The not so Merry-go-round of Life!!

I don’t know what it is about me that makes me so irresistible to women!!! The sad part is that it happens only when they want to seek breakup advice…. I know what most of my male readers might be wondering…. “Basket!!! At least they come to you for something!!” But lemme tell you from my own experience….There can be nothing more unsettling than when a beautiful woman comes and talks to you……about other men… Not to mention the fact that the breakup advice u give them puts yer life in great peril….at the hands of their boyfriends, usually 6 foot tall basketball players or doping guitarists with peanut-sized brains that fail to recognize any semblance of logic!! (Yeah, I know…what do women see in them anyway?? I guess dumber the dude, the more they can put up with the incessant chatter that women subject us to…) More on the “dumber the dude, baber the babe” theory later…

Anyways, years of playing the agony brother (agony uncle makes me sound old) has helped me perfect the art of counseling.. If my fin grades are any indication, this is a good thing… that means I’d have something better to resort to than begging to earn a living… Lemme use this blog and this free-time to impart my wisdom…. Why? I jus told u abt my fin grades… there shud be some place where I can look wisdomous!!!

There are four zones you havta cross before you come to terms with a breakup…The first is “denial zone”… Here, you have been dumped, or rejected, but do not wanna believe this!!! Aw, she just “thinks” she doesn’t like me… arre, abhi yeh thinks ka matlab wohi hua na? This zone happens because frequent interaction with his girlfriend has tuned his brains and sense of logic to that of womankind.. A guy so fervently rejects the idea that his lady-love doesn’t have feelings for him…

Next can be even worse…You know she has rejected you, but don’t know how to come to terms with it… I call it the “realization zone” This is the time of flashbacks….Perhaps the only time in his life when a man actually remembers dates!!! “Tu janta hai? Last year, isi din hum pehli baar walk pe gaye the…” Yaar, how can she do this to me? What does she see in that buffoon Aniket?

The third is the “acceptance zone”… This is where men start acting like themselves all over again… They gawk at cuter chicks… But mind you, they still have feelings for their girlfriends…I’d bet if any of these chicks wanted to kiss this guy, he’d start calling his ex-girlfriend’s name out loud!!! Finally, over time.. men move to the steady state zone “fantasy zone” This is where, as always, they picture themselves with the cute chicks….

I think the root of the whole problem is that there is a mismatch between guys and girls.. in a relationship, the guy is always casual at first… when the girl perhaps wants to get serious… but over time, the guy begins to settle down with this girl and his ego wants him to keep her locked in a golden cage… this makes the girl feel suffocated and long for more freedom…the guy in turn misunderstands this and starts imagining that the girl doesn’t love him….how does he react???? Tighten the screws of the cage!!!

I guess the more aware you are about these things, the easier you’ll find to come to terms with your relationships….. and of course when yer playing the agony brother! *sigh*
