The Boy has gone for a Boy’s night out and I’m completely
bored. As I decide between watching Raanjhanaa (which he refuses to watch) or
season 4 of Modern Family (which I absolutely love), I’m trying to guess the
conversation they must be having.
He is an adorable husband who tells me quite a bit. They start
with Booze, career opportunities, travel plans and move on to digs at each
other. The banter increases with mixed shots and ends with people puking. He never
pukes. Yes, he tells me everything *winks*
How do girls start? We begin with seasonal offers at
Zara and Mango. And move on to sex. We try to discuss the falling rupee and the
worsening job market. But let’s face it, that’s no fun. After a couple of glasses of sophisticated
wine, we move on to bedroom stories. We try to make it sound like someone else’s
tale, but really, it is all about us. Oh, mind you, we don’t discuss everything
with everyone all the time. It is just
between close friends after a fine selection of Shiraz and shots of Jose Cuervo.
For us, the group of 7 is called Sex and the City and we probably meet twice a
year. Only.
Don’t judge me. Healthy conversations about sex should be
promoted in our culture. When we meet we giggle and learn at the same time. We neither demean nor put someone on a pedestal. We talk, we share, and
then vouch never to divulge any personal information. Except that the boys come to know
tid bits about our conversation through our smoother actions *winks again*.
Coming back to the innocent boys – I’ve always admired men
and their ability to keep their personal life to themselves. Thank God for
that. When I was dating the Boy, he hardly ever introduced me to his friends. Although
it was a scary trait, he found it best for me to stay away from their
conversations. He also said something along the ‘IIT guys bookhe ....’ lines. No
offense, he is one of them *winks the third time*.
Men have a wilder imagination than women. Women, they are
grossed out if they start to imagine someone else's sex life. Atleast in my part of the
world. And that is why I think it is best for boys to overindulge, puke and gossip
about office. I am sure they have fun in their own simple way!
As for us, we will strive to learn from all our
chit-chats *wink wink*.
It's time for Raanjhanaa...
Yes, it is strange that guys never discuss their sex life with each other. I remember a few days back one of my very good friends was getting married and was pretty nervous. That was when I came closest to discussing my sex life with a friend to dispel his nervousness. :)
ReplyDeleteTrust me, we are glad that men don't discuss their personal life with the outside world. Among other things, this helps in maintaining low expectations as well ;)
DeleteFalling rupee and worsening job market? I mean I'd never discuss that with friends or enemies or anyone for that matter whether I am drunk or not :D :D Rest ofthe post - true. Though the hubby here doesnt mention the puking part etc of booze part. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha.. c'mon aren't you happy that we can send more money home now??? And you don't talk about it with anyone? :)
DeleteThe puking part is mentioned only when they have been sober. How else would he show off his 'capacity'!?
Na.. about sending money home..I have more interesting stuff to talk all the time ;-) Just that I dont have anyone here to say. Whatsapp is a savior.
Deletefalling rupee and the global economy?? NEVER HAPPENED IN MY CASE. SEX? Yaaaa....its informative! :D
