Story of Valentine's Day - Gujarati version

In spite of what you have been told by everyone, the truth is that Valentine's Day originated hundreds of years ago, in India , and to top it all, in Gujarat !!
It is a well known fact that Gujarati men, specially the Patels, continually mistreat and disrespect their wives (Patlanis). One fine day, it happened to be the 14th day of February, one brave Patlani, having had enough "torture" by her husband, finally chose to rebel by beating him up with a Velan (rolling pin).
Yes....the same Velan which she used daily, to make chapattis for him....only this time, instead of the dough, it was the husband who was flattened.
This was a momentous occasion for all Gujarati women and a revolt soon spread, like wild fire, with thousands of housewives beating up their husbands with the Velan.
There was an outburst of moaning "chapatti-ed" husbands all over Anand and Ahemdabad. The Patel men-folk quickly learnt their lesson and started to behave more respectfully with their Patelianis. Thereafter, on 14th February, every year, the
womenfolk of Gujarat would beat up their husbands, to commemorate that eventful day.The wives having the satisfaction of beating up their husbands with the Velan and the men having the supreme joy of submitting to the will of the women they loved.
Soon The Gujju men realised that in order to avoid this ordeal they need to present gifts to their wives....they brought flowers and sweetmeats.
Hence the tradition began. As Gujarat fell under the influence of Western culture, that day was called 'Velan time' day.
The ritual soon spread to Britain and many other Western countries, specifically, the catch words 'Velan time!'. Of course in their foreign tongues, it was anglicised to
'Velantime' and then to 'Valentine'.
And thereafter, 14th of February, came to be known as Valentine's Day!

DO MEN REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES?

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?'

The husband looks up from his coffee, 'I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?' he says solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.

'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.

'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'

'Yes, I remember!' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'

'I remember that too' she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says...

'I would have been released today.'

oh darling yeh hai india

Agar aurat par hath uthaye to ZALIM
aur pit jaye to BUZDIL

Aurat ko kisi ke sath dekh ke ladai kare to JELIOUS
aur chup rahe to BE-GARAIT

Ghar se bahar rahe to AAWARA
aur andar rahe to NAKARA

Bacchon ko dante to JALIM
na date to LA-PARWAH

Aurat ko naukri se rokey to SHAQI-MIZAZ
na roke to aurat ki KAMAI KHANE WALA

Ma ki sune to MA KA CHAMCHA
Patni ki sune to JORU KA GULAM

Aakhir ye jaye kaha ????


oh darling
