Well, I did talk a shit load of crap (which all the same is all very true) in the earlier post. But on the same topic, I do have a funny flipside.
I have this theory that being a girl or a woman has its plus points too. And that too to a very good extent. Firstly, no one ever ignores you, and that everyone is like crazy to help you. And that no matter what you do, everyone thinks twice before like saying anything against you, scolding you, lest you (as a girl) suddenly start crying or worse still, go to those mahila mukti etc communities (female empowerment societies which help women in trouble by giving all aid needed), which spells instant death for the person in question (i.e., in this case, you).
I also feel that girls in general get good marks in exams. I don’t know why or how the person checking the papers comes to understand that the paper writer is a girl or a boy, but it is a general fact (besides the fact that girls in general are more sincere and write better papers than boys). Now I tried to think of ways to make the examiner believe that I m a girl writing the paper, so that I get better marks.
I obviously couldn’t change my handwriting or my line of thinking if that is the way in which the identity is revealed. But I resorted to other methods. And funnily enough, it worked.
Chinmay (a friend of mine) and I, had worked out this theory while in the 10th standard. We had these letter and essay writing sections in Hindi and Marathi papers. This was the only section where you wrote anything from your own point of view. So here was a chance to maybe make one believe that I was a girl writing the paper and not a boy. Now it was difficult, because we had to use “meri” instead of “mera”, and these types of changes in our papers. Every sentence had to be written very carefully, so that it had all the feminine adjectives and the changes, so that it seemed what we wanted to achieve. And the results we got proved this. Of course now, we can't compare the marks because the same paper can't be checked twice with different points of view, but the general consensus did match our theory. We undoubtedly scored better. Now was it because we wrote the sections better, or because we wrote them from a girl’s point of view, no one knows and can ever find out, but we did achieve what we wanted.
Another good factor is like when buying tickets. In some theatres, there are separate lines for ladies, which is really very less crowded. While in the men’s line, people are going crazy just keeping their balance. And a girl is always more convincing than a boy in the same position. But ya, girls in general are the trouble makers, and bring about the most problematic situations in life. But then ya, that is how the world is..!!!
So well, be whatever you are, cause in either way, you are very lucky that you are still a human being..!!!
