Etre une femme!!!

Its complicated being female, trust me. And trust Billy Joel to enlighten the world about such a matter! However, while it is needless to state that we're all not born the same, that second x chromosome does inevitably lend us some characteristics which remain largely invariant among the female half of the population, and keeps the other half either wondering, or swooning, or grimacing, and most of the time just plain clueless.... as per situation (albeit keeping scope for differences).

Between the daughters of Eve who walked the earth and their (great)^(10000....) grand daughters who now do the same, there are, if noticed carefully, similarities that have actually crossed the barrier of all those extra zeroes in the domain of time and thrived. Like cockroaches.(?) However some of the points may include references applicable to the present times only.

Women are intelligent. No modifications or amendments or criticism of the statement shall be entertained.

We have higher EQ, lacking which, a human being must find his position on a lower rung of intellect than a cow. Even if you're a scientific genius in the league of Stephen Hawking.

We like being pampered. Once in a while, at least. We like haircuts, spas, manicures, pedicures, colored hair, and several piercings all over our earlobes. Even if we're not one of the wives of the Sultan of Brunei or something. We NEED those things and deprivation can lead to severe consequences.

We like to buy a completely unnecessary piece of fashion accessory which costs an entire month's salary. If we don't have it right then and there, we will crib. And keep reminding other people of the terrible injustice throughout our lives, and then take that regret to the grave, and have it engraved on the tombstone. Christina Amanda so-and-so, Born so-and-so, died so-and-so, thou were a rose in full bloom, et cetera et cetera, unforgiving till her death of the grave suffering caused to her when cruelly denied the pleasure of possessing the gorgeous Gucci corset that once upon a time stole her heart. And then, the bhatakti aatman (wandering ghostly spirit) will seek revenge after her lifetime. So beware.

We will, unfailingly, continue liking DDLJ and Jab we Met and A Walk to Remember. Till death do us part. But, that doesn't mean we don't like Star Wars or Inception. And here, I may add, we're all in love with either Johnny or Leonardo or Orlando, or all three. Do not persuade us to come off it. It will not be fruitful.

In our heads, we look like Keira Knightley.Or Audrey Hepburn. Or Nicole Kidman. So any compliment thrown regarding our physical appearance, no matter how far from any of the above and how close to princess Fiona in Shrek 2, will be accepted with splendid belief. ( Just a pretentiously disbelieving rolling of the eyes, or waving of the hand, or suppresed little giggle on the receiving end shall provide firmer evidence to this fact.)


We know our Shakespeare. That's because we were actually standing on that balcony, looking lovely and forlorn in the moonlight and softly sighing in our hearts Romeo, Romeo, where art thou my Romeo when we read our English lesson. Or perhaps, (if one is the pimply teenage soul solemnly in search of the higher values of life, unlike her counterparts in search of the best lip-gloss in town) actually earnestly trying to resolve the conflict in Brutus' mind as if in our own.

We don't like clothes that are made essentially for size zero figures that are enticingly displayed on the racks of shopping malls, that we desperately try to squeeze into in the changing rooms. We eat. We have flesh on our skeleton structure. Manufacturers would do well NOT to overlook that fact.

We like hanging out with our girl gang, laughing hysterically at close intervals. Those are some of the best times in our lives. No interruptions.

We expect people to know the difference between scarlet and crimson, lilac and violet, purple and mauve, off-white and beige. How can anyone not know such things unless you're a dog?

We love chocolate. Period.

Ok, that's all I can think of for the present. Will update later if possible....hope this was a good insight!! Adios for now! :)
