Where love has always been a way of life

August 26, 2009 posted by indiatime |

Hai preet jahanki reet sada (Where love has always been a way of life), says a famous Bollywood song from yesteryears. A youth from Surat proved that love indeed was the way of life (and almost death, too) when he accepted a girl’s challenge to prove his love for her.

About six months ago, one Ms. Palash, whom a local boy named Raju liked very much, dared him to jump off of a building to prove that he truly loved her. So Raju, smitten with love, did jump off the third floor. He was severely injured, but lived. So he went away to his native state of Uttar Pradesh for a long treatment and recovery.

Recently, Raju came back to Surat, all healed up and everything, and proposed to the girl of his dreams. She accepted and they both eloped earlier this month. But the girl was a minor and her father filed a missing person’s report.

So now, having survived a jump from the third floor of a building, Raju’s next venture will be to survive the third degree from the local police. By the time he is through with that, time will be right to elope and not to have to worry about another dare.

Incidentally, eloping just doesn’t seem to be working in the region. Another couple, who recently eloped, announced their marriage in the local newspapers. To their horror, the groom’s mom was attacked by the bride’s father who hit his son-in-law’s mother on the head.
