Books, Bike and Bachelorhood
Today I shall discus about an alpha bet which has been the most influential force through out every turning point of my life. And it’s not Ekta Kapoor’s “K” but it’s my very own “B”
I am sure if Ekta Kapoor read this piece, next time you will switch on your TV sets it will not be “Kyonki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi” but instead “Bahu kyonki saas bhi thi” or may be “Bahu bhi thi Kabhi saas”, or whatever crap she tries to package in most expensive Kanjivaram sarees on TV, the only funda being it will be “B” that would rule the list now.
Well to Begin with, my entry to this crazy planet was termed as “Birth” and I was launched here as “Boy” and boy I knew then and there that this alpha bet will play some important role in years to come.
And then I was “Brought up”. I n school my favorite grade was “B”. No matter how much I tried I was always stuck with that wonderful “B” s and there came a time when I realized that “dude even if you are the only one in class you will always land up getting “B””.
Like every growing boy, at one point of my life, I too desired of having a girl friend but surprisingly I would always land up in company of boys. Mine was a coed school but in the entire school mine was the only class sans any girl.
And then someone pointed out the word “girl” starts with “g” and the letter “B” of boys will always over power the humble “G”. I was destined to become a Bachelor, and you guessed it right, I did become a real good one.
In college I tried getting to “Arts but I landed up perusing “BE”. The B was now my constant companion and then I finally decide to have someone special in my life and I was happy her name started with B. Yes finally I fell in love and these were my Books. And unlike girls I can have them as many as I want without a complain from even single one of the.
Like all beautiful girls , they looked extremely inviting on the shelf and then once you start reading them page to page , uncovering the hidden mysteries you realize only one in ten was worth your time and attention.
It was time to enter the Buck making phase of my life and I knew before hand that apart from the receptionist on the door, it will be all guys world for me and how closer to truth I was, but this time even the receptionist was a heavily built male security guard. Good “G” was still eluding me.
But now I had a second lady in my life. I know you by now would have realized that it won’t be any real women but yes this time I was content having one unlike my polygamous existence with my Books.
It was my Bike.Her Beautiful Black Bulky Body would drive me crazy every time I ride on her.
My job Band was “B”, My appraisal rating showed “B” and even the most sought after onsite opportunity to US of A was not for me as I knew the only place I could go would be “ Bangladesh”, “Burma” and “Bhutan”.
I was coping up Bravely with all the Bs in my life and then I met a Buddhist monk who made a prophecy for me. “So what if you can’t have G for “girl friend” but one day you will have a most Beautiful, Bright, B for “Biwi” and from that day you will be a free man”
I hope the day comes soon but for now I am content with my Books Bike and Bachelor hood.
