The Unruly Delhi Girls

Fastidious,head strong, cunning, loud mouthed, groovy....Don't worry I'm not trying to remember different words from the dictionary. These words and more ( I can line up a long que!) are ideally used as synonimous with ' delhi girls'. Chances are if you belong to some state other than Delhi you too might have at times associated one of such words or a host of them with delhi chicks( yup..chicks is universally referred to girls but delhi girls have got the privilidge to be solely called as chicks too.).

What inspired me to write a blog was an account that transpired a few days ago. One my of close guy buddies who was looking ...well dishearted finally confessed that his girl friend of barely a year or so is doubting uhumm... my relations with him.

The disheartened guy " yaar...she thinks there is something going on between us. I have tried explaining things to her but to no avail."

Me, completly taken aback, yet trying to act like an agony aunt " oh! why! Didn't you tell her that I'm in a serious relationship for over 3 years now...I'm as good as married for heaven sake! " All right...the line " im almost married" was clearly an exaggeration but 3 years is not a small time frame. Isn't it illogical to doubt someone whose in a long distance relationship thats lasted an eternity? Even if its a long distance relationship?

Anyways, the disheartened guy " I did tell her all that...but....."

Me, now curious more than anything " What did she have to say to that? She doesn't believe that I'm in a relationship or what?"

The disheartened guy " Well...its not that...its just...let it be..."

Me, curiosity taking its toll on me now " Come out with it.Tell me now."

Finally after a round of coaxing that seemed to last till eternity he says" Well she says that she trusts me but not you.She says she doesn't trust 'DELHI GIRLS'."

Well what in the name of the lord did she mean by that! Temper rising inside me as if I was slowly transforming into a lioness...the sharp teeth are on...next comes the edgey claws and voiola! I'm ready to make the kill!

Well I didn't say anything to my already disheartened friend about his disillusioned girl friend. But that really did got me thinking. I have come across couple of other situations where people seem to generalise the 'delhi girls' as being fastidious, clever, cunning and what not! True there are girls like that in delhi...but then aren't these girls in other parts of India too. Fine there number might be more in Delhi but there is a reason for it.

The reason is the society, the people around us and thE way they behave. Delhi girls are judged on everything starting from the way they dress up to the way they speak english to the way they walk to the way they are open about their views to making male friends. If you happen to be a delhi girl and for some unfortunate reason had to visit some other state...god forbid! All my sympathies with you ladies! They are metted out same behavious as is given to foreigners...dupe them, use them and throw them like paper napkins. Thats what the general perception is about them. I think it has got more to do with the fact that they reside in a metropolitan than residing in Delhi.

Did I hear someone say Unity in diversity? Bullshit! When people can't even treat the female crowd belonging to the capitla of the country as equals, who are they to talk about unity?

The way we, the Delhi girls are is due to the exposure of western culture here...No not the exposure to the girls but to the men folk out here. It is difficult for a girl to be docile, meek and submissive ...in short be the haanji ma ji kinds!.... if they want to survive in a state like delhi.

Ever bothered to check the number of rape cases in the capital? Ever faced the ongoing eve teasing while travelling in buses or for that matter even while standing in the balcony of your own house? Life for 'Delhi girls' is not easy. It's about survival of the fittest. You gotta roar to shu away the unwanted people who are there only to create bad news for you.

Anyways whats wrong with the way the delhi girls are? People ( or should i say MCP's...male chuvinistic pigs!) seem to think that they are not lady like. How can you expect a delhi girl to behave like a chandigarh's behnji when the scenario in delhi is completely different and Anywyas who has given the meaning to the word 'lady'? One of my friends have raised 'the lady issue' in her blogs too. I quiet agree with her. If standing up for her rights or speaking her mind is not considered lady like...then be it. I'm elated to be called unlady like!( Though my male friends beg to disagree on this one!)

Delhi Girls...you rock! Keep up the unruly, unladky like behavior!
