Sequels being the current fad, I decided to pen some more on
the foibles of lovelorn couples. In case if you missed it, link to the prequel
(http://errorcode404.blogspot.in/2013/09/anti-love-love-and-its-maladies.html).
So without any beating around the bush, here’s the low down.
·
Petty Fights: The commonest thread
amongst couples worldwide is to fight about insignificant, absolutely mundane
things. A guy, trying to warm up to his
girlfriend, bought her a yellow t-shirt. Little did he know that this gesture
of his will be misconstrued and he will get hell for it! Reason: He had given a
yellow t-shirt to his ex-gf, which his current gf knew about. Hence,
it was absolutely and completely crystal clear from this that he still had
feelings for his ex-gf. (Please note that this is sarcasm. If you are a girl
and you are agreeing with it, stop reading here and rather read about shoes or
bags.)
·
Nicknames: She has a name, that too
a very nice one. Why would you call her babyyyy,
chocolate, shonna, shonnu, gullu, chullu? The most bizarre name that I
recently overheard a girl was summoning her boyfriend with was Chottu (Read: Small). I didn’t know
whether he was her man-Friday (obviously before dating), or it was a more read
between the lines nickname.
·
Handbag holding chipmunk: Picture a
guy, struggling to hold a lady bag in a way that would paint a masculine picture
of him. Breaking News: It is an impossible feat to achieve, even if you are
Arnold Schwarzenegger. So either you ask your girlfriend to carry it with her
at all times, which I am sure you won’t have the balls to do, or suck it up and
keep holding it in your hand until a guy, holding a bag in his hand out of
choice, hits on you.
·
Free Home Delivery: Some girls treat
their boyfriends as slaves (not in the 50 shades of grey way). If she needs
bread from the store next to her house, Mr. super boyfriend will rent a cab, go
3 blocks, buy the bread, and deliver it on time. Still he will be scourged for
not using his head, because after all when she meant bread, she obviously meant
brown bread, and isn’t it a commonplace logic to buy eggs when you are asked to
buy bread. The guy too will be profusely sorry for not using his intellect in
making the bread+egg association.
Phew! After the previous one, I got many hate mails in my
private mailbox. So I guessed that what wrote struck a chord somewhere…Even
though it might have hit the wrong notes, I am just happy that it made some
noise, if not music!
