Women…. Are they all
like what you had heard the last time?
There are a lot of misconceptions in the world. Like many.
For instance, in Kerala,Hindus are all people who wear ‘mundu’ and visit the temple twice a day.
Christians are people who eat beef, drink, play cards and speak with a heavily
accented Kottayam slang. Out of all this, I surmise the greatest number of
misconceptions are centered around women. Women are gossipers, women are
shopping freaks, women can’t drive for nuts and women are delicate, fragile and
carry a gargantuan amount of Motherly instinct wherever they go….. Are they all
misconceptions?
I've heard certain men talking about women as though they
are as predictable as India’s chances at Football world cup.
And sadly, they are mostly men who had not got much chance
of mixing with them; as much as they would secretly like to. Women are human
beings as well; they differ just like men do. But then again…
studying in a women’s college for three years could (I’m not
saying it would, but then, it might)end up in either of this two- making you a
rancid, bitter individual, either having had bitter experiences at some
relationship or somehow having had developed this notion that all men are
frauds, cheats and chauvinists. They call themselves FEMINISTS and I can’t
agree for nuts.
Or you can belong to the breed of women, who giggle and
smile coyly whenever they see something that the least resembles of a male
visage. They can’t get enough out of
Hindi soaps( who in their right state of mind would believe in women who make
chappathis, clad in silk saris and one kilo of gold ornaments?) and they die when some guy sort of smiles, at
them. (‘Sarasan’ in Iss pyaar ko kya *%^*^%&^%) J (The more would be in this
type. )
Well for one thing, when you say that a woman can’t keep
secrets… well… that sort of is truth. I’ve seen men who can keep secrets ‘like a boss’ and also MEN who suck at it
worse than any woman I’ve ever seen. But in real, a woman can keep a secret if
she really wants to;in a way even a Sherlock can’t get it out of her.
And then SOME women are tell-tales in a way(generally) men
cannot even dream of lowering themselves. I hate to say this, but it is common
knowledge that women talk behind other women’s backs… And they do that even to
their friends. The most interesting thing of all would be the accusations- the
epitome of silliness. Having studied in a women’s college made me realize that
one can fight(pss..pss… cold war) over a piece of bread, a gold chain, an
attire, a stone, a grass blade, a pillow cover, a glob of spittle, Mars, Moon,
Aashiqui 2, Virat Kohli, blah and blah and my dears, BLAH! (these above said
characters are well, imaginary and they just serve the purpose of demonstration)
SOME of them take
in everything- I mean, the physical details. The cut of the apparel, the ornaments,
the material, even the box in which you
bring lunch in will not be spared, and
after proper scrutinization delivers the
much feared verdict… “oh! She’s such a cheapo… Look at that top..”
UFF! There had been circumstances where I had just got so
bloody sick of this excessively oestrogen filled atmosphere.
But again, when you attempt a generalization you can very
well go sadly wrong. Because I have seen women who have those, no different
from the “so-called” manly attributes generally applied to men but then again,
are sadly absent from them these days. A rocking sense of humor, propriety and
a social sense. A habit of perpetual news paper reading. A gift of a gab,
smartness and calibre. I don’t even understand why these were originally
attributed to men. No clue! Out of ten men of my generation, 1 might have these
(hopefully)and the remaining will have “awwieeee…..” and “kili poyeee”( with the figurine of Bob Marley
but lacking in any kind of his sense, whatsoever. That poor man must be rolling
in his grave) to offer. (sigh!)
So, dear men and women, generalizations and pinpointing can be
tricky. My dear men out there, before you generalize women, please give a thought about your breed.
You guys are getting excessively, dangerously simple to generalize as well…
P.S… ( You should try to restrain from it if you find a
woman who talks behind her friends’ backs and watches Hindi soaps.Cheers to
that!)
