Our
society has always been against love and romance. We used to hear that the
World loves the lovers; but it was all hearsay. Simply hollow words. No matter
how modern we may appear from our exterior, no matter how liberal we may sound.
Don’t you believe a word of it. Inside we are very conservative and are
strongly against all these love, romance etc etc. We feel these are the pastime
of fools. The funny thing is that no matter how unnecessary it is, no matter
how much you are against it, it has been going on for centuries and is
definitely going to last for many more centuries. With the passage of time, it
has increased only.
The
latest case in this series is where a petty inspector said I love you to the
lady deputy collector of his office. A big ruckus erupted. Inspector wondered
why there is such a commotion on his I love you. The lady can respond instead
whole world other than her is giving unwarranted reactions. True also, the
inspector told expressed his tender feelings. You have the right not to answer
his I love you and/or reply to him as you deem fit. There wasn’t any need to make it public and
so much so report it to the cyber police station. You could have turned down
his request. You could have texted back ‘I don't love you’ You could have
blocked him. You could have called him for tea in your office and explained.
Why did you make that poor person appear and feel like a sinner and report his
one harmless ‘I love you’ to cyber police. He is not denying the ‘charge’
I
see two aspects in this, firstly, the poor inspector said this on the day of
his retirement. It seems you may be having some strict age criterion. He had
heard Raj Babbar sing "There is no age limit..." And he saw that
Anita Raj did not keep anything Raj (secret) from Raj Babbar. You thought he
was an old man. Look at it from his point of view. Until now, he was tied to
the Conduct Rules and Disciplinary code of the office. The office could have
taken harsh action against him. Poor fellow could have been suspended from his
job. He could have been removed/dismissed from his service. So, he secured his
pension and other retirement benefits first. After padding up his financial
position he expressed his love for you. What did he know that you would be so
upset. You could have affectionately rejected his love request, instead you got
the poor lover arrested. You answered his heart’s communication with your head.
Not done! You have used your position to dispossess him of his. You forgot ‘to
err is human and to forgive humane’
The
second thing is that if you were the retiring inspector and you a ‘Prem Deewana
Deputy Collector’ would your reaction have been same? You would have rushed to
the cyber cell? In case, you had called him to say 'I love you', I am sure he
would not have gone to the cyber cell. Either he would have accepted your
proposal or refused in the most civilized way. Your official position between
him and you proved to be impregnable. Knowing fully well that these ‘worldly
positions’ don’t mean a thing in the affairs of heart. A lover has to be
counselled with love and compassion not with the stick of the law. Love is a
gentle finer feeling; it had to be dealt in the same way and not in the way you
did. You unleashed the Anti-Romeo squad also after him.
Poor
man will lose all faith; he had all along in love. His vision of the world will change. You have
damaged his personality. Scarred his soul. Is this the way one's compliment be
replied? In case you get a compliment, “You look so beautiful today." Or
"This saree suits you so much" Will you call the flying squad. His
first-class compliment should not have responded with third degree. Now on,
people will have to think several times over before giving a compliment. You
brought the Head in the matters of Heart. Now please do not attach poor man’s
property.
We
Don't Love You
