Heteromosexuality

Argh

Apologies to those who were expecting more frequent blog-posting, the but the issue is that people in my business school have discovered this blog, and some of them read it too. Most of them save it for a weekly class we have called “Managing People For High Performance”. As you can expect, it’s best to be surfing the web during that class (We have wireless net access throughout the school, and laptops are allowed – nay required- for many classes).

Farewell-la

Here, we say goodbye to The Sexy Singaporean. She will no longer be appearing on this blog – mercifully she hasn’t discovered it yet… I think. Why goodbye? This is why:

You go out to a Thai Restaurant with her,  The Incredible Indonesian (otherwise known as the Balinese Beauty – see the previous post for pictures of SS and II) and the Magnificent Malay( who has not been photographed yet).

Anyway, so over an unfuckingbelievable dinner, the Sexy Singaporean proceeds to make fun of one’s lack of biceps, and punjabi amount of hair…She even offered to wax me…

Sigh.

Another Moan-And-Groan

I’ve discovered why it is that I’m single.

Note-to-self- when sitting on a bed in a woman’s room, if that woman is sitting next to you, and she’s previously told you she thinks “she’s falling in love with you (just kidding”), and she mentions something about how some of the girls got together and voted yours truly one of the better-looking guys in class (second to an Italian), and she’s been teasing you about being gay (and you shoot back with – “well let’s go to a private room and I’ll show you just how gay I am”)…you’re supposed to make a move. Otherwise, she ends up going out with a guy whose name, if pronounced as it is written, would be slang for masturbation. But it’s not the woman that bothers me, it’s the principle of the thing – i.e. missing the signals. 

2nd Note-To-Self

When a woman starts rubbing up against you in the local bar, mentioning how “she doesn’t have game” and you compliment her and tell her that she has lots of game, and when she makes you promise to come back when you go to the bar to get drinks, and ahem, continues to rub up against you, it’s a signal. Argh. 

WTF?

(and Laugh Out Loud)

Ok, WordPress (or some mysterious hacker – whom I shall call Fucker just because I’m an abusive bugger) keeps displaying a “Happy Diwali” post at the top of my blog, even after I’ve DELETED the bloody post.

Well I can’t be bothered to fix it, I have an exam at 9 am tomorrow – yes on a Saturday. Sniff Sniff.
A belated Happy Holi to everybody.

And a 1% chance with the Sexy Singaporean. Went for dinner with her yesterday. Asian women are all the same, be they South Asian, or Southeast Asian. Over some ‘Mee Goreng-no-seafood-no-egg’ (basically chicken and spicy thick noodles ), she went at me rapid-fire:

“Where’s your family,do you have any siblings, why did you leave America, do you like it here, will you go back, where is home for you, why do you want to work in singapore, don’t you likie Australia, Singapore is expensive if you’re single, when can I see your apartment”.

Phew. I wonder what the results of that evaluation are (no I didn’t show her my apartment. It’s dirty.)

Saturated Silence

Well I’m the hated TTG anyway….

So the Blank Noise project is going full swing.

TTG will remain silent about it, because he’s not an Indian woman, and unfortunately belongs to the category of men who should be gay, but for some reason, at the last minute, turned out to be straight. Examples? A woman comes over to your house and you make out. Then she steps into your bathroom for a shower, comes out in just a towel, and expects that you won’t want to sleep with her. Yes, that was the first time in my life I contemplated rape, but only in my mind. There’s more where that came from, but I won’t go there. Instead, I’ll focus on something that none of the other Blank Noise articles have: Solutions.

1) Legalise Prostitution as a legitimate business (In Australia, a company that owns brothels, debuted on the local stock market).

2) Legalise Pornography

3) Legalise Homosexuality

4) Outlaw Single-Sex education

5) Have serious classes on Sex Education, starting from 7th Standard i.e. when most kids are 11 and on the cusp of Puberty.

6) Do something about the shyte they show in Bollywood movies in which the eve-teasing guy or the annoying guy in the plane seat gets the girl, . Plus also try depicting Sex in a tasteful manner on screen, and leave the rape scenes out, for fuck’s sake.

What lies at the root cause of all this molestation, and lechery? Convention (and actual research) puts the blame on culture, and how it’s all about power. I’d like to add a few more things to the list:
One of them is the criminalisation of something that is completely normal. It is perfectly natural to have a sex drive, contrary to what some of the more extreme voices out there seem to be saying. I think about S-E-X about every 3 seconds(or less). And trust me, it’s far more imaginative than any porn movie you’ve ever seen. But the thing is – is there any socially/morally acceptable outlet for that sex drive in our country? The answer is a resounding NO. Well the results of that are in everybody’s face.

Another reason that I’d like to pose is lack of self-respect/feelings of inadequacy, and frustration (yes, this comes from one’s own experiences). The people who fall into this category usuall feel impotent in some way or another, disenfranchised. And this, again is the outlet. Education, and employment will probably help to some point to get rid of this (counter-argument of course is the cases of dowry deaths and other things that happen in high-income and high-education families), but then the stuff mentioned above will help even more, in my unhumble and NRI-ified opinion.
