Cupid can't take all the credit .........



The world is in the pink of its love with a sea of teddy bears marching down the alleys, cheesy love quoted cards and balloons flying all over, heart shaped chocolates making its way through the food pipe, and facebook servers bogged down with valentines day’s wishes.  Cupid alias Kamadev is busy taking the credit for having successfully hit everyone’s ass with his love arrow but hey the world has failed to acknowledge that miniscule population of the society that is working tirelessly in the making of “THE love story”.   

All this while this breed dint even have a name tag and would have continued so if it were not for zuckurburg’s intitative to christen the group as “Forever alones”. This group is much different from the group that calls itself single because they are single either after having a bitter love experience or with an intention to keep mingling with every third other single they come across. On this pious occasion I take the honor to wish you all a very happy valentine’s day by quoting that behind every successful couple stands a Forever alone friend (FAF) and I strongly believe that saint valentine is a legend representing this breed. 



The pseudo FAF (Forever alone friend)
They catalyze the initial stages of a budding chemical reaction that if not administered carefully might turn into an explosion.  They selflessly render their names to be used as an alias for your GF/BF in your phonebook to ease the tension, every time she/he calls at your mobile while it is lying in front of your parents.




The wherever we go you follow FAF
They are the proverbial kabab mein haddi for the society but few know that they are the ones who can make a couple on a date look like they are just friends hanging out together henceforth saving you from the neighboring Sharma and iyer aunty and yes the bajrang dal too.   This is an innocent breed which needs to be bribed with a free lunch or dinner so that you can be carefree of all the prying eyes during  your romantic rendezvous  whilst you still put up the “we are just friends “ show. 




The fielder FAF
They skillfully catch the phone, the pillow, the vase, the tantrums what not you throw in a fit of rage after having a fight with your partner.  Imagine your Samsung galaxy s4 in pieces if it were not for this FAF.  Thanks to the practice you give, they’d turn out to be the best fielders if kicked onto the cricket ground.  This is a breed gifted  with immense patience to be able to put up with the irritating noises and  shrieking that couples  make all night ..........

(hey wait a second what was going in your mind dear pervert )  all I wanted to say was when they have an argument.



Your friends might seem to be trivial contributors to this occasion, but trust me ignoring them is equivalent to appreciating the engineers who designed a 700 seater airbus but failing to acknowledge the flight steward who keeps the toilet paper roll  in it.  So dear couples if you happen to gift or get a box of ferro rochers do remember to drop in two or 3 chocolates, ribbon tied in front of their room with a psenti note attached to it reading “You will never be forever alone I am always there for you buddy”.
