What Men Think!!!

It's Wedding Season. Lot of my friends are enterting into wedlock. I have attened several receptions over the past couple of months that i am exhausted and avoiding it now. Its a funny sight indeed, the bride(my frens) draped in colorful sarees and loaded with bright jewellery, surrounded by a bunch of married ladies, all spewing loads a advice. Couple of months back i attended my best frens wedding.As i stood in corner staring at her, i was transported 6 years back. Sliding on the slideway and playing antakshri , we were caught by the principal for having bunked classes. She let go of us cos we were considered good students who would bring glory to the institution;) i still remember how we would rush to occupy the last bench during class tests so that we could conveniently copy and avoid the emotional threats of our beloved teachers who had pinned great hopes on us. We would take turns and buy eachother our favourite candy. The occasional fights and bickerin over petty things , the compromises and patching up, lengthy discussions on how to convey our feelings to our crushes, spouting filthy stuff about our archenemies and losing miserably in intra school competitions, we did it all together. I was brought back to the present by another fren whose wedding is not too far away.

I am invariably questioned about my marriage in all ceremonies that i have attended to date. Whats the hurry!! , is my answer ;) . Last week, i heard one of my frens say that she is on the lookout for a guy who is smart, caring, sharing, loving, easy-going, not too interfering ,as in someone who gives his girl enough space., and earns a decent salary. Whoa!! where will she ever find someone like this?? Poor lil girl is unaware of the acute shortage of such men. Every man belives he is smart, and yes, he is caring, he cares to wake his wife in the morning to fix him a breakfast, and as far as Sharing is concerned, he is ever ready to share his bed wid her, easy-going until she is at home and does the chores and run errands and keeps him happy, she is his property- he is not transgressing, he expects her to be happy with whatever little he earns.


Jokes apart, Its a decision of a life-time. I have seen several relationship flounder and there is absolutely no space for compromise.Most of my frens are married and most settled abroad. The gals have lost it all, identity, name, family, country. And am quite surprised at the ease with which they accept it and gradually settle down. I wish them goodluck and a very happy life.For all men - Woman is not just a cook, a child-bearing machine, a sex object.
