Ananya and Akash had reached a silent understanding that
they were made to be together. However, there had never been a formal proposal.
Ananya always shied away from direct mention of any kind of affections. There
was something about love that always scared her. Though she loved Akash every
bit, but even the subtlest hint of any sort of confession of love made her put
on her defenses and she would hurriedly try to change the subject.
The valentine day was approaching near. This time Akash was
determined to pour his heart out in front of Ananya and make a proposal to her.
He was well aware how difficult it was going to be. Taking Ananya into
confidence to give him a patient hearing atleast once, was next to impossible.
She would never give in. She would keep changing subjects, or pretend to
understand nothing, or sometimes just laugh it off giving Akash least chance to
elaborate. But Akash had decided to make it happen this time. If she was
adamant, he was determined.
Akash opened the door for Ananya. It was her favourite Restaurant.
Akash had booked the whole restaurant. They were lead to their table which was
beautifully decorated with candles and flowers. There was aroma of fresh roses
everywhere. As they took a seat, soft instrumental love songs started playing
in the background.
A light flashed on the wall opposite to their table. Ananya
could see a blown up collage enclosed in a circle of light. The collage had all
their moments, holding hands, pulling each other’s hair, night time ice-cream
strolls, their one stop chaiwala on the rainy days, their weird poses and silly
expressions. Ananya was observing each picture totally engrossed and Akash was
busy watching her. He was smiling at her changing expressions as she went
looking on from one picture to another. He could see that he had been
successful in making her confront something about her feelings.

Champagne bottle was placed on their table. Akash opened
the bottle and poured it for her. Before she could lift the glass to her mouth,
she saw a gold colored message became visible on the glass surface against the effect of champagne.
She read on. “The first time I saw you, the child-like innocence of your face,
your manners extravagant but graceful indeed, the brightness of your eyes
ignorant to anything evil or bad, your smile, everything was captivating about
you. I don’t know which precisely was the moment when I fell for you. But now when I have, all my loyalties are
booked for you, not only for this lifetime but for the lifetimes to come as well. It
has been five years since we know each other, and now I don’t want to spend
five minutes without you. These five years have been the best of my life and
before you try to escape your own feelings, I want you to have a look at
something.”
Everything was in place. The projector and sound system
were already put up. The moment she finished reading this, Akash signalled to
start the video.
“Their first dance together, Their coffee time chats, An
learning cooking from Akash, An scolding Akash, An’s birthday, Akash’s office
party, Long drives and their incessant song dedications to each other, An
playing with the waves and sand and throwing water at Akash, Akash had captured
their five years together perfectly in the video. An was mesmerized to see how
beautiful their journey had been and how much more beautiful it could be in the
coming years. She had almost tears in her eyes.”
As the video finished, Akash collected courage. He extended
his hand, went down on his knees and recited a beautiful poem he had written for her. He then asked her
to accompany him for life, to be his wife.
By this time Ananya was totally out of her defenses. She
could not escape this time. She only took his hand, lifted him up and only said
one word,”Yes!”
The music continued and the two proceeded to the dance
floor. That valentine day was the beginning of their happily ever after.

This is the
kind of moral learning,
I never delay to absorb into my psyche,
Now I abide by it,
Always so religiously,
That I don’t care even about
the warnings put up,
Oh yes!
I am the proud reckless chauvinist ….

I am the vulgar philosopher and adviser,
I have opinion about everything,
I can advise almost anyone,
I can find faults with system,
With government,
With surroundings,
Infact I love to idealize and advise,
But I like to talk only,
I don’t believe in actions,
Oh yes!
I am the vulgar Philosopher and adviser…
@@@@@@@@
I am the poor common man,
I see around myself,
I see much to my disliking,
But forget not,
I am just the poor common man,
Expect nothing of me,
For I work too hard,
To make my ends meet,
I have always compromised,
Litter that I see around isn’t hard to put up with,
I can contribute too,
For I have the habit of following,
Whatever I see around,
Oh yes!
I am the poor common man…
@@@@@@@@
I am the vain orator,
I talk to make people aware,
I come forward to make lengthy speeches,
But don’t be mistaken that I do that all round the year,
I talk for securing my vote-bank,
I talk but never comply,
Oh yes!
I am the vain Orator…

I am the market saver,
Yes! I do save the Gutkha maket,
I chew Pan, supari, gutkha,
I chew it,
And then I throw it,
Every place possible,
None of the places should be spared,
It’s the prestigious stamp of the market saver,
Oh yes! Don’t forget my role is
Of utmost importance,
I am the market saver…
