Us women, we should learn something from the opposite sex. (Yes, once in a blue moon they may be able to teach us something).

Confidence.

Its just one simple word. But so very difficult to attain.

Most men have an uncanny almost obnoxious sense of confidence when it comes to the opposite sex. Most women lack that sense of confidence.

A not so attractive man (trying to be politically correct here!), more often than not, does not think twice before walking up to a woman in a bar/pub and try and start a conversation with her. I'm not referring to his ability to have a conversation or why he is having that conversation. Its just the simple fact that he has the courage to walk up to that woman and say something.

Women rarely have that. Most women would think twice before she walks up to someone she likes.

While i'm typing this post, a couple of reasons for this just popped up in my head.

1. A woman walking up to a guy to talk to him. Most guys would think that she is a whore. She wants to sleep with me. That sort of gives their already bloated ego more air.

2. A woman walking up to a guy to talk to him. Society has always taught women that they are the ones who should be courted. Not the other way round. Though women nowadays are proving society wrong. But there are certain things that, unconsciously, women do believe.

3. A woman walking up to a guy to talk to him. Women don't take rejection too well. Though I think that unlike women (who, lets face it, can be real bitches and tell a guy what she really thinks of him), men are not so, lets say, on your face about rejection, when women approach them.

I'm not sure who should be blamed for this. The women, who think that just because a guy looks nice, he is better than her. The men, who tend to not look at women who don't have big boobs and a tiny waist. The society/media, which has put an insane pressure on women to look a certain way. The parents, who have, maybe, made the child believe that she is not beautiful. The friends, who think they are better looking than she is.

Here is an example of the stupid clients I was referring to in my earlier post.

True Story.

A man and a woman got married. They got married because their parents forced them to get married. They stayed together for two days. Since then they have been living apart. Now they want a divorce. They have a query......wait for it.......wait for it........

"We plan to get married again at an auspicious time. Our marriage did not work out because we got married at a very inauspicious time. If we get a divorce, can we get married again?"!!!

back to basics!

So, i'm planning to do my masters. Excited!!

Things hopefully work out and I am able to go where I want to do what I want.

I'm actually relived that Dad and I agreed on me applying for my masters next year. The thought of another year in this office was giving me the jitters!

It'll be a year in October since I have been working in this office. I'm already tired of it. Tired of drafting suits for recovery and property matters. Tired of arguing on behalf of the stupidest of clients (who issues a check to another knowing that the a/c does not have that kind of money? I mean...cmon!!!).

I am done experimenting with different aspects of law. Now, I want to get back to what I know and like best. The reason why I thought of studying law in the first place.

And the first step to that...doing my masters!!

Future plans...here I come!!!

Clothes maketh the (wo)man

Its funny how going shopping can make you feel fat or not-so-fat for the rest of the day!

A good day shopping is equally proportionate to the way one feels for the rest of the day.

If I find jeans that fit well after having to look for not so long, my backside doesn't look all that huge! Or, if I find a dress that looks good, my legs just seem shapelier for the rest of the day. Or a top that fits well makes me feel like I have shapely arms and a Cleopatra neck!

I wonder if the clothes companies know that kind of power they have. To change the way a person perceives herself, even for a day, is truly a power that comes with great responsibility. In todays day and age when no body type is perfect, the not to thin do not have the slightest of chance of being able to be comfortable in the way they look. If your family doesn't say anything, the media will. The advertisements in the newspaper and magazines, the hoardings all over the city. If one manages to ignore that then a look from someone walking the street definitely will!

In the midst of all this, to be able to walk into a store and actually find something that fits you, doesn't make you look like a bloated balloon and doesn't look like something a grandmother would wear gives a person a sense of confidence that no words or any amount love and affection could give.
