With the Valentine's day around, love is raving up the Winter air...
I see these cheeky chics around me, planning on the gifts they are to surprise their boyfriend with, the dress they are to wear to make him grow weak on the knees and their superhit plans to make his day.
Twelve O' clock in the morning...err.. noon... I start my Happy Valentine's Day. With a glass of milk. (Cupid chuckles )
I check my mobile phone.2 new messages. From...a "girl"friend. "Valentine's Day is not only for lovers...It's a day of celebration for the dearest of friends too. Happy Valentine's Day! Love you hamesha!"
Urgghh!!!
Friendship Day should suffice for them! (Cupid-"Homosexuality is legal now.")
A splendid restaurant, with crimson walls, and crimson lights, with crimson balloons dangling from them and crimson seats and a crimson rose on the crimson table-cloth... That's a Bollywood movie set for a crimson-cheeked lady, on her Valentine's Day.
I, had only this crimson bedsheet as a momento of the special occasion. And my very handsome, Mr. Charles Dickens, to perform the role of my "Boyfriend of the Day".
The dedicated 1st year Literature student, stuffs her ear-phones into her ears, selects the most romantic song from her playlist, opens MS Word and starts typing. Not a love-letter. An assignment. A week's pending work. To be submitted the next day, without fail.
"Charlie! Look into my eyes!"
Dil se tujhko bedili hai
Mujhko har dil ka guroor
Tu yeh maney ke na maney
Log manenge zaroor
Two introduction lines(just copy-paste any random sentence from the Internet).
Then the thesis statement. A rephrasing of the question.( shift+f7= Thesaures) I know I have a good vocabulary.
"Charlie, you make me fall in love with you, over and over again!"
Yeh mera deewanapan hai
Ya mohabbat ka suroor
Tu na pehchane toh khair yeh
Teri nazron ka kasoor
He looks into my eyes. And the love flows. From his heart to mine.
Hard Times is not indecipherable, after all!
One paragraph.
Two paragraphs.
"Charlie, do you promise me a lifetime companionship?"
Dil ko teri hi tamanna
Dil ko hai tujhse hi pyaar
Chahe tu aaye ya na aaye
Hum karenge intezaar
One alphabet. And another. A word. And another. Erm...backspace, retype. A sentence. And another. And more. TADA! There,the ultimate paragraph!
"Charlie, will they accept us?"
Aise veerane mein ek din
Ghutke marr jayenge hum
Jitna jee chahe pukaro
Phir nahi aayenge hum
Yawn. Stretch. Grin.
Prof.Shaleen Sharma, this one's for you!
You ought to mark me well this time!
"Charlie, tell me you love me!"
I get anything below 18, he loves me not...
I get 18+, he loves me...
If only assignments were scheduled only once a year, like Valentine's Day!
*Cupid, I need a valentine next year, just to celebrate the day! He loves me/he loves me not!
