The Valentine's Day Effect

On and around the 14th of the shortest month of the year the flora and fauna around a settlement of intelligent(???????) bipeds undergoes a drastic change.This unexplained
phenomenon first occurred in the 14th century to pay respect to two saintly gentlemen, both named valentine and has since developed as an important link in the elaborate and
irrational mating ritual of the human species.
The effect, known as the valentine's day effect is most evident in the human species where it leads to the separation of mankind into three groups-lovers,non lovers and political activists.
Lovers are generally people belonging to the the age group of 16 to 25 though exceptions willing to undergo this ritual even at the ripe old age of 40 have been reported.This phenomenon produces a weird effect on inmates of single sex settlements where large groups of people carrying microwave transmitters and receivers are known to exhibit brownian motion.
Side effects may include blushing, smiling etc.
They also exchange objects which reflect light in the red region of the visible spectrum although this is not a rule and depends upon the whims and fancies of the female sex.
Non lovers are people who have moved past the courting ritual or have been left behind.
valentine's day effect leads to increased mental activity in the members of this goup, much of which is either related to jealousy or the futility of the ritual
Political activists are a group of people who pretend to uphold the code of moral conduct laid down by the older members of the herd but are actually trying to find a way to vent the frustration of being left without a mate.

It affects the flora in different ways, every single one of which can be classified under tragic.The worst hit are the young of the rose family which are prematurely killed ultimately to be put in water and then thrown away.

This whole phenomenon is ascribed by the human race to the law of sentiments which is not a law itself but a function of so many different variables that no computer in the whole universe has been able to predict it

Neways the 14th of feb is here........so let the never ending confusion and chaos prevail and hope that a little anomaly in the law brings luck to those who are trying to end their courtship woes this season

THE FOOD IS NOT ENOUGH

finally.......the xams are over and its time to go back home although for a short time.as i begun packing today i realized the collection of things i have gathered around myself in the past three semesters.
the "khane ke dabbe" merit a special attention.every trip back home adds to my formidable collection of containers of every shape n size imaginable.this is because my mom thinks that my hostel comprises of perenially starved people who will assault anyone who is seen carrying food.
so she packs food for the eventuality that even after the assault there will be somethig left for me
also there are special security measures.......first is the security in numbers.the sheer number of the boxes is enough to confuse the assaulters so that i may get time enough to confine myself to the safety of my room.the next is camouflage.........a bournvita bottle that may actually cotain washing powder and cadilla surgicals box that may have sweets.then there are containers that may be opened a very special way or they dont open .inspite of all this if i manage to extract the precious grub then the next problem i face is packing.even bravais ,who managed to give 14 ways of arranging atoms wud have had trouble arranging the boxes.......but then he didnt have to confront with a cylindrical box or a parallelopiped and some more which euclid wudnt even have imagined in his wildest dreams
another problem crops up its ugly head wen i manage to finish all the food(at the expense of carrying a few extra pounds on me). the next time i go home to deposit those marvels in design my mom wonders how i managed to finish all this food. conclusion - the food is not enough.hence more food in as many boxes as possible.
so the cycle continues and every trip adds to my burgeoning collection of cotainers which after a trip or two will be sufficient to put on exhibit.so ppl wait for the exhibition although u can get a glimpse of what to xpect by dropping in anytime at my room n maybe u can have some grub too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
