The Proposal

Hi!

Read this, it is from the movie Home Alone 2…

Bird Lady: So what are you doing alone on Christmas Eve? You did something wrong?
Kevin McCallister: A lot of things.
Bird Lady: Did you know that a good deed erases a bad deed?
Kevin McCallister: Its late. I dont know if I’ll have enough time to do enough good deeds to erase all my bad ones.
Bird Lady: Its Christmas Eve. Good deeds count extra tonight. Think of an important thing you can do for others, and go do it. Just follow the star in your heart.

Chiku,

What are you doing on this Christmas Eve? If nothing special, let’s get married on that eve.

You see, if I follow the star in my heart, I think it is a good deed we can do. And that will be counted somewhat extra also, to compensate for some bad deeds we would have done by then or we would do in future. Of course, it is the best thing for us, it is a good thing for others also as we would invite them for (free!!) dinner. So, what do you say? (Generally Christmas Eve is evening of 24th Dec, but we can cheat slightly on that and do the wedding thing after 12 o’clock, by that we can have the wedding both, on Christmas Eve and on 25th Dec.! :))

If the reason in the above paragraph is not good enough, I can add some more reasons for which you would be tempted to marry me! First thing is that I love you. Second is that I love you so much. One more is that I will always love you. Yet another is that I will love you more at a given moment than the previous one, and that is true for all the moments to come…

If the reason in the above paragraph is not good enough, I can add that I want you to be happy and smiling all the time and I think you will be happy and smiling all the time if you are with me all the time. We would be a happy couple who would be smiling together in all good and bad times…

If the reason in the above paragraph is not good enough, I can add that we have known each other for a long time now and the good thing is that we understand each other so well. We know what the other one would think or say or do in a given situation. There are things we both like, like music. There are things that one of one likes and the other doesn’t, like pop or rock music, but even then we respect and accept each other’s choices. I am sure one day we will originate a new genre called ‘The Indian Classical Rock’ and the world would remember us as the parents of it!

If the reason in the above paragraph is not good enough, I can add that I can continue this sequel of adding a paragraph starting with “If the reason in the above paragraph is not good enough, I can add that…” till the end of time. But I know, rather, we know that I can always come up with something to convince you to my point, so I need not to go till the end of time, only the time when you will say “bas bas… mani gayi” is good enough! And I know that by now you are convinced, because I know you that well. And I also know that you are happy and smiling now and also that you love me too, 3, 4, …, 78…

So, I will call this ‘The Proposal’, and will once again propose you, this time, formally:

My Sweetheart,
Will you marry me on this Christmas Eve?

Lovingly Yours,
pt.
