Where are the guys??

-


Ladies, every one of us might have had the feeling when we adore certain things in life knowing that we will never be able to have it.  Let’s say, like the hot geography teacher in school who is way out of your league or the million dollar diamond ring that you always wanted to be proposed with (for which you need to marry someone like Jay-Z) or The Mouawad’s 1001 nights purse that makes your heart skip a beat whenever you see it.  Yes, there are things that we simply love but are just out of reach. We accept the hard reality of life and move on.  We compromise and settle down. But now, there’s something new to worry about –‘The guys’!!! 

If you just go to Thamel or Pokhara or any happening places in the town, you will be heart broken by the fact that the number of good guys you see is almost NIL. By good guys, I am referring to guys who are ridiculously good looking, irresistibly charming, and in the scale of 8 or more.  P.S. I am not at all talking about people with inner beauty or a good heart.  One of my girl-friend who recently visited Goa said to me that the only guys she met were the ones who carried stick (coz they were like 1000 years old). Isn’t that terrifying?? When I was 18, there were so many good looking ‘Dai’s’ in our schools or in the neighborhood.   But now, if u look around, you will see how scarce they have become.  If you are lucky and able to track a few of them, please reconfirm (!!) coz they are either married or in a “serious” relationships.  (By serious, I mean their girlfriends are so creepy and murderous that if they find out the slightest clue that you are into her guy, they are going to come to you with their murder weapon!! )

The other nerve wrecking fact about finding the ideal guy is the intense competition. The competition that’s from the other girls and the other guys (Yes, the 80’s are actually over)!! If you find a guy who is handsome, has fluoridated teeth, smells great, is actually sensitive and caring then, chances are that he might be interested in your brother and not you.  How I loved Neil Patrick Harris (Barney/ How I met your mother fame) before I knew that he was happily gay and married!! Great guys like Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper/ Bing Gang Theory fame) and Ricky Martin who have announced their sexual orientation is just too hard to bear. I can correlate this feeling with the joy of finding that ‘perfect dress with the perfect design and colors’ after hours of shopping, which you are eager to try on and wear to the party until you are told that the store don’t have it in your size!!

Yes, its terrible coz Darwin’s law of Survival applies to finding the perfect guy as well.  The only thing you can do is have a little bit of lizard intuition and start believing. Who knows, the Bradley Cooper of your life is waiting just a door away.

True Love!

The other day, I invited some of my girlfriends for a night stay. As all young girls, all we did was talk, that too for hours. We talked about our job (which was all about a new hot girl in office and the threat that followed), life (that it sucked), food (about a new mobile app for calculating calories in foods), music and movies (who wore the worst dress at the oscars) and guys (which was about 90% of what we talked). After a few glasses of beer, we started talking about a vague topic - ‘love’. We struggled to get into a conclusion what love actually is.  After midnight, we finally agreed that ‘ love is something, the feeling of which is unexplainable and the lovers clueless '. As a 16 year old girl, love for me was a romantic flick like ‘You’ve got mail’ or ‘Preety Woman’ where two perfect individual meet, have their differences in the beginning which they sort out and eventually lead a perfect happy life. But now, I feel of having I lapse of judgment then. All these ro

When I look back at my life, there’s not a single moment that I would change. I don’t wanna jinx it by saying, but I am in love with my life.  Did I have a fairy tale story? –No. Was my life perfect?? -Indeed not. Like everyone else, I had my share of pain. I failed a number of times.  I failed to get through the medical college although my only persistent dream since childhood was to be a paediatrician (Short term dreams included marrying a Spanish Guy, being the next Jodie Foster after watching Silence of the lambs or being adopted by Bill and Melinda) To see my only dream get shattered was like being judged and told that ‘You are not good enough’.  It echoed in my ears for so long that sometimes it was hard to hear anything else.  I failed in my CA finals too (However, it’s worth mentioning that there’s a saying- If Jesus has never failed; he must try CA). I have failed in numerous assignments at work.  I have failed to meet the expectations of many people. There were times when

Life in 3D

 Life's a riddle. When we complete sorting out the troubles in life, we are struck with other new problems. On the other hand, when we lose hope and are ready to give up, life shows new opportunities and new hopes. It surely acts in a mysterious way. I happen to remember a quote from one of my favourite movies -The forrest Gump,'life's like a box of chocolates,you never know what you're gonna get', which is infact very true. May be this is what makes life worth living,worth fighting and worth surviving.        So, it's a mere waste of time if you are crying over life for not being as planned. Remember, Life has not promised to be any different than what it is now. May be its simply about living each day, each hour and each moment. So, what the hell!!  Make mistakes, laugh at it, life's not fair, accept it, fall down, rise again, face the fearful, fall in love, stand for yourself, be stupid, dance in the rain, make a fool out of yourself, cry your h
