ARREY!! IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY!!

This second week of February is peculiar. It doesn’t have the usual Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, but some over the top named days like chocolate day, rose day, ye day, wo day.... which eventually culminate into Valentine’s Day. So while I was thinking about what to write this week, I came across one such Valentines post on Facebook and thought, “Arrey, Valentine’s Day se better kya topic ho sakta hai?” 

But then I thought a little more and realized, “Arrey, main to single hoon. What do I know about celebrating V-Day?” 

Just then as I was about to ditch the idea of writing about 14^th February, I said to myself (don’t think that I’m some crazy guy who keeps talking to himself! Kabhi kabhaar ho jaata hai!!!), “Arrey, to maine kaunsa koi exam dena hai?” 

So, let’s talk about the day which is apparently the “most romantic” one of the year. Well, if you are committed in a relationship, you already know the syllabus and the “books” you need to buy for the occasion. For those who are not, tension kyu le re ho? Enjoy karo tum bhi. Treat yourself. If you feel lonely, tag a friend along. Even still, if it happens to be just another day for you, so what? The next day all the ho halla will be over and everything will be back to usual. So do whatever you enjoy doing (don’t get carried away, thodi limit me rehna!), stay happy and make others happy. 

You know on one such Valentine’s Day, I bought a rose from one of those flower stalls on the streets, but jiske liye rose liya tha wo late thi, so I spent half an hour chatting with the owner of the stall itself! Uska bhi time pass ho gaya and mujhe thoda discount bhi mil gaya. Anyways, all those singles reading this, don’t just flock these stalls to have a chat with the owner, wo bhi committed ho sakta hai! 

Other than roses, these chocolates also sell like hot cakes. Just like it’s a custom to gift a box of dry fruits on Diwali and gujiyas on Holi, V-Day pe bhi expensive chocolates hi kaam aati hai. Once a friend of mine told me, “dude, the cheapest you can go for is a crackle!” CRACKLE CHEAPEST HAI???? And I was thinking 5 wali Munch se kaam chal jaaega.... but never mind. 

Lastly, let me put it simply, and I will try to sound like those parents who confront their sons and daughters as to whether they like someone so that they can fix their marriage, AGAR KOI HAI DIL ME TUMHARE TO USSE BOL DO. If s/he says yes, well and good. If you get a no, you can always buy that 5 wali munch for yourself and catch up with the flower stall wale bhayia. 

So I guess those who are already in a relationship won’t be reading this because they would be too busy buying gifts and being with their loved ones. Maybe the ones who are single also won’t spend their precious time on reading this post. But still, there are over 6 billion people in the world and from some of the statistics that I have, even people from China, Indonesia and Norway also read my blog!! YAY!! Thank you people!! 

Lastly, humare bade buzurg keh gaye hain ki “Pyaar sirf ek baar hota hai!!” But my problem is that I’m in pyaar with a different girl each time 14^th February comes. Iss baar ki koi booking nahi hui hai abhi tak, sooo........ hai koi??? 

Until next time...

Take care and stay happy. After all, ARREY IT’S VALENTINE’S DAY!! :)
