Who's the man!
I just completed 23 years of my life. And I don't shave yet. Or drink beer.
Infact, no booze, no weeds, no fags, no shags for me. No affairs. No eve-teasing.
And believe me if you will, never went to some busy mall with friends and ogled girls.
Never ever had long hair!
No brawls or fist fights.
Had a few minor screw-ups but nothing I can boast about.
I don't use foul words(?)...atleast not in hindi.
Have absolutely no interest in bikes.
And I don't like porn much.
I guess I could blame it on my frustratingly passive hormones or on my highly oppresive superego...but it din't feel like 'man' on the night i completed 23. I tried to hypnotize myself all night in front of mirror by repeating, "24th running. U r the man now!" But it failed everytime i noticed my slim, feather-weight body or my pubic moustache or clean chest.
I woke up early the next day with a call from home. It was my mom with all her love and pride, "Happy twenty third Birth Day baby. Oouuui..my baby is a man now!"
Yeah! Now it felt like a man.

ReplyDeleteNo question, most of the signifiers of "manhood" aren't particularly healthy. I used to smoke lots of weed, drank a lot, took other drugs, and now I don't. So does that mean I stopped being a man? Basically, if you're full grown and have those things hanging between your legs, you're a man...end of story.

ReplyDeletehehe. in that sense I sure am a man. Thanks. :)
wow! sorry for the rude comment regarding the Divine Revelations post...
ReplyDeletei am very impressed by ur post...can't believe u hd the courage to write all this...am sure many guys feel that way but they don't hv guts to admit that and much less on a blog that is not even anonymous...u know u actually hv to be a man to do that. so don't ever doubt that
thanx for liking the post.
ReplyDeletethe post is titled Whos the man? for the writer knows but wld like the readers to think, whos really the man.
:)
:) okay then...btw i like ur blog...continue blogging and don't delete it...the problem with most honest bloggers is that they either stop blogging (as in do that once in a blue moon wen they don't mean to write a post but just to continue blogging if u know wht i mean)...i hope u continue blogging :)
ReplyDeleteYou may not need to hear this again...but brilliant blog and very interesting post...keep it up!
ReplyDeletethanx Upasana. I don need to hear it time and again.
ReplyDeleteI wld try to be as honest as possible on this blog. Personal becomes impersonal when u write abt it.
