Cupid Comes Calling - Valentine's Day 2021

 Cupid Comes Calling - Valentine's Day 2021

One has reached a stage in one's life, when one is really hard pressed to discern the brouhaha over Valentine's Day. So, some Tom, Dick or St Valentine, with vested interest, unleashed this unsavoury, unctuous unction on the hapless souls of this planet, in some 200 or 300 AD. Suddenly, Cupid, who till then was placed in the back of the beyond in the pantheon, catapulted, like a long forgotten Pakistani Ghazni missile (whose booster had hibernated owing to poor quality of its ammunition), into limelight , and started hogging all the attention, a la Rihaana (or Mia Khalifa, depending on your devious choice)

Notwithstanding that, I've been informed by highly placed reliable sources, that VD is good news in this Covid times, for the economy and commerce, more so e-com (don't get me wrong here; am referring to Valentine's Day as VD, and not the dreaded disease, which btw, may be a resultant consequence of indulging in indiscriminate indiscretions on VD). With a raft of roses, loads of jewellery, piles of flowers, heaps of cards and tons of trinkets set to be exchanged for cash (ok cards, or digi-cash), the banks can go laughing all the way ... to the banks 

Be that as it may, I take this opportunity to wish all my Valentines (would be, wannabe, would've been, would've loved to be ... and of course, the one who pipped everyone to the post), the very best on this red heart day ... am sure, all of them have made their peace with their piece (just as I and my beloved have), and are at peace with themselves and their better (or bitter) halves (just like my good lady and I)

Nevertheless, hope springs eternal; therefore, here's wishing that Cupid showers his arrows on your behalf, and that it pierces the heart(s) of your sweetheart(s).

Gotta go now  .... that's the annual VD call from my ex of yore. I had unsaved the number, lest the wifey should get a whiff, raising her suspicions ... पर कमबख्त number मिटा तो सकते हो, पर भुला नहीं सकते हो ...
