"You dont know how tough it is to be a girl!!"

"You dont know how tough it is to be a girl!!"

Is there any guy out there who has not heard this said to him? I guess none. So how tough can it be to be a girl? What's the bid damn deal?

I know it can be very tough for a girl if she has a male chauvinistic dad, sibling or spouse.. Hey you know what, the tides are turning nowadays.. Feminism is the ladies’ answer to male chauvinism.. Have you ever heard a girl who has just about everything from a wealthy dad to a voluptuous bod, complain how tough her life is, how all the guys are pigs and how femmes are better than pathetic males? But let’s not digress…

Now lets leave out the extremes, lets leave out the really marginalized females, the downtrodden ones and the ones that are really harassed by their male counter parts. Lets just consider our city grown, convent educated, chauffer driven Barkha Dutt types.
So how tough can their lives be? Really how tough?

You are born to wealthy parents.. Brought up in air-conditioned rooms, travel within town in a Honda City, travel between towns in second A-C or Jet Air, hang around in Malls, Multiplexes and boutiques, munch on pizzas and ice creams, end up doing a cool course in Visual communication or Sociology (After all you don’t HAVE to get into a job like us) and to delay marriage you ask your dad to get you admitted into a fledging MBA institute that poses to be the next IIM.

In the end if you don’t end up with a job, its still ok because you are a GIRL. Your parents can always say,” We are looking out for a proper alliance for her”.. Imagine how it would be if a post-graduate boy sits at home without a job.. Can the same excuse be given?

So what is it that makes life tough for you girls? Is it pregnancy? Well it’s just 1 year, after that it’s the dad that has to struggle for a life time to provide for the kid.. So get over it! Is it your monthly botheration? You are welcome to exchange that with our hair loss and having to scrape our face with a blade (shaving) almost everyday.


So guys if you hear the Barkha Dutt types complain that life is tough on them, just ignore their rant as perhaps a serious bout of PMS and move on. If not you will be wasting your time. Period.

Crap on Canvas!

Well, let me tell you one thing... I am a total novice when it comes to modern art. So when I heard some private art museum from India had paid £2.4 million (Yes! THAT much) for this, I was appalled.. Truly appalled. I cannot fathom what it means. I feel my 5th grade water colour work had more purpose than this... What IS this? Let's check an expert comment on THIS work of Art??? by Syed Haider Raza.

"The painting is one of [the] most ambitious works he has ever created as a homage to his homeland," Yamini Mehta, director of South Asian modern and contemporary art
Voila! So that’s a painting... Great! Finally I got it.. So that’s what this is supposed to be... That’s what this thing is feigning to be. Hmmm...
this just beats me... Call me what you want, but I certainly feel £2.4 million is way too much for this piece of...(sorry, work of Art)

Syed Haider Raza, I can only attribute this sale to some great Karma from your previous birth. This certainly is not a painting.. May be this is and this is, but Mr.Raza, yours certainly isn’t... No offense meant.
