Prudent Rosy Knew My Vital Signs

Urstruly,

This was an engaging and romantic read.

Kindly excuse my lack of understanding the nature of the romantic flow here.

Why did Rosy or Tiffany marry someone else ? I couldn`t comprehend that part very well.

On the one end, this is a romantic piece; but on the other end, it brings out a sad component. That component deals with the pressure women go through to take major steps of their life without their own willingness. How can you think of marrying someone because of someone else`s expectations of you ? This is a very touchy subject and many times elders exploit their children. Why not let the children grow up, evolve, mature and be prudent to pick their own life companion ?

On a different note, every romantic endeavor does not require an end. It`s an experience of life and being humans we run into nice, sweet and very nice people while we are out there to lead the journey of life. That`s just natural, I guess.

If every aspect of life had an end clearly cut out then I guess the humans will not appreciate the flow of life and what it has to offer.

Thank you for making me stop by at Chowk and review an article in detail.

...fluid begining and interesting middle, the end sort of spoiled the narration by getting into forced details....well composed nevertheless.

Captivating. And the paragraph about that man-woman moment, that was brilliant.

“PS: HP, don`t you f**king get into a war of words with me. Your wife will regret even allowing your insecure macho shit here.”

Sounds so cute from another wrong one!!!

“she`s pretty fond of that leather, bull whip and hand-cuff thingie”

Thanks a lot for some gusts of cold winds which blew through me while I was reading this.
Very cathhartic!

P.S:while do-gooders like us worked for a better time & place, the pragmatic-ones were having a good time at a better place..or so they thought, we thought!

In retrospect, nothing matters. All a game , a bazeechaa-itfaal.
Except! that perhaps you and I are richer & have more fortune than others;)

What were you doing reading the Khuwateen Digest? And the way you`ve described your new wife, sounds like she`s pretty fond of that leather, bull whip and hand-cuff thingie. By the way, your post reminds me of the Nazi era Berlin Mens Masturbation Club connection.

Urstruly,
Fantastic piece. In fact one can say it`s a unique way reviewing a Vital Signs album. Nice going.

PS: HP, don`t you f**king get into a war of words with me. Your wife will regret even allowing your insecure macho shit here.

Very, very interesting way of using those Vital Signs lines. Well constructed Urstruly.

Right out of cheap third-rate URDU romantic novels and in the mold of Khawteen Digest Afsanas(short stories).

The influence of cheap romantic Indian/Pakistani movies is too obvious.

My former wife would have loved it. Thanks God! I am out of her romantic reach now!!!!

My current wife would say “A man writing love stories! Must be gay!!”

The style is so feminine that I am beginning to wonder…A San Francisco connection perhaps….

Urstruly:

Finally another good story by you! Wonderful tale. Absolutely enjoyed the intertwining lyrics of the Vital Signs. They honored Sami, and you honored them well : )
