so i was the queen of dispensing advice in my college yrs [ o my god i sound awfully old :O ]. but seroiusly, back then i was more solution oriented. u know how girls just talk and talk about their problems, and all they want is for you to listen to them??
they don't want your advice. all they want is a 'willing heart' and a 'sympathetic ear' ... wait i might have got that backwards...

but guys? wham!! u tell them ur problem, they suggest a solution. it might be a 'stupid' solution, but atleast they think theyr helping. ofcourse then the problem obviously arises when the girls whine to the guys, coz guys think that the girls are asking them for help and then when they suggest something...and then there's the pot throwing and plate smashing.... ok but thats a story for another post...

so... phew.

where was i? oh ya. back in college. when i had just joined engg. and i had these 2 roomies. one was N [ u already know her. hi N ^_^ ] and the other was this girl who was 3 yrs older than us. since i had never had an older sister in my life i was totally in awe of her [ i was also a schmuck but we'll get to that later .. ]. man, o man, i thought she cud literally walk on water .. [ careful, bible reference here.. ]. so she told us this story. ok. about this guy in the college. who was likea few months younger than her. and he was her cousin brother or something. and he kind of liked her.... and was kind of chasing her around. and she didnt have a vehicle... so he had to hitch a ride with him everyday and since he was related to her, she was getting pressurized into a relationship.. yada yada yada.. how he was kind of very insistent.. etc etc
ofcourse helpful soul that i am... i had many suggestions for her to get out of this totally unwanted and forced thing [ this was as i saw it.. ].

- tell him you like someone else [ hey! i thot this was a reasonable excuse u can give ANY persistent admirer ]
- tell him your parents have already found someone for u to marry.
- tell him u have some medical problem coz of which you can't EVER have kids [ as far as i know, all guys love kids and want to have as many as possible... ya i didnt know about sex back then... ]
- tell him you have AIDS and your gonna die in a couple of yrs... [ omg :O i can't believe i actually suggested this in earnest. where did i think we were? in the twilight zone?? ]
- tell him ... actually after that brilliant AIDS plan hit me almost ALL ideas after that centered around, fatal diseases and psycho mumblings...

..

[ hey !! i thot they were GUD IDEAS!! ]

..

few weeks later ...

"omg N, did you see that??? omg thats so wierd?? why is she HUGGING him like that as she rides pillion. that too with her brother??? eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww"
[ N rolling her eyes at me ] "why are you such a huge schmuck?? its obvious, he's not her brother. don't you know ANYTHING??"
"oh come on, she wudnt lie to us!! :O girls don't lie to other girls...."
< appalled silence and N shaking her head at my earnest confused face.... >


WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE END OF THIS STORY ????

she moved out and eventually we forgot all about it. 2 yrs later i hear that she's MARRIED the guy. and she has a BABY. excuse me while i THOW UP. [ blech !!! ]
popular gossip states she eloped [ cut off all ties with her parent.. ] and she delivered 6 months after the wedding
:O [ PN lectures that i should just let go of my middle class sensibilities ]



pps: apparently she was lying. he was her boyfriend and she didnt want us saps telling the warden, so THATS why she said he was her brother. but still. eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww.
