Losing My Virginity and Other Dumb Ideas

After reading a Neuro science book “EVOLVE UR BRAIN” –which talks about the science of changing your mind? (The author primarily describes how the brain works, store information and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over), I felt like my mind requires some masala to overcome the dizziness caused by the book. So browsed some books on flipkart and ordered the book “Losing My Virginity and Other Dumb Ideas”. This Book is basically about a woman (KAVERI) who on her 30th birthday decides to de-virginize herself and her journey in finding great love (some non sense). Non sense because the journey should always be inward not outward. You can’t find great love outside. It is all inside.

More than the protagonist in the book, I liked her friend Aditi more. Aditi is a woman who thinks if men are not worthy enough of having a relationship at least use them. So she keeps on having sex with Men and gets gifts from them and exchanges the gifts in the stores if any of the gifts gets repeated. But at the end she decides to marry a guy to keep her parents happy that is another story altogether.

In the entire book I liked the following quotations (IMDB style):

Aditi: The easiest way to get over a man to go under another man. (I guess it is vice versa. The easiest way to get over a gal is to get another gal beneath you.)

---------------

Kaveri: I think all men are useless. They don’t stimulate me intellectually at all

Aditi: they are not suppose to stimulate your brain. They are supposed to stimulate your clit.

----------------

Parot reader (to Kaveri): Love never happens only once. It happens many times. The true love is the one u already have with yourself. The other love with men just makes you feel better in the day.

---------

Aditi: There is no such thing as unhappiness or happiness in a marriage. It is how you make it to be. Romance is you taking the initiative for being so. Sex is when you pull down his pants and demand it. And conversation happens when you talk and ask for a response. It’s all when you want it and if you want it.

Kaveri: What happens when you get bored? And find another man more attractive? And then you have the urge to go with this other man who excites you or is better looking or flirts with you in a bar?

Aditi: You know everyone wants change continuously. But honestly, I have had so much change that it will be nice to have something permanent. When your expectations are not met, you want a change. But what if you change your expectation? Then you just might be happy!


PS: This book is another prime example of how complexly woman thinks. I do not understand why all women thinks “no man is worth it and no man is good.” I sometimes wonder what good means to them considering all my male friends who are damn good :) .

The New ‘MY’Tattoo

Image
It took nearly three and half years to get the new tattoo inked on my body. This tattoo has a special significance to me as it represents me psychologically and emotionally. The inception of the idea of getting tattooed has begun when I met Aparna Sarepaka (alias Appy) who is an amazing artist (One of few best artists I have known till date) and was amazed by her designs and sketches. I asked her whether she could help me out in sketching myself for a tattoo. She agreed and asked me to fill a template about likes / dislikes and interests /disinterests. She actually sent me some designs but those are cluttered and needed some modifications. I requested her to do the same. Meanwhile she got busy with her exams and then with her life and the project went on HOLD.Then I worked independently looking lot of designs in different cultures and trying to match to my philosophy in life.Nothing got materialized. After sometime I met Tejaswi Damaraju , an architect with immense interest in des...

Interval Bang

As I was falling from the plane from 13300 ft with a speed of 200Km/hr, I felt very much relieved as I completed my bucket list that was created five years back.I became free from it. I was so attached to the bucket list that there was a background process running all the time in my mind to complete the bucket list. Freedom is unexplainable experience. I did not know how to express it and I felt like running running running and running. The moment I landed on the ground, I got an impression that half of my life was over. In the movie language, the first half was over and the interval time had arrived. Bazinga!!! Looking back, life was mostly passive till third year of my engineering education. Life spurted during the final year. Then it started to scrawl then to walk then to sprint then to run. Past 6 to 7 years, life was at a very good rush: Ignorance recognized, ego brought down, confidence unveiled, courage uncovered, love craved, character built, innocence protected, youthful vi...

Becoming a little Lighter

Image
Philosophy is in my blood. If you chat with me for 30 min I will atleast refer it 7 to 9 times or perhaps more. People  were puzzled, and even considered  me foolish /stupid and if the person was woman /gal she would go mad. Some people thought I would become sanaysi at one point of time. It has reached a point where for even I do not get a cup of tea I started referring philosophy which made people even more mad and this in turn made me mad. I tried to control it but I could not. As George Bernard had put it more eloquently “ Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman but believing what he read made him mad.” I guess I am Don Quixote in making. I was brought up in a lower middle class Brahim family. Philosophy is everything for us. To get motivation I referred philosophy, to calm myself I referred philosophy, to get answered questions I referred philosophy, if my dad sends my brother out of the house since he did not make it into top 3 of the class I referred philosophy,  wh...
