What Men Want...

NDTV Good Times - Lounge
Host - Rajat Kapoor
Guests - RJ Malaishka, Puneet (model / actor), Deepak (ad guy)
Topic - The done-to-death conversation on Mars and Venus and their expectations from relationships

some gems from the show -
Till a man is single - he has no clue on what he wants...
When he gets married - he has all clues on what he doesnt want!!

Women treat men in their lives as a lifelong science experiment!!

Men want their women to make them feel better about themselves...

One of the best quotes of the show -
Actually what men truly want is for their women to join them at the gaming console and be a part of their world!! ;-)

Loved that bit completely...

The new age woman has been written so much about that its almost nauseating. on the other hand - poor men! so ignored and underestimated... almost written-off actually..

they get stereotyped as the helpless mutts who have been forcibly removed from their mom's aprons and are now aspiring to search out the Mary whose poor lamb they can become... :-) ...however before you bring out the hankerchief to wipe your sympathatic tears pls remember that the expectations men have from women in their relationships hasnt changed!! they show complete solidarity with their dad's on that front..
As one of the guys on the show put it - Like my Mom on the day am tired and like a beer drinking buddy on the day i have time!!

Grrrrrrrr...

Have always said that i have complete sympathy for men of our generation - they've grown us seeing women like their moms and then they get women like us as life partners!! ;-) i mean - its really inhuman isnt it?? how can it be realistically possible to adjust so much in one lifetime!!!?

:-)

Anyways - my take on what men want -
- Space
- Sex
- Someone sensitive to their needs

Come to think of it - life cant really be simpler than that - can it? My only submission to that is - just how comfortable is the new age man with a woman who might want exactly the same things??

Does someone have any opinions on this?

makes us men sound like guinea pigs! I agree "space" is required by both partners, but it is also the reason people drift apart..its a double edged sword

Reading is what saved me…

  Its funny to say or hear this but its true. In my life, books happened very early on in life and I got totally hooked to the escape they offered. Given our financial constraints growing up, books were a cheap way to get those kicks in life. A nearby renting library with an endless supply of M&Bs and Georgette Heyer’s and other similar ‘fluffy’ fiction – made it all super easy. I devoured books from the school library, shamelessly borrowed (and returned) books from friends and neighbors and never shied away from being seen with a book at the every juncture. Its truly a wonder that i didn' t get glasses at that stage in life! Books saved me from the stress that financial constraints bring to a child’s mind. Books saved me from the boredom that brings on negative thinking. Books told me that having and expressing emotions were totally fine – I could shed copious tears while reading without any fear of judgement. I could laugh out loud at a smart and sassy scene. Instead they...

Reunions or Reincarnation: Rediscovering the Lost Self

There’s something almost mystical about reunions. Not the regular catch-ups over dinner, but those epic, trip-based gatherings where classmates convene after decades, as if time were just a decorative illusion. In the past few years, with the slow but steady drumbeat of friends turning fifty, I’ve been both witness and participant in adventures that begin with nervous anticipation and end in riotous laughter—and a kind of rebirth that no ordinary weekend could bring. At first glance, reunions seem to promise little more than nostalgia, some bad dancing, and a few retellings of embarrassing teenage moments. But somewhere between boarding passes and late-night confessions, something extraordinary unfolds. Time collapses. The cracks and scars of the intervening years fade into the background, replaced by a wave of pure, unfiltered joy—like meeting long-lost parts of ourselves we never realized had gone missing. For those fleeting days, we become the version of ourselves that existed befo...

I miss you R...

 Is it ok to miss yourself sometimes?  I miss you R… I miss your innocence The belief that the world was a happy place That love was there all around All we need to do is to reach out. Just an honest open attempt And life will reward you If you worked long and hard It will even speak up for you I liked that about you You knew how to move on You knew that forgiving was the only way Not forgetting necessarily - but definitely letting go I liked how you gave it your all When you set your mind to it How you put the scared kid inside you to bed every night With a promise that the next day would be better The kid who cried in her pillow for years Just because she felt lonely and unloved You told her you were there to hold her hand Whatever else life throws at her, you wouldn’t leave her alone But now that child is overwhelmed  The loneliness is threatening to take it all What can she do to keep it at bay With the weight of responsibilities taking their toll So while I think of ...
