With February fast approaching, so comes the prospect of celebrating Valentine's Day. On this day filled with love, people celebrate by expressing their sentiments to their loved ones or making their spouses feel special.?
The holiday is traditionally associated with the exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines," as well as giving gifts like chocolates and flowers to one's loved one.
However, what was once an adult concept has now crossed the age barrier as teenagers celebrate Valentine's Day for their crushes, dates, and so on. Although, not every school or institution encourages love-sharing between couples, instead referring to them as a "method of diversion" during a time when children are learning and gaining knowledge. But Aakash Institute allegedly topped the old school of thought.
In a viral tweet that showed a formal notice allegedly issued by Aakash Institute, students were asked to find a date before 14 February for a 'Valentine's Day Party' in the name of 'overall development.'?
The notice is now going viral, check out what the notice says here.?

The message was neither dated nor signed. However, a news agency contacted Aakash Institute's New Delhi branch to confirm the accuracy of the remark, and they were unaware of any such warning in existence.?
