Weaving the Perfect MAN!

Of Late I have been extremely passionate about thrashing MEN… Well, the ones whom I have had fights, arguments, and the ones whom I have written about, DEFINITELY deserve this and more. They have given me all the reasons to despise, abhor and look down on them, so I am not going to apologize. But I have realized that in my quest to quench my anger, I have been blatantly accusing ALL men in the process. Well, I will agree I haven’t been fair… then again, better late than Never, right? This is my attempt to undo the negativity that has been going around my heart and mind.

Having said that, I am not quite prepared to sing praises of the Good men I have met in the past or am meeting now. Not yet! I have previously written about my Dad, My friends, My professors and My boss in a Good light! So it’s not like I am not capable it’s just that I am NOT in a Mood to do that! I am missing someone, Uhmm… Of course My brother…But My brother doesn’t fall into this Category because he is MY brother and I adore him to Death! He doesn’t need to be written in a Good Light for anyone to know how much I am in awe, in love and in adoration of him! :)

Well, since I cannot write about the past or the present, why not write about the Future? ;)

I believe that all women have a preconceived notion buried deep down in them, of who Mr. Right is for them. As for me, I am not entirely sure! The One Thing that I am perfectly sure about is that HE will be the one that will last a lifetime! (Provided If and When We find each other!)

The Few things that randomly pop up into my mind are the usual stuff…. Like he could be Sensitive, but not to the point of being wimpy, he possibly will be able to kiss away all the pain and still manage to send chills down the spine while he at it. :P and should be a MAN of his Words. If he says he'll call, be there or not date other women, then he should call, be there and remain faithful! He's could point out the good things but he love the faults too. A Great Sense of Humor, Maybe? Kiss throughout the day perhaps? Lol… Be a Go Getter, financially responsible, good looking both inside and OUTSIDE, Spontaneous… He shouldn't cling to his mother's apron strings like a momma's boy, but he should love and respect her very much. Mamma always said you can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his mother, so there! It would be awesome if he could be able to watch Glee, Bones, Criminal Minds, Castle and the Saas Bahu dramas WITHOUT showing off his Sarcastic Skills! And ye MUST be willing to ask for directions!

So in short, Loving, Sensitivity, Honesty, Supportive, Funny, Caring, Goal Oriented, Handsome, In touch with his feminine side, Financially Stable, Fun, Independent… etc etc… Phew!! LOL!

Someone Like *Gulzar Saab meets Hugh Jackman* maybe... the Ultimate Beauty Meets Brains! Dressed in White Kurta pyjamas, with his muscles ripping through, saying something absolutely intelligent and looking like he stepped out of the Vogue Magazine! Ye I am a GREEDY insatiable person! :P 

Every time I talk to myself about these pointers I get this one image in my head and that is...

Yes that is exactly the image that I get… But then again looking around at friends who have *Compromised*, I don’t exactly see what I am Missing! Getting married to someone just because its TIME or because you want get married, dressed up, take fantastic pictures and all jazz, is kind of unacceptable to me…All this and then What? The Fights, Misunderstandings, the feeling of “Ooohh, I should have Waited or at least not HIM/ HER!” Why feel that way for the rest of your LIFE? We only live once!

Only the other day was I telling my Dear dear friend Mehnaz, “Why settle for any Man? What I want is THE MAN! Why be happy with 3.35 GPA when you get a 4/4 GPA? Why buy a BB Bold when you can buy the BB Torch? Why settle for a Tida, when you CAN get a Merc?” Right? All she did was laugh, I am sure she thought, This Gal is crazy! Do I blame her? Absolutely NOT! Heehe

Before I end, I cannot just go away without being reasonable to my cynical side, Nope Not yet! Here’s an old joke: Santa Claus, the PERFECT Woman, the perfect MAN and the Tooth Fairy get into a car accident -- WHO survives?

Those of you who haven’t heard this one…….. Wait for it….

........

......

.................... The answer: *The PERFECT WOMAN*, because the other three don't EXIST! Lolololol….

Uff... Okie… I agree it isn’t all that fair. Uhmm… Some of us have definitely known MEN who are nearly perfect… or at least think they are!!! Hah! To further confirm my conclusion… Here is a short little poem by someone who obviously has more sense than ME! Heheh…

The Perfect Man

The perfect man is gentle

Never cruel or mean

He has a beautiful smile

And keeps his face so clean.

The perfect man likes children

And will raise them by your side

He will be a good father

As well as a good husband to his bride.

The perfect man loves cooking

Cleaning and vacuuming too

He'll do anything in his power

To convey his feelings of love on to you.

The perfect man is sweet

Writing poetry from your name

He's a best friend to your mother

And kisses away your pain.

He never has made you cry

Or hurt you in any way

To hell with this endless poem

The perfect man is GAY.

... The Sooner We Realize the Better! ;)

Flora, Fauna and I

I have begun to adopt the pace of nature, and her secret - Patience.

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us right. This is my attempt at following her orders... :)

Years Gone By

Bark Barrier

I see you...

Crazy is the Forecast

Green Construction

Enclosed Fervor 

Together yet so Far Away

Standing OUT

Pride, Personality and Prudence

aMAZEd!

A few days back, I was in a daze, probably because I have been slightly overworked, nah majorly Overworked actually… or probably because I got a tad bit lost of the way back home, with barely enough petrol in my car and no petrol station in sight! Or probably because I realized how I let people take me for granted… Yes that’s it… it is exactly that and not anything else. Thinking about that got me amazed at myself… yup! Amazed!

I amaze myself! Creativity, Speed, Patience and most Importantly STUPIDITY and my new found TIMIDITY! Grrr… That in turn got me thinking about other things that amaze me, and why not list them out… that is exactly what I am going to do… List out things that amaze me. Good, bad and ugly… all of it! Well there actually quite a few of them… so I will list out the Top ten of them. :P

1. I am first and foremost amazed by the most amazing person in this World… My Mom! Beautiful, gorgeous, dedicated, determined, unwavering, ever-loving, hilarious, strongly opinionated, and so much more… She is my ROCK! She is the only one person in this world whom I can turn to when I am in trouble… She is the one who taught me to do things my way, always have my way, fight for what is mine, never fear confrontations, to cry just like that and to always be fabulous… I love you Mama! :D :D You know Noolie loves you! :D

2. I am amazed by… the innumerable similarities that me and my brother share, it’s like I am seeing me in a younger male version!

3. I am amazed by… all the Talent in this world! The singing, dancing, acting and whole lot more…

4. I am amazed by… the people in my life… Most of whom come into it only to take something away from me… be it my time, trust, love, etc…

5. I am amazed by… the Males I encounter and their audacity!

6. I am amazed by… my Dad’s ability to look at the brighter side ALWAYS!

7. I am amazed by… my sister’s talent of looking stunning at all times…

8. I am amazed by… My boss’s unpredictability.

9. I am amazed by… a certain someone’s Stupidity!

10. I am amazed by… Mother Nature and its beauty and patience!

Talking about Mother nature, I have recently tried my hand at Nature photography… Will put up the pictures in the Next entry :)

For me, that makes all the difference.

I have been meaning to write for a long time now, but I just couldn’t as was too busy a) getting used to Working after that long break thanks to influenza, b) My bestie is back and in town and was getting back in touch with her, and c) generally lazy :P.

Gender is a completely intriguing subject. Without it, sexism and homophobia wouldn't exist! Without it babies wouldn’t exist! Without it, rapes and sexual assaults wouldn’t exist! Without it, maybe, just maybe the world would have been a different safer place! Without it, my parents wouldn’t worry about me being 24 and STILL single and unmarried! :P (Correction, THEY are parents, it is inherently impossible for them to NOT worry!)

But we can hardly imagine such a world, right? Wrong I have and I think I would personally LIKE living in such a world! All this and more considering a multitude of things. In the past week I have heard about and encountered all sorts of MEN, ranging from Clients who promised the project if he were to be given a *Little* something, to lecherous delivery boys who decide to photograph his customer while she is busy looking for change to tip him, to 4 year old girls being raped in her own school bus, to girls being *touched* unknowingly by random males! Do you blame me now?

Babies have their gender assigned to them the minute they're born, and if their physical sex is ambiguous, they may have surgery to make it less so. After all, HOW could they possibly manage in the world without a gender? Why, there wouldn't be any toilets for them!

Getting back to my subject at hand, All my school life and college life, both girls and guys have told me that I am not Straight, I am a what do you call it a *Dostani*, that I am obviously fascinated by girls because I am not showing any attraction towards boys! As usual I used to laugh it off; obviously there is no point in humoring these preposterous accusations, right? Recently someone (I won’t give the person the dignity of being given a name or even a pseudo name as the individual doesn’t deserve any of it!) told me that I was Asexual, either that or lesbian, and that I was so, because I suffer from delusions from a post traumatic molestation/ experience! All this and more only and only because I thwarted his advances. I knew Men don’t take rejections well but this is impossible! How can he conclude something like that and actually tell me the same. He proceeded to advise me that I needed therapy and that HE could help and would accept me even though I was like THIS!

Like what may I ask?? Like What? Like the fact that I do not paint the town red with my conquests? Like the fact that I hate the concept of physical proximity with unknown males? Like the fact that I have self imposed limits when it comes to men? Like the fact that I think I do not need to drink or smoke in order to FIT IN? Like the fact that I go home daily after work and lead a life that I would like to call decent and regulated? Is this why I need therapy?

Only recently did I realize I was a FEMINIST! Yup! I never really gave it a thought, as to why I used to feel so much for Women’s causes and have a general aversion when someone says “Obviously, after all it is a Lady!” In fact there are times I get so annoyed hearing that it makes it difficult to sit there looking at the person anymore. But Now I know I am and maybe that’s why I am perceived to be *Asexual*! Yes I do believe women do not need men to help them at all, but just because of that is it fair to brand me a Lesbian? I think the word has lost its charm, mystery and meaning considering how easily and thoughtlessly it is being used! I behave in the way I do Because I am a woman. Because I am a Woman I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes"; They will say, "Women don't have what it takes!”.

If being the way I am, young, single, pretty, head strong, successful and boyfriend - less makes me a Lesbian, maybe then I am ONE! But then I pause to think doesn’t being lesbian mean woman's identity, to desire, or to activity between women. Sorry to burst the bubble I have NONE of that! So there!

Is it not possible that people or rather people whom I get in touch with think that she is the way she because she is waiting for the Right one? Or she is just not interested? Is it too difficult to conclude that?

What happened to our DESI CULTURE? INDIAN WOMEN are meant to be to be high on fidelity, remember? I know it isn’t true in all cases at least lets us try and accept it in some… I intend to succeed in my Bharatiya Nari mode… and I am not going to let anyone or anything stop me.

Maybe HE is Right, I DO need therapy, I need therapy in order to live in THIS world and deal with opportunists, rapists, molesters, eve teasers and more at every nook and corner! Guess therapy will help me GELL in! Or NOT!
