Would you go out with me?

 

The love season has begun. February marks the month of love rituals where mostly young couples are seen promising each other heaven and beyond. If love were a religion, 14^th February or the Valentine’s Day would have been the Yom Kippur (except for the fast and stuff). Turns out many of you would have booked venues for the event and bought gifts for your partners. For some of you it’s the first valentines with the new one (yeah I know the last one was a bitch) while keeping in mind the older people who are emotionally drained out, it may be another dinner at Café Flo.

 

    The thing I admire about a date is the preparation where Venus and Jupiter pretend to be Ashton Kutcher and Drew Barrymore. But since life is a bitch, things do not turn out be the way they should be. Don’t expect your father to lend his car to you and ladies your mom to give you a pepper spray in case things get messy. You are not living an urban New Yorker’s life dumpy ….Welcome to Karachi ….where dreams can get you into lots of trouble.

 

    Keep lots of money with you. As much as you may believe that love can’t be bought or money can buy happiness. Believe me now Rs 2000 worth of flowers can save you 2 hours of love talk and flattery, unless you enjoy it. 

 

    For the guys, keep a lot of change in your front pockets. In case you break a traffic signal because of the LACK OF ATTENTION on the road, you should have something to let the police go. You know they don’t care about the license and traffic signal. Come on even they have the right to celebrate it.

 

    Try taking your partner to places where there is less risk of your parents coming there. Since they have a license to show off their romanticism they wouldn’t care to get caught by anyone.

I know you people have seen a lot of television and aspire to have one in a kind of relationship. But a piece of advice there is no camera in front of you and there are a whole bunch of people who have put their weird eyes on you two. So just try to act normal and avoid “PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION” .You wouldn’t know when a frustrated aunty complained the manager about the indecent act.

 

    In case the Pakistani version of Shiv Sena ( i.e The Namoos e Risalat Group ) attacks your privacy, I have a simple advice for both of you. Run for your lives. For the guys don’t try to be a hero and save the girl. They aren't going to harm her anyway. And you guys are going to have a break up anyway, so save the energy for that time.

And if you want to save yourself from all this misery become a self obsessed person, order pizza and continue with the old 007 flicks which you could not watch before (Money Penny in those movies was better than the one they show now)
