Self Denial

Is it a virtue ?

V-Day musings

Over the past few months here,  I have been racking my brains to come up with some purposeful topic that I can write on. But of late, everything seems to be fine – Manmohan Singh’s had a fine recovery, India is winning all its matches, the Super Kings have poached Freddie Flintoff, the temperature has been steadily climbing, my friends are getting calls from the IIMs, so much so that I was really unable to think about anything that can be possibly go wrong with this world – ofcourse, we are avoiding the credit crisis here as the Americans now have Obama leading them. Yes we can, you see.

Everything was nice and fine until we had the good samaritan Muthalik entering the arena. Just when you were expecting if life can get any interesting, he and his social outfit beat up a bunch of girls and teach them a moral lesson. While I am all for Catechism and Moral Science, that is not really my concern now. What really caught my attention was his plans for Valentine’s day. And suddenly, things look exciting on a different level.

Read Muthalik’s matter master plan here.

The implications. When I get to think about it, I am experiencing something on the scale of Mind-at-large.  Imagine.  When you kiss a girl, you either marry her or she becomes your sister.  This leaves a perfect setting for what the American’s and desis who think they are Americans call, a Fling.

These are the people you should keep an eye out for - for the better or worse (Image courtesy - http://www.tundlajunction.com/)

This is to say, if you are interested in a girl physically and just wish to have a “flingy” relationship, or if you are thinking for sometime now about breaking up with your girlfriend/boyfriend, you cannot get a better setting. All you have to do is to take the girl to the most happening place in the city on V-day – because that is most likely to be the place where will you find our saviours – and express your love (in a way you deem fit).  And make sure you do it in their line of sight. And our brethren will just jump into action and take care of the rest. As I mentioned earlier, you will be given the option of either marrying the girl or making her your sister. Ofcourse, we choose the second option after a lot of thought, and wish behenji a happy life and a successful career, while accepting  with overwhelming emotion the rakhi we will be getting in return. (People who haven’t seen a rakhi before can take a look here. You will get something like the fifth image on the grid and not anywhere remotely related to the first four. Just to make sure you are not misled when we mentioned you will get a rakhi).

I am planning to start a franchise of Sri Ram Sena here in the US just in time before V-Day. I bet the Americans will love this idea.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone !
