Femme !

Common Almost every day Male Banter!!!!

“I don’t understand you women”

“I don’t get what women want”,

“It’s so difficult to comprehend women”


For certain close people this would come as a shocker, considering I am labelled a “feminist” for life. I don't believe that I'm admitting this, but I must say that, I agree with men when they say it's really difficult to understand a woman! Being a woman myself, I don't understand them! Because it's more than just 2 hormones calling the shots for them! What that is, is something mankind or womankind will never know! From where does she get strength which is inversely proportional to her size? And how does she fucking do it!


For every time her crush got crushed when he made an appearance with his girlfriend/fiance/wife, she has the hope, faith and the patience to wait for her Kunal Kapor/Cullen who'd want to show her off in front of the entire world.


She may be someone who is super powerful (VP/CEO/COO), running a company making wise well calculated decisions but she'll be stupid enough to go against the worldly wisdom and practicality and actually reject a guy with an empire for a guy without one, only because he said he loved her!


For every time she cribbed about abdominal pains during PMS, she has the strength to go through hours of labour to deliver a life.


I know a lady who has been married, living under the same roof with her man ,knowing her relationship has ended, yet portraying a happy couple image for the society they live in.


For the times she sat and noticed her relationship crumble, she finds the strength to pick herself up within months and say no to go back to him when he is begging her to take him back!


For every night she cries herself to sleep, she has the guts the next morning to wake up fake a smile and pretend all is well at work.


For she would be nursing a broken heart herself and yet she has the courage to support, advice and be the strength for someone who is going/will be through similar turmoil.


She knows her love is unrequited, yet is at his beck a call whenever he needs her out of will and unconditional love. Even when that act is termed "Mahaan"


She may bear with an abusive husband, non supportive in-laws, live in a land infested with stranger’s miles away from home. Yet smile and not share her saga with a single soul.


For every girl who carries on with a shitty relationship, consoling herself, that maybe one day her guy would stop being the retard in tin foil and start being her knight in shining armour, there's another girl who has the guts to get out of a shitty relationship even if it means carrying the tattoo of your ex's initials all your life....and carrying emotional AND physical baggage of that failed relationship forever! (I really bow down to Deepika Padukone for this one!)


For every girl who grew up imagining a guy like Raj for her, she has the nerves of steel to make a compromise and marry a guy like Kuljeet. (You won't get this one unless you're a diehard Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge fan!)


For those, who have been dumped by their men for better partners , these women have found it in them to brave the world and look stunningly sexy than they were when in relation , whilst after years of breaking up the world in general still refers to their breakup saga as worst in the history.Eg Jennifer Aniston & Rekha .


They say, that girls are more emotional and get attached to things and people more easily than men, still, since centuries, they've had the heart to leave it all up one fine day to pick up another life at an age when a human stops learning, she's learning to live life anew!


She may not have the physical strength to hit you back, were you to hit her, but she'll have a heart big enough to wipe your tears were you to feel guilty about it or have an explanation ready to give to people if they ask her about the marks.


For every time she nagged you for not meeting/saying I-love-you/calling back/replying to a text a thousand times a day, she'll have the strength to keep a stone on her heart, a tearless smile on her face and be your strength while bidding a goodbye to you.


The laws of nature say that two women in a relation with the same man can never be friends and they are always vying for each other's blood, but then, in some remote corner of Earth, you'll find a Mariam giving her life so that Laila could make a new start and have a happy life for herself.... (So beautifully written in Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns)


She may be scared of cockroaches-lizards-rats, but when she comes to running a home/company/nation, she'll do a much better job than most men.... and she can multitask, rule with an iron fist, be the only MAN in a cabinet full of men, quasi run the country where there are 28 small countries in itself, a country in which she is considered a ’foreigner’ and do it with ease!


She may have the means,proof, resources and the audience to defame you in public by waging a war, but she won't....because even for a blabbermouth, silence, is sometimes golden. Your incorrigible ways may have cast “a malign influence” on her still she would find it in her someday to forgive you yet not forget.



I am who I am ~ WOMAN!!

So simple, yet so complex
so weak, yet so powerful
so confusing, yet so desirable
so damning, yet so wonderful

very subjective..
no right or wrong nor good or bad person in relationship.. both can be good people may be not for each other but that doesn't make either one bad..
anyways complicated topic..
