What Women Want ???

A trillion dollar question, right ??

We can go blabbering for hours on this.. But if asked to write, summarizing & collecting all thoughts and presenting in front of everyone would surely be a tough task for me.. Let me give it my best shot..

This question has always been identified and related in terms of What women want from Men??

In this post I would go ahead with all the aspects of this question and also would enlighten the Menkind :)

Times have changed.. World has changed.. Society has changed.. For that matter Women have also changed.

But somehow the ground rules of judging a woman..  Expectations from a woman.. Remain untouched by our so called modern culture.

It is not that we always have concerns with men. Sometimes the family, relatives, friends, colleagues, frenemies do upset us to a large extent.

We are expected to be a idol wife, daughter-in-law, daughter, sister or for that matter girlfriend as well in spite of the fact that we are working as hard as men, have the same pressures in office as they experience, travel as much as they and not to mention earn as much as them.
We are expected to get back home early, Cook for the family, do the household stuff, look after kids.
Apart from all this we have to deal with the various biological crisis. It can be PMS, Pregnancy, Menopause. These add up to the mood swings.

We are in times where the country is ruled by a lady – Sonia Gandhi – Naam tho suna hi hoga :)
We are proud to have Gems like Kalpana Chawala, Sania Mirza, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Ashu Suyash, Kalpana Morparia, Indu Jain, Neelam Dhawan, Preetha Reddy and the list goes on.
Our beauties have conquered the world. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is often mentioned as the most beautiful woman in the world. Bollywood beauties like Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu , Shriya Saran have made it to the covers of Maxim, Vogue and many.
















  








But even today a woman’s completeness is still measured by whether or not she’s ‘settled’ in life. Being hitched is all that it matters. Being single is considered to be abnormal. The above scenarios are not necessarily around the world but in few countries, specially ours. The reason for bringing up all these ?? Its necessary to know what women go through before you try to understand what they want??

But what women want is universal !! They may be housewives, students, Professionals or celebrities..

We are hyped up to be very mysterious and complicated beings. Truth ?? No we are not, pleasing us is so simple..

Love.. unconditional love.. seriously, that’s the first thing women expect. And yes we love it when it is expressed rather than being buried inside. It’s a myth that making your girlfriend/wife happy, eventually dries up men’s pocket. We are not always wooed by those twinkling stones, designer clothing, lavish dinners or luxury holidays. Yes we love gifts, but even a single rose would make our day. Few small gestures of love go up to a long way. Offering help in daily chores, Calling up in between the day just to know how we are doing and let us know that you are missing us.. pick up from office… These little things mean a lot to us. These moments would be cherished by us..


We are diehard romantics.. Unbelievable but true.. Make us a meal once in a while, long drives or even a walk in the late evenings, candle light dinners at home, a small peck on the neck while you whisper those three magical words in our ears.. Playing soft music, lighting up the room with scented candles.. A love note from you in out of the blue.. We love being pampered and love all that attention from you.

Believe me, we would just melt in your arms with one happy tear rolling down our rosy cheeks…

All these are the ways of telling us that we are ‘important to you’, you care about us, you love that we are a part of your life. And you want us, love us ‘Forever’….
And when such a man is found, not to mention how lovely our lives become. We can go gaga all over the day with our friends about that one thing you did for us. We feel proud to have you.

Respect is another key ingredient.. We seek respect from you in almost all walks of life. Respect our values, beliefs, interests, goals. Identify us as an individual. Give us the space we need. Even we love to hang out with friends. Watch movies with them, and need the ME time. It could be reading a book, practicing a hobby, music, arts. Anything which gives us, the much needed peace. Trust me we would be back with new energy and give more to the relationship.

And most important - ‘Trust‘ us. Believe me once in a relationship, she is all yours and no matter what, she would stand by your side. A guy might sweep us of the feet by his charm or mannerisms. But eventually its pure love and care which would count for us. We are very forgiving as well, tell us the truth rather than we knowing it later from some other source. It hurts.. We could forgive you for committing the worse crime but cannot digest if things are kept in dark.

Ooppss, forgot another thing – Why do men don’t ‘listen’? Please practice this. We love to share the happenings in our life. And when we are talking about problems its not that we are looking for solutions. Just listen to us, console us. Men usually, either just keep nodding heads, murmuring without paying attention to what exactly we are saying or cut off us in middle and offer some solution or bring up something else which would be quite irrelevant at that point. We want you to be our best friend, with whom we could share any damn thing on this earth.

One of the movie quotes : “ If Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, and you can speak Venusian, the world can be yours “

Men have a burning concern about women being possessive, jealous and refer our tears as secret weapon.
Yes we are jealous and possessive. They come out of love. It’s not OK to talk much about your ex, your so called best friend or even about the girl you just saw across the coffee table. And praising them every now and then, is a serious put off. This is interpreted as lack of trust by Men. But no, its something else, we love you too much to let you go.. We cannot imagine anything bad happening to the relation. And we want it to be about you and me, just US.

Apart from all these having a good sense of humor would be icing on the cake. Make us laugh.. Make us happy !!


We are tender, warm, loving and caring. We are also strong, independent and confident. You would get to see all faces of us. Women want love, care and respect. Make us feel special, make us feel secure.


Remember, behind those hazel eyes awaits a heart filled with love, which could be all yours. Just put in a little more effort & show how much you love her. Results would surprise you. They could go to any extent for you, trust me seriously !!

Believe me, they would make you feel as the most precious person and would make you feel top of the world. She would walk by your side till the end…


A note to fellow women – Love and support your mother, sister, friends and other fellow ladies. Even that makes a lot of difference to our lives !!

Emotional workout..

Its been a long time since I thought about my blog.. Guess its time to pour my heart out..

Last 10 days have been a complete emotional chaos for me.. Torn between hundreds of thoughts.. I might not have gone thru so much of thought process during past 3-4 years as much I have gone in these 10 days.

Well the reasons are quite personal to be disclosed here. But I guess I can share my feelings thou !!

A person is happy until he/she are not confused about anything or anyone. As long as you have decided about a person/situation or the outcome of a certain relationship/action, guess it doesn’t cause much harm.

But what are we suppose to do when life becomes a synonym for uncertainty. And to make it worst your past confronts you as a wild hungry tiger. For which you have no explanation and no reasoning.. And you get into a situation where you could be losing couple of relationships in spite of your honest and undying love for them. Worst part you don’t have even have single friend with whom you could share all these.. Don’t have a shoulder to cry !! Its only my pillow knows my sorrow, tears I have cried.. Sleepless nights I have spent.. that’s the only companion I had..







It took me a while to come up with a solution.. Can’t name it as a solution but a way to ensure that things don’t get worse than this. If fate wants me to part from someone, lets not be that on a bitter note.. It was then I decided to speak up the truth and only truth, quite sure about the consequences.. It would hurt others, myself badly and shut down all the doors to someone.. And which also did include losing a relationship which means life to me.. But still I gathered up all the courage I could and decided to speak up..

Speaking truth meant accepting my mistakes which I pursued knowingly or unknowingly. Toughest of them is letting your beloved know few things about them which you don’t like. Something which you have been lying.. This happens with everyone when we don’t want to hurt someone we love. We hide things and lie to them. While we purely do that for genuine reasons and only out of love.. When these are disclosed, turn out to be your worst nightmares.

Sometimes we hate few things about the one we love.. I have always kept searching for an explanation for this. When we love someone, isn’t it that we would love everything about them ?? And if hate something about them why do we still love them ??

Strange huh !! LOVE for sure is the most mysterious thing on the earth !!

Despite of all these, I went on with this. I owe to god as things did not turn out as bad as I thought…

But I am still not sure if the person at the other end has forgiven me.. Not sure if the relation means the same to them anymore.. And not sure if still there are some truths hidden in the dark.. I live in a vain hope that all this happened only for good.. and I am still in the good books of the other person.. And someday would have the happiness I dreamt for.. May be this is called as SOUL SEARCHING by great people (philosophical)

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you..” This might not totally imply to me but does partially..

Now.. I only aim to be more thoughtful and grateful for this gift (Few relations) god has given me.. Its nothing less than a OASIS in a dreadful desert.. This sure is a tough task for me as I require to change the entire thought process.. I need to become someone who I was exactly 6 years ago.. Its nearly close to reincarnation.. But my beliefs and ground values would always remain the same.. and I hope GOD would not leave me alone thru this.. Do I get to see the sunshine this time ????




Zindagi jab dusara mauka dethi ha – Sabse jaruri ha apne aapko apnana, maaf karna aur wo khoya hua vishwas pana..

Asha ha ki kisi ek din ye sab baatein , jo maine yaha kahi ha .. kisiki madad karengi.. kiska hausala badhayegi !!
