Girls...Do Matter

'Sukanya' is the latest addition in our family. Now there's another lil one calling me - chachu/Anna.I don't know but there's something special about gals. Be it mom, sis or gf they all have one thing in common and that's a smile. And Smile=Strength


Maybe Shaggy's song 'Strength of a woman' potrays it all.
"So amazing how this world was made
I wonder if GOD is a woman!!
The gift of life astounds me till this day
I give it up for the woman!!
She's the constant wind that fills my sail
Oh that woman!!
With her smile and her style,
She'll protect like a child
That's a woman!!!!
She'll put a smile upon her face,
And take you to a higher place,
So don't you underestimate,
Strength of a woman !!Strength of a woman !!


Tenderness that's so so sweet,
Gentle words she softly speaks,
Such a nature will we meet,
God bless the ground beneath her feet !!
She can take you on a high,
Be your comfort when you cry,
But if you look into her eyes you'll see,
The strength of a woman.
Strength of a woman !!!"


Hats off to you all women for being men's biggest strength!!!

Curse of being a Bachelor :)

Getting a rental house is such a big challenge that sometime you feel it’s easier to find a girlfriend than to find a house of your choice. First it’s the broker who comes into picture. He'll take you for a ride and will put all TnC's (Terms and conditions) before you see the house. Brokers ensure they take the longest path so that by the time one reaches to the first house he's completely frustrated and ready to take its possession at any cost.

Once you reach to the owners place first thing they ask, "Beta! Are you married or still a bachelor?” The moment they hear the word "Bachelor" the house owner gives a stern look. It appears as if "Bachelors" are a breed of Bandits who has robbed - "Happiness" of these house owners. Standing outside at 40 deg Celsius you start an argument to prove why a bachelor is thousand times better than a familywaala. And the obstinate owner will ensure that the poor guy appear as a barking dog who can be ignored b'coz after all he's a homeless S.O.B...

But then in our country, there's a solution for every problem. You pay some extra amount of rent and house is yours. Owner start treating you like his very own son. You are no longer considered to be a chic hunter in that apartment. Aunties and their daughters are safe. Kids start treating you as their very own 'Bade Bhaiya' and you are permitted to play cricket and hit 4’s and 6’s.
All this love and admiration comes at a cost (... paying extra rent).
Isn't it ridiculous?
