SO WHAT IF YOU ARE A GROWN UP?.......CARTOONS ARE FOREVER!!!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I was at my friends dinner party...the usual, boring fare with women in colors that give competition to a peacock! Gah! It was in one word, boooooooooooring! Anyway, with a plate of  paneer tikka in my hand I made my way to the kids room, amazingly enough there were hardly any children there but a couple of teens sipping coke, looking bored stiff and watching TV...It was not my day! I entered the room with a sigh; smiling at them...they exchanged that look which said, "Geez! Another college kid!” talk about respect. I realized they were not really 'watching' TV, so I picked the remote and switched the channel to cartoon network...the reaction that followed was epic!

"Um, excuse me, but what on earth are you watching?" one of the anorexic beauties asked me in a drawl voice.

"Err...cartoon network...why… don’t you like it?" I replied in my most polite tone.

"Really? Like how old are you? And you still watch this retarded junk? You SO need to get a life! And she promptly switched it back to 'gossip girl' with a firm nod.

 I was gob smacked by what she said! This teeny bopper is belittling something I bet she was addicted to no less than 2 years ago!!!! How old was she… 14? God! But it is not just her; almost everyone thinks that after the age of 12 or something, if you watch cartoons, you are a joke! Why?

I grew up watching cartoon network; it was my lifeline to fun! I loved it so much that till date I find myself humming “Flintstones meet the Flintstones….” Just can’t get over it! As soon I would get back from school and finish my chores and homework, I would be glued to the screen.  Flintstones, Jetsons, Dexter, power puff girls, Johnny quest, you name it…all were my favorites, I just could not get enough of it! And contrary to the bull that people keep spreading, it DID NOT rot my brain in any way…rather it got me more enthusiastic about reading, it helped me imagine more , it also spiked my rate of daydreaming!!!

It is kind of sad that kids these days are not so much into cartoons and more about their psp’s and counter strike  and other junk, and I can see how it has affected the god of cartons, cartoon network! All you can see right now is the Anime rule…from Ben 10 to Bay Blade and whatever crap they show now! The children are missing out on the real stuff…Adam’s family, Looney tunes, yogi bear, Johnny Bravo and so many other fantastic cartoons! Thank god at least some of them know Tom and Jerry…although I am not quite sure they know who is tom and who is Jerry!! :D

We have to get rid of this idea that grown-ups and cartoons don’t go together, so what if the kids are out of it…their loss…We are the glorious generation of the famous Scooby Dooby dooooooooo, and the Yaba Daba doooooo….and nothing can beat that!!!

peace!!

a final addition......i swear...final...i had to add them!!!! very essential!!

A GUY WHO READS!

I don’t know about the rest of you, but a guy with a book in his hand is an instant magnet for me.
Somehow I relate to it more than anything because I am a voracious reader myself. I see them
mostly in coffee shops, roadsides, marine drive……they are just sitting their…with their book in their
hand.

Intelligence is one of the most attractive traits that one can find in a guy, it is so rare to find
someone with whom you can have a perfect witty and smart conversation. Now don’t go to the
extremes! The nerd type of conversations are not my thing where the guy keeps on ranting about
some ‘concept’ he believes and uses all his horsepower trying to convince you. Bleagh!!

I was sitting in landmark that day reading something in my usual spot, and then I heard this guy
suddenly asking me? “Come on! You like THAT?” instantly I was like “excuse me? Do I know you?”
making that back-off-dude face, but by some miracle we ended up talking our choices in books
and stuff. It was amazing, considering the fact that I don’t even talk much to the guys I know and
here I was chatting merrily away to some random guy in a book shop! Ha! Who would know right?
Moreover he was damn cute with his glasses and check shirt and all. Sigh! Good times.

So ladies, start reading for good…………not a magazine…sheesh!! You never know whom you may
bump into around the corner….havn’t you seen in movies? Heads bump, books tumble of arms,
glasses fall askew…and then……eyes meet!!!!

not a big fan of zacky here but....but that book somehow makes him look better!!!!


WHO CAN COOK!!

It is a dream! To find a guy who can cook...and look good at the same time. I mean...I can imagine when you are all low and unhappy, and your guy walks up to you with this hot plate of something hot and yummy...you have to be a martian not to think he is great!!

I think it is sexy more than anything watching a guy move around the kitchen like he owns it. Using the vegetables and the spices and the chopping! Oh that samurai style chopping!! The ultimate act! I remember back in college I had this baking certificate course, I took it coz I could not do hell in kitchen without setting the place on fire or burning myself in some way! Anyway, the professor was a treat to watch as he touched ingredient to ingredient and moved from oven to the grill, it was fantastic, plus he was good looking, so who wants more?

Once I remember, I could not the kneading right, it was damn pissing off as I was getting the dough all over my hands and my face. It was not becoming soft but kept getting sticky by the minute, then he came over to me watching my misery and offered to show me, he slid his arms slowly about my arms and started kneading the dough with my fingers. Oh-my-god! All I can remember is that I had lost my senses...I could not feel anything, but his breathing...his warm breath on my neck.....anyway, I am deviating.

I know we, women like to eat, it's true. Even the anorexic ones do at least at some point in their lifetime, and if a guy can whip up something deep fried and smothered in chocolate..nothing in the world can beat that!!!

So guys listen up please.....go and join that cooking class pronto....after all its not in the man's case that the fastest way to the heart is the stomach.....please! u cant have all the fun!!!!

WHO WEARS A MEAN TUX!

Okay, I don't think I need to talk much about this...three lines are pretty much enough..I mean this category is a hands on chick magnet. any guy...I mean literally any guy in this world can look sharp in a tux!! Its not fair....anyway guys are lucky in that sense! What can I say? guys in formals are my all time weakness...I'm still having a hard time getting over my old crush who parades around in a suit in front of me the whole day!!! Pathetic or what?? Tell me about it!!

So there you go!!!! Finally my list is complete!! Whew!! I hope some of you can relate to it!! After all.....this fantasy list is every girl's fantasy right????

peace!!

And finally....

A guy...who can hold you so right, and you can hold on to him without fearing anything

I really don't know what to say on this one...because it has never happened to me. Normally I would run for the hills if a guy tried to touch me forget putting his arms around me, but...can't help but think that can I ever...like ever and ever in this life feel like the woman in this picture? in peace and absolute bliss? kinda feels unreal.

I have seen couples hugging..all the time, but it is a very rare sight to see at least one pair which look like they are made to be in each others arms. Half the time the guys hands will be all over his lady love's delicate parts or he would just pat her head like an affectionate father! I feel a good hug is very important because, it is the most basic of contact between two people in love...it HAS to feel right!! A kiss can still be over looked in throes of passion, a hug is something where you don't think..it comes spontaneously...if it does not...then something is wrong.

I just love this picture...

A relationship needs to be comfortable...if one of them feels wrong or uncertain, it becomes quite difficult. But if a guy can hold his girl and crush all those doubts away...it is the best way to hope for the future. Because that is when you can feel safe and protected, assured that he is there for you, you can hear his heart racing..not because your body is in his arms but because his most priced possession is with him. If a guy can make  you feel like that ( god knows!) then you have found your home..your hope.

I know it all sounds a bit unreal...that love is not supposed to be rosy and dreamy but filled with trials and challenges..I know. But if you cant even hold your guy without thinking about what is there for dinner...then my friend,  something is wrong........ . Closed eyes, oblivious to the world, senses heightened yet numb, sweet relief and a blank mind...that is the real feeling.

They say you should not seek love..it comes to you, maybe it is true...I just hope I am ready for it when the time comes.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

The list continues.............

2. WHO DANCES:

Patric Swayze in Dirty Dancing created a revolution in men who suddenly wanted to learn to dance, not just because you get to...touch your woman...but also because it is the best way to get to her heart. I mean, tell me, which girl would not swoon if her guy, or any guy for that matter holds her so intimately? with a romantic music in the background. It is the perfect spot for things to happen! eyes meet, hands touch(besides other parts!) the sweet tension at the time is probably the best feeling at the moment.

Watching a guy dance with or without a woman is a treat, especially if he is some hot thing. I remember when I joined salsa II classes, the first day we were only 6 of us. after we went back and told our friends about our instructor, Brian, in 3 days the strength went up to 25!! He was such a dream, whenever he would slide his waist around me..good god! It took al my strength not to say "I love you". the feeling was out of this world. not just me, every woman in the room would wait for him to come over and hold them in his arms.plus the sexy music helped a loooottt!!!!!

So I say that boyfriend or not, go ahead and dance with a guy....as they say in cheesy romance novels, " he held her in his arms of steel and she kept dying slowly."


3. WHO CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH:

Now this one I think we all relate to. What attracts us most about a guy is clearly his smile..all the more better if he can laugh loudly without freaking out the people in his periphery!

It is very rare to find such guys, trust me. Coz the laugh I am talking here is not the forced, teeth baring ha! ha! ha! one, but a laugh which makes you wanna laugh along. This sense of humour is what I believe the key to a successful relationship. Now please don't kill me, but I know a lot of girlfriends who have the tendency of freaking out at the drop of a hat. And all the pent up tension comes out when the customary midnight love call happens. I knew a friend who could not talk to her boyfriends wihtiut yelling at him. God knows why? But by the end she would be in splits, laughing loudly and falling of her bed.

The guy could make her see the positive of all the problems with his sense of humour and that is what which was the lifesaver to their relationship. Somehow his smile put all her worries and irritations to rest.

If a guy can make you laugh from you heart.....then he is a gem.....keep him around! They are really rare!


Peace!!

WHAT IS IT ABOUT A GUY WHO..........................

1. PLAYS A GUITAR:

Eternal weakness I must say! Why do you think the Beatles were such a rage and women lost their sanity about them? 90% of my crushes so far have been guitar wielders....including my last one. But I have always noticed that whatever a guy may look like, he may be a douche bag for all you know, short, fat, weird, ugly....whatever.....everything is put to rest when this instrument comes in the fray. Besides the fact that it is the most sexiest instrument ever to be made, it makes the guy 'look' amazing too. Huh, no wonder every dude you know wants to learn to play the damn thing!! It's such a chick magnet!!!! 

But then again, when has music not attracted the female species? Any guy with a sense of music is great, but there is something about an acoustic guitar! You kinda relate to it you know, plus it gives him a whole guy next door look. And it does not hurt if he is wearing a worn out tee and baggy shorts!!! Sweet Lord!!!! So!  It does not come as a surprise to see women(including myself) swooning when a guy holds this wooden piece of marvel like he is holding his lady love and strumming the strings of her heart...........okay..come back.... now!

That day I was at marine drive enjoying the gorgeous orange and purple sky, it was unusual to see hardly any people around considering it's usual status. Anyway, this guy came and plonked down right next to me, gave a smile, took out his guitar and started playing...something.....but next thing I know, gaggles of girls swooped down around him, trying to make it look inconspicuous(ha! who were they kidding?), almost throwing me onto the rocks below, only to listen to their gorgeous Apollo!! Well, considering my life I had to move over to a safer place!

So, there you go...one of the most popular type of guys which seem to be sprouting all over the place as we speak.

The list will be continued as my gift to you readers for the coming Val's Day.............so ladies.....keep posted!!!

peace!!!
