Is it enough that I love you?
Or do I have to say I love you
On saying which, do I have to
Straddle the heaven and earth
And bring you a black orchid
As proof of my love?
I cannot give you anything
But my love. I can’t dance,
But I can arrange flowers.
I also know to watch out for
a Love that is too demanding.
Thanks Miss.Arthi for the same!

My Friends Valentine Project :A Good start?!
Dhivya ……… “She was an angel from the heaven. She was like glittering diamond …… like a lotus on a clear pond! Like a full moon“. Yes, she looked beautiful than most other girls and the secret behind that was lots of money spent to pay beauticians and physicians.
If you ask top marketing managers they will say that even a bad product can be sold if it’s presented in the right way! Yes Dhivya was a marketing manager for a BPO company and she knew how to market herself! Sometimes Education helps you more than required! I won’t say she was a bad product but she was like a product which was better marketed!
There is an old saying that “Beautiful women are half married” but my saying is that they are almost fully employed. She was not a genius in college but still was able to get a better job than most other classmates with high percentages! Many still envy her for that and arthi is one among them.
Arthi was amazed when she heard Dhivya’s name in Raj’s choices. The truth is that arthi and Dhivya knew each other but were not friends. Girls who are friends are very rare and even if they become they don’t last long (This is my theory! There are lots of reasons for this.... lets not dwell into that. If you say that, it’s wrong and if you are a girl …… then big sorry ….. & please carry on).
Ok no more Dhivya details. Let’s move on! Raj has to meet Dhivya now and do it continuously over a period of time before something can happen! So before they left on Saturday they decided to meet tomorrow (Sunday, to come up with a plan)!
Raj had many plans in their mind! During that day, before going to sleep, Raj was on a deep thinking.
Karthi asked “Whats up man you seem to be in deep thinking!”
Raj smiled and said “Nothing ….. Thinking about your grandmother’s sister”
Karthi “How about the trick that every movie star uses to woo a girl? I will disguise myself as a rowdy and try to harass your Grandmother’s sister, while you come and rescue her, as a Hero! And she fell in love with you …... you get married to her ….. And they lived happily ever after”
Raj laughed at “Hey shut …… stop your fairy tales. Ok if you have some good ideas let me know! Else keep quiet!”
Karthi “Ok Raj tell me how do you think she will get attracted to you. Do you think you can tell her, all your mathematical postulates and theorems and your intelligent puzzles to woo her …..? Then better forget her.”
He continued “First thing ….. Dhivya should take notice of you. She should start thinking about you! She should think about you at least once a day. I mean you should get into her mind first!”
“There are two ways of doing it. One is to become a friend …a close friend or a person who annoys her or a person who she hates. And you know which the way is the easiest”
Raj - “Annoy her …… You mean disturb her”
Karthi - “Yes Raj tell me whom do you think about most of the times. Your friends or your enemies. I mean, Daily ….do you think about your project leader more… or about me more….. ”
Raj – “My project manager”
Karthi –“Why …… raj, you keep on talking about him all day”
Raj – “Because he annoys with his CMM level 5 fundas and …….. he kills me by making me fill 100 excels for him, daily!”
Karthi –“Exactly raj ….. Dhivya will start thinking about you more if you annoy her! Forget about becoming a close friend … that will take a decade to accomplish, as girls usually don’t believe in men so easily!”
Raj “Ok looks a great start ……. But what if she starts to hate me!”
Karthi –“True…….. There lies the trick ….. We …. . I mean you should annoy her and get into her mind. But she should not hate you!”
Raj “Looks impractical!”
Karthi “No raj …. It’s as easy as this …….. A woman on saree is sexier than a woman on a swimsuit ………. Because a woman on saree …….. annoys you, as it’s neither completely revealed nor completely hidden! You know that ‘Those unheard songs are sweeter than those heard’ …….. Just like that!”
Raj “I don’t understand the link here!”
Karthi “I mean you ….. A thing which is easily accessible to you or that which is in abundant …….. Loses its attractiveness! So are you to Dhivya! You are always there for her to use you, like other men!”
Raj – “what do you mean by that?” he was little angry!
Karthi – “I mean … Have you ignored her when she asked you for your help? Instead you have helped her, many times when she never asked you for that! Have you ever told her “No”? Never till date…… were you always there for her? …. Like her assistant.”
Karthi – “Raj, Do you know why girls like Diamond and gold, because they are scarce and are not easily available ……. I think you got the point! She will start thinking about you if you start to disagree her in most things and don’t follow what she says! You should appear like you are accessible to her but you shouldn’t be ……… So close but still so far… I mean like a woman on saree.”
“Now I leave it to you to decide what you want to do.”
That was a long lecture by karthi! Raj was amazed …… that there are more than mathematics and theorems in life! Life is a tougher problem than most other problems! And life with women! ……. An unsolved mystery still to be solved?
Lot of people can talk ……. But when it comes to action, lots of them fail! But Raj is not like them. He talks little as he is a man of action! Now that he knew what he wanted to do ……. He called arthi and said to bring Dhivya with her tomorrow for the meeting! Arthi was amazed on hearing this, but agreed to it!
So they all four met at a restaurant the next day!
If you ask top marketing managers they will say that even a bad product can be sold if it’s presented in the right way!

My Friends Valentine Project: The Agreement
Raj told them all he wanted and said them his research works so for and how he had arrived at the choices.
Karthi was amazed. He had a thought why he never thought in such lines before!
Arthi was not so much amazed as karthi was. She felt bad that the boys wanted to discuss such things with her!
Raj “folks I need your help”
Karthi – “I say it’s a very bad plan ……… your father will never approve such things”
Raj “I never asked whether my father will approve or my grandfather will disapprove”
Raj “I am serious here. I don’t want to marry a woman who I knew hardly and have sex with her on a time predetermined by some damn astrologer! Are you with me?”
Arthi “Fine Raj Am I correct that you want to marry a woman you knew already ………..and understand her better”
Karthi thought why she is always clarifying and summarizing things? (Damn CMM level 5 software engineer mentality) May be she doesn’t have some original ideas to think of!
Raj nodded in agreement! Arthi said “I am with you” Karthi was silent still. Raj and arthi looked at him for a reply!
Karthi – “Raj I want to help you in what ever you do! But this thing looks little dangerous here! My advice is to drop this plan! Have you given enough thought about what are the consequences of this? Remember you have a younger sister. Will you allow anyone to love her and marry her? What about your conservative parents? I think this is a greater risk for the girl loving you ….than yourself! If you still insist I am with you”
Raj and arthi was amazed with the maturity with which karthi spoke. Karthi was known for his irresponsible and fearless attitude in school and college.
Raj “I know about all these things” (though he had never given a thought about what karthi had said)
Karthi – “So who is the girl you are in love”
Raj replied “Sheela ,Dhivya ,Priyanka ,Rhema “
Karthi – “I have never heard such a big un related name in my life”
Arthi – “or is it four different people you are in love with”
Raj – “Yes they are different and they are my choices for my plan”
Karthi corrected “Contingency plan ……. Even before a plan is ready”
Arthi knew two of them Dhivya was their school mate and was her friend too. Arthi wondered why raj was attracted to Dhivya she was dumb and used to laugh at all these crap jokes that karthi said. She thought karthi had a better chance with her with his PJs ……..Rhema was Raj’s project mate. She was not great looking but intelligent enough to match raj in work.
Arthi was quick to ask Raj “So am I true that Dhivya is our school mate …..? (clarification sought) and Rhema you project mate?” “By the way who are the others what’s that sheeeeeeeela and Priyanka .”
Karthi knew them already
He replied – “Sheela used to study with us in computer classes.”
Arthi “when did you go for computer classes”
Karthi –“Way back in 9th standard and she was 3 years elder than us. I doubt if she is not married yet!”
Arthi – “priyanka?”
Karthi – “His family friend’s daughter. I fear that she has a boyfriend already. His father and her father were family friends”
Arthi as usual was summarizing the whole thing “So one is an older aunty who may have child now! Another already has a boyfriend. One is dumb enough to laugh at even PJs and thing which are not even joke (she looked at karthi). One which your project mates who looks like a Einstein’s daughter ……….. Bad choices Raj I doubt how much my help will really matter here”
Raj “See you know only to see the problems in each of them and compare them. Please don’t compare your husband with us when you get married! They are all better woman in their own respect and I respect them. Also I am gonna marry on among them! I don’t want you people making fun about them”
Karthi – “Where do we start?”
Arthi – “Better we start with Dhivya I will ask her to marry you!”
Raj “Arthi it doesn’t work that way. She has to love me ….. I have to love her…… We have to know each other well ……. It should be spontaneous!”
Karthi – “I think its better we start with Dhivya as we all know about her and she being arthi’s friend should be helpful. But what if Dhivya starts loving you ….. will you stop there?”
Raj “sure no more girls …… even in my dreams!”
Arthi – “If that’s true ……… then our first target is Dhivya.”
Karthi though “why is arthi so much interested in this! Does she hate Dhivya so much! Or is there something else?”
Karthi – “Ok some ground rules …. No one knows about this plan or project except us three. Every decision will be made after we all discuss and decide. Raj has the permissions to make decisions in emergency. If anything goes bad ….. No one should show hands at each other. I mean everyone is at their own risk. There is only one motive behind this plan and that’s to get our friend raj married to her Girlfriend (!? Of choice) and there is no other motive behind our plan!”
So if we all agree to this we can move ahead.
Raj was amazed how karthi has become so responsible and determined he is! Arthi was jealous too!
Everyone agreed. Raj – “So karthi what are you waiting for open the bottle …… cheers to everyone!” (It was a Cola which they drank)
Karthi said “Cheers to Dhivya” (He thought….. Oh sorry Dhivya!)
Projects are usually planned perfectly … at least the project people think they have!. In life not everything happens according to plan and most don’t.
So the plan was ready and they were about to start their Mission Impossible 4 (4 girls involved). They didn’t know that trouble was waiting for them in the name of “Dhivya”!
More on her and our “Project Mission Dhivya” sometime later!
Karthi was amazed. He had a thought why he never thought in such lines before!
Arthi was not so much amazed as karthi was. She felt bad that the boys wanted to discuss such things with her!
Raj “folks I need your help”
Karthi – “I say it’s a very bad plan ……… your father will never approve such things”

My Friends Valentine Project - The Meeting!
Raj lived with two other guys in Bangalore. One is karthi and the other was vinoth. Raj called up vinoth to know if he was leaving home this weekend (so that they can discuss this issue).
Vinoth is a very homely boy? (in the same sense that we say she is a homely girl). He goes home once in every month on the second weekend. So Raj was just enquiring whether they can have a meeting at home to discuss. As expected Vinoth had decided to leave home that weekend.
Raj wanted this discussion to be private. So he made call to arthi first. She hadn't called him for a year or so now (but has given him a missed call (!) every day).
Raj – "Hello. Arthi"
Arthi – "Raj I am busy I will give you a missed call when I am free. Sorry man!"
Raj was about say "bye" but the call was off before that.
He knew that karthi would be at home on Saturday so decided to mail them.
Hi karthi/arthi,
I have arranged for a party at home coming Saturday (6.00 PM). Please make sure you attend the same.
Regards,
Raj
Note: Defaulters will be prosecuted!
He checked up his watch it was Thursday today. So one more day. When he was thinking of the same …. a mail (reply) came. It was from karthi!
Raj,
As you know I have a appointment with my girlfriend at 5.00 PM on coming Saturday. It seems that I will be pretty much occupied during the weekend.
So I will not be able to attend the party that day!
Regards,
Karthi
"Life is once don't waste it by marrying a girl"
The mail was sent to both arthi and him. Raj was wondering who was karthi's girlfriend. He knew the reason behind karthi's new found girlfriend, it was arthi. Raj was determined that karthi should attend the meeting!
Raj replied to all saying,
Karthi, I spoke with your girlfriend just now she said that she is busy coming Saturday as she is on a date with your project mate Prem. I don't think you have two girlfriends. So make sure you attend the party on Saturday.
Karthi never replied back. Raj has always maintained that karthi and arthi are equal to him. He would never hurt one in front of other. Karthi thought that Raj is serious here and decided not to make fun anymore!
So after sometime a missed call came from arthi! The first thing she asked was "From when did your friend have a Girlfriend! (She laughed loud at that) A girl's life screwed! (she murmured)"
Raj was not happy (He was never happy with their fights) Anyway he replied "What's your problem here? Are you jealous? "
arthi "sorry raj I was just wondering ………." A long pause "So Raj what's the party all about?"
Raj , " Just come over. I have to speak to you both and don't worry, it not about you both".
Arthi "ok Raj I will make to at 6PM sharp "
The meeting was confirmed at last.
Karthi was very curios about what this is all about. Raj and karthi used to have dinner together at the Transit (A hotel). So during the dinner karthi brought this issue forth.
"So raj what's this all about?"
"Just don't ask me!"
Karthi has never seen him so serious before. So he kept quiet and never brought up this before him till Saturday at 6 PM.
Saturday 6 PM arrived and arthi had arrived just 5 minutes back. Her house was just near by (15 minutes walk). She used to walk to Raj's house (part of her weight reduction plan though she was never overweight).
So Karthi asked the question that he was thinking all over 2 days (day and night).
"So you are in love Raj?"
If you think the person who was stunned on hearing this was raj? It was not to be but it was arthi who was shell shocked!
Raj said "Yes I am".
Arthi – "what's this raj? This is totally unacceptable. You know I can't love you".
On hearing this Raj and Karthi started to laugh like crazy. Raj has not laughed for more than a week now. And karthi enjoyed the moment and he thought "Do you think raj is blind?"
Arthi was very much angered "Ok Raj I am leaving."
Raj stopped laughing on hearing this. He knew that she was embarrassed. Raj gave a look at karthi as if he wants to kill him as he was laughing still.
After sometime karthi stopped laughing.
Raj – "Sorry Arthi that was spontaneous and not intended to hurt you! Don't worry I am not in love with you"
Karthi said in low voice "neither me nor any man with senses"
Arthi – "So you are in love with a girl? And who is that?".
Raj – "Mmmmmm no with a boy" Raj and karthi started to laugh again! This time arthi was so angry that she threw the alarm clock lying near by towards raj.
Karthi was stunned … as it was his clock! –"Hey this is not your house don't destroy my things. Do you think that was your grandfather's?"
"Ok no fighting" this was raj.
Karthi –"Raj it was you who have called us to discuss something Please don't waste my time (destroy my things). If you want to say something sensible I will wait else I am leaving."
Arthi agreed to that as she was silent.
"Ok there is a puzzle I want to solve and I need your help".

My Friends Valentine Project : The [K]arthis
Life can change over in a moment. And this moment, where our friend decided to let his friends' karthi and arthi know about his plans changed his life!.
Ok lets us know who these [K]arthi are ….
Raj, karthi and arthi did their schoolings together. It was around 12 years before that they met. Oxford school was very busy then as it was admission day. (This school is no way related to Oxford College in UK). There were lot of young boys and girls who had come that day to attend the entrance exams (!?) for the school admissions.
Needless to say that Raj, karthi and arthi were among them.
Karthi was a son of a middle class father who had big dreams of his son! His father was a middle class government employee who struggled hard to meet both the ends (month start and month end). Month ends are usually had lots of fights between his mother and father over lots of issue. But they had this great desire and dream that his son will study and become a scholar someday.
Karthi grew up under the commanding father and his loving mother. His parents had lots of dreams of him and he understood them. Even at that small age he was more mature than most others.
Arthi …. She was not the most beautiful girl around …… neither is she the most intelligent girl around. But she was beautiful and intelligent. She was the youngest daughter of a police commissioner who looked pretty big and threatening. She grew up pretty close to his father and she had her fathers characters …… commanding and arrogant!
Karthi and Arthi were school mates from the kinder garden days. Karthi hated arthi because he hated her father. Once when he was playing football (which his father bought him after lot of struggle and cries), her father jeep went over the football and crushed it. After that he never liked their family except her mother.
Arthi had everything that karthi dreamt of and obviously he hated her. Arthi had no big feelings for him. Karthi for her is like just another boy ….. Until they met in oxford school.
Raj has never met them before and he was also attending the entrance exams and you know what, they were all sitting on the same desk. Arthi was sitting in the middle with Raj and karthi on either side. Arthi on getting seated looked at karthi and gave him a smile. Karthi just gave her a menacing look than she turned the other way. Karthi thought "Do I look more frightening that your monster father".
Question papers were distributed and they started to answer the questions. After half an hour into the exam karthi began to realize that he has no more ink left in his pen. He though about failing the exam and his father looking at him with his leather belt. Ok no need to panic he said to himself. He looked around the people around. Arthi was the one nearby. He called her in a slow voice.
"Arthi ……. Arthi ……. " She turned back…..
"Hey do you have one more pen with you."
"Mmmmmm ……. No "she gave him the menacing look back.
Karthi became pale. He didn't know what to do. He thought "is it possible to commit suicide with the help of a pen without ink? "
He was hearing in the background his father shouting at him with the belt on his hand. Suddenly he heard a voice which he had heard never before. It was Raj who was watching all this after finishing the exam.
"Hey take my pen Return it after the exam" Raj said to him.
Karthi thought God had sent this boy as a messenger to help him.
"Thank you" he said and got his pen and started to write the exam. This is how Raj and karthi came to knew each other.
So Now we know how close karthi, arthi and Raj are with each other. Let's cut the flashback here and continue with our friend's project!
So Raj after striking upon his plan to get his friends help …… called vinoth. Raj is not mad to call vinoth …… to get karthi and arthi's help. Who is vinoth? What's that he has to do with the [k]arthis?

My Friends Valentine Project : The Choices and The Issues
"Of late I had some questions what's life? Why do we have this life? What should we do with this life? .... It puzzling that I have something without which I am nothing .... (Actually there is no "I"). But I have it and continue to have it but I don't know why!
Sorry don't take me on a wrong note. I have not become saint overnight. Just that after not talking to my Girlfriend for a week I have become mad! (Is it so?).
The truth is that I have never talked to my Girlfriend ......... because I don't have one"
This is what our friend Raj wrote in his Diary a year before.
So before anyone asks me any questions like why no blog for a long time, the answer is simple that I had other works. Anyway my life is of no importance now, as our friend stands on the verge of choosing the answer for his questions.
For people who are puzzled as to who our friend "Raj" is is and what's that he is doing, please read below (other blogs) for details.
Raj decided to make it simple. He has to come up with choices for his question ...... the Big Question.
"Who are the possible candidates for being 'My Girlfriend'?"
Ok he decided let's list down their names!
1. Sheela
2. Dhivya
3. Priyanka (not the priyanka chopra)
4. Rhema choudry
These are the names that came to his mind after 2 hours of hard thinking. He has to choose from them and before that he had one thing to do.
Knowledge is power. I agree to that most of the time. Raj being more intelligent that most others started to think in ways of solving this problem more intelligently.
Raj badly wanted a girlfriend and he didn't want to fail at his first attempt. But he knows that failure is bound to happen because of his
1. inexperience in the same.
2. Neither he has a body of Hrithik
3. nor the face of Arvind swamy
4. nor a BigB like Father with him to guide him to victory.
With all these issues he wanted to know what his chance with each of them is.
1. Sheela - 2/10
2. Dhivya - 4/10
3. Priyanka (not the priyanka chopra) - 0/10
4. Rhema choudry 6/10
Self ranking proved to be a big letdown. Rhema seems to be a obvious choice but what about priyanka , dhivya and Sheelaaaaaaaaa ........ Yes he had the thought behind his mind that Sheela should be the perfect match.
(Ok this is getting little boring as its becoming monotonous as there is only Raj and Raj's thinking. Time to introduce two people who would change his life for sometime now).
So confused he wanted some counseling and as usual he decided the best to do was to involve his friends in this. Only God knew then that he was making the biggest mistake then. (Now even we know J).
Raj had two friends.(Please no assumptions here that both his friends were friends as well).
The good and the bad thing about them is that they were completely opposite to each other. They were so different that once you what type of decision one would make in a situation we can very well say what the other is going to do!.
His two friends are Karthi and Arthi. The similarities end here.
You must ask me the obvious question "Why cant arthi be raj's GirlFriend ? Why is she not in the list? Who is karthi? (who cares about guys these days so the question is redundant)"
Answers little later. I think its becoming little interesting. Please let me know your comments.
