Women - Here is how u can understand Men !!!!!

We laugh! We cry! We need to be alone! We want to be your hero! We want to have a boy’s night out and watch senseless sports over and a Oscar nominated foreign film. ! We would sit right next to you and wouldn’t’ hear a thing you say! We would drive for hours in circles, but would consider it an insult to stop and ask you for a direction

– so here are the secrets men wish their women would knew to keep things smooth ....…


The Secrets Men wish you knew…

1.I just may lie to make you feel good. Don’t be angry about this. You really weren't looking for the truth anyway.

2. When a man says, "I really love the way you look in long hair.” that isn't your cue to go out and cut it short. And when he says "You look beautiful.” don't argue with him hoping he'll repeat himself. . If you think you’ve gained a couple of pounds, then you are right. Don’t ask us and then spend half a day arguing over that and finally conclude by saying actually " I look slim " !

3. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present. And if we picked up something amazing in the first year, just for the record - the relationship is never going to be like it was in the first three months when we were going out,eating out, partying and appraising each other.

4.Don’t ask him what We’r thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics which may sound Greek or Latin to you. He may not be thinking of you! So learn to live with it. Tough, but a reality!

5. Shopping is not a sport! Anything you wear is fine. Really! You have enough clothes and shoes! And, I fell in love with you & not an Cleopatra /Aishwarya rai look-alike. Be practical.

6.Yes, we do think about sex all the time. Hugs and hand –holdings are welcome.Roughing up our hair and smoothing our faces will arouse us.And it doesn’t mean that we want to get laid. But then its like you can always have sex with us any time,we are ready!

7. Never ask us to pick out your outfit. We will invariably get it wrong and make us even more late. And if I offer my help while you're getting ready, it means you’re late.

8. Most of us own three or four pairs of shoes – so what makes you think that we would be Einstein’s when it comes to choosing the right pair of glossy pink out of the eight odd pink shoes which would look good with your dress? It just painful yar.

9. Not all men answer questions in one syllable. And, ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ are perfectly acceptable answers.

10. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it to be done not both. And when we still screw up, go ahead and tell us -- once more.

11. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don’t work. And if you have to speak, just make sure that it’s during the commercial break!

12.To be told how manly we are when we fix something. Even if we're only changing a lightbulb, fawn over us! Nothing makes a guy feel like more of a man than when his woman hands him a cold beer and looks at him like he’s ‘god’.

13. Fast food for dinner every once and a while. You know how much it sucks to diet and exercise, so when we're on some kind of fitness program, throw us something sinful and we would be singing all the way through your praises..

14. And women wearing those revealing outfits,Skinny costumes, modern helpful uplifting bras and low-cut blouses / tops lose their right to complain about having their's being stared at.When something is shown its impossible and not an etiquette to leave it unnoticed.Its just a basic manners ..

15. We don't ask for directions because we believe that if Christoper Colombus didn’t need directions, and neither do we.


Learning from others experiences is a good sign... " idhellam naan enga veetula irukara kalyanam aaana periyavanga, friends, collegues, nighbours ellaraiyum paaathu kathunda vishyam.... "

Idealist at 20 and Realist at 40 ?

At 20 you did want to save the country .
At 40 you did be happy if you could save a part of your salary.
A realist transforms into a diplomat .. Then becomes indifferent .. Then becomes an epitome of selfishness. The issues which thwarted and killed him at 20 are juicy topics of discussions at tea table , during morning walks and short air trips. The discussion is about strategies and intelligence with absolutely no emotions attached.

I am angered by this attenuation of instincts especially those related to the country and the policies of the government.And I wonder if I did become indifferent soon. And if I did be satisfied with a handsome pay check and a luxury car 20 years hence.

Ever since childhood I had a strong patriotic feeling . I was taught at 7 that India was a superb country . It had many rivers flowing .. Great mountains at the north and surrounded by 3 oceans in other directions.. .. India has a brilliant democracy .. And the country has 15 languages .. And diverse variery of cultures ..

I was a fool to believe it all ... And probably a fool to continue to believe the same ... You see still i am an idealist ..But slowly coming in terms with the reality.. That it is a crazy country .. With some crazy politicians ruling it .. Especially by people who dont give a damn to the country or the democracy or the people.... People mocking idealists like me ...

As if to betray me .. To hurt me and humliate me .. To make me understand .. To yell " Hey Grow Up"

* The Lok Paritran Party in the city split .. Reasons being Caste and Monetary misunderstanding . The so called young politicians trying to woo the upper middle class Chennai Split.. And Then reactions are " hey Cmon they are also politicians ... Thts how it is ... Cos even that involves money " .. Thank U guys .. I am still an idealist .. But still trying hard to become a realist.
* The Reservation issue .... I really dont know which side to take .. Dont know who is correct ..But I am supremely confident that the efforts of all the politicians is not with a inherent good intention . When it comes to issues like this individualism loses .... Hail pluralism .... Concentrate on the vote banks .... Lets forget the genuine , smart deserving system ... Lets forget the rural deserving students requiring uplifts ....Lets order more seats in Colleges as if we are ordering a birthday cake ... Lets make some complex useless strategy which never gets implemented and no one gets benefited .....
* One kg rice @ Re.1, free colour tv's, Car & automobile prices are reduced.. wow! whomsoever is at the helm have fullfiled the people's needs. Infact all the promises made during the elections campaigns have been acomplished as said... Fate = 1Kg rice has not been given in all parts of the state. Free colour TV's distributed are only to few selected minimal % of the population, Car rates have come down for good but how is it going to help the maximum % of population in our country who still uses the Govt. Buses, bycycles and heir own limbs ? wht about the consumer good's rate which has been going up and up rather than coming down........

Wont it be a good promise to announce that a free " NANO " car for all the family as per the ration card list in this elelction if whomsoever comes to the power ? :)

wow INDIA is raising!
The answers we get for all these and many more queries is ;

* We will play dirty politics .. Your job is to sit back and enjoy it like a prime time tamil soap ....Common public sooo much free entertainment @ free of cost & still u all complain . Only god can satisfy you. We have done all most all that is possible in our country's administration. Actually you public are very greedy... :)

I still have hopes .. Hopes to make a difference in a little possible way some where ..." We shall overcome some day ...."

When the gap between the idealist and realist will be bridged ?

Computers and girls ???

Computer games. It would be my last but one option for entertainment in this world.No variety of Comp game has enthused me.Though i have played only a little of them and continue to play only a little.Nothing from the ever dragging strategy games to the action packed thriller stuff.Few thriller one's are extremely good one still I remain totally ignorant and disinterested in them.To me .... "These are supposed to improve your quick thinking & reflex (inside the sub conscious mind ). Play ...." Owing to such thoughts I have installed a variety of games...But all games failed to electrify me.initially they attracted and lured me in but then in the later stages it was a another game.... Some times I wonder if I would pass out as a decent computer knowledge grad without playing these games... The thought still terrifies me.

Computers ........ being one of the allied subjects in commerce group too along with economics plus mathematics . It is surely not a male dominated group.But without second thoughts it is a boy's playground.Girls have not much business there.From the varieties of books written( the authors make it a point to use only "she's") to the wide range of computer games..(not to forget the mags ...) there is a male stamp.Not to forget the jokes cracked and the illustrations made..

And how many girls love their computers? how many girls have played the maxpayne or NFS I really don't know about the number of girl geeks in the top universities.But here in my college / workplace less than a percentage of girls give a damn to their computers.Forget finding geeks.....

I sometimes wonder if girls are competent enough to be good programmers / animation specialists. I bet they can master the software engineering process......... But how many hard core girl programmers can we count ??I think in a straightforward manner and can do a decent amount of logical and rational coding . But when it comes to innovation and algorithm writing ..... ha ha ha ........ OK I am not a geek.

Girls who fiddle.Can girls even fiddle ?? I cannot. Not because I am scared or anything but I simply dont bother. I have sat through many endless sessions where guys ( friends ) discuss some installation or some graphics card or some games or some troubleshooting process
(courtesy debugging commitee ).I always had to remain uncomfortably silent for a long time.

Have I landed up in the wrong place???? I am sure I have not . I love all that I study.I enjoy mathematics a little but love my computer.Still I cant paly games or fiddle ........

Disclaimer: This is not some piece of an article written to provoke female rights ( or the like ) . These are genuine thoughts of a guy who has studied a little bit of Comp Sci... and wonder y girls dont speak abt computer games instead of those dumb tv serials........
