Love is a bore

Look this up in today's edition of Anandabazar Patrika, all my Bengali readers. There is a reason why I put this up here instead of on the other blog.

If you want a further belly laugh, click on 'translate' at the top of the linked article and check out the result. Long live IT-geeks...

I'll keep this short, Sriranjani, for now.

Most men are as shallow and stupid and confused and opportunistic as ever (though, mind you, there has never been anything remotely like a female Tagore), whereas today's females - from 15 to 55 - are in it for what they can get out of it, in the short-term. That's not how love works: it never did. It's about caring, and sometimes doing things that the loved one likes because it makes one feel good, not just what one can get out of him in terms of everything from money to security to entertainment for the idle hour (I have told you in private about how much and how variously I have been used). The day women start realizing this little bit again, and get interested in the real thing, there will be some renewed hope...
