Tic Tic Tic......

When winter comes on with its full force, you aren’t left with much of venturing out unless its going half a mile to watch a Man Utd match with fellow red devils. On a much more brighter side, it gives you a chance to observe all the lovebirds coochie-cooeing in front of your eyes(HAIL IM’s) rather than prying away in privacy if and when given a chance. A fact struck the other day: More than 50% of the people in my hostel wing i.e. my fellow batchees, are “committed”. Okay now this won’t be a blog about the usual things that couples do when they are newly committed, Triple H took that headon and so did Lefty earlier, this would just be a series of abstracts pertaining to the psyche of the male mind towards a female especially where the big old “relationship” is involved. A word of advice for my female readers (Boy am I deluded!): Viewer discretion adviced.

The Narcissist got committed recently which sent the ripples of cupid back and forth. His own rendition of his “ek chhoti si love story” sounded clichéd enough to make a K-serial. Woh pehle takrar, phir ek doosre ko ignore maar, phir inkaar aur (inevitably) phir ikraar! When asked if the legendary symptoms of "Dil ki dhadkanein tez hona?, Raaton ki neend udna?" indeed happened, he replied in a negative. And yes in general, committed people just because of that tag think they are experts on relationships so as a footnote a speech on “There is no such thing as a true love.” was given.

The scene now shifts to the hostel canteen where it was the turn of Ninja to display his ideas (or rather the lack of them!). No sooner had he asked about the latest message and call rates doing the rounds that I understood where this was heading. Not waiting for my cue (I don’t even know MY call and sms rates!) I aked “Arrrrreee kaaaaaauunnn hai! Hamein bhi bata do!”

“She’s already committed!”

“That’s my boy! Go for her!”

“No its nothing like that, I just feel that talking to girls helps you improve your communication skills!”

(You could have heard the crickets chirping but even they were silenced by the profoundness of the statement.)

So you see, there are things more than what meet the eye! Although I admit for all my open mindedness, this is one opinion I am still having difficulty in comprehending.

Mr. Mittal rightly dubbed by B-Pot as the “torchbearer” is a cut above the rest. “I mean I don’t know…..initially I thought nothing but then yes! I think….what should I do?”. The “…..” aren’t something that I have left out for reasons of privacy or anything. These reflect the pauses (ranging from 2 seconds to 2 minutes often reaching 2 hours, sometimes 2 days) he takes between the same statement.

I know this wasn’t something which would help anyone get anyone or anyone get over anyone, I am just a silent observer, with a not so silent mind.

P.S.- In Triple H’s wise words “I am single and ready to jingle”. (Life should be fun from the other side too I guess!)

P.P.S.- If someone wants pdf version of “The Bro Code” (by Barney Stinson), contact me. It should provide an excellent read seeing as after having read this blog you have been awesomised.
