Place : on the road radio playing in background
The RJ throws an interesting question to the listeners…
they say “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” and this modern times when everyone doesn’t know how to cook what could be the other way to a man’s heart… i really found the question interesting because it makes think beyond the conventions
and here are some of the replies for u
Caller no 1 (male) : there are a lot of ways she can get to the man’s heart but if she wants to stay there she has to know cooking
Caller no 2 (male) : no no there is no other way, its like women need love whatever we do for them but love is needed same way cooking is needed for us
Caller no 3 (female) : emotional intelligence, the girl u should have it (thank god i like this answer)
Caller no 4 (male) : the girl should be dressed in Indian traditional clothes… she should not wear western clothes… all those skimpy clothes are not for Indian girls… (mutalik in the making)
RJ: so by traditional clothes u mean sarees or salwar kameez also? (with a shock and a hint of sarcasm in the voice)
Caller no 4 : ok salwar kameez is fine but they should not wear western clothes
RJ: so do u have a gf?
Caller no 4: yes
RJ: and she wears only salwar kameez
Caller no 4: yes she has to she is a nice girl
Caller no 5 (male) : when i come home after a hard days of work she should give me hot cup of tea and a good leg massage (which world is he living in) and should not argue with me (bascially just shut up and listen to me)
Caller no 6 (male) : the girl should listen to me, should be simple, not wear western clothes, do cooking and other household work and should be loving (this takes the cake isnt I guess the RJ also couldn’t stand it anymore)
RJ: so u mean the girl should be ur doll…
Caller no 6: yes (I mean he said yes to that????)
RJ: oh my my u have the audacity to come and say that on radio too….
Caller no 6: its the truth
RJ: ok may u find urself a doll like that (i had a feeling she wanted to say more but couldn’t)
At this point I switched channels couldn’t stand it anymore…and this in a city which is supposed to be cosmopolitan youth centric city…. and all the callers were young…
If the youth of our conutry are thinking like that do we need a mutalik???? where are we heading to?
Monika's World 
first !
😀
oh dear !!
sigh !
hitchy do something man
Its been long since I had a fight and bashed some one up… !! this guy along with the one that OG commented upon need to be bashed up… they cant be explained nething…
they just need to be bashed up !
Surprised, really with the men/mutaliks, what can i say??? There still exists the male chauvinist thinkers and that too a lot of them
makes me sad and depresed Sumana
Oh, PuneTimes(the paper) is full of such nonsense. Sometimes I feel maybe people are just fooling around.
My guess is the rational kinds probably never sms back a reply or call radio stations.
but sunita why are so many irrational people there, how come????????????
excuse me, i didn’t quite get what this person is saying:
“Caller no 2 (male) : no no there is no other way, its like women need love whatever we do for them but love is needed same way cooking is needed for us”
he meant that whatever we do how much ever good we are we should cook too just as we need love from our man they need food… disgusting logic puja
Goodness!
Time to get the pink chaddis out again. (We’re gonna need so many !sigh!)
sigh…..
I am shocked that young people can actually think like this! I seriously believed that its the parents who always thought so.
But reading this, its scary to think that many of the women who might think nothing on these lines will be sought to resort to agreeing and doing as these men want 😦
Aathira the point is there will be women who think like this too, raised by parents who firmly believe in those fundas of life and together they will raise kids who think like this too…
dont know where and how to break this
I had a hundred expletives in my mind for these fuckers…oops slipped one out there 😛
Wonder what the world is going to….
in my mind i had them too Silv… sigh
Really???? You know I have stayed in Bangalore for around 3 Months and the stay wouldn’t qualify as best of the times hassled by Auto Wallahs, non available movie tickets, all the time traffic. But this takes it to a whole new dimension, I mean the part which actually made Bangalore awesome for me was the cosmo crowd, but people like this I think it might be loosing the best it ever had.
I simply wonder what this country needs better education, enlightenment, or the revolt from people of the contemporary society
Prats Blore is not bad u know 🙂 it has its problems like every city and u named a few but still its a lovely city 😀
i think all u said put together plus taking rooting these things in our kids might MIGHT just be the solution
OMG, i can’t believe it. The world is heading to….don’t know where 😦
I agree…Not even people think so…they even have the audacity to say it all in public.
When are we going to wake up and get some sense??????????
I dont know bharti I always thought that education is the solution but oflate that also doesnt seem so….
if they think like this, they will raise their kids to think like that too 😦 and it will continue
You know Monika, in my experience, men who have no self worth are the ones who need to undermine the women, and have them massage their ego. And these are the only kind of men who would treat their women this way. There are loads of them in every generation, and in every country. Sad but very very true.
GM i agree but it needs to go away and i thought the youth of today will be a tad better but alas
Shocking really! Where is our youth heading to? Don’t they just look around the changing world and realise that it’s time for them to come out of their comfort zone?
I wonder what comfort zone are they talking about sue… whats their comfort zone got to do with how we dress???? years of conditioning i say
this cant be true.. not in bangalore..no ways!! i am shocked beyond words..
i have the same reaction Iya… couldn’t believe this happened in blore probably anywhere else I wouldn’t have been so shocked
Shocking! I am surprised that such fossils still exist!!! The one with the ‘leg massage’ took the cake!!! Talk about expectations!
the fossils seems to be in numbers smitha 😦
aiyo! monika!!! 😐
what a waste of life…..god shud had made some more animals or trees or birsd instead of these characters…total waste of life..
unfortunately, they do get the kinda wives they are looking for. becoz many fathers and mothers are raising their daughters to be exactly as described by these jerks…
and they connet it with the definition od “homely and good”
😦
i agree crafty what a waste of life and thats what i have been repeating that the onus lies on us to raise our kids so that the sons dont talk like this and the daughters dont become like this
surprising & also disgusting. How can people still think in these lines!!
namesake it shocked me beyond measure
They are still living somewhere in the 15th century.
ya and taking the country there too 😦
Wow! And I thought the world was changing. Well, many couples I know respect and help each other as they should. So the mindset is definitely changing… Why didn’t you call them to give a piece of your mind? 🙂 Liked your new blog appearance…
i thought so too joy, but i guess the problem is as Sunitha said that people who have changed dont bother to call (just as I didnt to give them a peace of mind) and the people who did are still living in some world…
and thanks girl
yeah right.. i love these guys… umm.. one might as well learn to cook like the mother – what say?
ya lets rush to the kitchen where are all the cook books 😀
ah, democratically speaking, theyr entltiled to representation, and mutalik IS their voice… who can blame them….?
ya u seem to have a point there… :((
you are awared!!!!
Really pathetic!
U may say me mutalik….or hindu extremist.
But still I need a girlfriend who can cook well, gv me massage and finally should be completely Indian !!!!
see i have no problems in anyone wanting a gf or a wife who can cook well or give a massage as long as those are not the primary expectations and also as long as the man is ready to oblige somewhere else….
i mean its all about equality and respect
and asit may i know what u mean by completely indian?
Way to stomach is from? 😀 hehehe….
Am sure the guys were having fun with the RJ..Looks like they stirred your pot too…Must be a miniscule portion which thinks like this if at all for real…
no WM they all sounded serious and i so hope the minuscule is true but i dont think so
disgusting!!
😦
this is our youth?
ya where are we heading to indy????????????
Monika many times these guys think this is the ‘right’ answer to give, they may not have any idea what to expect from a relationship. Confused souls. I feel sorry for them, because unless they mature they have lonely lives and unhappy wives ahead.
IHM it makes everyone just unhappy and i wonder why do they still think like that
Every time I listen to the FM channel in my car ( only time I can tolerate it) there is something like this or young girls cooing about what they expect from a man. They also have some pretty regressive views.
I think 75% of the youth still go for stereotypes.
