Kiran.

The ad’s punch line “You are the woman of today, confident and charismatic” must have been inspired from this supposed babe, kiran! I can bet my life on this. On second thoughts, nope .One doesn’t bet on life for such trivial women.

The ad was surely not inspired from that one standing next to the ticket counter. The one adorned with jasmine and some arbit orange flowers on her hay like oiled hair. Now wait; did anyone on “style check” ever say women look gorgeous if they wear Nike shoes and kanchipuram sari together?

This proves that not all women of “this age” are charismatic.

Look at me, for instance. Kiran would probably ask me if I’m the “Long nosed idiot's” secretary or worse still his servant maid .I’m sure I look like one major looser.

But I can always tell her, “Look,On all Wednesdays between 10 and 11Am, I look ugly”.

Pretty convincing, eh? I don’t care, really. Who is this kiran? Why should I get all worked up now? She is some friend of some crazy male colleague who I’m picking up from the airport, because he is busy with some meeting with someone. I’ve never felt more stupid than this, carrying a name board and glaring at every hot woman passing by.

Okie agreed, she probably might look like a damsel from the dreams.
May be wearing a pink satin sari and carrying it off very well like no other soul in the female species ever has. The sari might just about fall so sensuously well over her curvaceous body making the men around turn their heads (or just halt there) and the women scorn.

Women are not jealous creatures; they are infact very generous in giving compliments (unlike men) and have a high aesthetic sense. But the universal truth remains that these so-called gorgeous women are hallow in their heads. And yes, I don’t have a taste for dumb women. I’m referring to the ones who have nothing but that charming smile and a great bod to their credit.

Come on, who am I fooling? I have actually come across loads of women who are both beautiful and intelligent. But just that I fervently hope that my husband doesn’t meet someone like that.

Yeah anyway, I’m just feeling worse about myself for choosing to wear this dull faded kurta today. Not that I’ve lots of choice anyway but yet, at least I could have made it a point to wear those huge loop earrings I got last week and carried that glossy lipstick along.

I’m almost dead sure that kiran would ask me, once we are back in the taxi
“Did you just get up from sleep? Are you tired or anemic or both?”

And then I would reply “Yes,i got up late today and also that it is "the Wednesday". Otherwise I’m all wings all the time”. I will just use my flowery language skills and act as if I’m something too.

But the point is even those who just about get up from the bed and go to pick up someone from the airport can look amazing. Like sushmita sen,in one of those movies I watched last Saturday.(of course the evening show). It is a great skill to have the entire make up on, even after 10hrs of sleep. Not all women are like me, eating away the lipstick in exactly 3minutes and 20seconds.

Oh yeah, so when that long nosed idiot requested me to pick up “kiran” from the airport, I asked “who, what, why?”

He just simply winked at me (nasty man) and replied “Someone hautee”. Oh yeah, I know the kind of women he “sees”; so it was no herculean task to guess that she would be yet another bombshell imported from his aamchi Mumbai.

Like the ones who wear those décolleté black tops and denim skirt which has slits all over the place and shop in Fashion Street all day. Or those who sit on the ‘bandstand rock’ stylishly crossing their legs, blinking the lilac eyes lashes a 10k times in 2minutes and smile a lot at the hunk sitting on the nearby rock rather than her own boy friend.

Oh, how so well I know these “hey,I don’t care” reckless women!!

That tells me, she can’t be adorned in a sari. I was all wrong about the pink sari and stuff. Some scoop neck t-shirt or white tank top, 5inches heels and a sexy goggles hanging from her burgundy colored hair. That is what she must look like, perfect. Her facial features have to be immaculate.

And also, she……….

“Excuse me”

“Yes?”

“Hi, I’m Kiran” HE said.
