In this month of love I asked Red Handed to help me out with a post sprinkled with the splashes of love from her perspective. She said okay. I said good. She poured some neat ideas, I blend them with dirt. And before we could claim the superiority we co-authored a blog post. Tada!
Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and I am all excited
about it. Perhaps, Valentine’s Day serves me much more than Diwali. We all know
the fabricated custom of this day. Sending SMSes to only girls. Oozing your
tender feelings for her; of course on SMS or sometimes on GTalk. Fixing a plan
to meet for face-to-face confession with some chocolates and flowers. This is
Valentine’s Day in Indian sphere unlike western. Things have gone social.
Couples spamming your News Feed on Facebook, Timeline on Twitter, Scrapbook on
Orkut and Nothing on LinkedIn with their heart melting I Love You Jaanu posts beautifully carved with and tones of
emoticons “<3”; being prominent. If you do NOT use “<3” at the end of every wall post you write on your partner's wall on Facebook, you are not in
love. Period. End of discussion. I personally relish such posts, much because I love to barge
in with irksome comments and leave with a sense of doubt. The best thing about today's socially advanced custom you are considered a couple only when your Facebook status is updated from being single to in a relationship.
A lot of people talk about what to do after you are in a
relationship but never cared to mull what preparations are prerequisite for it. How would you feel if the moment of desperation ends up blowing in your face? You propose her with some
perfectly rehearsed lines; a convincing brief of your inclination for her and all
you get at the end is a tossed heart straight into the dustbin which reads “use me”. This
is a scenario of unprepared Ranjha. Heer would
never suffer such loss of determination because she would never approach her wanted-to-be Ranjha; moral girl code
strictly prohibits them for certain acts; Sistah Code (Sly copy of Bro Code).
