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

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business ...

Being single at 35

“How does it feel?” – is a question some of the long-married friends of mine have asked me from time to time and more so recently. Maybe now that some of them have started approaching their 10th anniversaries – maybe its playing on their minds more than before! :-) And I have always believed that the old idiom of ‘grass being greener on the other side’ applies to women more than men!! We always seem to want or at least be intensly curious about whatever’s out of our reach! But to get back to the question being asked… how DOES it feel being single at 35? I don’t know if I can answer it actually – becoz then I need to know how else it could have felt at 35!! It feels bloody normal to me right now… :-) Maybe not what I expected it to feel at 35 – but this is how it is. It feels strange sometimes to have friends talk about their 9 yr old kids… It feels pretty normal to have enough free time to do what catches my fancy… It feels normal to never complain about ‘me’ time… Its strange to come ...
