So Mukhi managed to get a copy of desi and personalized version of "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus"! :-D

Hello Wally...read your post today. Great article and very good insight into subtleties...I also never thought that Mukhi dreamt up any dairy woman..it was his first understanding of how a female mind can possibly think.
He has 3 sisters, but they are very different from the way the diary woman is manifesting herself from the book, she is a deep thinker, responsible for her family and a writer...a woman very different from his sisters and the women he probably sees in the village. Also the diary woman is from a city, since he picked the diary in Ahmedabad. For him, its his way of understanding that city girls are not all that rash and thoughtless as he used to think earlier. And he is using that knowledge to give more margin to Aru.

Good post and was great reading !



Thanks for the reply bluejalpari! I liked your last point, i didn't connect that Mukhi would think of the diary girl as a city girl and therefore have his understanding of city girls be re-adjusted, that's well pointed out, good observation. It gives him that buffer zone to not immediately judge Aru based on his preconceived notions he had of city girls, well said :)

Glad you enjoyed the post, keep writing yourself, i read your longer post as well and it was a great read!

If Mukhi is learning women thru a diary, that diary should be given to all men...cause us women are hardest to understand maybe Eijaz should take a copy home

Lovely analyse by the way


Lol, very true, I think this is a good must read for most men in how to understand women but i also think with the way women reserve the right to change their minds at any given minute, then no book could ever manage to untangle the mysteries or quagmire of the mind of a woman ;)

And Cora, that book Women are from Venus does have it's salient points, men and women are truly different but those differences is what i love, dating someone who is the exact same as you would be boring as heck ;)

Wally,

I guess a part of how we communicate is dependent on the norms of society and the nature of society too.

I did read the book (my ex gifted it to me) but a part of me felt that it was written with observations based on mostly mono cultural, homogeneous place like USA and while some of the results can differ. And not just on individual level.

On other note, it seems like me you have done the disappearing act too!
