That means I didn’t, relax Dad.
Valentine’s Day, the one day of the year that commemorates
the commercialization of love. That’s so cute. The flowers, the cards, the
balloons, the chocolates, the dinner, the sex and everything that comes with
it. The day when lovers tend to love each other more than usual and use it to
express it in
various forms.
However, it is the individual choice of each and every
person how they want to celebrate this day. Whatever my thought about this day,
I respect that fact that others would like to enjoy it, and rightly so.
Sorry, sorry, sorry no… it is against INDIAN CULTURE! STOP!
What is this entire western culture thing that you young people are doing? Not
nice! This is not what we do. NO!
That’s what some radical fundamentalists in this cultured
country of ours believe. And so they declared that any boy and girl seen
together on this day would be married at that very instant. It’s as if they
were roaming around with a pundit and marriage register around town!
Well OK but what about people of other religions you ask?
What other religions they ask? There are other religions in India? Wrong! There
is only one religion in India and everyone must get married in the customs of
that religion. Period.

I was roaming around town the whole day with the gang which
included ‘girls’ too. I did something even more blasphemous in the evening, I
was hanging out with just one of my female friends and I kept telling her that
we could be married at any moment if she hung around any longer. But kudos to
her, she said that she didn’t give a rat’s arse about the “Keepers of Culture
Corps” and even in the worst case scenario of us getting married; I would be a
good bargain. She said that. Really! Come on, you can’t make this up!
Fortunately, nothing of that sort happened.
In your face punks!
