The day before V day

I don't qualify even by the slightest margin to write a post on V day, that's your Valentines day, February the 14th. But I will know if I am qualified or not, if only I attempt to write a post on the Do's and Dont's on V day which you ideally want to know on your V day or the D-day. The tips are applicable for both the genders preferably with a little inclination to men, on what they should be doing ideally on this day.

DO's:

1. Put on your best possible dress in which you felt glamorous, handsome and like the Hero of your family. Remember the day you received the best compliments for wearing that dress.
2. Smile stupidly, even though you know that you are making yourself a weirdo.
3.Eye contact they say is very important. And girls do observe that. Yes, they are the first ones to look for assurance. So sit on your chair and don't take your eyes off even if you hear a cyclone warning.
4. Fix your place before hand. Suggest her couple of places where you want to hang out that evening. Make sure the place where you wanted to go is a better option than the other one you suggested, which means, she most probably is coming into your dungeon.
5. Strike a conversation first up. Put your male ego aside for once and make the atmosphere pleasant for her. Pretend to be submissive. You will have your turn to unveil your machiavellian side.
6. Patience. Whatever is your motive, let it not be an ulterior one. If it's not happening today it will happen some day because you made her feel special this day. Girls don't forget things as easily as men do.
7. Praise her a little lesser than what you'd normally do. It will show her that how matured you are.
8. Introduce her to any of the known people you come across ( even the waiter) and tell them that she is your good friend. Fullstop.
9. Do the pick and drop service for free and expect nothing. Expecting nothing should always lead into to a positive result.
10. Evening, after spending an hour with her, around 8 pm, is the best time to propose if you are having the balls. But if you don't want to let the cat out of the bag then enjoy your dinner, ask her for a dance ( she WILL agree today), sip a drink and drop her back, gentleman like.

DONT's:

1. Don't try your traditional clothing. It's freaking weird. This is not your country's Independence day. Be casual and contemporary in style.
2. Stop staring at her attire, atleast on this day and involve in a meaningful conversation. Rambo - Sports - Gadgets - are definitely not her domain.
3. Don't touch on issues that she feels is sensitive. Don't get into debates. You don't want to know what her dad is thinking of you today.
4. Don't invite her for dinner to your home with your parents. If there is none in your home then home is heaven.
5. Don't try going out today for the very first time. Lot of anticipation will be running through her mind. You don't want to feed a girls brain with indirect assumptions.
6. Don't gulp your drinks as if this is the last time you are going out with her. I know you are elated that she came out, but that doesn't mean your should be out of your senses.

So that's pretty much on how I could get rid of the boredom today. A little thought to my brain and I came up with those points. Times of India, writes this junk stuff every weekend. That's how he sells his paper. I did a little TOI today but then, everything has come out of my mind. Say no to plagiarism. We can see, Shiv Sena protesting V day in Mumbai. That I bet will be the headline in prime time news bulletin tomorrow in CNN-IBN. Is India fast adopting the Western culture ,will be your 10 pm Cross Fire debate program with some junk experts. Ironically, I have TOI delivered to my room everyday and I watch CNN-IBN every night. You can crib at the hilt,but you have to live with what is being delivered to you.

Valentines day has never been special for me. Not expecting it to change anything on this day in the future. It has just been a day in the school, college or office. But people who know me anticipate that there is some activity buzzing around me on this day, however I admit there is none. I've been putting that to off for quite sometime now. It's never ever been special. Yeah, looking for some consolation baby.I know my time would come as well. Exactly. Okay,Thanks baby.
