Is that what its come to now…. love, that is? the romantics are an endangered species… gone are the days of roses and chocolates and the slow romance. from what i see around, its gone faster and faster and faster until its now come down to speed dating…
no, i dont want to do a moral policing act here, wouldnt do good to sound like a prude and tarnish the otherwise hep nature of this blog…hehe.. so let me just write about it… I thought that it was merely a Valentine Day phenomenon, or in the case of the next weekend, a hangover, but apparently not.. because i have been informed of at least 3 separate events happening over this weekend and the next, and whats more, these are sponsored by brands ranging from chewing gum to fashion brands…
Since i havent been attending any, i’m guessing the agenda based on what i have seen in movies, and heard from others.. rows of guys/girls sitting in a fashion similar to their regular office cubicle existence and getting around 10-15 minutes with someone from the opposite gender before he/she moves on to the next… me thinks thats exactlywhat is needed after the pressures of a ‘perform or perish’ existence at work… but i guess to each their own…
You think they have the speed daters have a customised lingo of sorts? like say, “Take off your clothes” means remove your inhibitions an be open
“Don’t worry, i have protection” means that the person is well settled in life, has a good bank balance and is insured etc
But like i said, to each their own, for there might be people having fun when their partner at speed dating reacts to their attempts to make an impression by looking at the watch and saying, “faster, honey, faster, if you do it well, i just might come with you !! “

Such a scene comes in the movie- hitch, doesn’t it
ha ha ha …lol. i most probably will never try speed dating !
was watching a fast dating program, and was thinking the same thing!
Why dont few of us actually go to one of these ‘events’ and have an entire article on the proceedings? i cant do it alone, so if you are coming, lets go to one of this “all loser” event.
we can actually be someone fake for the few minutes, lets say, 15 tables, thats 15 different personalities.
i would be a
1. humor award winning writer.
2. Nobel price winner
3. Architect

GW’s idea is pretty interesting. The only problem is I don’t know when such “events” happen. And to top it, am not in Bangalore for atleast one month. Hmm…
Hahahaha…. !!
