Valentine Day After

The best time to see V-Day for what it really is, is the day after. There is a clawing emptiness on the 15th of the second month of any year that talks volumes of love; a mark of how much we are slaves of this commercial expression of the most primitive emotion.

All the red heart-shaped balloons are deflated and the pinkness has faded to nothingness.

One day in a year to mark expression of love. 364 days of yearning. I, for one haven’t been the one to buy over-priced flowers on the day before or buy chocolate in wrapping that is heavier than the chocolate.

When expressed, love happens. When expressed on the 14th of the second month, it takes on a dimension of crassness. V-Day was reinvented by greeting card companies to make those out of love, feel worse. I mean it. Show me a card on an Archies or a Hallmark shelf that I can send to a person not in/out of love.

Gotcha!

Love is above celebration days. “Days” are for those that need to be reminded of love, or of things that they don't really care about. Don’t give partisan politics a chance to disrupt one special day in a year. Make every day special, a day of love. The saints didn’t spread their love just one day a year. Buy the roses on some other day - when you feel Valentinsh. Buy chocolates on a warm sweaty day in May.

Wishing you a happy 15th February!

The V – Day – A BIG opportunity for one and all !

It’ been interesting to note how we Indian’s celebrate this day ! I have been observing closely for a while. It seems like a great opportunity for every one.

Our Political parties use this opportunity to seek attention by opposing it since it’s a western culture and not ours or the latest I read this morning is how a particular political party in Maharashtra who is known for their hooliganism decided to use the day to seek attention in unique manner this year …They put up Kalpna Chawla’s pictures and asked people place a rose beneath it to pay homage. Not a bad thought , I really didn’t get the context of Kalpana Chawala and Valentines day though!

Then there the Prisoners of heart …Partners and spouses of the inmates of Arthur road jail dressed up for Valentines day this year for meeting with their lovers behind the bars. How sweet everyone has a right to love ...and express na.

How can we forget Bollywood …There were likes of Sanjay Gupta ( Well known Film Director) who threw a party for his 'Single' friends from Bollywood. Sure a great way to go... but it seemed an idea to run away from his loneliness blues on a valentine day . But surely must have given all the Singles a great chance to mingle. Cheers anyway !

Then we have the likes of ABHI – ASH for whom it was a PR opportunity as all media talked about how Abhishiek Bacchan took 2 days off from work to celebrate his 1st Valentines with his wife. What’s the BIG deal, eh ?

Our film makers use Valentines day too and make it as traditional and part of our Indian culture … remember Madhuri Dixit in Dil to Pagal hai saying "Aaj special Valentines day hai …pooran mashi wala ( auspicious full moon )!" HAIL Bollywood !

Well and our dear Media …they don’t seem to loose any opportunity be it creating special write ups on the subject educating people on how to celebrate the day, or running a contest with TV stars using Valentines day as an excuse ! Even our TV serials leave no stone unturned to force fit The V day in their scripts so they don’t get left out from the band wagon.

Last but not the least are the Lovers the ones whom this day is specially dedicated too. I guess in midst of all these opportunity seekers they too probably,make the best of what they can. Sadly some even get washed away into the ocean (refering the lastest mishap at Bandstand where a couple got washed away).
Just an after though ...there would be huge number of break ups during the Valentines week ..wont there? HERE Agony aunts yet another oppurtunity for your clan !! he he he

Hey what the hell …Opurtunity or not I just enjoy celebrating the day even if I don’t have a specific Valentine . Its a day I can pamper myself, celebrate with family or just friends.

Hume to bus kuch na kuch celebrate karne ka bahana chaiye !

Of Dew Drops and Old Wine on Valentines..


For someone who has been hitched for quite some time now, a Valentine's day celebration is rather predictable. But I am surrounded by dozens of lost souls , still in search of their better/bitter/ complementary/opposite/ human/ alien - halves.

I have been in love before and the cliche of the Valentine's day has been more of a burden than anything else. When The Recyclist asked me to come up with a Valentine-special, I was clueless at first.

It would be simple enough to recall some really romantic sweep-you-off-your-corn-ridden-feet gesture, which happened on Valentines day not too long ago, but that is not what I wish to recall now. Guess getting older makes you see things differently.

I don't want to look back at a love story from my life which never made it through. I would rather concentrate on the one that did make it through, and come 22nd February, will be a decade old. It doesn't sound terribly romantic and racy compared to some love stories that I have heard after mine, but like a beautiful painting or a delicious wine, it was beautiful when it was as fresh as a dew drop, and still is as beautiful a decade later. If anything, it has grown a lot more richer and confident in its existence and expression or the lack of it.

I am happy to have love in my life, something that i can wake up to everyday, not just on Valentine's day. I wish the same for everyone, especially today.

My advice to all those who are single, Seek it, for it really does exist.
My advice for those who are in love, Cherish it, for its life span can be as elusive as a dew drop.
My advice to those who have experienced all of the above, Stop bragging and get a room!!

The monk who sold his scooter to buy a diamond ring!

The monk so mentioned was a senior of mine during the college days. A decent guy, from a decent family, dreamed of decent living and was decently sure he would get it. Let’s call this guy P.

As mentioned earlier P was a nice guy, average in looks, ok with money and satisfactory in studies. Completely hassle free; he absolutely lived with no baggage. But then one day everything went horribly wrong, he fell in love, with a girl who was just opposite of him. She was beautiful, had flirtatious eyes, sharp smile and nice tongue. Let’s call her R.

P was completely flippo, R was not interested. P started following her, she stopped walking. P became desperate, she responded slightly. Then suddenly one day came the heavenly intervention that P was so desperately seeking. In a state of inebriated R’s dad decided to try his luck on the house maid, she ran outside yelling rape, P who was circling R’s house jumped in to his rescue and thus became the hero in R’s & her dad’s eye.

And thus began a love story that’s even more stupid than R’s dad’s chance pey dance adventure. From a decent guy P became the Baap of decency, I mean the guy stopped smoking, drinking, because R didn’t like it. What’s more, earlier he atleast once used to say a Ma ki or Bhen Ki, but now these words simply evaporated from his tongue. He only wanted R R R and her Pyaar pyaar pyaar. He was living in bliss; he used to get up with a smile, smile all the way to college and the sleep with a smile.

Then the big day arrived their first Valentine Day, by now they have been going around for 3 months and one day suddenly you have saint valentine knocking on your door. P needed money; he wanted to gift her diamond ring because diamonds are forever…ta ta da!

So P asked his mom; she said no, the he asked his dad, he gave him a thousand, but he needed 5000. He again became desperate, please please God, somebody anybody help me get the money. Suddenly he was stuck with this idea that only Romeo’s great grand son could have imagined. P used to drive around in an old Bajaj Chetak, which his dad had gifted him on the day he got admission to college. He decided to sell it, he would then make up a story that it was stolen and then whatever.

What an idea Sirji, this idea would have put even Abhishek Bacahhan in Idea commercial to shame.

Anyways, he succeeded in adventure and sold his two years old scooter for eight thousand rupees. Three thousand more, now he could even gift her big teddy….so swchheet!

He bought the ring and satin wrapped it and then gifted it.

R was elated, what the fuck a diamond ring, my love, my jaan, my khandaam. What a valentine gift. You are the one. But where did you get the money? damm it, who cares, a diamond ring, I love you.

P was pretty sure that he has died and was eating chocolate mousse cake with angels.

THE END


Today both P and R are happily married. P is married to A and R is married to D, all four are extremely happy, and as for the diamond ring it was pawned by D (R’s husband) to buy a second hand scooter

Dating - A tricky game !

Dating indeed can be fun and yet a tricky game. The 1st date specially is the one that can be a make or break kind of situation and no matter how many times you have dated different people the fact that each person has their own unique trait makes every 1st date a reason to be anxious about and need to be prepared for.

People plan from what they will wear, the perfect venue, to what should be the right conversation to impress, not to miss - the most appropriate jokes to crack so as to seem an interesting company etc etc…However each date can be interesting and full surprises. Dating experiences surely can enrich you as an individual …

Here’s some dating tips from my enriching or at times not so enriching experiences. But come on some wise one said " Normal is boring ! ". Please feel free to share your experiences and tips too…


Tip 1 :Choose a good venue -Like a good restaurant or a place which you love or a place which serves the most amazing food. If the date doesn’t turn out interesting atleast the food must compensate for it.

Tip 2 : Always have a back up plan
-Incase your date turns out really boring or weirder than u expected ensure u have a friend on stand by who on one sms from u can call you back and pretend to be the most important work that needs your immediate attention. Works for me always

Tip 3 : Timing is critical -Materialistic as it may sound ( this one specially for the women) never date a man at the end of the month or a much younger man just taken up a new job or you will land up having a budgeted evening. I once dated a much younger charming young man (he seemed charming before the date, that is !!) who took me to Mac Donald’s for our 1st date and insisted on ordering the food without me getting a chance to choose what I would prefer. Grrr…latter I got to know that he had only 60 rupees in his wallet so he calculated what lunch he could afford to buy me in his budget.Grrr…

Tip 4 : Never date a 'Stopwatch' – Stay away from the Mr / Ms Always punctual!! They could be scary and intimidating. While it's fair not to make ur date wait too long but never date the 'Stop watch' kind ( the one who would check and nag you on every second of delay) of variety …I once dated a young man who was from the corporate world and meeting timelines and deadlines were his core. I got scolded on my 1st date for reaching 7 mins late and had frantic calls from him 10 mins before he was about to reach the venue reminding me of the agreed time. Grrr…I so wished he would be dead before he even thought about reaching that line!!

Tip 5 : Always try to Judge the book by its cover
– contrary to the exact opposite of this proverb in the dating world (I learnt this from my mistakes!! ) its critical to know a bit more about these partially blind dates with people you barely know coz of just knowing the voice ( only chatted with him / her on phone) or online type of dates. I chatted once with a biz associate for few days over the phone and totally was charmed by his husky deep voice. Just the perfect voice for what i would imagine a TDH kind of a guy would have( TDH =Tall dark and handsome) but to my disappointment the day he arrived at my office to meet me I had to run away from the back door fire exit. What I imagined to be the prince charming turned out to be a frog ( a short, really dark, lanky ugly fellow) Come on who ever told you looks were not important at all was either an outright liars or too ugly themselves.

Tip 6: Assumption is a curse :
If by any stroke of good luck you and your date seemed to enjoy each others company and want to meet up again DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING about your date ASK OUT directly. One of my dates inspite of having a great time together on the 1st date had a bad habit of making assumptions such as “ I assumed you didn’t enjoy our 1st date so I didn’t call again”, “ I assumed you had moved to Tibaktu for further studies ( DUHH!!) so I didn’t call you again” etc etc etc . In the bargain inspite of enjoying a perfect evening together we never evermet again thanx to his bizarre assumptions. Grrr !

Well so thats the Tricky game of Dating ... but its good fun ! Yet another not so wise one once said " Date more people ...Recycle love " :)

Who says you can't mend broken hearts!- Hindustan Times

You sure can mend a broken heart and stop believing in the popular wisdom that says the opposite, a research says.Indian origin researcher Dr Kishore Pasumarthi of Dalhousie Medical School in Canada, who first found a way to prompt heart muscle cells to divide in adult heart muscle tissue, is determined to prove the old wisdom wrong.

Three Things

Three things get most people’s knickers in a twist

Being friends
Loving
Having sex

Things like:

I can't have sex with a friend
I can’t be in love with a friend
I can love only someone I can have sex with
I can have sex only with someone I love
I can’t love you; you are a good friend
I can’t have sex with someone I don’t love
I can only….


...and any other weird combination of can and cannot that you can conjure (add marriage and it becomes even hilarious of what people can come with).

(go have a Guatemalan coffee or an earl grey tea - whatever suits you, while I roll on the floor, laughing)

.
.
.

I am back.

Why these labels? Because it allows us to deal with things we have come to believe. The convention. The knowledge of what can be. The safety.

True love doesn’t need any insurance. Q is, are you in love? I mean really in love? Or do you just want to be in love? As if, the notion will give you that experience?

Batting for the other side.

Oh, not that kind of batting!
Have you ever been in a position to actually say 'No' to someone who just confessed their love to you?
Yes, that kind of batting.

Much as I feel thankful that my guardian angels worked overtime for that one minute when I said 'No', it is an awful feeling. Trust me, you can never say 'No' to someone holding a ring, bent on a knee, under the moon on an isolated beach.

But, I did!

I even convinced my suitor that I wasn't worth it. I would love to tell you that I felt relieved, but I didn't. I went home with a question mark. My mind still wonders what the outcome of a 'Yes' that night would have meant.

This post is proof enough, to tell all those who have been 'No'-ed to, at some point in their lives, a 'Yes' doesn't make it easier or simpler.

Love, like life, is not simple.

Losing Love

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

I sometimes believe saints (the one above is by
Saint Augustine) said such things only so that people who have lost in love find solace. It is almost defeatist, in a way.

What happens to the love that is lost? Is it lost forever, or does it come back to you so that you can spend it all over again on another?
