Femininely Macho......can outwit females by their vanity cases
Two days ago, I was going through one of the articles about Gordon Brown’s exposed vanity case and his make up regime. I felt it to be a bit funny…..just ask him.......he might be red hot & even his make up wont be able to hide it. I was really amused at the detailed description the male author has provided …..it seemed as if he might have tried some of the beauty products himself.

It reminded me of the time when I was a hostler during my senior secondary. I still remember very well that how our PTI had suspended a boy from attending the classes of Physical education for about a week …………..just because his beautician had threaded his eyebrows too an extent that they looked like arch’s drawn with a sharp HB pencil. The poor boy was grounded for a week …………………though I am sure he might have thanked the stars that he was not asked to run 15 rounds of the big school ground………..which was the favorite punishment of our macho PTI.
as if it was a national news.....How mean of us. believe me I don’t lie,its just that sometimes my imagination runs wild which is as rare as seeing a camel desperately trying to make his way through Delhi's traffic. Though Mr. Xprsns nick name had nothing to do with any of his unusual habits which qualified him to a direct entry in Agra's mental hospital ......contrary to his name he was always expresionless. We were taken aback when he recommended his home made pack of fuller’s earth (multani mitti) & some other peculiar ingredients to Deepanjali, my best friend.
He insisted - “Deepanjali, belive me the usage of my pack followed by Ever youth’s orange peel off shall make your skin soft and blemish free, just like mine”. “Hey! Why are you guys laughing”-he quipped bit shyly………
He sounded much more like a fair & lovely commercial……..….too girlish, isn’t it.

“I am sorry, I won’t use it and after all I don’t want to compete with you in the forthcoming beauty pageant” Deepanjali had replied just the way she used to with a glint of mischief in her eyes. She added
-“I will prefer to clap for you while you are being crowned”

These are not the only instances which make me feel that –‘males love to look good & secretly use beauty products’. Somehow accepting this truth is hard for them as it doesn’t gel with their Macho image. Males do have a skin, they too can get a sun tan & even pollution can also affect their skin. So it’s not a big deal if they use some of the skin care products.
But believe me it really becomes funny when you think that some of the males even apply foundation, compact, concealer etc. I will rather call them Feminine Macho’s and believe me I shall love to see one in real life…….I wonder what this new clan of ultraaa -metrosexuals look like.

“F” Encyclopedia’s………………What’s that?


‘Hey! Babes How you doing?” the guy with a spiky hairdo beamed. “Fucking bad….., this bloody heat sucks man” came a husky reply from the gal wearing purple colored lenses that matched her equally purple nail paint.
Oh! What a horrible color to wear on such a sunny day when you can just make an oamlate by breaking an egg on your palm.
I thought to myself which I often do in public.This was the fourth time I came across the wild usage of ‘F’ terminology that too within a week’s time. More interestingly all the user’s who came under my scrutiny were females either at the metro stop or while I was taking a short cut from Janpath or while shopping from East Delhi Mall . We being humans tend to note something which is unusual and so do I.
Now you will ask what’s so unusual about it?. I somehow don’t have brains big enough to understand the logic behind the casual usage
Even some of our college going guys & birds seem to have done their Masters in ‘F’ology. I don’t know from were they got their classes & degrees. And some of our hunks are mobile encyclopedias of this ‘F’ mania.

Though I sincerely advocate
“Equal rights for both males & females” but somehow can’t digest it when I hear those F words from a fair sex. May be it’s the deep rooted ideology of being Indian that expect girls to be soft-spoken and sophisticated or its that……I just don’t know. .

First time......always stays


This is my first blog.........too perplexed to pen down anything.......just putting down some words....phrases....sentences......and than erasing them. I think that this happens with every new blogger, its just that some accept it & some are too self obsessed to do so.


There are so many things which happen to us for the first time. Its the first time which is always special & remains in our heart forever............................. whether it was your first tricycle which made you the most sought under five......................your first crush during your kindergarden days with whom you shared your lunch & candies..................your first pocket money which made you Bill Gates in your own eyes......................the first time when you bunked the class, got caught & not to mention what was the after effect.........................your first board exam which made your heart beat faster & brain numb...............your first day in the college & how you desperately tried to escape from the ragging ordeal........................your first date when you thought you should have carried an Oxford or collins Dictionary to avoid that obvious loss of words.
