Why men are happier

My first plagiarized blog.


Your last name stays put.
The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Chocolate is just another snack.
You can never be pregnant.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO T-shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal.
Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental -- $100.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck.
One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

One of my favourites couplets

Yunan-o-Misr-o-Roma Sab Mit Gaye Jahan Se
Ab Tak Magar Hai Baki Naam-o-Nishan Hamara
Kuchh Baat Hai Ke Hasti Mit’ti Nahin Hamari
Sadiyon Raha Hai Dushman Daur-e-Zaman Hamara.
- Allama Iqbal

This truly applies to India. Attacked for eons, subdued and punished, it has always reinvented itself and come on top. The underlying dynamic core based on Hindu philosophy added to by Buddhist/Jain beliefs, Sikh gurus and Islamic Sufis and modern scientific method has made India a truly unique country. A country capable of change, adaptation and survival.

What you need to realise about India is that there is alwasy a revolution around the corner, and yet the pace of change is slow. Eons of evolution has taught India that prolonged voilence has never been to its benefit and that sudden changes are of detrimental. So India moves like an elephant, slowly but steadily. It can be goaded or intoxicated to get some more speed out of it, or shackled to slow it down. Yet in the end it will move at its own liesurely pace.

The next century belongs to India.
