in – it’s got a policy of Champagne for anyone who pops the question – regardless of the outcome.
