I too tend to think that KPji subscribes to the usool of the very same samaj that he claims to revile...he has done nothing so far to denounce the regressive, anti-women traditions and beliefs that are part of our social make-up...
On the contrary, he is subscribing to the ultimate (creative/ pseudo intellectual) male fantasy...a physical companion to cater to his baser needs and take care of his home and an intellectual companion ( in the name of friendship) to inspire his creativity/ thinking ...and if a woman dares to consider the same, she will be dubbed a floozy and burnt alive at the stakes...
Wah re wah yeh intellectual/creative mard types...give me the Rowdy Rathore/ Chulbul Pandey types any day...at least you know exactly what to expect from them...
