What falling in love means to Alok

I can write a book about Alok. He is such an interesting guy who always throws up new dimensions in life. This post is about how Alok became a better person by just trying to fall in love. The fact that he is still trying to fall in love is what is making him a better person than any one of us.

Alok will go to any extent to woo a girl. When I say any extent, it includes waking up early in the morning to go for a jog, or keeping awake till 12 in the midnight to make those secret calls, traveling 50 kilometers just to catch the scent of a woman. You name it he does it. No, he was not a bad guy at all, he just used to get goose bumps at the mere mention of the word girls. Something used to excite him, keep him on his toes and he usually became a superman when it came to impressing girls.

How can we forget “GP”? It was because of her Alok learnt shorthand. GP was taking her typewriting and short hand classes at an institute in our neighborhood. Alok had set his eyes on her and decided to woo her at the institute. He stayed 15 kilometers away from this institute. Not that he did not have any institutes teaching shorthand near his house, but it was just that GP was not in one of those institutes. After three months of Hardly learning anything alok gave his shorthand exams and also gave a short love letter to GP. His love proposal failed but Alok cleared his shorthand exams.

Alok never quits. That’s what I like about him. He had already by then enquired on Karate classes as Prethi was going there. He got a brown belt. He joined Yoga classes for Yamini, swimming classes for Priya, horse riding for Payal, Aerobics for Sheetal. None of his affairs clicked but at the end he had learned so many things from, shorthand to aerobics. He is one of the most eligible bachelors available on the face of earth now. May be all of us have a lesson to learn from Alok. It does not matter how many times you fail, but it is what you learn from them.

But straight opposite to Alok was our Munna. He never ventured out of his house trying to learn anything. He learnt so many things inside his house itself. He learned to keep his house clean, fold clothes, dust the fan, mop the floor, use the vacuum cleaner, clear the garbage tins, cook and what not? Today he is a happily married guy.

So the bottom-line: What women want? Alok kind of guys or Munna kind of guys? Hope some girl posts her comment on this.

Finally before I leave I have to tell you something. I heard Alok has joined French classes (He never quits).

Back word (opposite of foreword)
This post would not have been possible but for the constant feed back received from my friends of their never ending learning process.
