So, the Valentine Day… and I am still posting…. second proof that I am still single… 🙂

So the deal was my question, your answers…

The question was

“If there was no concept of love in the world… what do you think, would have happened?”

And your answers are:

sharmavarun210varun: Log zyada practical hote aur bematlab ki problems nahi hoti jaise Environmental problems

Kev: It would be a very sad place to live. The poor would be left poor and desperate. There would be no free health systems, no provisions. Everyone would be out for themselves with no thought for others at all. Relationships will be built upon convenience.

Gaurav Dutt: Hell yr

Kartik Maurya: MoNeY sAvInG

Prafful Goswami: love nahi hota to war hi hoti…

Aki Juneja: War, hatred and there would have been self centered people…
Love gives a happy way a cute n lovely direction a beautiful feeling and also respect i mean love is friendship ….pyaar lo aur pyaar do lol

Abhilasha Singh: People would be living a selfish animal like life.

Arindam Saha: Is tension bhari duniya mein thodi tension kam hoti

V-Day… 9 to 9

13th February, 9p.m.

ऋषि घर लेट पहुँचा। उसने फ़ोन पर रेनू को पहले ही अपने देर से आने कि खबर दे दी थी। पर…
“आजकल तुम रोज़ाना ही लेट नहीं हो रहे?”
“आज ही तो लेट हुआ हूँ…”
“और पिछले हफ्ते भी तो 8 बज गए थे… जब तुम्हारा ऑफिस 5 बजे पूरा हो जाता है.… तो इतनी देर क्यूँ लग जाती है??”

“कितनी बार बताना पड़ेगा कि मीटिंग नाम की भी कोई चीज़ होती है… अगर तुम्हें समझ नहीं आता तो मेरी गलती नहीं है…”
“हाँ … हाँ … सब गलती तो मेरी ही है… पता नहीं कैसे आदमी से बाँध दिया घरवालो ने… मेरी तो किस्मत ही फूटी हुई है…”
“तो तुमसे शादी कर के मेरी भी लाटरी नहीं खुल गयी … अब मुझे खाना मिलेगा भी  या ये सब सुन के ही पेट भरना होगा?”
रेनू खाने के बर्तन टेबल पे लायी और गुस्से में लगभग उन्हें पटकते हुए अपने कमरे में चली गयी.… “मेरी बला से…”

14 February, 8 a.m.

ऋषि ने पिछली रात ड्राइंग रूम के सोफे पर ही बिताई… वो सुबह जल्दी उठ गया था।
“आज जल्दी जाओगे?” रेनू ने पूछा।
ऋषि ने कोई जवाब नहीं दिया।
“पहले बता देते तो मैं खाने कि तैयारी कर देती … अब इतनी जल्दी …”
“मुझे नहीं खाना।”
इसके बाद रेनू ने कुछ नहीं बोला… ऋषि तैयार होकर, बिना कुछ खाये ऑफिस  चला गया।
14 February, 12 p.m.

“हुँह… न खाएं तो बला मेरी  से… यहाँ तो ऐसे- ऐसे नाटक कर रहे थे। और वहाँ कैंटीन से चाय समोसे उड़ा रहे होंगे … 5 साल हो गए शादी को… खूब अच्छे से जानती हूँ मैं … खाना लगाने में २ मिनट की  भी देर हो जाती है… तो इतनी चक- चक करते हैं.… और ये पूरे दिन भूखे रहेंगे… हुँह…  रामू …मेरे लिए खाना लगा दे… ”

14 February, 5:30 pm

“अभी तक आये क्यूँ नहीं… ह्म्म्म् …. जानबूझकर लेट आयेंगे …  ताकि मैं चिंता में घुल के मर जाऊं … 5 साल हो गए शादी को…  मैंने भी कच्ची गोलियां नहीं खेली …”

14 Feb, 6 p.m.

“अब तो वाकई में लेट हो गये… आज भी तो कोई मीटिंग नहीं है… लेकिन जब भी मीटिंग होती है… तो फोन कर के बता ही देते हैं.…  क्या करूँ… ”
रेनू ने फ़ोन ट्राई किया पर वो स्विचड  ऑफ था… “अब ऐसी भी क्या नाराज़गी  की फ़ोन ही बंद कर दिया …”

14 Feb, 7 pm

“हे भगवान, क्या करूँ… फ़ोन भी नहीं उठा रहे ….  कहीं…. एक्सीडेंट तो नहीं…”

14 Feb, 8 pm

“क्या करूँ …  पुलिस में फ़ोन करूँ क्या …. पर बताउंगी क्या ….  एक्सीडेंट?…  कितनी बार बोला है कि स्कूटर इतनी तेज़ मत चलाया करो… पर ये तो हवा में उड़ेंगे… मैंने तो स्कूटर के लिए ही मना किया था… पर गुप्ता ले रहा है तो ये भी लेंगे….  हूँ …”

14 Feb, 8:30 pm

“हे भगवान ….  इनको कुछ हो गया तो मेरा क्या होगा….  बैंक में २ लाख हैं…  और इनका इन्शुरन्स… ५ लाख…” फिर १ मिनट रुक के… “मेरी भी मत मारी गयी है… भगवान् करे मेरी उमर  भी इन्हे लग जाये …  पर …. अभी तक …”

14 Feb, 8:45pm

दरवाज़े की घंटी बजी…  रेनू ने दौड़ कर दरवाज़ा खोला… देखा ऋषि नहीं उसका दोस्त श्याम था….  वो कुछ बोले उससे पहले ही.…  “अच्छा हुआ आप आ गये भाईसाब… देखिये न आपके दोस्त कहाँ चले गए है …  फ़ोन भी नहीं…”
“अरे… भाभी… वो कहाँ जाएगा आपको छोड़  के… आज उसके दफ्तर गया था मैं.…  तो वहीँ  से मूवी का प्लान बन गया… फिर उसने कहा की खाना बाहर ही खाते हैं…. तो मुझे आपको लेने के लिए भेजा है….”
“पर फ़ोन क्यूँ बंद कर रखा है??”
“वो तो उसके फ़ोन की बैटरी ख़तम हो गयी …  और मैं अपने फ़ोन से ट्राई कर रहा था तो ‘एंगेज्ड’ आ रहा था… अब आप जल्दी से तैयार हो जाइये….”

14 Feb, 9 pm

रेनू श्याम को ड्राइंग रूम में बैठा के… अपने कमरे में गयी… “ये आदमी तो मेरी समझ से ही परे है… पता नहीं पापा ने इसमें क्या देखा…  5 साल हो गए शादी को पर गृहस्ती वाली कोई चीज़ ही नहीं है इस आदमी में… लेने भी दोस्त को भेजा है … ये नहीं की खुद आ जाते … घिस जो जाएंगे…”

Valentine Messup- II

Hi… people… the color is red, not as a symbol of love, but as a signal of anger. 👿

Many would have been single before V- Day and would have become committed after that, in my case its totally the other way round! I am single, and the event took place on V- Day itself. I think many would, now have a reason to read what follows. ❗

We had planned to meet at my favorite restaurant,  Vriyal. I love their payasam, and I had already mentioned it!! 🙄

So, I reached the place where he was already waiting for me, to come and place the order. But, the thing which caught my eye was a big bouquet in his hands. I reached to him and he presented that to me, with a broad smile, wishing me the day. I was surprised as well as feeling guilty as to I also should have atleast brought a decent bouquet.

After we settled and had greeted each other, it was time for exchange of gifts. It  should have been him to present the gift first, but he pressurized on acting on the phrase ‘ladies first’. I took out the rose and very feebly handed him that. After that I gave him the watch too. Well! he may have no idea about GMT, but he can distinguish between a real and fake PUMA watch. Whatever!!

He then took out a red box which is generally used to keep ornaments. He opened that and it was a gold chain. I actually asked him if it was real, and he said Yes. I was overwhelmed at this moment.  And I was more of shocked plus super guilty.

So, I decided to tell him what happened and as to how the money meant for shopping for him got converted into my shopping and I acknowledged that I was sorry.

At this moment, he became quite serious and looked at me as if either he wants to kill me or desperately wants to tell something.

I encouraged him to go for the second option. And it was more painful than the killing itself.

He told that he also had, like me, made a budget, but couldn’t follow. He purchased a wallet and a pair of shoes for himself, with the money he had to spend on me. Now, the question was, when all his money was spent on himself… and he was not left with money even to buy a card, how did he managed to get a gold chain and such pretty bouquet??

The answer was shocking and the acts he did were actually cheap. The gold chain was his mother’s souvenir which he had stolen. Now if it would have been someone else, I would have appreciated such madness maybe, but when it comes on oneself, it isn’t too romantic. And the bouquet had literally come from the roadside. A girl had thrown it near garbage, but not in the dustbin, so he didn’t let those flowers die peacefully and picked them up from there and removed the stinking roses to presented the rest to me!!

So, at that very moment, I realized that I deserve better and he deserves worse, So i broke up with him, obviously after he paid for the lunch!! 😉

Valentine Messup- I

So, Valentine Day is round the corner. And at this time, I would reveal the fact, which may come as a relief for some and heartbreak for many, I have a boyfriend. 😳

NO, don’t stop reading… because you never know!!

There were two days left and I had not even decided what to gift, for that free lunch at Vriyal. I love their payasam, more than him. And to relish on it, I would have to gift something. This time, I had made a budget of Rs. 1500. I was planning to gift a watch, a chocolate box and a bouquet. So, I went to Sarojini Nagar to purchase a good, but cheap Titan watch. The other two things were going to come from roadside only. I know, he is crazy about watches, although he has no idea about GMT. Yes! he is ganwaar and that is why I said above that you never know. 😉

So, I was saying that I went to Sarojini Nagar to shop. As I was roaming around, I spotted a beautiful t- shirt, especially made for V- Day. It was pink, heart- shaped shirt and it was all glittery. I asked for the price and it was Rs. 500. I asked the shopkeeper for bargaining, and he replied in negative. The shirt had already taken over my mind, so I purchased it. Now, I was left with Rs. 1000. 

“Its Ok!!”, I told myself, “I would gift a less expensive watch”. I went straight towards the Titan showroom. In the way, I came across a beautiful pair of earrings, shaped in heart.. It was also pink, and were matching with the t-shirt, I had just bought. They were priced at Rs. 100 and now I was left with Rs. 900. (YES!! I bought without having any second thoughts). 

I entered the watch shop and got the shock of the day, which I should have expected. The range started from Rs, 3000. Well, i thought, not a big deal. I would purchase a non- brand watch, hardly makes any difference, at least for me… and also, Gift is gift, it should not be weighed by price, but the sentiments of the person giving. So, I purchased a cool- looking, black strip watch which costed me Rs. 200. Wow, guy’s stuff is comparatively cheap. But, now I had Rs.700 left. “Bouquet and chocolates will cost maximum of Rs. 400,” I thought. So, I had,  Rs. 300 left then. With this remaining purchasing power, I bought a black jeans which costed me Rs. 650, after discount. Now, I had only Rs. 50 left for the flower and chocolate. I made prompt changes in the plan. Why would he eat chocolate, he is a guy and chocolates are basically girls’ thing. And I can give a rose, it would cost Rs. 50. (YES! a rose for Rs. 50 and you say being in relationship is fun!!) .

So, this is the story so far. I would update the II and last

post of this series, after the Valentine Day is over.

One thing you would have know by now, I am good at maths! 

Yes!! Its not related, but the line was good 😉
