Love

I wanted to write about love on this Valentines Day.

I remember visiting my friend Sanjay once. As I stepped into his home, his dad was asleep on the floor. He had a news paper spread out on his chest. There was a glistening channel of pan-parag concoction that ran from his mouth. It emptied onto a temporary reservoir on his hairy chest, and then flowed effortlessly through his arm pits to form a swamp of gourmet guacamole on the dusty mosaic floor. He was snoring heavily, which provided the perfect ambiance and drama to the wonderful scene. I first thought that he was drunk. Later I realized that he in fact WAS drunk.

Sanjay was in their kitchen helping his Amma, who was doing Amma-esque things with a pissed-off look on her face. Later as she was serving us lunch Sanjay looked at his sleeping dad and asked:
"Amma, why did you marry him?”
She did not say anything.
“Did you ever want to just leave him?" he asked.
"Yes, I do!" She replied. “He doesn't do anything but drink and sleep. He drives me crazy sometimes. But he is a loving man and I love him too."

A year after we left school, Sanjany’s dad had liver cirrhosis and passed away. His mother could not bear his loss. Three months later she died broken-hearted.

It was a sad story, but they were a lucky couple for what they had between them was pure unadulterated love.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody.

VKNji,
I totally disagree with this matter that a person can ever love a person who never cares for the family. Those generation people are more bothered about the society, their relatives & friends. Hence their tolerance level is high thinking what others may say.Their inner mind will be longing to get rid of such person. It is not the love that is bonding them together.

Your blogs are really good. I read almost all. I don't agree with "D". The point here is that people are not 'black' & 'white' but 'gray'. Some people have bad qualities but also have good qualities. You love the person for his/her's good qualities.

Reminds me of an incident which happened when i use to work in TVM. We had gone to our friends place. His dad had retired from govt service. He sports a salt and pepper bread. To kill boredom, he and his friends get together someplace everyday which only they know. Invariably he comes home slightly inebirated daily. God knows what goes on in their hideout. When we were there a man came and knocked on the door. My friend sister opened the door took a look and called out to her mother that there was omeone at the door. it was actually her dad with a clean shavedface and clean shaved head. he was also very drunk. Mom comes ot the door and asks a question which went something like this Mom : Are you fit ?
dad : fit for waat ?

the rest is history. dad ended up in house arrest till he grew back his beard and hair.
