In the eyes of his woman

He reads too much and speaks too little. And she regrets the times when he does speak. It is in rapture over books and ideas and music where he loses all control and balance and propriety, or self righteous indignation against one thing or the other, or inappropriate jokes and songs on the strangest of occasions.

He tries hard to look like an intellectual but has no idea of how and why people act and think the way they do. He tries to make his naivette sound like idealism, and manages to fool some of the people some of the times.

He claims to be lost in thought when he choses to disregard the unavoidable work, and makes reminding him to do important things a specially ordained task for everybody else.

He considers the floor of the bathroom as a washing machine where his dirty undergarments can be dropped at will, and the footwear of everybody else in the house as his personal property.

He considers himself to be liberal-minded and open to criticism, but becomes Mr. Sensitivity when probed even slightly on his pet theories and ridiculous habits.

At first, she thought he is a little different, thats all. Now, she believes him to be completely mad, thats it.

  2. thank you my friend, for all your left and right handed compliments...and I would rather be a good Rafi copy than an original Kishore Kumar...so, don't worry, Shabbir Kumar will be back next time with all his seriousness intact :) Yasir
