And so i Thought and Said

We usually keep reading about boys being friend-zoned and how girls play with their feeling- intentionally or unintentionally. Then there are jokes about bad guys getting all the good girls and good guys remaining forever alone. Then the long sentimental messages about how a beautiful girl rejected someone's proposal and how the guy kept portraying her beauty all throughout his life. Another in the series are the images where true love shows two perfect looking models hugging and coochee-cooing with each other. Then there comes the so on and the so forth! In all these, we usually forget to mention the girl who is simple, not really hot (say not hot at all), maybe not very beautiful  (maybe she is but not all made up) too, who is always by your side and hence forms a part of your gang. She, is a bit tomboyish sometimes and sometimes she is just not too girly or high on attitude. Sometimes she is sweet, most of the times she is normal and sometimes she is super mad too. Sometimes

Honesty, If I end up defining it honestly will turn out to be the one word for " lack of opportunity! " You must be thinking that I must be out of my mind to be writing such thoughts publicly esp when placements are going to be around the corner soon and all of the firms, yes all of them will be on a lookout for virtuous "honest" candidates! All the honest guys there kindly raise their hands! This social experiment led to people looking at each other in disbelief! No one was really sure if they could actually put their hand up for the coveted, awaited, debated, opinionated, rated and whatever-ated alleged virtue! The question is, can we be honest even when the opportunity lies in front of us? Can we, dare to dare to think (yeah I wrote dare twice!) about losing the opportunity to excel just to be moral? Can we be courageous enough to bear all the pressure and opposition that will come along? Are we strong enough to stand alone? Can we afford to become a

S unday, usually is the day when I prefer spending the whole day reading; the first half reading the news paper and the second half, reading anything I lay my hands upon. Today, I read an article about an atheist who went about defying the customs emphasizing on the futility of the multiple hours people waste  worshiping  and performing rituals. I, have been for a part of my life an atheist, I was very much a devoted  worshipper  before that and presently I hang somewhere in between. I do not deny the existence of God, not because I know of it but because I do not consider it to be a topic to waste my time thinking about. If He is there, He can well be and do His work like I am doing mine. I respect Him because maybe I have been told to do so or maybe because I believe in Him. One thing for sure is that I respect Him. I do not prefer sitting in the rituals, I do not really follow the day based customs of cutting your nails or washing your hair and I do not offer Prasad or big don

As odd as it may sound, I have no qualms in accepting the fact that I am a lazy bee who can go without waxing for months together and still roam around wearing bermudas irrespective and oblivious "by choice" to what people might be thinking about me ! In short I do not care about people who have time as futile that they would waste it commenting on my hairy hands and legs. I sometimes question myself, why do we females have to wax ? Why is our beauty defined by something as insignificant as body hair. Why is being lady like equivalent to someone who is not in her natural form. I will not say that I break the norms, well it is something even I acquiesce to but why have I learnt it this way? Why can I not go around to parties with all those hair and still look hot or attractive for that matter! Why do guys have the option of women liking them bearded but I have never seen a guy who prefers women with body hair. Why are we being typecast into such a shallow definition of
