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!![:)]

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...

What can I say...

What is it about life? We smile when we don't want to. We answer questions even when our lips barely want to move. We look excited when our insides scream for some quiet. I hardly know what life wants out of me? I am not expecting life to give me anymore than it has given me. A caring family, lovable friends, and an intelligent mind. But there is a void inside my soul, which I can't quite understand. Man, they say, is a species that has always wanted more than he has. There is an old story that says that, when God asked man what he wanted, he said he wanted the sight of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, the strength of a lion, and the wise mind of an owl. So be it, God had said. But the animals knew what man actually acquired - the virtue of Greed! Why am I telling you this? Well, I feel the same want. Though its not materialistic, a want is a want, none the less. I want to know what it will take to fill the void inside my soul. I want to know where I am headed. I want to kn...

SILENT TEAR

Every time a tear drop falls, I tell myself never again will it happen. I hug myself and promise the universe, no matter what I will not hurt again. But love makes it so hard for me to hold back all the memories & emotions that flow from my eyes. I keep quiet, listening to my heartbeat slowly. I feel the pain in my chest, but a smile covers my face! How ironic life can get? But we still believe in it. One door closes, a window opens, they say. But in a room with no windows, do we breath, do we stay alive or do we die? I don't deserve this love-less state of mind! Patiently, I waited all these years, believing you would come to me, in a dream, like a dream, like a ray of sunshine through the dark night! I smile at the sight of you, a tune struck a cord in my heart, and I begin to dance! Dancing my pain away? No, a welcome dance. A dance to fresh pain, for a new tear drop on my cold cheek. I stand still now, I suddenly realize that my heart is under an attack. Open, my heart is ...
