Pinky went to find
her father so she
could show him her
choice in life and
blood. Her father
was in a cheerful
mood, having
downed his fifth
Patiala-peg. The
timing was perfect,
thought Pinky. In his
tipsy mood, Papa
would generously

agree to whatever
she asked for.
"Papa, can you see
that guy. Papa, that
man on the stage
with the groom!"
"Yes, Yes. I am not
so drunk. What
about him?"
"Oh Papa, isn’t he
good looking!"
"Bah! A man should
be earning well.
What are good looks
if he doesn't have a
decent job?”
"Then, Papa, why
don’t you find out
about his job?
Papa, please!"
Pinky's Papa melted
at his beautiful
daughter’s plea and
quickly downed
another peg, happy
that his fastidious
daughter had finally
liked someone.
These fussy children
should find their own
match. If parents
interfere in
arranging
marriage for them
then the blame falls
on them life-long.
She came to senses
only when there was
a burst of cheer and
the jaimal (the
exchange of
garlands) was taking
place. Where was
he?
Her hero was on the
stage lifting the
groom, not allowing
the bride put the
garland around the
groom's neck. How
strong he was!
Those rippling
muscles under his
coat! Ooh!
The handsome one
was also making
inquiry regarding
Pinky; this news was
conveyed to Mrs.
Bhatia by Mrs.
Varshney with a
wink and a warm
hug. The
responsibility fell on
Bablu to find out the
details and he took
his task seriously.
Bablu found out that
the handsome one
was serving as a
mechanical engineer
in the Digboi
refinery, Assam. It
was a government
job, well paid and
safe, with pension
and very good perks.
Indeed, for the first
time, Cupid had
thrown its darts on
both sides and the
aim had been bang
on target!
