Why Women Want Commitment And Men Dread It ???

In a relationship the woman wants commitment and the man dreads from the big ‘C’ (commitment). There are a lot of ‘relationship experts’ who have hundreds of cure for men to turn from commitment-phobic to commitment devotee, but none works. The men have just one problem with the women, that is, commitment.

Commitment to one woman doesn’t exist in a man’s dictionary! We men are admirers of ‘women’, not ‘a woman’, though there are some exceptions where the man commits himself to a woman right from the start. The majority of the men, however, just accept sticking to one woman, quite late.

Men are labeled dogs because they hop from one woman to another time and again. We are pure admirers of beauty; we just can’t resist the womankind. Besides, if the man leaves a woman for another woman, then the woman should blame the woman! Competition is always there. It’s not the man’s fault! We are weak creatures. We are either in search of new adventures (men who actively search for new women) or just plain curious (when a woman approaches us).

Anyway, enough of this stupid justification! Why are men the way they are? Why are women the way they are? I have a simple answer!

A girl grows up to be a woman with stories of a (mark it’s ‘a’) prince charming on a white horse who will sweep her off the feet and they’ll live happily ever after in their magical kingdom. Right?

The story for the boys is a little twisted!

A boy grows up to be a man with stories of Casanova stealing the hearts of so many women. (Please mark, its ‘women’) For a man, Hugh Hefner (Playboy founder) is the ultimate MAN!!! (For obvious reasons – Playboy mansion full of young girls strutting in their birthday suits!!! It can’t better than this) Men all over the world are just proud of Mr. Hef for living an ultimate man’s life! FYI, he is 80 and currently has 6 Playboy bunnies as his girlfriends with an average age of less than 20!

So you see, the basic psychology towards the opposite gender is completely opposite! Women want one man and men can’t think of being with just one!

So men and women, lets not blame each other! Let’s blame the society for putting stories into our head which messes us up. (: p)

Gujjus Rock !!!

If there is a community that laughs on itself, it is the Gujjus! They have a heart as big as their pockets and as refined as their insatiable taste buds.

Nupur, who blogs about them is a Gujju herself. She has written extensively on the irritating habits of the community and how she dislikes the habits. But I feel, Gujjus all over the world need to be saluted for their valour, for facing constant criticisms!

• Yes, they are loud!

• Yes, they have a funny twang which can even be identified by the aliens! Sample this - Eminem kya rape (rap) karta hai?

• Yes, the men wear such clothes that Govinda seems like a style icon!

• Yes, their food is sweet, including bitter gourd (karela)!

• Yes, they TALK TOO MUCH, including the men!

But, that's their USP. Al Ries and Jack Trout said 'Differentiate or Die', the Gujjus knew it before marketing gurus like Ries and Trout! Think about it! At any given chance, we can spot a Gujju correctly 90% of the time with the help of their cues, a few of which I stated above. [ Click here for an extensive list by Nupur (I'm waiting for the goody bag for publicising you :P ) ] That's what makes them so special.

You can't ignore them, they are everywhere!!! EVERYWHERE you go! I remember going to Matheran with a friend, and more than 80% of the visitors there, were Gujjus! How do I know for sure? Simple. They talk everywhere they go, in Gujju and LOUDLY!

They are an innately funny people. I don't know whether they know this or not. Let me give you a small proof how funny they are.

"Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmaa" is rated the best comedy show since 2 years (!!!!!) and viewers find Daya bhabhi just awesome. (I hardly watch TV so I could just seen 2-3 episodes ever since the show is on air. Daya bhabhi truly rocks)

A family full of dazed, stupid and moronic people, with no common sense made us laugh for 2 seasons. Remember Hansaa and Praful from "Khichdi". Damn! They were stupid but we loved them because they were Gujjus. They were so good that their presence was sorely missed and they were exalted to the silver screen recently.

And how many times have we seen the re-runs of "Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai"? Do I have to say the words?

Kal Ho Naa Ho had an entire Gujju sequence in the movie, which I have heard, is often played at Gujju get togethers and weddings! Also, picture the sequence where Satish Shah, playing Saif Ali Khan's father takes him to a strip club and when Saif asks "Papppaa, suu karuu che?" and Shah replies, "Naangii ladki jo-uu che!" Who can be funny even in a strip club? Gujjus!

Kareena Kapoor in the biggest Indian blockbuster 3 Idiots immortalized their snacks. (Remember, Tum Gujarati kitne sweet hotay ho naa! Par tumhare khaane ke naam itne ajeeb kyun hotay hain? Khakdaa, Faafda. Aaj Bush ne Iraq par dhoklay gira diye...lol)

I say, Gujjus are fun and second to none :)

P.S.: Nupur, what do you have to say? (: P)

Political Parties - A Joke

Off late a dear friend, Mihir, is getting a bit perturbed about my constant rants on a political party called Shiv Sena (SS). Let me clarify that I don’t intent to hurt anyone’s sentiments.

So, this is for all of the readers. I don’t hate the SS in particular. I don’t hate any political party. It would be really tough for anyone to believe it, but I usually don’t hate people or anything. There’s only one person that I have managed to ‘hate’ and that is ‘myself’, for acting moronic regularly and screwing around other people’s happiness quite regularly, mistakenly off course!

It’s just that with my new found perspective, I find all the political parties jocular. It’s better to laugh about stuff than to be angry.

The SS has been hogging the media limelight in the past few weeks regularly and has taken the ‘top of mind’ position in the grey matter inside my cranial cavity. So it got obvious that most of my chatter was about this one party. I’ll ensure that if any of my upcoming posts features a political party, I gave due respect to all and babble on equally, not just any one party. (But somehow the SS has become the pet peeve of Mumbaikars, so maybe I gave them the extra coverage)

The Congress has proved itself as a gaffe prone party courtesy the Delhi CWG 2010 whereas I try to find gaffes for other parties and try to look at them in a jovial light.

Hope you like what you read, if not share my enthusiasm.

Who Am I......???

I was just thinking the multiple roles we play in our daily lives subscribing to particular cliques due to some commonality we all share. How playing these roles have fucked us up even more as individuals as we have lost our true identity and are all part of some herd! What I mean by this is that we quickly become a part of some random group because we have some trait or own some common thing or the likes. 

Do we really know what we truly are?

Just listing down some of my herd titles!

• I'm an Asian
• I'm an Indian
• I'm a Maharashtrian
• I'm a Bombay-ite (Screw the SS, I won't call my self a Mumbaikar)
• I'm a suburban-ite becasue I stay in Andheri.
• I'm a male
• I'm a 'straight' male
• I'm a Muslim
• I'm a Sunni Muslim
• I'm an Aquarian
• I'm an Ayubi 
• I'm a HMPS-ite (School HMPS)
• I'm an MMK-ite (College)
• I'm a Rizvi-ite (B-School)
• I'm a PG-A guy of 2008-10 batch at Rizvi
• I'm a Marketing 
• I'm a Nokia guy
• I'm a Honda bike guy
• I'm a Maruti Suzuki guy
• I'm a Shah Rukh Khan's acting hater
• I'm a Shah Rukh Khan's achievement lover
• I'm an Aamir Khan admirer
• I'm a Johnny Depp follower
• I'm a Hollywood lover
• I'm a Bollywood lover
• I'm part of 'x' company
• I'm a Dell guy
• I'm a Sony (TV) guy
• I'm a Brut Guy
• I'm a Pepe guy
• I'm a Jockey guy
• I'm a Whirlpool guy
• I'm an omnivore who doesn't eat pork
• I'm myopic
• I'm a brown guy

The above list was made in less than 5 minutes. If I sit for another hour the list, I'm sure it would run a few more bullet points. 

The point is we would not battle an eyelid to be part of some group. If there are 5 people sitting and 4 of them own a Nokia phone, they would screw the one guy who owns, say, a Samsung. Same way we are 'straight' and wouldn't mind killing a 'homosexual's' happiness!

So, do we know who we really are? Can you ask that question and come up with an original answer where you alone belong?
