MUSINGS :

YOU -

    As I got up this morning, I hoped you would talk to me, just a few words – maybe asking for my opinion or telling me about something good or bad that happened in your life the other day, but I guess you were busy. When you are getting ready for work, I always think that you might have a few minutes to say hello to me. But then again you are quite busy. During a break, I hoped you might talk to me, but maybe you looked around and got embarrassed. Well, there’s still time and I do hope that you may talk to me. As the evening approached, you got free from your work. I thought that maybe I get a small part of your time, just being with me, as there was no one else watching. . . . alas, the television was more interesting. At bedtime, I know you were very tired, you said goodnight to everybody and went off to sleep. I have much more patience than you can ever imagine.

    I care for you so much that I wait for a word or a thought from you everyday. Even though it is hard to have a one-sided conversation, I still carry on hoping. Well its going to be another new day and once again I will wait, with nothing but hope, caring for you as always, hoping that today you might give me some time and talk to me.

    Yes, it's you I'm talking about. You.(2004)

VIRGINITY AND WHAT NOT -

    Virgin, Sex - like all events that have had too much of an advance preparation - is definitely a distinct letdown. If you tend to build up in your mind an image of a "sexual bang" or "ecstatic explosions" or "getting a pure high", it greatly exaggerates its true good qualities and then you almost necessarily must be disappointed. This is one of the main reasons which continually spoils relationships between men and women, because of the disillusionment. The high anticipation in both the parties does come as a damp squib to them and they always wonder about the hype.

    The virginity that the woman can give the man is overpriced, overvalued, overadvertised, oversuggested, over stimulated, overdiscussed and not in the least overregulated. A girl has her mind made up from a very early age that all the religious principles and morality are wrapped up in that certain nervous area, where she thinks she carries her honor and she can anticipate the hot fires of hell in the eventuality that she yielded to some temptations.

    Men do not have that kind of a problem. They see virginity as unwanted and quite bothersome.(2004)
