Disclaimer: If you smell sexism, trust me, you are a hardcore sexist by heart. Kindly get your egos shrunk, minds broadened, maturity upped and irritabilities switched off. Freedom of expression is what I was born with.

--

They say science can explain everything – from falling apples to shining trails of light in the sky. But lately I have been bewildered by some of the greatest wonders of the world. The phenomena I’m talking about are not new at all. In fact, as impossible as it might sound, they date older than Shit-Rukh Khan. These have been an integral part of our daily lives, intertwined in such a manner that we no more marvel at their subtle existence.

These are some of the greatest mysteries. Unnoticed. Untalked about. Unsolved. But ultimately baffling.

One. I hear the fairer sex is sick of the better sex staring at their so-called assets in full daylight. If caught in the process, the “starer” from the curious sex is given so cold, mean and snobbish looks by the “staree” from the presumptuous sex that the former from the victimized sex has no option left but to un-stare. But would anyone care to explain why would the dumber sex adorn the pre-mentioned assets with t-shirts that sport a. catchy quotes b. crazy fonts c. flashy colours d. all of the above and beg for attention?

Two. Our action hero is waiting impatiently for her girl on their date on the thirty-second floor of a Rajasthani fort in Mumbai. He has the glow of fresh blood sucked out (khoon pee jaunga!) from the one-eyed villain who murdered his father in the last century. Back home he has a younger sister knitting on a wheelchair and a mother dieing on a shabby bed. And the heroine arrives. In no more than five minutes, we find the couple singing duets and dancing acrobatically!!! My common sense fails me everytime I try to find logic behind Bollywood couples “dancing” on dates. What’s this fetish? I mean, there are a million things to do (by the doer sex) or talk (by the talker sex). But why, of all the things, sing and dance?

Three. If that’s not all, the amazingly secluded terrace suddenly gets crowded by twenty people dancing behind the two (strictly equal number of males and females dancing in pairs as if it’s a group-date). I wonder who first thought of this masterstroke of placing uncles and aunties behind our couple on their date!! “Dance, India, Dance”!!

Four. Ever wondered when you accidentally enter the ladies’ section while ambling around in a shopping mall and some ladies’ tees catch your fancy? Almost all the quotes are always full of pseudo-attitude and inexplicable airs around them. Have you ever seen a guy sporting “Here comes trouble” or “I will date everyone but not you”. No. I mean, what’s with this show of unwarranted air? What exactly does the show-off sex want to show off? If you are your “dad’s bad girl”, be. Why do you have to stick in our faces? I’m sorry, babe, but if your t-shirt says more than you can pull off about how independent and obsessed-with-freedom you are, you are no better than Paulomi 2.0 from MTV Roadies 6.0!!!

Five. Another huge mystery is how some of the people from the inexplicable sex turn total sluts post-breakups. Swearing by their guys’ names when in a relationship, how can they find comfort in every damn pair of arms that comes their way? Apologies if all this hurts you, but all I can understand is that you were always a hippie by heart smothered by a relationship, the end of which not only provides you with sympathies from all quarters but an all-encompassing license to flirt. Why did you pretend to be in a sincere relationship, then? I feel happy for the guy who broke up with you.

There are a few more like:

· Why didn’t mythological characters have surnames back then (ala raVun Gupta)?
· Why does a doctor’s handwriting always suck?
· Why is the class name always written in Roman numerals on the classroom door? (IV ‘C’)
· Why don’t people remove air travel tags from their luggage?
· Why don’t we hear songs like “Thaade rahiyo, o baankey yaar” or “Na na kartey pyar tumhi se kar baithe” anywhere else but while playing the Indian game of Antakshari?
· Why doesn’t anyone else smell foreign hands of Cadbury-Kraft in the weakening of Indian economy when a one-rupee coin is replaced by an éclairs candy pan-India?
· How on earth did Shit-Rukh become an actor?!!??!!
· What is the purpose of KKR’s existence except merchandise-selling?
· Why do you go through all this shit on my blog?

You are welcome onboard if you are either of James Bond, Indiana Jones or ACP Pradyuman. The mysteries are unending. The answers I want. Feel free to take a shot in the space provided below.

  3. i am going to solve some of the mysteries that u have never been able to understand.
    one- the starer sex will anyway continue staring so the staree sex thought it better to be in an illusion that its the t-shirt that is being stared and nothing else.
    two-no answers.
    three-the actor is bad at dancing.he shudn't feel embarrassed.so the dancers behind him. and these dancers refuse to dance without a partner so the dancers behind the actress. and so equal numbers.
    four-accidentaly!!:O
    five-wen guys are in luv they swear they wont smoke and drink and after a breakup they completely turn into dev-d-asses.gurls have better things to do than to waste their lungs and livers.
    #docs dun remember the spellings of the prescribed medicines and to hide this, they write in an unreadable handwriting.
    #ppl dun hav so much of tym to remove their travel tags..everyone dusnt hav as much tym as u hav.
    #u say more in ur blog than a two hour long conversation where i have to do all d talking. so i read ur blog. dun know about the others.

    1)I guess it was predecided(dey were gods fr god sake!!dey knew every thing!)dat ppl wud be named after them thousands of years later(well,ok, if not ravan,then surely ram,shyam,etc,etc),so they left out da surnames to avoid confusions later.
    2)giv dem a break!!dey work dere asses off for so mny yrs to bcm docs...we cn allow dem bad handwriting at least
    3)its simply to make mathes luk important:P
    4)well, dat just makes identifying ur luggage on da conveyor belt easier:O
    or may be, it just gives a feel of personalising ur stuff lyk a tattoo thing...hah(ok,dat was crap)!

    6)ooo!!! dis ones interesting...but who cares(altho we sud)...dey r tasty...and we r humans...da most greedy,eva so tempted,blinded by our lust(ya, evn "candy lust") breed alive on dis planet,no??!!
    7)COME ON!!! he became a superstar,not an actor...nd I think it rly proved to be gr8 fr u atlst...did u eva know u were capable of such pure hatred!!!(nd by da way, ur mean to him,nd u seem to njoy it:P)

  19. I happened to read this at the Devil's hour aka 3 a.m. and was about to burst into laughter when I realised there were others asleep in the house. Well, it is evident you faced one of those don't-you-stare-you-filthy-little-psychopath looks. It is just that you do not happen to mention it here considering prestige issue...hehehe, just kidding.

    Let me tell you. Girls, of all the existing species, have tendency to be trying all the irrelavant, out of MIND (ooops...thats the tragedy) and comatosed stunts. Just ignore if you think you can't get anything out of it but don't miss an opportunity because that's what they want. ofcourse, not all. Few have vowed to compete with us, and I actually admire such types.

  20. Dear VKG,
    Each creature is attracted to their own brand of mysteries. Good luck with yours.
    Your writing as always is a source of great amusement and pleasure and thanks for that.

  44. Don't know too much about the mysteries of the "fairer sex" to answer the first few q's . My "education" is continuing....

    To ans the some of the latter ones -
    Doctor - Coz if they prescribe the wrong medicine they can always blame the pharma shops for not having read the prescriptions properly
    SRK - To take advantage of the prevalent stupidity in some of the Indian audience and also the Indian audience's inclination to view crap under the name of entertainment
    KKR - Serves as a great horror film/tear jerker flick for the male/female KKR supporter !
    Last one - U give the perfect reads for an idle jobless mind...

  45. Laughing out loud, Varun. That will be it.

  46. @ Pathikrit: Best of luck with the education with the lesson-teaching sex!

  60. Too many comments for me to read them all.

    But I can tell you why doctors' handwriting sucks.

    Basically, it doesn't. The only reason we don't understand it is because we are unfamiliar with the words they write. If you were to get anyone else to write those same things, it's very likely that you still wouldn't be able to understand it too well. Now, of course, this is not true in all cases. In some cases, some doctors' handwriting really sucks. But in general, if you take an average person and make him write medicines' names, you are likely to find the handwriting illegible.

    ReplyDelete
  61. My dear friend, I beg to differ! :P

    Almost all the doctors I have visited and I havent visited a lot, scribble anything they feel like. Its like practising autographing!

    ReplyDelete
  62. i know some docs wid beautiful handwriting..
    someone once told me that i shud be a doc coz i have such a bd handwriting

  63. You should have! Sab kuch sahi hota!
