Man Only!

My stint with men has been quite instructive. I think, categorically this is what I could cull out from my experience with the good, bad and ugly.
This is a general spoof written with no offence meant to any one in particular or any region/state a person resides in.

For fun sake only, read on:

1. Stupid & Pathetic Men: Normally born and raised in Delhi but with a majority ethnic background of Rajasthan, U.P. or Haryana. Usually found sporting large scruffy hair-do or a goatee/soul patch. He will always feel himself to be dude, speaks wrong English (no wait, pathetic English) and thinks he is every damsel’s knight in shining armor…whatever! And bah! Often found wearing cut-sleeves shirts or loud/vibrant colored tees. He will play loud music while driving car, will often look like out of snow-powdered facial lifts, likes Panjabi Music (Hip-hop & Rap are personal favorite) and habitually mistakes noise for music. He is more often than not seen with women of a similar tribe and background if not a groupie. These kinds of men get attracted to smart, independent and beautiful women (not their fault). But always get vehemently rejected by the sensible women. Women often label them as an insult to intelligence.
Catchy trait for them includes: Lecherous, Pervert, Sick, Extravagant, Ostentatious, Dumb-witted, Hardly sensible, Poor at English, Over-confident, Loser, etc

2. Hard-working Men: A home-grown boy, who generally loves shopping at alcove, spends time with family and works hard at his part time stint at various job(s). He speaks English with a thick consonant sound and worships daily. Generally not found to be good looking, but if they are attractive they struggle for the film-industry. These men are not just God fearing but dreads female power. So they hardly turn out to be faltering in a commitment/relationship. These men get frustrated in their mid-life and often resort to alcohol.


3. Nerdy Men: He aspires to become a learned man with high end interest in mandatory one (or more) musical instrument, art/craft or public speaking. He accompanies for un-manly activities like shopping, knitting, sewing and et al. He is usually friendly with people of all states, region, religion etc and speaks correct English. A nerd will always think Eminem and Beatles are the coolest to have ever been born but know nothing about the history and purpose of the genre. Sometimes, he is confined to a life of celibacy and is a perfect candidate for being a corporate slave in the future.

4. Business tycoons: I personally avoid and ignore these men. They are normally self employed or run the family business and have the same circle of friends since high school. Normally lacking in social skills, they make up for this by installing the latest bass tube and 23” alloy wheels on their car, which invariably is a Santro/Alto. Music choices are mostly Punjabi apart from other seemingly popular artists such as Akon, whose lyrics might not mean much but the bass is always nice. They are by and large married by the age of 23-24 thanks to family connections.

5. Work-out-aholics: These men are normally found wearing body fit T-shirts and walking with their arms as tense aping Salman Khan. They drive expensive cars, speak fractured English and are also seen wearing dark glasses no matter what the time of day is.

6. The Rich Brat: And finally the rich brat, who has a bit of everything from the above mentioned categories along with being educated abroad. They are mostly found in prison or in hell after crashing their BMW on a night of heavy partying.

7. Mumma's Boy:  These men have never taken any decision in their life. They look up to their mum for everything even after they have laid countless women. They claim not having seen any one better than their mom and therefore get refused/rejected, avoided and even beaten by their partners! They lack the common sense of not equating the motherly love with amour and et al.

8. Thoughtful & Generous:  These men are mostly from hinterlands of Bengal, Assam etc and have been pensive about freedom and the ideas floating around liberation. They are often attracted by art exhibitions, listen to raw form of music and experiment with almost everything in life.

9. Loner:  These men are one of the most dangerous. They are big time cribber once they find company. people have general tendency of evading the ordeal of their mindless and so-called tear jerker stories. They crave for sympathy and feel left out often. They make the females' life miserable with their grief and sentiments.

10. The smart and intelligent men: These kinds of men have obvious advantages when it comes to meeting important objectives even if their Good looks and Rich columns remain blank. They are preferred by intelligent, sensible and independent women. They are mostly preferred by the upper middle class families in India. They talk sense, are hard to impress and look out for brains than beauty. They are generally smoking hot property in school when they crack thorny entrances like JEE, AIIMS etc and are mostly sought after they get a >6-7 figure salary job.

Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence




One of my favorite song: Sound of Silence
 Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence."



Simon & Garfunkel - Mrs. Robinson

Aarghhh! (Read: My rant)


There are so many times in one’s lives when one thinks, naah I am not worth it. I have witnessed the ordeal so many times. It had been, when I saw a useless guy thinking he is the one for me, when I saw a worthless and demented chap becoming my teacher and dictating me, when I found the system to be completely flawed, when I found it difficult to direct my rage and felt life is melting down at a soaring hotness engulfing me in a transcended buzz deafening me. I have obeyed by the law of work, which also had been physically grueling, mentally intriguing and emotionally agitating. If not for the clumsy me moments my rant is also for the dire straits of my life. To top the ugly eyesore list is no one but my boss.


Today my boss, who is a rogue like everyone else’s boss said something repeatedly funny. Therefore, I have taken the clout of typecasting him as my clown at work. I have been fuming because of him, have been in sheer bewilderment on his imprudence/stupidity/idiocy/absurdity/etc, have lamented for his hideous dressing, have loathed him like I would have despised an infectious skin disease and have found his existence to be baloney and a waste of God’s time. But now I have decided that I would never get pissed off because of a non-entity or a God forsaken slimy insect like individual. I, on the other hand will be maintaining the office decorum by not yelling at him and not spreading the hard core fact (that he is a son-of-a-bitch).


Wow! I feel so much better now.

A guide to understand women


Being a girl, I know that anybody who has a wife or a girlfriend or somebody in between understands that anything she says has a concealed meaning which the male species has not progressed with enough sensory perceptions to understand.  This excerpt addresses some common scenarios.



When she says: What should I wear for tonight’s party?  The satin sea green dress I wore last Weekend or the red gown the Sunday before?
What does it mean and How to handle it: You are in a minefield….  First of all you have no clue if she really has those dresses or if she is just testing your memory. If you make one mistake you will be going towards the “Do you even notice me anymore” discussion.  The best way to handle it is by concentrating and remembering at least one dress she owns.  If you can think of one, just say, “Why not that purple dress?”



When she says: How was your day honey?
What does it mean and How to handle it: She wants you to ask how her day was; you can evade the scene (if you are tired) by switching to a rant mode and cribbing about what awful place you went and kind of obnoxious people you congregated with.



When she says: Hey, you want to watch a light movie tonight? 
What does it mean and How to handle it: She wants to watch some tear-jerker chick flick which you may never opt to watch. The best way to handle it is to agree cheerfully to watch any movie she wants. Just stick a scotch tape to the underside of the DVD and have fun…you will get a chance to feign regret for a damaged DVD.



When she says: Our washing machine is making some rattling noises.  Can you fix it?
What does it mean and How to handle it: No doubt how much I swank about knowing technology, I am still lame duck when it comes to running a technology driven instrument. I still get edgy when I change lanes while driving. Help me come out of this techo-disturbia situation. The solution to this problem is, there is a dead rat stuck in the machine!



When she says: Hey, I am going to the mall.  Do you want me to you get you a shirt or something?
What does it mean and How to handle it: You got a tough problem on your hands.  If you say “yes”, you are obviously not going to like what she bought.  So you can’t wear it nor can you return it (and stay married).  But you can’t say “no” to the question either because then the follow-up would be, “What, you don’t like my taste?”  You can’t honestly answer the question (and stay married).  The best way to handle it is by saying, “Sure.  The plain blue shirt I wear to work is pretty ruined anyway. Can you get me the exact same shirt?”


When she says: Oh, I love this bag!  But they are just above our price range. *sigh*
What does it mean and How to handle it: She wants you to say, “Oh, you deserve them honey”. Honestly, there is no solution to this problem. This is a deadly or rather suicidal situation when you are out of the frying pan jumping into fire. Buy it now, before you piss her off.


When she says: You have no idea what happened at work today, *sob* *sob*.  I had the crappiest day.
What does it mean and How to handle it: She is looking for affection, understanding and solace. If her pout made the corners of your eyes moisten, remind yourself what kind of cheap, insensitive and thoughtless husband you are. Take her out, make her talk to her best friends and buy her chocolates/flowers.

Mathemetics Woes

Dear Maths,


My Question to you:

If imaginary numbers do not exist, why read about them?


My Complain:

I am sick of finding your ex (x) could you please move on?


 My Problem:

Why on earth do you have so many problems ? Can you just grow up and solve your issues.



My Confusion:

Why would you want the trains to meet? or people to meet? why couldn't they go on separate ways?



My Solution:

Darn, get a Calculator for your mammoth calculations every step.



Sincerely Math-Wobbled

AA: whatta Quotation Freak-o-zoid you are..duh


4. " My boy friend likes thin and leggy lass. I feel he is losing interest in me because I sit and blog, eat fries and face book,love eating while surfing the internet.
