Offering



The world’s female-population had dwindled and the suitable women, a breed rare, had to be won over with  love, attention & care.

He, the lovesick guy, had taken a sick-leave from work just to cook lunch for her that Valentine’s Day & propose to her.

He patiently waited for her arrival to his home, having a ready blue-print to impress her & prove to her that he was her best suitor. 

She dropped in spreading her fragrance, enjoyed the meal she was lovingly served and agreed to his marriage-proposal.

Later, they vociferously debated whose offering was better- his or hers!





According to you, whose offering gets higher weightage- his or hers?

  3. @Anita S, (on a lighter note.) i would say HIS offering. In the current work pressure, he has managed to take a sick leave on a valentines day. The next day he would have been rogered by his boss.

    Loved the narrative.

  6. It’s kind of going the other way, from what I’ve read—a decline in the male of the species over the long future, an inevitable way of the weaker Y chromosome.

  10. Dear Anita, Very cute story and I think that everything had to click perfectly for her to accept his proposal. He studied, made a plan and executed it perfectly. Nan :)

  13. A sweet story woven intelligently :) You didn't mention what were their exact words. You are simply superb!

    If their debate was, 'You were better' 'You were better', then both were better as they both had respect for the other's deed. If it was 'I was better' 'I was better', then both were worse...

    There is no question of who's offering was better if 'love' worked there. If they have decided based on other's looks/status, none have done it better. As per what I see in the society, most of the times, the second one happens. Of course, precious things are rare and that's why they are priceless! What say?

    TC! Keep smiling :)

  16. Jaani...since i am all Bollywoody today i would say ' Pyaar mein sauda nahin'. If they truly loved each other then there was no question for debates. Love requires sacrifice...that's why i don't really believe in love. i guess everything is passion and soon it withers and dies a slow death. The only true love that really exists for me to believe in is this which every mother has for her child.
    You know what your story got me thinking...even when the female becomes a rare breed...such is the nature of man...today he takes sick leave and cooks for her...then after few years of marriage will it be the same...
    The rare breed will want more and more to be like how it was before...and somehow the man will not be able to do so...
    As it is in the story they have just started already...'vociferously' debating...
    Love nahin passion...infatuation. QED...i am done...
