Say No to Valentine!! Save Bharath Culture!!

You might be wondering that this is the same old story that everyone puts as their status and keep forwarding messages in the month of February such as “Say no to Valentine’s Day! Save Bharath Culture”. Or messages saying if we find you on this day, be prepared to get married or to get a new brother/sister or to get beaten up.

We will plan something for his birthday.

You know he loves you. He is just worried about you. That’s all.”

Me: “But Mom, Dad never celebrates his Birthday! Remember how he sent his friends and colleagues away when we planned for a surprise last year?

I am not sure if he would like it this time either and I am not going to go through another round of quarrel with him!”

Mom: “Let us not call anybody home tomorrow. We will bake a special cake for him before he comes home from work. Sounds Fun?
