Maamis hit the world of Romance

Well, I just thought of updating you about the current whereabouts of our dear Maamis. They are having fun in their respective domains of life (now that their individual worlds are separated and split wide open). Ms. S, the dominating one is enjoying her freedom in B’lore to the utmost level, with the late night walks and night-outs with her newly-made corporate friends of her own age group. Lucky Ms. S! On the other hand, Ms. D is struggling to adjust into the traditional mould of a Chennaite, getting used to wearing ‘bindis’, following the ‘early to bed, early to rise’ philosophy, and trying to grasp the intricacies of the rituals bred in the Tam Bram community. Given all this, both are completely into this career-oriented independent women mode, managing all their expenses wisely and making important decisions and choices in life.

Coming to the interesting part, both are now ready to get into the unthinkable (for them) – love! The second year of college was somewhat eventful for both. Some of their friends showed special interests in them (this was more of a shock to them as they always underestimated themselves in these matters), but due to socio-economic-political factors’ (the most important being the caste criterion) influence they were not wooed enough by the guys and chose not to respond. But how can the fickle-minded human escape from the so-called trap of love? So, there were cases when the Maamis wanted to initiate the love-bonding but at the end of the day, Maamis will remain Maamis. How can their strong pillars of values & ethics (that prescribed a complete no-no towards love) be shaken? There was no room for dating; special interest if any had to end in a marriage for them.

Whatever be the case, both have got a taste of romance in their own ways. It is a weird feeling that can’t be explained. Sometimes it makes you the happiest person on earth while on other occasions you may feel pathetic about yourself. It is to be felt to be understood. This phase has made them realize the existence of this vacuum in their lives that needs to be filled somehow. For them, love has to start with friendship. And sometimes it may really get complicated between close friends of opposite sex because there is a thin line of difference between best of friendship and love.

Handling all these pressures bravely are our Maamis, their quest for love being in full ignition. Wish them all the luck to succeed in this mission!

Maami Series - Something about the Kurta

Well, it has been quite some time since we ignored our dear Maamis. To provide you a status update, DM is on a Mama (Groom) hunt whereas SM is exploring the world of photography. DM is always filled with deep appreciation (to the extent of joining her fan club) for SM whenever SM tries her hand at such interesting domains. Nowadays SM is kept on her toes looking for a picturesque scene that could be captured in her Nikon/Canon to be interpreted as abstract or real piece of art. Some of her masterpieces have been the stray dogs of her colony, random clouds, thirsty birds, and dirty kids! In a recent telephonic conversation between both the Maamis (after a time gap of more than 2 weeks), they touched upon the usual topic of fashion, brand consciousness and dressing sense of today's generation (they obviously considered themselves as aliens!). Both of them took pride in recognizing the fact that somehow they identify themselves with Kurtas and that 70% of their wardrobe is full of th...

The Path I fear to tread...

There is a path I fear to tread. I know it would not lead me to my destination. But it is enticing me. I am divided into two schools of thought. One says, "listen to your heart", and the other says, "stay focussed on your goal". I am trying to help others come out of their gloom. But who will rescue me from this mire! I encounter unknown emotions and distorted personalities. I don't know how to deal with both. I feel lost in this new world. But I know I am strong enough to come out of this web...I am hopeful.

Being a girl...

Ever asked a girl how does it feel being of the female gender? Now you would say when I never asked a guy, what is so special being a girl? I would say, it wouldn't have been if the Indian society wouldn't been a male chauvinistic society. People say it is the weaker sex, the reason being that we are dependent on our male counterparts for leading our lives. Although it has been proved wrong by many bold females by challenging and going against the generally accepted rules and regulations for girls, there are still several areas, where the battle is still on. Now without getting into the details of "Equality for Women in society" issue, I would take the case of one my friends. Let me call her Ms. M. Now this girl, like all my friends, is a highly confused but simple and modest (to an extreme) girl. She hasn’t had a boyfriend in her 22 yr long life. But is now developing feelings for a guy on whom she first had a crush (is it called puppy love??). Ok..looks simple. But...
