Deflated love
Jaspal Bhatti

A girl said to her boyfriend, "Darling we will have to wait till September before we get married." The boy replied, "Sweetheart, your father has already let three months go by, inventing a new excuse every time. Is there some deep-rooted conspiracy to evade me? Could he be looking for another rich boy as I belong to the middle class?"

"No", explained the girl "you know my father is in the Planning Commission so he does everything after immaculate planning."

"But I cannot fathom the reason for planning our marriage in September," the boy asked with suspicion.

"Look, Planning Commission Chairman Dr Montek Singh Alhuwalia has given a very sound assurance...." The boy interrupted, "What assurance? Is Montek going to sponsor the farm house, band or food and drinks for the marriage?"

"No, you don’t understand. Montek has assured that by September, the inflation will come down. And in my father’s opinion not only will he save considerable amount on marriage expenses but you will also be able to afford our household budget after marriage."

The boy then prayed "Oh God! Bring September quickly and please maintain the growth. The girl asked, "By growth you mean the growth of our economy?" "No, the growth of our love, you foolish girl," quipped the boy.
