Women's day

This day marks the true tribute to one deserved half of the world. Yes, I do know there exists a third variety of the sexes. But innately they either feel like a woman or man. So my statement is justified. This day is a truly remarkable day. I have a special affiliation to it as you would see as I spell it out. Our office had a small celebration today for Women’s day. Celebrations such as these if celebrated at our homes or clubs are called occasions and in a corporate set they are called engagement activities. I seriously don’t know how people get engaged especially when they get pulled out of work to hear some clichéd words and eat some cake and samosa and effectively ruin 30 mins of the day. Without digressing much (you have no idea how much I would love to go on and on………. on this) let me bring you back to our inglorious (sorry Quentin) women’s day celebrations. Did I mention clichés before? So they go like this, one employee asks the other “how come there isn’t a Man’s day or Men’s day?”. The other guy brings all his wit to the fore and replies “Because the other 364 days belong to men.” Loud laughter. (Seriously??!!). The jokes don’t end there. All the women are asked to come to the centre. There is a delicious pine apple cake. But pause. The COO is now cracking a joke on what women want. (Bah!!) Loud laughter again. Dude, it’s the COO u better be laughing.

The eternal question, the power of women, the code tougher than the Da Vinci Code – what women really want. No man has cracked it so far. Do you know why? Because no woman has cracked it so far. Every woman is made unique but there is some serious telepathic interconnectivity when it comes to this. Every woman manages to confuse the man just the same way with some distinguishable patterns. I think the question is never what women REALLY want. The question is simply what women want. It is just that moment and that certain wish. Does she know how to get it fulfilled? Of course, what are you there for? When she looks at you with such dew in her eyes that makes you feel like Superman, did you totally enjoy it? Now wear your underwear on your pants and be ready to fulfill her 1412 wishes. (it is one more than the no. of tigers. They are no match to women’s wishes).

Coming back to our little “engagement activity” in office. Followed by the joke one employee decides to give a 2 min speech as to how important the role of women is in our lives. All the women who are ready to pounce on the cake patiently listen to it. After a series of encomiums one female employee decides to lighten the mood by this joke. She says “God created man and then created woman so that he could rectify all the mistakes he made with the first model. Hence the masterpiece.” Loud laughter. (what did u expect). I was going choke choke But today’s women’s day so they had their moment. Else I wanted to check with that God-woman- employee how come God made man first? Why do we have so few women who are CEOs and COOs? Why do we have so few women who could clinch power and rule states? The masterpiece seems to have some serious flaws.

The last few lines have totally portrayed me in chauvinistic (pig) light. I want to clarify. I am all for the women. I am a big fan of theirs and been so all my life. Afterall they are responsible for the intrinsic beauty of the world. If you are wondering why intrinsic beauty, that’s because someone said beauty isn’t the outer appearance it is what’s inside. I bet that was a woman. Then why do cosmetic companies do roaring business? By the time you read that last line I would have fled from the country. But I still want to clarify my point… I …love…..respect….affection…adulation….am serious…. When was I ever joking….. God, not again…… SAVE ME SOMEONE!!!

Where's the money, honey?

Not much has been going in India apart from demonetization recently. Suddenly people are intrinsically rich but actually poor. The amount of money in circulation has gone down significantly and the bank coffers have gone up by INR 5.5 lakh crores. This was primarily touted as an attack on black money but now it has slowly started disrupting everyday lives of people. http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/RNdxOHenVluYuLx4iCw4JO/Modis-new-strike-against-black-money-backfires.html  This gives an idea of the people affected the worst. They have produce which is not durable and they don’t have people to sell their produce to. People do not have money in hand to buy vegetables and one cannot swipe at a local market. The salaried class who are primarily reliant organized trade for their daily consumption are facing the least disruption. The majority are reeling under cashlessness. Some of the most affected people are 1.        Vegetable vendors in local mark...

Being Single

The single guy is such a demeaning proposition. Unless someone has a “Single now” status a single status especially for a guy is such a troubling state of being. Single as a relationship status means a guy who is currently not involved with anyone from the opposite or his own sex. It pretty much means the same to a girl and the argument may not be largely different but let us concentrate on the trauma of the guy here. Generally guys do not seek a single status. Everybody is born with this status and depending on the age at which the guy becomes cognizant of this fact that he is actually relationshipless he starts bracing up to move away from this status. But here is the trouble. The “what” of the trouble is known, the “why of the issue is also pretty much understood but the “how” of the trouble is a perplexing one because there is not one technique that leads to a relationship. Let’s examine the very natural way of getting into a relationship, love. This is probably defined as the firs...

The Dream

It is important to dream big to achieve something big. I heard this line in a recent interview of Sachin Tendulkar. There is so much power in this statement. That particular dream gave him all the will power to become the most respected sports icon of the country. It’s the dream, a vision that fosters us with a certain scene and people like Sachin dedicate their lives to see that moment become a reality. If you are wondering why am I boring you with such an obvious testimony of a personality that every second Indian adulates, then things are just about to get interesting. I am writing to this to address a certain set of people who don’t have a dream, a la me. I don’t want to be the VP of my Co. 30 yrs down the line. Infact I don’t want to be the VP of any company. I don’t believe in what I am doing. Hence I don’t know what I want. I don’t have any vision of what my future should be like. I don’t aspire to be any one. I would love to see myself being interviewed on TV. But in that progr...
