Behenjees or Mods

A good friend of mine from the "male" species is looking out to get settled in life and is on a dating spree, most of who he met online. So happens that every Friday evening, he tells us with a positive spirit " This would be it! I have a Saturday déjeuner with a wonderful woman!" or " Tomorrow's the day! I am so getting hooked for life !" or "Give it 6 weeks! This dining table will have another awesome member-my wife!" , its been almost 2 years, my good friend is still in high spirits and positive that she is around somewhere! He just needs to improve his detective skills to trace her :D

I couldn't help but notice that there were some really nice girls who we all thought would be ' the one ' but he didn't think so. Apparently, most.. okay all Indian women fall in one of the three categories -

Sativikam - Or the typical behanjee types. They can be spotted in by the typical neatly oiled hair with flowers or the unbelievable bright colored dresses that goes with a matching scrunchy or hair clips, matching handbags, matching ornaments and lipsticks and even the nail enamels and the only cosmetic they have ever known is " Fair and lovely fairness cream" If such a person decides on pink - chances are that it would look like giant cotton candy walking on the road.

They all have a common motto " virtuous, chaste and pure" A major chunk belongs to this group and most guys would either take a pass or be extremely impressed with this seemingly innocent coy untainted darling.

Prachodakam - The behenjees turned modern! Jeans and Kurta ,a modest blouse and capris are the style statement. They love window shopping and eating at fancy restaurants. Most definitely wear an eyeliner or mascara and a lipstick. Whatever they wear usually is neutral shade summed up with black,brown or beige bags and sandals. Self sufficient job and a lot of friends.

If you say Code - they can relate it to a. DaVinci Code b. Armani Code

This group is most sought after, most difficult to please and also the group that leaves the most number of heart breaks. Sadly, they are stuck in between wanting to be like the mods but have the hearts of behenjees :D

Bayanakam - The mods of yesterday, today and tomorrow. They are probably wearing a Jimmy Choo shoe teamed with a stylish Chanel bag. They can carry off a red or a fluorescent green in the most sexy way. They can seem to be extremely intimidating to some and intriguing to some others . Usually seen hanging out with this guy who is most definitely classified as loser by all the other guys.

My good friend says, he would like to go out with someone from this potpourri but pretty sure he wouldn't want to wake up next to her whispering sweet nothings till death does them apart!

And so I took courage to ask what exactly he had in his mind, and this is what he said - she has to wake up as a Sativikam , goes on to become a Prachodakam at noon and finally turns into Bayanakam at night!

.... and I am speechless.. so am typing
