Honey.... hold my bag.

Guys that are involved, or worse, married, would surely be conversant with the heading of this blog. Oft repeated in shops, supermarkets, this is one sentence that the lady uses to show who's the boss. Ur course of action upon hearing this, gives a clear picture of the type of relationship that the two of you enjoy. (Enjoy??)

I have always been the type who hated carrying even a shoulderbag, it was too much of a burden I felt, and always went with free hands and back. Nothing to carry around, a free man, no bondage or responsibility. And now, I need to carry a feminine purse, inside a crowded shop, exposed to the speculation of the entire population there . The girls, are like, "oh, cho chweet , he is cho nice...", full of ambitions and plans for their own mate, poor bugger. The senior ones amongst them, if married, "hmmm, control main rakha hai, good", if not, "lucky *****".

And the guys.... well I should know, they do exactly as I used to do when I saw such a thing happening in my hey-days. It ranges from a nudge to a friend, to a well rehearsed "poor chap" smile.

But is there an alternative, I mean can i say, "Hold ur bag urself, I am not going to hold "that""??? Maybe I can...


Maybe I can fantasise, that is. The analysis of a man's course of action when confronted with such brutality can reveal a lot about his own personality.

In case u are in the beginning of a relationship, I guess that is the first hint she is giving you about the "future". So some guys usually grab it with both hands and proudly carry it for the rest of the trip. To married men, the scene appears like a goat proudly walking with a garland around its neck towards imminent slaughter. The smart ones, look slightly uneasy and take it reluctantly, only to return it as soon as she is done with whatever she was doing in the first place. The smartest ones, I guess take the bag and some money from it as well...

The guys in the first category are the ones that graduate to being called "joru ka gulaam".
