Don’t do that-2

This post is mainly intended for boys in relationships. Girls can read too but not if you think you have a perfect relationship and that whatever I say is a big fat lie. If you people honestly feel that everything’s perfect in your relationship and you need not read this, congrats and you may close the window right now and go back to doing whatever you people do.

Hahaha… I thought so. Sit back, relax and let’s begin by talking about one of the common problem that plagues most healthy relationships.

Everything in the affair appears to be fine until the girl starts relating herself (by herself, I mean who she is in the relationship. Trust me, there’s a lot of difference) with characters from movies/stories. It’s the worst when she compares herself to real people but that discussion is for another time. For now let’s discuss about how movies effect an otherwise perfect (if not, Real) relationships. I know that most boys already understood what I’m talking about.

Why does a girl behave like that? I wonder if there is a high funda research going on to find the answer to this question but clearly there haven’t been a solution to the problem. When I say problem I speak on behalf of all the boys who are annoyed like shit because of all the drama. The best that we can do is to clearly explain what’s in our mind. Don’t worry guys, in case you don’t know how to put your thoughts in words, that’s what I’m here for. Make her read this; problem solved. And girls who are fooling themselves by thinking that what I say is crap, I dare you to make your guy read this and stay peaceful about it. 😛

Case Study:

Let us take a sample and elaborate rather than making directionless remarks. Take ManiRatnam’s “Geethanjali” for example. I agree that the movie is a classic and the story is really good. The album is one of the best ever in South-India and remains the same even today. But the point to be noted here is that it is a “story”. If she ever talks about how unbelievably romantic it is and how true love is eternal and crap like that, stand back, take a deep breath and try to tell her:

“The entire idea of relating to a ‘movie’ is fucked up. It is just a story that never happened and never will. The people in the movie never existed in real life and they act the way they do only when the director says action. They do not have a 24hr day cycle. The world there is seen through the artistic eyes of PC Sreeram (The DoP) and the movie is what it is because of Ilayaraaja’s music which is quite evidently absent in real life. The entire package is made just so a few  girls who are not satisfied with what they have in real life can play a few songs on their iPod and later screw with the guy’s mind who eventually tries to keep the girl happy by playing along and “Acting”. Is that what they really want?? I don’t know.”

So guys this is what you do

>> If she talks about how “Om Namaha” song was aesthetically shot and is a true symbol of passionate love, show her the clips of Nagarjuna kissing Tabu, Sushmitha Sen, Raveena Tandon, Pooja Bhatt, Anushka etc (I’m not sure if I got them all) with the same pervert lips and that there’s nothing really aesthetic and true about that kiss. It’s all acting and that is everything there is. Indeed the song is beautiful and it still is, as long as it is seen as a song…. nothing more, nothing less.

>> If she smiles at you with a hidden agenda after listening to “Oh priya priya” (Don’t act as if you don’t know what I’m talking about) show her the “Gichi gichi champamaku” from “Super”. Why am I talking like this?? Here’s why… Take the two characters in the movie. The guy is super rich and so, soon after he realizes that he is going to die, he decides to go live at a beautiful hill station where he has his own home and a maid to take care of him. He doesn’t really go sick throughout the film and he doesn’t do things like puking/pooping blood etc that normal people with diseases do. How are we supposed to relate to that?

>> And how can I miss the legendary “Oh papa lali” (Yeah, I understand your problem Bro and you’re welcome). The girl in the story is dying and so is the guy. But purely for the sake of portraying romance they both are good looking and are allowed to sit on a bench the entire day when SPB sings on the background. A normal couple would never be able to do that and more importantly they need not. The girl in real life in not dying and is not a child (papa) who needs to be pampered. She is a grown women; well at least grown enough to maintain a boyfriend without her parent’s knowledge or approval. She should act according to her age and not pretend as if she is a child. You got that??

>> Let me generalize now. The characters in the movie act the way they do because they don’t have family and friends that they need to accommodate in their life and in the daily activities they do. Their characters won’t really influence the way the lead characters behave. The guys in real life need to be with their friends, watch porn, love their family, plan their careers and have a million other engagements. That doesn’t mean he don’t like being with you. It means that even with all these activities, he still manages to make time for you. Feel happy for that. Nagarjuna in that movie is just a spoiled brat who is diagnosed with a chronic ailment because of his fucked up habits. The guy is an asshole who smokes while taking his college degree. Even after he is suffering from the disease, he shows no signs of the disease affecting him. Pretty convenient eh?? That’s because it is a FUCKING MOVIE AND NOT REAL LIFE. Respect your MAN for what he is!!!!!

Ok, I might’ve gone overboard there but understand what I’m trying to say. Geethanjali is just an example that I took to reach out to a larger audience. I know that there are several others that screw up the otherwise healthy and real relationships. Keep in mind that they are just acts of fiction that are to be watched and enjoyed. That’s all!!  Now think for once where you stand in your relationship.

Out of all the millions of people out there, you somehow managed to end up with one special person that you are with right now. Isn’t that a lot special than a couple of people on the screen that several others also relate to?? and most importantly that are not REAL??

Even with all these real life constraints and limitations, you managed to stay together and share an intimate bond, isn’t that an unbelievable romantic feat itself??

You people don’t need characters that never existed to tell you or influence the way you love each other. What you have is much more special. So celebrate it in your own way because it is UNIQUE, because it is your OWN and because it is REAL.

Cheers.

PS: If both of you relate to movies and are absolutely fine with that, then I guess writing this is a waste of my time. Damn!!!!!
