Foul is useful, fair is not

The other night I met the guy who by Ranjeet’s account, ‘jo department mein pehle aag lagaya”. Looking at this batch reminds me of our fateful two years. In Vani Vihar, there were essentially two Goddesses, Book and Babe. There were a few people who practiced both the faith, but surely hardly any atheists. Of the two, we the “Bookusers” were of course a minority, but we, like the socialists in even in America, were pitied, mocked but respected anyway. This batch boys seem to follow the same path. Mostly like us they are low profile, could be seen studying/discussing at unmanly hours and enjoying themselves or better say cornered at every function and picnic. And the girls are high-profile, figuring in every photograph, cynosures in every event and arousing the deepest desire in everyman on the way just like the girls of our batch did. While the boys would be busy preparing for the destiny in the limited period of privilege most of the girls would be wooed by the followers of the other faith. What is worthy mentioning is that boys would be deemed losers in a race they were never in. And they would be subsequently led to accept it, just the way we were. The process has already set in, with the question “ab bacha kauon.”
Of course I would end with a suggestion hoping that nobody is reading this article. Boys, you are the good ones, the ones a father of a girl would bid few lakhs for but good alone cannot appeal to girls. So if you have slightest inclination for the other faith, proselytion needs just a try. Otherwise the world of books stores for you success anyway, sweet or sour is purely a matter of changing worldview with respect to time.
