Observations, here and there...Loverboys

There are a few guys who go to any extent to please their girlfriend. The other day on Tank Bund, I saw a well dressed man with a company id card around his neck bow down and touch his girl's feet with his forehead. Actually, he should have jumped in Tank Bund before murdering his ego. Anyway, these kind of guys are very funny at times. Such feelings of self-destruction usually begin when he pataos the girl and she accepts BUT subject to certain conditions. This is where a man dies his first death. And these conditions,  have less logic than Harry Potter's magic tricks. Some of them are:

• I need some space (I have male friends)
• I don't appreciate cricket much (You can't watch cricket anymore)
• Bangalore is my favorite city (You can't live with your parents after marriage)
• Weekends should be full of fun (Budget for Rs. 2000 per weekend) and many more.

Thereafter, there are many blunders he commits in due course of time. He does the down- on-the-knees-with-a-rose in the hand almost every time they meet. Days on which he doesn't have to do it implies that he has given her some gift that day. Even in a three month old relationship and after nine fights, there's a lot of crap like, "I can do anything to make you smile" (another 500 bucks). 

When out at some hi-tech mall,  his 23 year old lady love will act like a seven year old girl and say, "I want this ice-cream" and jump three times exercising her 83 kg body and burning 72 calories. And this idiot, with a joyous feeling in his heart, says, "ok dear, take anything you like" and take out his wallet with grandeur that could put a prince to shame while deep inside, he wished she had something cheaper. So, to adjust that cost, he will have just a Sprite and says, "I just had lunch!" while his soul starves inside. 

Madly-in-love with a mad girl, he will take permission for everything from her. Things get so shady at times, he will ask, "I want to go out with my friends tonight, so....I'll have a..ONLY ONE BEER, I promise!" And when she okays his request, he will send an SMS to all his friends, "Dude, I got permission today!" and repeat the same line again when he meets them and 'high fives' with his friends as if he has scored 99 percentile in CAT. And when he  ends up drinking five beers and in the night, she calls and he doesn't pick up, he'll have to buy another teddy bear (her 5th one) at a China Bazaar store for 99 Rupees and give it to her along with a red rose, a SORRY greeting card, a chocolate and a promise that he will not commit the crime again. However, next Saturday, same story repeats and the next Monday, another set of gifts and another lie. 

These nincompoops have another silly habit. They live telecast everything that's going on when she calls. A typical commentary begins like this, "Hi Sweety (ha ha ha), I am with X at Lifestyle.   He wanted to buy something, so I came. He has gone to try a jeans, oh wait, he just came out. Jeans is blue in color and has the same fit like my black jeans which we bought (I bought) last time....I think it is tight in his groin area..yes..very tight...He will have to change it.... He went inside again..... So, what else happened...Here there are many girls around....one of them is looking at me (lies)....Now we will start from here in another 30 minutes.....we will have lunch.....Now its not possible...everyone around...ok I LOVE YOU (whispers  after covering the mouth with hand).....so what else.....so what else.....so what else...." As this conversation goes on and on, the poor friend who sought his friend's company is left lonely - He pays the bill, carries the stuff, starts the bike and drives on.
