The Truth
about
The Origin of Valentine’s Day

In spite of what you have been told by everyone, the truth is that Valentine’s Day originated hundreds of years ago, in India, and to top it all, in the state of Sind !!!

It is a well known fact that in the old times Sindhi men, specially the XYZ..ANI’S, continually mistreated and disrespected their wives…..(Zaloon)) .

One fine day, it happened to be the 14th day of February, one brave Sindhiyani, having had enough “torture” by her husband, finally chose to rebel by beating him up with a Velan (rolling pin to make chapattis or Papads).

Yes…..the same Velan which she used daily, to make chapattis for him…. only this time, instead of the dough, it was the husband who was flattened.

This was a momentous occasion for all Sindhi women and a revolt soon spread, like wild fire, with thousands of housewives beating up their husbands with the Velan. There was an outburst of moaning “chapatti-ed” husbands all over Karachi , Shikarpur and Hyderabad Sind .

The Sindhi men-folk quickly learnt their lesson and started to behave more respectfully with their Sindhiyanis.

Thereafter, on 14th February every year, the womenfolk of Sind would beat up their husbands, to commemorate that eventful day - the wives having the satisfaction of beating up their husbands with the Velan and the men having the supreme joy of submitting to the will of the women they loved.

Soon a smart Sindhi smelt a biz opportunity in all this and started advising the the Sindhi men that in order to avoid this ordeal they need to present gifts to their wives….they brought flowers, sweets and being rich this was notched up to gold and diamonds soon. Soon the biz prospered and all were happy in apna Sindh…This is how the tradition – VELAN TIME - began.

As Sind with the rest of India fell under the influence of Western culture, with Sindhis migrating world wide to HK, Las Pasmas in Spain, Singapore, Aden, London, America, the ritual soon spread to these and many other Western countries, specifically, the catch words ‘Velan time’ !!!

In course of time, their foreign tongues, this got anglicized to ‘Velantime’ and then to ‘Valentine’. And thereafter, 14th of February, came to be known as Valentine’s Day and now you know the true story of Valentine’s day…….all a smart biz idea when the Sindhi bizman was crossed with the liberated Sindhi woman

Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said: THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?

A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym. To Whom It May Concern: Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.

 Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They couldn’thave a sex life…..how could they have sex? Therefore they wouldn’t have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who’s skin is all scaly and smells like a fish store? The choice is perfectly clear to me… I want to be a whale.

P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my grandkids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a latte with my friends. With time, wegain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, “Good gosh, look how smart I am”!

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
‘Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.’
The little girl said, ‘No, Dad. You hold my hand.’
‘What’s the difference?’ Asked the puzzled father.
‘There’s a big difference,’ replied the little girl.

‘If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,
you will never let my hand go.’

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours…
This message is too short……but carries a lot of Feelings.
