Cupid Visits Bhopal - 2009

So how have you been Bhopalis?
It has been one year since my last visit.
Many things have changed across the world in the last one year, specially in this part of the world.
Let that be - what's up in Bhopal?

People are threatening to marry off young lovers? Oh that one was from previous year (opportunities in adversity).

Give young lovers a good beating? That has been happening since long.
Previously it used to be done by biological father of involved parties.
Now, in the spirit of outsourcing, the role has shifted to cultural fathers.
That is that.

The moral police is being superfluous, I tell you.
Why mention something like "Couples will be more afraid of being married off than of being scolded, beaten or faces being blackened".
That is like saying people will be more afraid of life imprisonment, then a bail able warrant.
Not sure though, how these people ensure that the effected parties remain married even after the D-Day? See what I mean?
After all, what most probably happens in this 'married off' business is instant marriages, which like instant coffee, does not stand the tests of the actual Filter Kapi.Any clues?

What else?
A Qanooni Brigade (Law Brigade)?
Now that sounds new. What are these people up to?
"File cases against the moral police in respective police stations. If no action is taken, forum will file cases against them in court"?
Sigh!
Then one will have to wait for 466 years (in Delhi, what is the period in Jabalpur?) for your four minutes fifty five seconds to arrive.
It will take a Supreme Court certified idiot to make such plans.

But, what is your dear police doing?
They said "We will not let anyone interfere in the personal freedom of a person."
Jolly good, I must say.
Then, have a look at what they did.
"Thirty-five Shiv Sainiks were arrested after they stormed into a zoo, Gandhi Prani Udhinyan, in Inderganj police station area in Gwalior looking for lovelorn couples," Gwalior Superintendent of Police U K Suryavanshi told PTI."
Pray why on earth were they ever allowed out of the zoo?
What? The animals started collecting Pink Chaddies?
Okay, I should have guessed.

So nothing interesting seems to have happened?
What?
What is the name of the movie? 'Dostana'?
Hush! Hide all the prints for god’s sake.
You never know.
There might be a ban on boys going out together the next time I come visiting.

So long people ... till the next year.
