Such hypocrites I tell you!
For the records, I have finally joined Cognizant and am officially a working woman! *taaliyan taaliyan*
So anyway, as I was saying, such hypocrites! Who? Well, here's who:
I am a straight girl, as in non lesbian (just stating a relevant fact, no revelations). So what do straight girls do? They look at guys; attractive guys most of the time. And that's what I did. I happened to spot one good looking guy in a batch of 270 and well, I used to look at him whenever he was around. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the dreamy 'oh-I-wish-you-were-mine' look; I know better than that! Yeah so well, what's so controversial about that? Don't guys ogle at girls almost ALL the time? Like, duh-huh! But when a girl does it, and it becomes slightly(ok, very :P) obvious, people have to create a big hullabaloo. Suddenly there are friends' of the guys inquiring about the girl as to, 'what kind of a person she is'. Ermm.. a normal heterosexual girl, thank you! Suddenly a whole bunch of the guys' batch mates gang up and act like goons when the girl is around, in an attempt to ridicule her. Suddenly the guy has on the spot bouts of extreme unnecessary attitude. Suddenly everyone in the batch thinks all the girl thinks about is the guy and everything the girl does is an attempt to get to talk to him. Hold it you buncha nincompoops! She's already bored of the guy!
Ok, so most of it is just either acts of unconditional immaturity or outcomes of lack of social evolution. But to question the intentions and may I say, integrity of a person just because she (I will not say, he because that circumstance never arises) found someone attractive? That's taking it too far. And why is that it is okay for a guy to check out girls but not vice versa? I don't get it! Such hypocrites I tell you!

thats oh so true! very well written !
I aint one, honey(A hypocrite,that is)...U can ogle at/flirt wid/whatever u wanna (:P) wid me 4 as long as u want though I might not fit de oh-so-good-looking types :\ But hey,dat wud make a good rehearsal session,wont it? ;P
On a serious note,dis has been pretty much de most debated topic I've been a part of...Been unfortunately associated wid a lotta such hypocrites who consider a girl some vulnerable creature who they can exploit if she gives 'em a lil' lead...MCPs galore in dis country n more so in de state u live in n which happens 2 b my hometown...How I wish I cud put an end 2 all such acts! I say dat at de risk of sounding like a feminist n I'm fine wid it...
Cuz hey,I'm a lover of womenfolk anyway!
I hereby raise a toast 2 de sacred feminine(n hope dat doesnt sound blasphemic)...3 cheers 2 womankind...hip hip hurray!!!
Now cheer up,sweetheart! There're exceptions 2 every rule! N I hope u find 1 to this pretty soon ;) :-D
Ohh n wen did u turn straight?! :P
I was always under de impression dat u were bisexual :D :P
Not even bi-curious now? C'mon,b a sport...Rule 377 wud protect u,dont worry! ;)
Divya,
Factual statement. Girls have the same rights to enjoy life as boys, so why this discrimination? But unfortunately God has made girls at receiving end for everything. Isn't it? And society takes it farther by ridiculing them if they wish to be independent like boys. Live your life as you wish to as long as your conscience permits. However little discreation is advised.
Take care
bird watching is not a crime!!! :) but hunting is!!! :P
Yeah sad state of affairs really. But to be fair to those "MCPs"( in Sikes' parlance ), it must have all been done in the usual good humour and no harm meant kind of tone( I have been a part of that "MCPs" group myself )
But just as one sparrow doesnt make a summer, this little incident shouldnt put you off from site adichifying and hate the entire mankind and go Sikes way branding everybody as MCPs. Keep site ing.
@ Harish...With all due respects 2 u, I never 'went around branding everybody as MCPs' Read my comment n if u stl find it ambiguous or think it lacks clarity,contact me regarding the same...Meant to say that there're are a lotta male chauvinist swines(:S) here and it's universally acknowledged-attributing it 2 de fact that India is a patriarchal country...so no surprises there...
The point I'm trying to drive at here is that though everyone knows it's unjust when they ponder over it,they continue to do it when in groups...N v stl cal dis country progressive?! Bah indeed!!
N without knowing what happened wid Divya in entirety,it's presumptuous on ur part to take a call on de whole issue saying it would've been intended in good humour n all nice intentions...Bah squared!! I guess that's because u've been an MCP urself,as u very proudly proclaim! Now dont drag me into dis again lest I start sermonising...Chao!
hypocrites indeed....i have seen this many times..different set of value system for guys and girls..
ohh BTW congo on joining work
congrats on ur job status :)
for the rest of the story, i take it tht the guys are all freshers. things would change with time. no worries :)
athe aampillere kuttam paranjittu kaaryamilla...vadiyundayal pora 'eriyan ariyanam'...ithinokke oru tactics venam...get a 'trainer' he he :)
ROFL i guess i could really relate to this incident ...;)
"Hold it you buncha nincompoops!"
I really like your style of blogging :D
@ HP
thanks :)
@ arvind:
didn't you knw? i've been doing that from day one re ;)
and yes i know.. its quite sad, yes, particularly when the very ppl who claim they are part of the 'modern' and 'evolved' crowd turn traitors.. ah well, screw them! :P
@ arvind again:
ohhhh i didn't tell you?? philhaal i'm straight again.. new place.. new ppl you see ;)
@ jack:
hahaha!! i liked the last part.. unfortunately, makes sense !
@palani:
is it?? really?? :O
Doing that?!? Err, u mean doing 'it'? :-P :-D
oye gtalk pe aa na...
@arvind:
now, i'm wondering what you mean by 'it' :|
@ harish
lol, oh no no no... i do need a reason to go back to work na :P it is after all difficult to curb what comes to you naturally!
but even when done in good humour, ppl have to draw a line somewhere at some point.
arvind and Harish
err... ok stop stop STOPPPPP!!!
@ rakesh
yep.. not a rarity i agree..
@ sawan
lol! that's a better way to look at it. true :P
@ kochu
aaahaaa... ee vishayathilellam jnan puliyanaliyo :P
@ whacky
lol, you do??? :O hmm.. that would kinda disprove my theory wouldn't it?? :P
and thank you :)
Wow! here's another plastic who thinks the world revolves around her. Wake up!! You look at him, he looks at you.. i dont see where the hypocrite part creeps in. Oh yeah now i do... in that plastic head of yours!
Look, i feel its so natural that u get to have a feeling if someone is ogling at u..same way- do u feel that he is also watching you? do u see any kind of assumed characteristics from his side?
If not then u have not made ur ideas clear to him..Stop calling guys poops ..
tch tch tch... all those pish-posh wishy washy comments and you choose to remain anonymous??! what a waste! if you are a guy, you have reassured my loss of faith in the guy-kind :) and dearest whoever you are, read carefully before you jump the gun. your inability to understand what I have written needn't be blamed on my so called 'plastic head'. hypocrites- for the people who ogle at girls and still question their 'character' when it is the other way around. hypocrites- for the people who make normal, regular attraction(which, i must say is quite a strong word in this context) a big deal and act like, I repeat, 'nincompoops'. and as for me thinking the world revolves around myself, if i did, i wouldn't have admitted to have looked at a guy. so seriously, stop acting too smart, and when you do, own up to it.
psst, quick question..he didn't understand the post honey, who's got the plastic head now?? :)
-Siamese Twin *BIG grin*
very very true :( I hate it when someone does it to a girl, it happens oh so often in college, not only for girls but also for guys!
@ siamese twin
for this and a zillion other reasons, i love you :)
@ shrav
mmm... i wont deny the fact that it happens to guys.. but then, how often? tell me more, I'm listening.
Divya,
You know what, when I read this, I was jus imagining the entire topic told by u in person. It is so damn realistic!! The fact is "men are hypocrats"!! I totally agree! I love reading such topics.. Ur writting attracted me very well.. Sooper cool! Go for it!
:)
hibernation..?
@ meena
haha... thanks babe :) and honestly, i wouldn't want to generalize but then again, why? why don't i meet anyone different?
@ vinz
so it seems but its not intentional :(
mean mean world...the guys are de-evolving into the ancient hunter tribes I guess....
Scribblers Inc.
P.S.-whats with the glummy feel? losing frends and blah? Chill, there is a hurricane of friends comin through soon!! :)
Perception is the culprit here,probably.
very well written though.. can feel the irritation but you can not do much about people so I'd just ignore them and move on :)
Congrats on joining Cognizant..what domain ?
Cheers,

you must write the civil service IAS or IFS you will sure walk in
Post. Or die.
It's totally ok for a girl to ogle but the difference is that if a guy ogles n gets noticed, he feels proud n not disgusted by the fact that others noticed. A girl instead feels frustrated from inside and writes a whole long post on it!
:D
One second ma'am! Guys have integrity and standards too! We don't ogle at anyone and everyone! And we're sure as hell discreet about it! (Okay, we=people I hang out with)
@ scribblers inc:
oh those posts are quite a few months old. things are good again :)
@ sharad:
that, i must say, is quite a good way to put it. it perhaps is.
and thanks, domain is testing.
@ suresh uncle:
hahaha! you always have so much faith in all of us :) you're the best!
@ mr. rax:
good to know that you're alive. and ha. ha.
i'm not bothered about the fact that i got noticed. i wouldn't look at the guy oh-so-obviously if that mattered. my 'disgust' is about something else altogether.
sigh, and now, 2 months down, it doesn't matter much!
@ Leonardo:
oh i didn't mean guys have no stds and integrity. and i guess i shouldn't be generalizing either. apologies if that has been implied.
Wow! And I thought you were kidding throughout the blog...Nice blog,I could just see that smile behind those words...
@ Alex
:D
;)
I guess that's a problem with us (Guys). Well just wanted to say that you write like a professional and your humour quotient is quite good along with the emotions. From past 2 days I have almost read all of your blogs and I am quite impreseed (can't help u to publish ur article though). Anyway, keep doing the good work and I am sure there is lots more I can learn from u. :)
why thank you SAM! for the compliment and for being a sport and agreeing to what i said :P the emotions just came with the flow! and i'm glad to know you've been reading a lot of my blog- thanks! do come back when i update this space, whenever that is :P
