Happy Women's day!!

Today is women’ day and this blog post is tribute to all the women out there who have had a crucial impact in my life some way or the other.

I hardly believe there is any difference between men and women other than the biological structure (and of course make up!)

They say, silence is the blank canvas onto which the world of the work is drawn.

So as I sit here in the silence, facing the window and the tree outside, I see the two love birds, one shivering with cold, and another tilting its head and trying to kiss the shivering bird. I guess the shivering bird must be a lady- bird, cause well, men will be men after-all :P

Now, most people , mostly girls (especially women’s right activist) will consider it as a bad thing, they will call that bird a pervert, “dog” and what not. But what they don’t get is the bird is just trying to make the lady-bird happy. Poor bird doesn’t have any other weapon other than his beak, he doesn’t have a hand or laptop to write a poem for his beloved lady bird, he doesn’t even have money to take her to movie or something, and of course he can’t cook pizza for her, cause well, common, birds can’t cook :P

I am speaking for myself when I say, “guys are always misunderstood”. It has been the case with me throughout. People judge me (well, rather girls judge guys) too soon.

And despite of all this, there have been so many women who have stood with me throughout , there have been so many women who lit me up and in return I have tried to make them smile as much as I can, albeit a little “honesty” some times.

My mother – she has been the most supportive women I have ever come across. If the word “unconditional love” ever exists, its because of mothers. I have been a naughty child, a tough to handle kid and an expensive child as well, despite of everything she has stood with me and supported me throughout, now the term “that’s what mothers do” might seem apt in this case but it isn’t such an easy thing to follow and she has. And I know she will stay the same throughout my life. She is the perfect lady. She doesn’t gossip, she doesn’t plot evil plans like all those daily soap actresses. All in all, she is simple and she has taught me to be simple, loving and caring.

My sister- she has taught me how to fight, really. You are missing out on something if you don’t have a sister. You are missing out on those cute fights for chocolates, ice creams etc. sisters are like those nagging people in your life whom you love to have. Plus they give you a first-hand opinion about what girls will think about your display pictures and other such lame things.

My Aunts- Thank you for spoiling me, for real.  Be it the chicken xacuti they make, or the calls whenever they cook my other favourite dishes.  Aunts are the real reason I get tummy whenever I go to Goa for a vacation. They have been like my escape route whenever I have had silly fights at home. They are like my second home.

My cousin sisters- again, sister word is synonymous to fight and silliness. I can act all silly with them and still be sure they will love me. I act the most idiotic I have ever been, only with them. The weird selfies we take, the lame jokes we crack, it’s all been a wonderful journey having the annoying and silly cousins sisters around throughout. Also, they completed my journals whenever I needed them to. So, they aren’t that bad after-all :P

Granny- maternal and paternal granny, both are another reason I have been spoiled, again, when it came to food. My maternal granny with whom I used to say during my childhood days is the main reason I have become such a sea food addict, she used to feed me all kind of sea food daily. She used to put up with all my naughtiness throughout my childhood days and mind you I was hell of a mischievous boy. My paternal granny – as usual very caring, and supportive, and now a reason to go to village, to adore the nature and to adore her motherly love. The walks in our farms , troubling the workers and blaming it on her. Spoiling the water pump, robbing papayas and mangoes from our own farm along with locals. She knows its me, but she keeps quite. Cause she understands the thrill I get in robbing..;)

Girl friends/ flings/ crushes – okay, here comes the tough part. Now I need to be careful while putting up something here lest I may get killed (beware of the blue eyed pharmacy girl :P) but I am going to say this anyway. Thank you! , thank you for coming into my life and making me realize where I need to improve and where I should have done better. Thank you for making me realize that I deserve better, and in some  cases , thank you for making you realize that you deserve better too :P, I have been a bad person or may be I haven’t, I have been honest with my feelings or may be I haven’t. There have been memories, a lot of it actually, the beach drive, the night kiss, the back massage, the hotel lobby make-out, just to name a few ;) and there have been positives like the makeup/breakup lunch helped me find the best sea food restaurant in Pune where I visit every weekend now. I don’t want to ponder a lot of thoughts over this but what I do know is I didn’t lie to anyone, I didn’t personally hurt anyone for my own selfishness. We left each other (or mostly its they who left me) giving me reasons which didn’t seem valid, or seemed valid, this is one part where I get the most confused, and I have written duality, my brain gets sedated by the most duplex of thoughts ever. And still I am writing this paragraph cause may be in a way they shaped me into a responsible adult who I am now. They made me realize that its better waiting for the one rather than going into anything that moves (okay, that came out wrong, but you get my point right). They are the reason I have been single for over a year now (ironically) and I would rather fall for someone with whom I can get serious or else, not fall for someone at all. Stay single all my life, adopt a daughter , name her after my first crush and live happily ever after as a single father. #peace

Colleagues (office + college)-  I know I haven’t included the words friend here but that doesn’t mean these people haven’t been friends, these people have been my best friends and have made me smile often and in turn I have made them smile often. The laugh we have shared is immense and the small little things we have done for each other have helped me to stay happy throughout the days. I have always had girls in the group which I have got into whether in office or whether in college, and I have been lucky to get the most adorable, beautiful, caring and loving friends in our group, as well as my neighbors. Life has been too kind for me in this department. A girl in friendship group helps maintain a level of decency especially when there are 75 percent pervert guys involved around. A girl in a group limits the vices like alcohol/cigarettes which I despise. There are lot of such advantages. Thank you for being around you angelic friends, you people are the best. I have been in touch with most wherever they have withered away after college / school / work, and I am proud to have you people in my life, I must say.

Best friends- I kept this as a separate paragraph cause these friends have become so damn special that they are more like my family now. Their happiness has become mine and their sorrow has become my point of worry. I have known them for 4-5 years now, and the bond keeps getting stronger. The friend whom I have even had a classic HIMYM promise “if we don’t find anyone till the time we are 35, we have to end up together” and I will have no qualms why it won’t work out, we support each other, we stay in touch often, we know almost every thing about each other. They are not dumb, they are ones with whom I can never flirt, they are both mature and understanding women who both have been through a lot and have become so strong that nothing can break them. Best gift/ pleasant thing/ most motivational thing I have ever received has been given by them, a note which says that my novel will be a success and the Ganesh idol which hangs on the wall of my Room back in Goa. The memories I have with them is just too damn high. You know who you are, the two angelic creatures of my life, the best friends who will be with me throughout till the time I am grandpa or something. Only two such best friends, the both selfless pretty ladies who have been with me ever since we met, supported me throughout, without demanding a single thing, unconditionally, relentlessly, without misunderstanding me once. This women’s day I thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

This post might look a little emotional due to the last line in previous paragraph, but in truth I am not emotional at all. Don’t take this as my extra-explanative habit; this is more like me trying to increase the length of this post.

Oh great! Now the lady bird and the pervert bird are actually kissing, perfect!!

 Stop cursing me for leaving out so many grammatical errors and punctuation errors (I know there are plenty). You see , I am too lazy to go through all this again and edit it.  you read it at your own risk, not my fault :P

Okay, now I am typing bullshit and withering away from the very soul purpose why I wrote this post,

What was it?

Oh yeah!, happy women’s day.

P.S. I wasn’t drunk while writing this.
