Redefining Abstractions: The same old rant..

The same old rant..

at 7:51 pm

"What kind guy would you want for yourself?"
This is one question that bugs me every now and then.
I am single and I am happy, doesn’t that seem digestible?

Anyways, coming back to the post, I was recently asked the same thing by my friend's fiance. It was a small get together and we all- the engaged friend V, her fiance M, another friend D and I sat chatting, this subject was brought up.
I mean why do you ask? lolz, the ideal answer should have been that he should be good looking, loving, caring, this- that and blah blah.. But tell me guys, the way people ask you for the specifications gives me funny thought that is it possible for them to get a custom made guy/ girl? (bother to drop your takes for the same)

D, instantly said that she wants the Raj of DDLJ. I know if I run a survey, 90% of the girls in India would say this.
Okay, tell me what was so good in Raj's character? Such irresponsible, such foolish, such illogical, and such creepy..
Since it was a movie, it worked. But reality bites. Who can spend a lifetime with that kind of a character? (care to debate?)

Besides, Raka has been generous again for the lovely award. Oh yes! Honesty is awarded :D

P.S. I am waiting for a right moment to pass away the awards, something grand :D

Nachi said...: being single and happy = killer body odor/ unstoppable diarrhea/ herpes infection, to the rest of the population of blissfully in love peeps. it's a big NO NO NOOOOOO!

forget being asked what sort of person you want? my life these days involves having to put up with 'set me up with someone na' requests. so i figured that i'd start a 'ready-made' partner firm. cash in on the plague. and yeah, we custom design partners. so pitch in your bid as well and we shall cook something up for ya here at the bureau!!

:)

ps: we are receiving major requests for Rahul Gandhi prototypes these days! we are still working on getting patent rights to Johnny Depp.; 30 March 2009 at 9:09 pm

Jagjit said...: The best thing about being Raj was being Shahrukh Khan, and girls love Him. :) don't they? well most of them, if not all. :); 31 March 2009 at 10:07 pm
Arnab Majumdar said...: Interesting take on that. Glad to see that there's someone who's not blinded by the glam sham of Bollywood. There's your answer too, it worked 'coz the character was loaded with the potent magic of Bollywood.

Well written, as always. Cheers...; 31 March 2009 at 11:34 pm
Mahul Bhattacharya said...: At least some1 doesn't adore the stammering Raj! U see, for me life becomes a little more beautiful with that knowledge.

Why's that??
Bcoz I can never be anything remotely similar to Raj(for instance I will never get bashed up just to prove my love or whatever). And like some1 has already said; 90% gals are fans of Raj. But it's still good to know that there exists a 10%!!
Might be that you have already inspired me to write something on this.; 1 April 2009 at 1:46 am
