I saw her standing at the bus stop in a baby pink T-Shirt and denim blue jeans. I stopped by the bus stop as I didn’t want to miss any opportunity of talking to her. I was framing sentences in my mind, because a great Swedish orator once said ‘A well framed sentence is half the proposal won’. I knew this was very important for me and didn’t want anything to go wrong. I quickly parked my bike near a departmental store and walked towards the bus stop. When I was a few feet away from her, I suddenly heard a voice calling out to me. I turned back to see Kajal waving her hand, like Amisha in Kaho na Pyaar Hai when they were lost in the island. Even before I could think of how to respond to the fate of mine, Kajal came running to me and pinched my shoulder for not responding to her PUKAAR.
“Don’t you have the least courtesy to wave back to someone who is dying to get your attention? By the way what are doing here in bus stop? Where is your stupid tractor?” That was the limit; I never tolerated anyone insulting my Munna (my bike).
“Sorry yaar. I couldn’t recognize you. And this is the 1000th time im begging you to stop insulting my Munna. Poor one fractured its back leg.”
“What?? Back leg got fractured?? You mean the back tyre got punctured? Oh god. Joy you are impossible. Ok listen I want you to drop me at my home. It’s been days we spoke to each other”
Ok people before any of you jump to conclusions let me introduce Kajal. For the very first time I met Kajal in the office cafeteria. She joined the company on her bday. It being her first job, she was very quiet and didn’t budge from the training room for 3 days. I noticed this and went into the training room to ask her to join us for coffee. She hesitantly nodded with a smile. I said “Don’t worry your manager wouldn’t mind you taking breaks once in a while. And I assure you will have fun with our group”. From then she became an active part of our group and my good friend. So that’s the background and we are just friends. Now don’t assume the “NO WE ARE JUST FRIENDS” dialogue, as that which a couple say when caught red handed by their friends or parents. Let’s get back to the bus stop.
“Yeah Kaju. Even I feel it’s been long we met. But not now yaar. I have to take Munna to the nearest clinic and get him some first aid”
“You and your stupid bike………..” Kajal stopped speaking. I turned back to see if she disappeared. Actually, she was busy hunting for someone in the bus stop. Suddenly she pinched me again and yelled in my ears “Hey that’s my childhood friend, ……….” I didn’t listen to the latter half of the statement as I was busy looking in the direction of her finger. And all my veins and blood vessels screamed in harmony, it was she. Kajal was pointing to my ‘Pink Angel’. Somebody pinch me. No it can’t be.
“Ok bye I’ve to meet her…..” I exactly don’t remember what she said. I assume she said something like that and sprinted towards my angel.
I have this strange brain which plays the harp every time I see …… Hey wait what’s her name by the way. Oh God I can’t miss her name. How did I?? How could I?? I slapped my ears for not registering the name in my brain. Oh no I missed it. I missed the name...

WOMAN – The Most Complicated Creation
I have seen many a gadgets and widgets that can do what people like me cannot even think of. Credit goes to those few who use their crazy, rather unique, brains to come up with something like that. These FEW, according to me, were the most complicated creations of GOD. But as I grew older and bolder, I realized that these FEW can never match those MANY who are termed as WOMEN. I know most of you who belong to the later community will close the window immediately.
One most important thing one should remember while dealing with women is, never ever talk to them about your old friends from school, college, work, etc. especially if they are girls. I’m yet to meet a girl who doesn't turn green after listening to you talking about your old friends. I’m not saying that men don’t, but men accept it and express it. But women want you to FEEL it. They say you should feel that I might feel jealous about it. At the same time if you say, “OK I’ll not talk to any other girl”, they say “No...Go ahead. I give you complete freedom to talk to whomever you want”. Believe me friends this freedom is worse than the festive offers from Saravana Stores. They at least say Conditions apply, but with women it is always CONDITIONS ONLY.
One of my friends once told me that he had a small fight with his girl friend. When asked he told me that the reason for the fight was very trivial, you can’t anyway expect a serious reason. My friend took a day off from his office to spend some quality time with his girl. They went around the city, did some shopping and finally reached their respective houses. Every night before sleeping they used to chat for some time. That night while chatting he said he was having terrible back pain and was not able to sleep comfortably. He also said that the reason could be the long drive that day and also long hours at work. Now how on earth can this guy think that this would become the reason for the fight? Guess what his girl friend said “Oh! So if you come out with me for one day you will get back pain and blame me for all this? I travel everyday for 60 kms and sit throughout the day in office. Even I work for an MNC like you, but I never blamed you for my physical pains”. Isn’t it complicated guys?
If I go on narrating incidents like this you might think i'm a Misogynist. My whole point is why can’t woman express it straight as most of the men do? Why do they make everything in life a puzzle? I asked few women about this behavior, I got almost the same reply from all of them. The reason they gave was, read it carefully, “GOD made us like this. We want you guys to understand and make us feel that we are the important, rather the most important one in your life. When we fight with you, we love you the most. When we shout at you, we want to listen to you the most. When we say GET LOST, We actually mean COME FAST. This is the way a woman’s brain is designed. Try getting accustomed to the most complicated creation of GOD, the WOMAN”.
After listening to this I came to know one thing that WOMEN are actually proud of being this way. They are proud about confusing everyone with their words and actions. I feel the only reason for such behavior is insecurity. This insecurity takes the form of anger, frustration, irritation, etc. and results in misunderstandings and finally fights.
Having said so much I must confess one thing that this nature of women adds all the spice to life. Just imagine if my friend never fights with her girl, never gets shouted at by her, I don’t think he would have ever felt her importance in his life. But if too much of this spice is added, it would spoil the dish and ruin the health of the relation. I am reminded of a dialogue from the movie Sleepless in Seattle “8 is too few, 12 is too many”.
Before I conclude I would like to say just one thing. Never try to understand or analyze the actions of a woman, they can never be understood even by the smartest of MEN. Take things as they come and trust me they never stop coming.
P.S. Prescribe this to all the Men who are trying to solve the mystery called WOMAN.
