One In A Million!


In the year 2010, the Population of our Subcontinent may rise to a whooping 1,155,830 people! The growth for the year 2000-2010 will be 1.3%. In 2005, the population was 1,085,455. Out of which there were 558,881 Men and 526,575 Women.

We can clearly see that there are lesser women than men, in our country. And the future will only see the population of women decrease even more. I am not saying this, but researchers, who after recording the number of female foetus homicides, have come to this conclusion, that there will two or more men for a woman. This gives us, the women, a great deal to choose from.

"...the future looks bleak for coming generations of young males" - The Times of India, 31 Jul 2004.

"...Valerie Hudson (Brigham Young University) and Andrea DenBoer (University of Kent), who argue that too many unmarried males in India and China pose potential security dangers for the planet" - The Times of India, 31 Jul 2004.

I was very excited when I heard that news. I guess every girl I knew was excited with this news. Just imagine. More men to choose from. I waited, patiently at first. Then impatiently. I saw men. Lots of them. Every time I got interested in one, he would say, "...my girlfriend and I..." and I would zero down my audio levels. Then I would get interested in someone again, and he would behave in a way that was suspicious. Then I began to wonder, 'What is the big great?' (as someone I know once says). If there are more men now, why can't I find someone suitable?

My eyes grow wide with suspicion every time I see a guy, who could be interesting enough to date. I have waited over two years for the men in my part of the world to increase. But, alas, I think its not to be.

The stats, no matter how excited it gets me, brings me down all of a sudden, when my future love life seems bleak. But I have made up my find, not to rest till I find the gem I looking for in the 558,881+ men in India, our Sub-Continent! So I wish you too all the best, to find the love of your life. With the population swinging from one gender to another, its like a game of luck. So Good Luck!

Totally agree with you babe!! Have you ever, when in public, noticed that almost everyone else seems to have someone to cuddle up with, while you have to be content with your overcoat?! The stats listed in your post are only going to make me wonder, more than ever, "Where are all the guys?!!!"...Good to know that I am not alone on my island!![:)]

It Happens Only Once?

I have touched love, tasted it, felt it, sensed it, and felt alive with it! Love has done the same to me too. Its funny, I have had many people ask me, what is Love? How do you know that it is Love? I wish I could tell them, there is nothing else, but Love! But then I know they would look at me with a weird look in their eyes which says, I have heard many stupid answers before, but this is an original. Disappointed, I resign and explain, like I would to a child, what love feels like. India is a place, dominated by a crazy culture called 'Bollywood'. Its amazing to see the impact it has on one and all. If anyone should ask me, what rules India, I would like the answer to be Bollywood. Life, including politics, takes inspiration from this Industry. Then why shouldn't Love? Imagine the dreamy eyed Shahrukh Khan on a basketball field, looking love struck and telling the kid, Pyaar sirf ek baar hota hai. The impact this dialogue had on the audience was phenomenal! I can't se

WHO DUN IT??

Long time ago when man lived in caves, they often wondered if it was by magic that the voice echoed in the darkness of the cold barren caves. Evolution, as the scientists say, started in these dark barren caves, where cave men evolved to become the more civilized human race. But still the mystery continued. The mystery of sound! Man continued to be bewildered by Nature. And this kept him busy. He tried to figure out ways to improve his life. Life as we know it today, owes its gratitude to many known and unknown faces. If it were not for people like James Clerk Maxwell or for Heinrich Hertz we would have never stopped being awe struck by sound. Ever since they figured out electromagnetic waves the world took another leap at technology. It was a small step for these scientists and a huge leap for Radio. Wireless communications helped bond boundaries and bring people closer. But confusion begins every time a teacher asks her student, “Who invented Radio?” The answer never surprises anybod

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We
