To all dear women,


According to my grade seventh geography text book, languages change every two kilometers on this earth. In that case, there are, I don’t know how many languages in this world. (Though, yes, I shall be glad to know how many are there.)  People might be well versed in 8-10 of them. There may be some with numbers greater than 10 too. I do not doubt. However, out of 8-10, one or two might be their mother tongues. And then they might have been taught the rest of them. With this a thought arises in my mind. Is there any single universal language in this world?  Well I would say yes. No. No. It is neither French nor Spanish and not even English. It is a language which, I do not know about men, but at least women are fluent in. They are, in fact, born with an uncanny ability to converse fluently in it and drive the hell out of anyone! And that is- SARCASM! Kudos to all those who guessed it right!   

Here, girls! Please do not get me wrong! Ignore this if you find you don’t resemble these supernaturally extra-ordinary qualities. There is a special species of women in this world whose characteristics I describe here.
It appears to me as if they, simply, cannot put any sentence straight. They are great gymnasts and love to ‘circum-ambulate’ around gossips. They love to add all sorts of spices to the hearsays and talk about. They are interested in each and everyone’s family matters on this earth; ‘your problem is ours’! Charity does not begin at home for them. Freaking! They have got the strongest ears in this world and will catch and amplify even faint audible signals passing through a 5m thick wall- scenario where even x-rays fail. Can you figure that out? They are extremely disciplined and will barge on wrong places at ‘rightly’ wrong times. They are great observant and will never fail to notice what you wore today, where did you go out with whom on some un-important day, or who visited you at what time and at what place! God! You fail and they will be there to ‘morally’ support you, to ‘console’ you. You are unemployed, you are unmarried, then more than the parents, they will be worried about you; they will be there on their toes to give you mental ‘peace’. Ramdev babaji, I tell you, your job is at stake. These aunties are here to lend a ‘soul soothing helping hand’ to each and everyone on this earth.

If they were to fill ‘languages well-versed in’ column of a resume, then as per me, sarcasm would best-fit in. Correct me if I am wrong.

I think it’s high time our government decides to bring a law against these gossip obsessed nerds. It should specify the size of the nose which is allowed to peak into a neighbor’s place. Sarcasm has to be made a punishable offence for these douche ladies. Why can’t they call a spade, a spade? Or better, stay away!

This article of mine is dedicated to the womenfolk. Well, I am quite sure, that even after reading it, you will not change even by a fraction of the lowest percentage possible. But ladies, let’s confront! You know you are ‘gifted’ with this quality and have been getting ‘complimented’ for your ‘candid’ and ‘flabbergasting’ behavior since eons. But you haven’t and, I am sure, won’t ever pay any attention to all whatever they talk of. Correct? But for the sake of mankind can you just not call a spade, a spade? Please! If this happens, then world will be a happy place to live in again. Sue me if I am wrong.

Better than books?


People find me treacherously boring
Totally reserved and extremely uninteresting
I inquire and begin with my questioning
They argue and summarize their reasoning-
‘I am a person superlatively book-loving!’

This gives me a disappointment- utterly sheer
Though I find it really very queer
Problems with my books! Oh dear,
Accept this truth without any fear
Books are our best peer!

Here I showcase my reason
For being a bibliophile in every season
I put forward my explanation
Books free me of all my tension
And give me great satisfaction!

They do not argue, they do not ask-
Any return favor for any done task
The do not ditch, they wear no mask
They easily forgive, and break no hearts
They have no ego and do not expect rewards!

They exhibit great characteristics,
which make them so magnetic
Unlike humans, they aren’t sarcastic
Neither selfish nor shrewd diplomatic
Directly put, simply forward- they are so charismatic!

Little do I enjoy partying, seldom do I watch movies
I am not crazy for shopping nor am I like ‘typical’ ladies
I enjoy reading novels, getting puzzled solving puzzles
Find pleasure in newspapers, electronics and kernels
And my mind knows no bounds while reading astrals!

Whenever I am depressed, or whenever I am low
Whenever I am alone and I need one or two
When TV does not help, and also fails my piano
I always find my books- lying beside my pillow
Potter, Poirot and Whittaker- all in a row!

Books make us what we really desire
They direct us closer to what we aspire
Time will pass and things will expire
People will leave in our needs so dire
But my friend! Books will be there whenever we require!
