Pyaar ke side effects The female version

Pyaar Ke Side Effects:

Overtime - If you are in a 9 - 5 job, and your boyfriend goes to office from 11am - 11pm, you have to do Overtime!!! Meaning, you sleep late, get up early.. make food after you get home (even if you have had the toughest day in your life, first cook his food)..

Khaana Pakana - as much as he might be OK with you not knowing how to cook, he expects you will learn and make him some good food, if not as good as his moms (never will be), atleast something edible..

Food changes everything - His mood, his feelings for you, his opinion of you..Believe me, EVERYTHING!!

His friends/ your friends – become 'Our Friends'

'Commitment' – the word that scares him the most in the English dictionary..

The 2-faced man – as much as he likes you to be 'western' in your clothing, he would Really prefer the traditional girl in you..

The Kid - Men will always be boys!!! They don't grow up.. EVER!!!!

Appreciate his brilliance from time to time - Men like to be appreciated for their ideas/ methods / conversations / advice.. Many of the brilliant conversations come after a few pegs are down.. (they may be repetitive, but, don't notice).. So, give it to him

Tell him who you find HOT / SEXY.. He doesn't believe in the line, " Tu hi to mera sansar hai.. Aisa mera pyaar hai".. He wants to know who his competition is!! (Even though there may be none)

Momma's boy – At the end, Momma knows everything & you don't know anything!

'The Image" – 'I don't fall for ANY girl.. Girls fall for me" Poor dude, doesn't know when reality hits him, "Chappad phaad ke deta hai!!"

Most common gene - "I am emotionally stable & mature" - Yeah, and I am the princess of Narnia!!

Decision Maker – he makes ALL the decisions in the house.. He decides which bank account the money comes out of – urs or mine!?

Sports - "Even if the streets are filled with riots, and there is an Arsenal – Chelsea match, the match is more important.. Don't dishturb!" Even if they don't understand the sport, they have to watch it & make comments.

Friends - Constant comparison as to whether they are 'Joey' or 'Chandler' or 'Ross', and couldn't care less about which of them you are..

The Acid test - The best Friend!

Weekend – "Life is a weekend" – it seems that they live from Sunday to Saturday, and thus you work Overtime (refer to point no. 1) during the week.. and you don't even get any extra credit for it!

Gossip Mongrels – He wants all the gossip on your friends, but, wont accept that its gossip, coz, then, its called 'An update'!

Smoking – Time pass & a good reason to check out the women at office..

Women Effect - The ex-s, the present, mom, sister, sister-in-law, cousin sister, all the women in his life- His biggest balancing act!

Work-life balance- He is always the busy one at work.. If by any chance you are busy one day, god help you!!!

Flirting – He thinks it's an art, and he knows it! Worst of all, he thinks that's how he got you..

Fights & Makeup – Goes by the assumption that a kiss or a rose is all that you need to patch up after a fight.. I say, "Be a man", "Mard Ban"; Lets talk!!

TV Remote – What is that?

"Who is she talking to for SO long?" – Dude, its only been 10 minutes!
"Your phone is constantly engaged.. Who are you talking to?" (no matter what the reply, its not good enough)
"Make tea na… Get me biscuits… Maggiiiiiii…" – Get a cook!!
"What are we doing for dinner tonight?" - Like I have a say in the matter!!!!
"Uff.. How much Shopping will you do?" – even when the last time you went Shopping was 3 months back!
