It was the day I packed my bags for my first travel thru the various layers of atmosphere to a landmass on the planet several kilometres far and up in terms of distance/altitude!!... Missing friends is always a pain but heard from ppl that missing their dear ones is like playing soccer with a hamstring injury...horrible pain!!! Fortunately (or unfortunately?) i didn’t get any chance to get those feelings... Dear ones?? Well there have been many... right from school days crushes used to come frequently to me with consistency.. Its almost a decade now and it incessantly travelled with me!!
I feared if someone took out the mandrakes only to realise that the screeching sounds of aircraft are no different... But it didn’t really matter to me coz of the bright and bubbly damsels working for the Deusch spoken airlines... why was this language not taught in our schools?? Or in college?? If I had known Deusch i could have approached those ppl and made an impression....Hmm.... that doesn’t make a difference.. Why was that impression not made against the women speaking same mother tongue as mine?? Or why was the effort not taken?? Before i could figure out the answer for these questions that arose I was startled seeing a fact on a magazine provided and from then I started hating magazines for giving blunt/true facts!!! “The Ratio of men to women is 10:7 in India” were the words englossed....
Then it means for any guy to get a girl...he shud come in the top 7... My position was worser than the tenth... I wont even be in the contention since am moving out of the country!!! GODs must be crazy!!! Only on these occasions we get a doubt if GOD is really there!!! I hope he is there atleast as a hope in every heart that looks out for things or as love in the heart that needs it...
After several months of my journey, my position is rock solid as it used to be..... New country and different lifestyle had represented lots of difference in culture as well.. My friends used to ask if I found a person in the opposite sex here(believe me...it has a deeper meaning)!! The reply they used to get is a smile... reason is not my reluctance...its just the availability...What can a guy do if he is single and looking... and opposite gender are either committed or engaged or married... By hard work I spotted one girl attractive and pretty who was single but she was accompanied by her kid...Is this a santoor ad or wat...I wont repent.. Dont pity me..Am not the only one in this kinda situation...
As times passed by, mailboxes were flooded with invitations from my female friends...most of the grooms were residing in the country known as world power.. The beauty salons in Chennai became deserted since the guys affected by US groom syndrome never came to visit... Thiruvalluvars in the making.. Dont get me wrong here... there wasn’t anything wrong that those female friends did but the guys who were affected by this should be the ones to miss the seventh rank by a narrow margin... i believe the survey results now...
Conversation with the budding thiruvalluvars meant that I need to put up a filter to desalinate the flow of words coming from their vocal cord filled with anger... First word wud be ``screw the guys from the so called super power``... I felt little relieved coz am not living in that country!!! So they are not screwing me.... My condition is not so great... I call up my friends in another country and do the same thing!!! :D
So what can be done now to dry periods existing in the lives of guys under this category.. Trying to expertise on the facts, one thing was found..It must be the female infanticide that existed in the country few generations back that caused the off balance in the ratio...It should be that Karuthamma oldie behind this..
Well am going to spread a noble campaign of stopping female infanticide..else guys in the future generation would be affected by syndromes like SFS...Single Forever Syndrome...
Never mind guys... If u look back at history, great achievers are single...
We are Abdul kalam, Vajpai, Vinoba baave, Nithyananda...ooops..Vivekananda in the making...
Optimism isn’t it...
