Verna was a virgin. She decided to make love.

She visited her uncle whose dress was of the same maroon colour as his drink and who wore a jacket on all occasions, except perhaps at night about which Verna knew nothing.

Verna’s uncle asked her to wait till marriage for “while there is nothing wrong in a girl of your age to make love, the wait is always sweeter’.

Then she saw some red marks around her aunt’s fair and milky wrists as her uncle arose to yell at the television and shake it so that it presented better quality of picture.

Journalists from Hindi and Marathi newspapers remarked that Raj Thackeray would be a good change for politics in Maharashtra. According to them, Raj never had problems with youngsters canoodling in beaches and parks. He planned to send his party men to the streets on February 14 to ensure safety for couples in love. He had also decided to protect shops selling Valentine cards and other ‘love’ merchandise irrespective of the owner’s religion or language. Raj wanted Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) to serve as an antidote to the partisan politics of Shiv Sena and thereby muster support of the people.
