60. Aman loves Damini

Erich Segal said that true love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ear checked.

But that was true; now, times have changed. 

It now shows up as WhatsApp messages, Instagram Reels, and a few lines on Facebook pages. 

Younger generations are unable to write with a pen and can only type; traditional letters are becoming outdated.

Anyway, today let's have a good laugh –

A video someone shared with me, claiming it was shot at a school somewhere in Rajasthan.

In the video, a child shows a love letter to the teacher and mentions that a girl named Damini wrote it to Aman. The video does not disclose who Aman or Damini are.

This love letter is really funny; the child's reading of it in the video is quite amusing, and the teacher also looks surprised.

The love letter reads, "I love you, Aman. My love... A paratha filled with potatoes. A glass of water. Aman, I feel neither hungry nor thirsty in your memory. Aman, write down your number. Aman, love you, Damini." 

('आई लव यू अमन। माई जान... 

आलू का भरा पराठा। पानी से भरी ग्लास। 

अमन तेरी याद में न भूख लगे न प्यास। 

अमन अपना नंबर लिखो। अमन लवस दामिनी।'

The good thing is that no one knows who Damini is or who Aman is.

Where do these children come up with such punch lines and ideas, and who is teaching them how to write love letters in school? 

I’m pleased to see young and emerging talents, ensuring the literary world remains vibrant.

However, the way everything was orchestrated, I can't help but think it was merely staged by some YouTuber to attract more views.

Forget the backstory; let's have a good laugh since we rarely get opportunities like this.
