Cupid wants you....



Probably an ideal write up nearer Valentine's Day - but since I'd written it a while back, thought might as well put it up here (so that you sign in as Cupid's assistant long before Val Day)

Cupid’s work life’s in jeopardy. Big Boss is displeased.

Shooting his arrow on a victim is easy. But the work behind it is tedious. It takes time filling each arrow with the love potion, which in itself is pure and hard to get. The potion is cooked in the pot of beauty, on the fire of patience, selflessness & kindness - and the side effect of the potion is filtered blindness ( blindness to the flaws of its victims). A big portion of commitment & trust is added to the stew...and then atlast its ready. All this is done in the hallowed portals of Big Boss's factory.

However, Cupid's opposite number from Satan’s team is acting faster. He’s mass produced arrows, filled it with cheap juice, and shoots blindly. People are falling in lust, and even before Cupid can shoot the love arrow, the side effects of the cheap juice ensure jealousy hit the victims harder, leaving the heart (exactly where the love potion is injected) scarred.



Cupid needs help – more helping hands, more conducive hearts. He’s on a recruiting spree – do you wanna join his team?

(Guys, I wont blame you if you start hummng "Stupid Cupid" while reading this :-))
