MEN are from MARS and WOMEN from VENUS



Well after years of studying the human psyche , mostly observing my kith and kin and some of my girlfriends here in Burla(mark the word is girl-friends , not to be interpreted in any other way) I hav come across very striking characteristics that tend to add some more valuable material to the ongoing men vs. women debate.
Of course in an engineering college you come across many kinds and shades of people....there are snobbish ones, greedy ones, perpetual bankrupt ones(like me),garrulous and overtly friendly ones and the list goes on , but there is only one species that stands a class apart from the mundane and lowly existance of ours and that is the .....GIRLS.....

"You can glorify them, you can villify them , but one thing for sure you can't ignore them".

While our morning often starts with a customary trip to the tea stall in pyjamas looking like deranged victims of a lunatic asylum, i daresay that the girls all wake up early in the morning and have their customary round of prayers and then would follow their own timetables like clockwork.Yet on the other hand the sight you would see in the boys hostel just near class time would be people rushing from bathrooms, frantically ruffling through their hair and practically bathing in their deodrants....

Yet a cursory glance at the girls going to classes would be a picture of serenity...all calm and composed , with their bags, looking all prim and proper and smelling like my mothers perfume box.........and every one of them looking like little rays of sunshine.

Why is it that while we boys revel in wearing unwashed drab , half torn clothes giving the slum dwellers of Kirba tough competition.........the girls take pride in their wardrobe , their clothes all washed and scrubbed clean and reeking of detergent.when i am in my pyjamas , i would be easily mistaken for any one of the wardboys in our hostel , yet girls look hot in their PJ's.....of course girls look hot with anything on .........The sight of a 10 day stubble would be considered manly for us and yet girls take pride in their washed and plaited hair.
Is this some kind of foisted ideology or does the blame rests solely on our genetic make up ............. i mean come on its only the difference of one letter in our genes ...men are XX and girls are XY...how can we be so different??The perfect case study for aliens coming from outer space ...........to them it would look like we men are one of the greatest accidents of the Big bang......a mistake in the orderliness of the cosmos.............

Coming back to the martian versus venusian issue.....a look at their notebooks would give all the thermodynamics laws a run for their money...............It is said that the entropy of the universe always tends to increase , but a glance at any girls lab record would deny this unquestionable truth............

Awe,amazement,kudos,bravo,appreciation are some of the adulatory adjectives you would be bestowing on the girls after a chance meeting with their lab records....their records a tapestry of blue,green,red,pencil shadings ....and colours that even eluded DaVinci. Drawings all done to the dot, calligraphy so precise you would be astounded that the human hand is capable of such beauty ............I doubt that the colour pens they use in their records is even availible in the market.......one of my branch mates Shraddha, who is the sole notes provider during our exams...in a nutshell a lifeline in our exams.......writes simultaneously with three pens.....scrolling back and forth between pens like an expert cowboy........

well sometimes it gives us boys an inferiority complex just looking at their copies........."owners pride neighbours envy".After reading this blog i hope the girls would feel the plight of us poor aesthetically challenged boys and atleast let up on their artistic display.SOS girls......

And then coming to their dietary habits again we would find a huge awning gap."OOOh such oily stuff" was the reaction of a friend, Shobhnaa when i offered her a sweet all dripping in syrup.To me it was a cullinary gift from the gods and she looked at it as if i was offering her a glass of hemlock to drink.GOD something is seriously wrong with the girls.

While we boys would gobble up anything from any roadside jaunt, girls wouldn't be caught dead eating from a roadside dhaba.They prefer to hang out in all swanky and air-conditioned places oozing of sophistication.My friend "Mridu" who used to tease me by regaling me with her dining experiences at swanky resturants ,was a recent victim of jaundice........who has the last laugh now Ms. Prim and Proper ??????

But one thing you cant deny is the ayailibilty of cash with the girls....call it their hoarding mentality or just plain miserliness , any randomly chosen girl would have enough cash on person to throw a party for her friends....come to the boys and it would require a borrowing spree from atleast five close friends along with forgoing on our snacks allowance to sponsor a birthday party...once again my sweet friend Mridu bailed me out of a tough financial crunch by lending me a staggering Rs.600 for my new specs. one phone call , with some soppy emeotional story did the trick...............one more observation lesson for the guys .........weave up an emotionally touching story about your cash strapped existance it loosens their purse strings.i tried it on my sister as well as on Mridu and they took the bait ,hook -line -and sinker.

If i would elaborate on the ongoing Girls versus Boys issue it would fill up an entire encyclopedia of psychological contrasts,and would earn me opprobium from my entire female fan following........so i take the opportunity to end my blog while all the girls who have been reading my blog till now must be devising ways of killing me in my sleep for my comic portrayal...........HELP GUYS
