Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise!
why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-)

in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!'

in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner!

in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o)

but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well...
1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!!
2. had to try the cold coffee at Drift... not bad at all...but cud be better...
3. I was to learn not to live in the world in my head!!!

:-)

I've met a few like that, but with a totally different upbringing - non metro, non corporate, and an earlier generation. This one takes the cake though!!

A friend's contribution...

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

If Only's...

Isn't everyone's life incomplete without at least a few of these 'If Only's...'? :-) life would be absolutely stupidly boring if we didnt have those moments of reflection where we could go 'if only...' followed with a deep deep heartfelt sigh!! To me having these moments reassure me - tell me that am not just human, but also a person capable of learning from my past... If Only i had not given up easily on the first job offer i got.. just because my family didnt want me to stay away alone... If Only I had persisted and learnt singing the way i wanted to... just because i was too lazy to do the bus trips to mandi house... If only i had learnt swimming early enuf.. i wud have enjoyed australia that much more... If only i hadnt made an ego issue out of a simple fight with a friend... and instead gone back and apologized... If Only the guy i had a huge crush on - reciprocated my feelings... ;-) and so on and so forth... am sure its easy enuf to guess that the lis...
