*A funny little proposal story, which was submitted for a Valentines day contest*
“I had been stalking her. Yes, literally “STALKING”. I believed just
like in the Tamil movies stalking would lead to us falling in love and
her finally saying ‘YES’ to my proposal. I had all the symptoms of being
in love. I had started sleeping late, waking up early, checking teeth
after brushing, and everything seemed positive and High Definition to
me. Gradually we became friends, and as the usual stories go, best
friends and later on according to what the kids these days call it, we
were ‘chuddy buddies’. After almost a year of carrying her books, buying
her lunch and doing her homework (I am not gay), I knew it was time. I
found her standing alone in the corridor and when I went near her to
open my heart to her; she opened hers instead, saying she was in love
with some guy I cannot describe without abuse. And yes, my reaction –
Facepalm.”
