Vinayak, Abhinav and I started off on a debate yesterday. We were trying to reach consensus on a topic which may not ‘concern’ us at this point, and would certainly raise more than mere eyebrows, were our parents there to witness the intensity with which we were pondering and weighing up the pros and cons of a ‘live-in-relationship’.
Yes Sir! We guys here have lot more things to do than just swotting away. Well, actually, more of other stuff, and less study...in fact, it left me flabbergasted when I realised, that what started as a dig at the third rate duplicity in aping the occidentals, eventually led to a three hour animated conversation between the trios, with yours truly largely playing moderator...and that too on some live-in crap!
Vinayak noted that there has transpired a status-quo in the industrially efficient world, which is complemented by a live-in association, wherein, a couple have a mutual understanding of the limitations of time and energy in the fast paced lives of one another, and are more of room-mates than a law bound stree-purush duo. And that, according to him, makes their job easy, though I’d like to clarify, he personally doesn’t support the idea.
Abhinav on the other hand, seemed to have committed to memory all the Hindutva ideologies, that stirred the Indian in you (to an extent), which goes without saying, won on the emotional aspect. Plus, this guy raked deep into history to cite examples that the ‘live-in’ system surfaced many a times in the past, only to die out, in the hands of the sanity of civilization.
And in the end, the one who’s typed in all this, under the spell of drowsy slumber, spoke aloud, “Guys! Cut this crap. I’m happy living in with you guys. C’mon, ek jaadu kee jhappi do yaar!”, only to get kicked on both tashreef ke tokrees and finally pinned down to...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ... sweet ‘living-in’ shuteye.
