So its here again, the time of the year when people run around trees, hold ridiculous heart shaped balloons, give the florist's margins a boost and generally exude an air of ineffable felicity. Contrary to popular belief, recession has not (if NIT-Trichy was a case study) hit anyone hard. Like a Tamil movie director would say, Love has prevailed.
Reliable sources confirm that there were as many as 913.1 roses sent in college yesterday. The final .1 was apparently a result of someone playing 'She loves me, she loves him more' with rose petals. As tempted as I was to dispute this figure, the sheer brilliance of it as a topic to rant about stopped me. I mean, if any place could manage this, my college could.
NIT-T is, well, a sort of a danger zone for girls. The last government advisory on personal safety purportedly included a special mention about this campus in Thuvakudi, and the danger of rabid, starved dogs therein. I'm guessing that they mean us guys here. The complete nincompoops who actually believe, on the pretext of optimism and romance, that sending a girl a card and a rose is the perfect way to start a romance. The girl in question would promptly proceed to either, a) Swoon b) Develop a desperate longing for the guy's company c) Throw roses around and hug her pillow smiling or d) All of the above.
I could snort my nasal cavity clean.
In the danger of being called a heretic/pessimist/party-pooper, I categorically renounce the practice as rubbish, hummus and bio-degradable waste. I see no point in the entire exercise except to allow very very freaky guys to exhibit their desperation to be heard in a manner so cliched and abused, that it's probably gonna cost them that small chance they had. When a girl gets a hundred or fifty roses, and she obviously can't classify all of them as genuine, I'd say there's a good enough chance she'll classify them all as nothing but the convenient product of hormonal imbalance.
On the positive side, an expedient lady could probably keep her room pleasant smelling for weeks.
A case study of love and cranial recession.

Hummus is a quite tasty peanut paste which is an Arabian speciality.
