women in men's clothing?

Its funny with Indian men. They are more in touch with their feminine side than their caucasian (or for that matter african) counterparts. Most Indian men i know seem to fall in love as soon as they hit third base. By fourth base they want to marry the girl.
I blame the terminology..seriously..1st base..2nd base..3rd base? How do you expect these poor desis to know abt baseball. It should have been run out..hat-trick..century.. or some such cricket terms. Then they wudn't be as confused and..shuld i say..sissy. Or is that part inbibed in our spirit as emotionally superior men(...almost women?).
Indian women, for their part, are increasingly more open to casual flings, one-night stands or sex-with no-strings-attached. Are we witnessing a swapping of psycho-sexual behaviour? I think the best example of changing women's views is this quote from my "single till i die" female friend. She said-"The world is coming to an end anyways...why the fuck are people worried about love..doesn't survival have to be the top priority."
Amen to that.

bathroom treatment

My city (mumbai) is being treated like a bathroom. The fact that its been raining like crazy and the streets look like giant bathtubs doesn't help. Civic sense had always been non-existent and public urination is rampant. But this time its the authorities.
Today, as I drove around the suburbs, i noticed that more and more tar roads are being replaced by tiles (they call them paver blocks). The romantic might liken them to cobblestoned roads built at the turn of the century.
But, mostly the civic authorities use this method cause they're easier and cheaper to replace as compared to tar roads.
I like tiles in the bathroom! But on the streets?
I'm not complaining. Its better than pothole ridden roads. Its just funny. The world moved from paver-blocks to tar and we're going the other way around.
