I dread the approaching Valentines day.
"You know my friend M... - her husband has gifted her a new Apple iPhone" said my wife thrusting a facebook photo of her friend triumphantly flaunting her new Valentine's day trophy.
I tried my best to look disinterested, and said "yeah, those things are so cheap in the US".
"Somebody is being cheap here" she countered, which I cleverly pretended not to hear.
"And look at this - my other friend from Dubai has got a jewellery necklace for Valentines" she continued. "And it looks so much like the necklace that Ram wears in "Siya Ke Ram" serial" she said.
Now I break into a cold sweat whenever Siya Ke Ram is playing on TV - every hero in that serial seems to be weighed down with massive jewellery pieces that will need really strong neck muscles to support - the reason why it is necessary for any hero nowadays to be a weight lifter if he needs a role in a mythology serial.
Everytime a hero wears a new jewellery piece (they seem to have an inexhaustible source of heavy jewellery every night), my wife will go "ooh la la" and look at me accusingly from the corner of her eye.
I had enough of this stress so I decided to start a support group on facebook to fight this dangerous trend which has been started by "Siya Ke Ram".
I decided to call this group Jewellery Neendh Udaaye (Jewellery causes sleeplessness) or JNU for short. So that my wife does not know about it, I go to a coffee shop, post it on facebook, and then tagged all my friends to support me on this JNU movement. I wanted to unite all us practical husbands and correct the falsehood spread by all the paid media about the virtues of gold, and unleash a revolution against this hated metal.
I then eagerly awaited the "Likes" and comments to my post.
Comment No:1 was my friend Guru. He wrote : "this JNU movement is a conspiracy of communists like you to descredit the noble values of Lord Rama, and people like you will go to hell".
Comment No:2 came immediately from Comrade Madan (who claims he is a neutral party) who retorted :"I am getting sick of desh bhakts like you who push up TRP ratings for useless TV serials like Siya Ke Ram through publishing such JNU posts. You are a chaddi communalist and should be ashamed of yourself". Molotov Madan they call him.
Comment no. 50 was from my wife. She "likes" and comments on my facebook post :"Do you want dinner today?".
I quickly delete my facebook post with all its comments and head for the nearest jewellery store. You see, while I may not be Sita's Ram, in school I was known as "Survivor Ram".
