Pyar ek dhoka hai (Valentine's Day Special)

It was a small apartment with a bunch of people in there. A lot of noises coming out of the front door.
Shhhh!! One of them raised a hand and said, you're gonna get us out of the society.

Everyone fell still for a second and started discussing rather debating whether MBA is the ultimate career choice.
She was about to say something.. I think..
When a hand showed up right in front of her face and he said, You be quiet! I'll take it over from here.

She's used to being cut off by him during conversations. It's a way by which he protects her from being proved wrong by other people. You don't know how to talk to people, or what to say and when to say you'll make a fool of yourself, he used to say.

They've been together for 3 years now. Fighting their own battles and fighting each other too.

He never felt much like talking on the phone for hours but he had to. He used to scroll through his phone with his earphones on just to get past that daily 1 hour call before she sleeps.

He used to think if he's really in love or it's just something he has to do just to get laid. He wasn't sure if he knew what love was.

Their entire life was revolving around each other. All they used to do was hang out with each other.
She did all she could just to be with him while he was still trying to understand what actually love is.
I believe I should put in all efforts and not expect she used to argue

She used to take care of everything he didn't like. From her attire to food habits, her time at work, even her thoughts revolved around his interest.

3 years into the relationship sometimes she used to doubt her mere existence as an individual.
At some point she has sacrificed her family too just to take care of his ego.

It's been a year since then,
She was thinking all about how immature she used to be.

 She's an independent women now. She can take her own decisions.This marriage is one of those.

She looked into the mirror, her dress looked amazing.

She knew her husband is nothing like him.

Random jibber-jabber

Hey please handle my phone carefully it's 30 thousand bucks. 

I got a new bag just for 4 thousand

What would you know, have you ever been in an international flight?

Well I don't care if it's 2000 I'm buying it

Yeah! I know these chola tastes great but it's nothing like what I had in Dubai, when I visited it, Dubai! I visited , Dubai!

Who shows off Visiting Dubai right? Dude I've been to Australia and I must tell you I'm not gonna show off about it. Even though I stayed in a 5 star hotel and travelled business class.

He's obviously rich look at his spects, atleast 8 thousand it must be, Ray Ban

Sounds familiar? Is it you or the guy next to you ? Ever heard any of these or said something like this?

In the age of advancement we live in, we're somehow programmed to stereotype people based on the money their parents have Or the place where they belong to or the language they speak.

And I'll be lying if I'd say I'm not a part of this vicious instinct of stereotyping people.

And who are we kidding we are all money minded people. And everyone's showing off the money they haven't even earned and in some cases money they don't even have.

I wasn't finished learning all the Hindi words yet and somehow NOT knowing Hindi is the new status symbol. A very much known class of people who feel superior to others just because they don't know the language of their own nation.

Well, if you look closely to a typical conversation between people whether its a couple of friends, lovers, or colleagues you'll find a real life Santa-Banta joke. Each trying to demean other showing off or just disagreeing to what one says. A conversation at work is basically a highly encrypted exchange of information/view/opinion which would be framed very precisely as it passes on from one ear to another.

Whether you're in school or college or office or in a train or at a bus stop, the truth is you're being judged at every moment. The way you stand, walk , talk, your ideas, your dress up and we are all a part of this we pass our judgement about someone based on the way we want them to be. 

From the age of 18 to 28 all sorts of problem most of us have could be solved with money: How to get a girlfriend? How to get into a decent college? How to buy Royal Enfield? How to earn more money? How to feel good about oneself?

Yes! the answer to everything from the day you start living to the day you die: Big Bucks

And then you grow up and realize now the question is; Do you have money?

And the answer ironically is another question: How much?

From showing off the money you haven't earned you end up showing off the money you did earn. Or in some cases it's just a legacy passed on. 

But are we meant to do this? Or in the fear of losing the race we think life is we just find ways to make ourselves feel better.

When you have to sit in a cubicle for an entire day with nothing to do you start observing people, their actions, reactions, and what not.
And you start thinking all sort of crap.

Is this going to change?
Or is it the way it's always gonna be?
And then you look at your family, relatives, friends, their family and their friends, and random people walking on the road and random people sleeping on the road,
And realize...
It's never gonna change.

P.S.- That's what a motivational speech to earn money and start working hard sounds like.
