Be mine, Valentine. Now you are mine, what Valentine?
‘He is such a romantic. My man surprised me with candles leading from the doorstep to the dinning table on which the delicious food that he had cooked with his very own hands was laid out so artistically that I couldn’t believe my eyes. Rose petals were strewn from the dining table to the bedroom, which was decorated in red and on the bed was this big box and 2-dozen red roses. I opened the box and it was a huge diamond ring. I burst out crying. While I was crying, I could hear water run in the bathroom. I was touched beyond words to find out that he was making a bath for me complete with rose petals and candles and an oil massage. I was ready to choke.’
So was I… on my pizza! What??!! A single guy did all this for a single girl? The guy ought to be ashamed of bringing other women to tears too! Just the question I was dreading from my obviously smug co-worker, ‘So Alpha, what did Pi get you for Valentine’s day?’
The truth or the lies?
Decided it was Ok to lie just this once, ‘Oh Pi was such a daaaahling…he bought me a single rose from the grocery store and took me out to Mc Donald’s. Then he let me play the music I wanted on the drive back.’ *waiting for rest of girly junta to go "awwww"*
Truth be told, Pi announced that he was boycotting Valentine’s Day without consulting me! ‘I will not endorse any Hallmark holiday. Utter bull crap, stupid marketing gimmick. I don't have to prove that I love you once every year.’
Thus, the 14th day of February came and went and no one in my household winced. We decided to put the saved up money in our grandkid’s Valentine’s day fund.
Mr. Saint Valentine sir, you sacrificed your life for a vain cause. I’m truly sorry for Pi’s despicable behavior. Hope your batakti aathma (restless soul- in case you don't understand) haunts him every year, a week before February 14th.

| alpha February 22, 2005 09:38 AM PST  Madhu, do you serve Bjs in your restruant? I'll send him there. :-): Some people are willing to work for free and some people for a price..that's the logic. Star: But you'll have to kiss my feet and call me memsahib and sometimes help me with spellings. | ||

| | |
| star February 22, 2005 07:15 AM PST Alpha - Planning on paying me? Yay! I could use some moolah!! :) - Dont worry, I'll share some with you, you can't forget the little people when you hit the jackpot! | ||
| ||
| | |
| :-) February 21, 2005 09:33 PM PST Star: Doing good? How about you? alpha: Why would you want to pay star when I am freelancing. ? whats the logic behind it? Jammy: You can do something like what I am doing. Just reply to all the comments and add: These replies are sponsored by Jammy. Actually Leela would be your best advisor. | ||

| | |
| alpha February 21, 2005 03:54 PM PST Star, Smiley is free-lancing. I'm planning on paying you actually. Jammy: I can only hope you don't start pop up adertisements. This is slightly tolerable. Apple: Now people are advertising their guys. lee; Seriously! This from a guy who is a sucker to football jerseys! But cool idea, i am impressed, dubai ka hawa is helping. Amitl: All you guys should get some lessons on romance from Patrix. Parmanu: he does do stuff, but I choose to keep it a secret. | ||

| star February 21, 2005 02:41 PM PST Alpha, if you have enough $$ to hire a full-time comment-replier for your blog, you have enough $$ to buy Pi something next year for V-Day, teek hai? :) - how you doin'? | ||
| ||
| | |
| :-) February 20, 2005 11:48 PM PST Jammy: The last thing this world needs is an 'In your face' ad for an amateur guys 'in your face' commentary. But it worked . :-) | ||
| ||
| | |
| :-) February 20, 2005 09:15 PM PST Leela: For the first time I saw a girl using her brains. Congrats. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Parmanu February 20, 2005 02:53 PM PST I wonder how you'll react when Pi really does something special one year. Have you asked yourself that?! | ||
| ||
| | |
| Jammy February 20, 2005 10:43 AM PST This is an advertisement ;-) Visit my Blog for in-your-face cricketing opinion. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Leela February 20, 2005 04:20 AM PST But wasn't it the same Pi who wanted to celebrate the proposal anniversary? See there's a clue: line up a whole lot of chores for him on Feb 14 and he'll take you to the most expensive restaurant in town. ;-) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Apple February 19, 2005 01:40 AM PST ... And he's sensible too! DROOOOOOOL!!! | ||
| ||
| | |
| :-) February 19, 2005 12:09 AM PST Star: That was the most dramatic comment I ever read. Pallavi: Didnt know you are taken. Jeez, who do I left with on this planet? TP and Adi? Note to all 'hot but taken' babes: I have so many flowers and so much love to share. | ||
| ||
| | |
| AmitL February 18, 2005 09:32 PM PST LOL...now,that's what I call'raining on someone's parade',twin..what a let-down...but,personally,even I feel that V. Day is a bit too hyped up by card companies wanting to sell their cards n gifts.:)But,again,as long as it brings peace and goodwill to the world,it doesn't matter. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Mr. Lizard February 18, 2005 05:52 PM PST Ofcourse I explained it ... didn't you read the "bloody" pig thing ??!! ... And then you tell star about neglecting you by not reading your post properly !! Whatever happened to practicing what you preach and all that ?? | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha February 18, 2005 05:32 PM PST Star, maybe I shud start hording on food to look romantic. garfy, TLC? That TV channel where they get you a blind date and do remodeling of your spouses? hmm...strange, never got that advice before..will try and let you know.*running off home to watch TLC, trading partners.* angel: You finally found a post that would break your silence..me is honoured! Thanks to my jilted Valentine's day. Khotta: Not bad kya? bery bad! Liz: You competing with Khotta for least number of words in my blog? Bahut sochta hai tu. You forgot to explain the red decor..he might have puked all the beetroot he ate last night on the covers. but, interesting analogy to make me feel there are surely no men who can do good for Valentines. | ||

| Mr. Lizard February 18, 2005 01:58 PM PST Truth 'could' be stranger than fiction .... Having forgotten to pay the electric bill once again, the man had no choice but to light candles throughout the house. I saw that he had managed to scrounge up some Maggi, and had left some of it for me. Thank God .. the bloody pig. I noticed he had decided not to sweep up any of the leaves that had been blown into the house as a result of him leaving the door and windows open while 'reading' the swimsuit issue of "Sports Illustrated". A box of cheerios was spilled on the bed, with one of those plastic rings having fallen to the floor. I was so upset that I started to cry ... and which point he opened the tap and asked me to wash my face, since I was looking quite ghastly due to the kaajal spreading all over my face. I was ready to choke him. | ||

| khotta February 18, 2005 01:56 PM PST not bad for a Pi. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Angel February 18, 2005 12:21 PM PST lol...I'd been waiting for this post....oops...you don't know me....ok hi...I'm a regular reader, the silent types...couldn't keep silent today though :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| garfy February 18, 2005 09:52 AM PST LOL! Try smothering him wid TLC (overload of it!) every single day (even if it kills you!) emphasizing that he was rite and that this i-love-you deal shouldnt be relegated to one day a year but every single day! Lets see how it goes from there! >:) | ||
| ||
| | |
| star February 18, 2005 09:26 AM PST ai, my bad, you were lying about your McD's date!! But still, I think Pi is more romantic than you. Atleast he's a giant cuddly teddy bear! What more could ya want? | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha February 18, 2005 09:13 AM PST Patrix, he knows he won't die in my hands..hence he ends up taking such risks. Cooking? What made you think he is cooking? Smiley, er excuse me..what kind of sadistic friends I have. He really boycotted!!!! EC: Maybe you wantto get married to Pi..you both can lead unromantic lives. Sam: I had to make realistic lies and also ward off any evil spirits...never know these women. BTW, I am planning on hadpofying my co-worker's guy for myself. Pallavi, cross my toes and heart for you. m: what's the vaccum cleaner for? Trust you to spoil the mood. Star, to break your illusions on Pi's romantic skills..I didn't even get that bio-friendly non-enhanced single dilapidated ROSE!!!!!! I don't get a rose, you dont read my posts...wahhh...talk about being neglected. | ||
| ||
| | |
| star February 18, 2005 08:59 AM PST Apparently in his seemingly unromantic state it has eluded you that Pi is not only romantic but also an environmentalist at heart. One rose speaks volumes more than a dozen!! And florists create their flowers in hot house conditions that are harmful to the environment. The roses that are oft found in the grocery stores are purchased from local gardeners who dont use fertilizers or other enhancers!! Thank God for Pi- due to whom your kids and grandkids will have a future!! | ||
| ||
| | |
| m February 18, 2005 07:28 AM PST all i can say that rose petals strewn on a bed dont do much for any party except create a huge mess......so consider yourself lucky. plus you could get a gift you hate and then you would have to be nice to him just for the gesture. catch him for your pound of flesh on a non valentines date......... | ||
| ||
| | |
| pallavi February 18, 2005 01:18 AM PST my man also escaped with teh hint of a surprise which he says will stun me... yeah I am waiting :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Sam February 18, 2005 01:10 AM PST That was me, btw, with the previous comment..forgot to type in my name! Galti se mistake types :P | ||
| ||
| | |
| Name February 18, 2005 01:09 AM PST Wat lies you made up..Single rose from the grocery store and a trip to McDs...AWESOME !! :D :D :D LOL! Good to see u back in action after a hiatus Alpha :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| elaichi chai February 17, 2005 10:39 PM PST That man Pi takes after my own heart ...God bless his soul | ||
| ||
| | |
| :-) February 17, 2005 09:23 PM PST Just the post I was anticipating. ' he was boycotting Valentine’s Day without consulting me' .....'grandkid’s Valentine’s day fund'...LOL... | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix February 17, 2005 09:06 PM PST He didn't do anything??? He sure has a death wish..good thing that he is cooking these days...otherwise who knows? | ||
