We Hate Love Stories

Imagine a boy who was brought up in a family where most of the people simply abhorred 'love stories'.In father's side the 'strike rate' was almost zero , where in mother's side there were plenty of love stories but very few of them managed to get the 'prized tag' - 'and they happily lived ever after'. In this mixed environment the boy encountered the first love story when he was in school , in 8th standard most probably , when his college going brother picked up his 'dulhaniya' and married her in a nearby church.They managed to keep the secret under 'ghunghat' for around one week but all hell broke loose as soon as the 'goodnews' started doing rounds . One thing led to another and the girl's family registered police case as if the boy's family had planned to kidnap the girl. The love story had its instant tragic end there and 'Tito' was disillutioned from love stories for life.

Sandy comes next. He was in love with his 'next door Masakali girl' whom he used to meet over the terrace every afternoon. They used to chat for hours , under the moon and starry nights , till her parents were back home.So on Valentines day he wrote an emotional note - excerpts from the note -

' Dear chandramukhi ,

......................

you mean a lot to me......I will get you the moon..get you the stars..take you out for a walk in the clouds.............

..............................

...............................

..............................

Tumhe kaise maya bataun/ keya maya paa gaya hoo/ Tum jo mere sath ho/

mujhko duniya mil gayi hai /Zindagi badal gayi hai/ Tum jo mere sath ho....'

He claims few linew from his valentine notes were later copied by one Shankar Mahadevan;).Anyway he got the reply withing one week . It was her marriage invitation card. Sandy was depressed , for days he lost the meaning of his life , even he wished to kill himself - what's the point in living in this cruel world where nobody care for his love. His good buddies came on his rescue. They suggested - there would be a better impact if he did his 'Payar ki kurbani' on the day the girl would get married.Point taken and the boy took control of his 'irrational imotion' for few days. But on the day when the girl was getting married he simply refused to oblige to his promise - might be got back into his rational mind and became the second member of our ' we hate love stories gang'.

Next comes Rondu - used to be the smartest dude among us - never had any dearth of girlfriends - though we always had doubt whom they liked more , Rondu or his Ford ikon. He even dated with three girls on the same weekend - in different time-slots. When we asked he used to say - 'its all fun yaar - after all khelne me hi to maza haya' And we were jealous of him. But he perished. Had to get married to his 9th girlfriend - who turned out to be the daughter of city's Police commissioner. There was no way out. How he hated to get married but he had to marry a girl whom he least liked , whom he dated for some fun and there was no dowry story. Poor Rondu must wanted to kill himself. Now Rondu got a new name - 'Jiju' -'love you Jiju :)' and yes he is in our 'we hate love stories' gang.

Gagu comes last to share his expert suggestions and lesson learnings . Hi Gagu:)..He just went through a painful break-up and it was his first 'true love'- that is what he claims. As per Gagu 'True love' happens when it drives you 'out of your mind' and makes you crazy when the story ends. You know the pain of watching your first love getting engaged - Gagu actually went through that. Recently he deleated all the romantic memories and movies from his hard-disks. He said - I don't get why people waste time watching 'love stories' like 'Titanic' or 'Casablanca' - there is no 'action' - only 'ronadhona'. How can people waste time watching romantic movies where hero dies at the end or let go the heroine with the 'Villain'. His advice to all the budding lovers - never get stuck to one girl , its too risky , because if break-up happens you will die , so always have back-up plans;). For him love is some 'adrenaline rush' which if goes out of hand even 1.75 liter Johnny Walker might not be enough to cool it off. So guys dont be cupid , better stay away from all 'intoxicating callings' and keep singing

'I don't need you/

don't wanna see you/

you get no love/

I hate love stories' .

Long live boys:)
