“Hey, check out the girl in blue, I think I have a crush on her.” “No yaar, she is looking at me, I know it.”
We get to hear such comments when a bunch of friends are having a time outside their houses or in any public place. It’s like they are meant to be here for this reason. Or you will hear them say, “Yaar, I like her but how should I talk to her?”
I mean to say ‘is this all they have got to do nowadays.’ This is a problem which I term (the Girl Thing). I ask them as simply as I can, what is this and why? Is there nothing else to be done in your lives? Is this the new trend we have opted in the new century?
I just want to say ‘wake up guys, what are you thinking about.’
I will give an example, and a very popular one.
Out of every 100, 75 problems that come to Super Sis pertain to this problem; kids asking: how can I talk to her? Or I think I have a crush on her but I can’t describe it to her? The object of affection may be his classmates, cousin, neighbour, or a distinct relative.
I mean what is the big fuss! Can’t you live without them? At first a few were afflicted by this problem but as time passed it has evolved to become a major problem for every boy and like I said it’s getting worse day by day.
Today if a guy doesn’t have a girl’s cellphone number in his mobile phonebook, he is mentally disturbed and is pointed at by his friends and cousins. As a result, he gets a personality twist, and he changes his course of life to making female friends a destination to be reached every time he sails.
And I don’t blame him. This problem is increasing day by day. And who says that the people of our society don’t support this; for example, whenever a guy (no matter of age six or 18) study in a co-ed school attends a family function or a reunion he is asked by everyone “How many girl friends have you got?”
It’s such a bizarre question. And what does the poor chap make of this? Making girl friends is also a necessary thing to do in your life. They actually are helping him in getting on this path. And like I said they don’t care if the fellow is six or 18 years old.
I recently asked a university guy “What is your favourite game?” He answered “Scoring chics.” I was shocked, the level of this disease increases from junior sections to the seniors.
And then people blame the media. I agree that media has some effect but there’s no point in blaming the media when the people are doing a pretty good themselves.
In conclusion I would like to request my friends “the boys” to leave this girl thing alone. I have seen very good all-round boys who got all washed up after these things. You don’t see girls doing the same job (Not at least all of them).
We boys have other responsibilities — our pride, our goals; making our families proud of us, to be something rather than nothing. Our dreams of living a perfect life for which we sacrifice 16 to 20 years reaching the top.
And let me tell you this there are bigger and brighter things in life. “Why make an aim at reaching small hills when we can reach Mount Everest.”
