Ex-pectation setting !!
I am in those years of my life, when there are hook ups and engagements and weddings taking place left, right and center, around me. And the perpetual (at least for the time being) question that haunts my dear ones is this - when will we hear about you ?
I am like..What ????? Abhi to main nanhi munni hoon.
sigh..That's not a perfect escape plan. But the actual answer is 'I don't know'. Because I don't know what kind of person I want to be with. I mean you ask me about harry potter, clearance sales, laplace transforms, dc-dc converters, Hindi movies, English movies, where to watch them, cooking tips, I will answer most of the questions right. But this one is a tough nut. Plus the fact that I like to dodge it, is another issue. I mean can we get an exact set of expectations ? I will always want more. I know about myself and I also know that he should complement me. Again no idea, what way.
Anyways, over the past few weeks, after much deliberation in this direction, some things which came into my mind are:
1. The guy needs to have a madness quotient about him. Not someone who is always talking about how much he knows, how cool he is, trying to impress me. Instead someone, who can take me for a ride in a funny way. So the madness quotient = knack of making me laugh in the most serious and shitty situations.
2. He should have dreams. May be we can sit together one evening and dream for 'US' :) aww..how romantic !! I think dreaming increases the romance quotient.
3. The guy should respect others. Yeah. Not just humans, but other living beings too !!
4. Bande mein kuch baat ho. The X-factor may be ;)
5. And last but not the least, he should be real !!!
Ok. So that was about the guy. Well, the girl will be his bestest friend, caring wife, super cool girl friend and a companion for life. Who will let him have the remote during cricket and football matches and grab it during tennis matches. Who will just stay calm and may be cry, if they have a fight. A girl who will need total isolation, a retreat once in a while.
Baki I am like every other girl, who can be extremely girly on some sunny days and extremely tom boyish on some grey days.
A girl who likes to be taken out for expensive dates once in a while and given the princess like treatment.
A girl who is very nonchalant about her looks, but at the same time can drive him crazy to buy that expensive dress/shoes.
A girl who is very sensitive, but at the same time can be a rock solid pillar in the face of adversity.
A girl who does not really care what others think, if she thinks she is doing the right thing.
A girl who is totally mad too, though at times.
A girl who can be really geeky and immersed in her books and studies and forgets everything. Even about his supper :P
A girl who will take care of all the important details of his life, if he just carves her birthday in his mind and never forgets to make that day special !!
A girl who is capable of unconditional love.
A girl who knows, any guy who reads this will make sure to keep his distance from her, but who is still writing this.
So as I told you, I just know about myself. Self obsession ka bug, koi dawa asar na kare !!
Again I am not entirely sure if I answered the perpetual question, but at least this is a better come back.

P.S. I lied in the post. I had given that 5 point answer, to a question asked by a colleague from office. So that deliberation of thought was a booby trap :P I think I will act on an impulse in these matters :)
