Sex, scents and some secrets - Part II

Do you have the ‘dragon’ moves that would make a woman open up? Different tricks work for different types…


So we settled down in our chairs in Swapna’s room. I had a presentation to make the next day and Swapna had to work on some customer proposal. I finished my work first. Well, it took double the time due to my frequent and stealthy appreciation of her smooth cheeks. But she was concentrating on her work.

Swapna has hundreds of men as friends. Even her simplest coughs in facebook would be ardently theorized by tens of them. I had been curious to know what makes her tick, how she keeps these men at fence, her vulnerabilities, her sensitivities, her love life, sexual habits…

I asked Swapna if she would like to take a break and see some magic. I was sure that would work, knowing her frivolous inner child. Bingo! She moved away from her laptop and got ready to be amused. Clapping, wowing and cooing, she insisted on learning some of the tricks herself. So I had to teach by holding her hands and thereby breaking the physical barrier between us. Of course, I had to remind myself that I am the writer here and she is my subject.

I took a pen, held her palm in mine and started asking the questions.

“What is your favorite color?”
“What is your favorite pet?”
“What appeals to you the most – sea, mountains or forests?”


For every answer, I am drawing some strange marks on her palm. Hoping that I would come out with some predictions, Swapna was innocently answering everything.

“How tall is your boyfriend?”

She wonders a bit “Which one?” But she blurts the answer out. And clarifies later that she is not exclusive with him though.

A few such questions later, it finally turns into something exciting.

“What is your favorite sexual position?”


At which point, Swapna says she doesn’t know.

“You mean, your boyfriend is a gay or something?”

“I guess not”

“You GUESS?… you mean…. Uh, you both…. Well?”

The secret that she shared is what triggered me to write about her.

“Mmm.... I am 33 years old, there were a lot of men in my life. And I AM A VIRGIN. Thats how I keep it”.

And when I recovered, I murmured the last question, “What is your favorite soap?”. She says something and I tell her to go and wash her palm with that. She did unleash a few blows on me.

And when I left her about an hour later, she still remained a virgin.

  1. Ehmmmm.... somehow reading part II felt like a disconnection in term of the style of writing... Felt like there's a rush to quickly kill Swapna... Not much of the sense of anticipation built like part I...

    Nevertheless... quite doubtful that a lady of 33 would just announce to the world "I'M A VIRGIN"
    A lady of Swapna's nature would be rather subtle like "I don't believe in sex before marriage" or "I don't make it a habit of jumping into a man's bed"...

    Could your raging hormone swallowed her subtlety in a way?

  2. Rose, yes, your assessment of the subject's nature is a bull's-eye hit. Preoccupied and restless, i just went about rolling this out. What I can say... I can hardly disagree with any of your points.

    Thanks a lot for the critique, will keep them in mind.

A Date - Part 1

“Good Morning. How is everything? Did you manage to have an early breakfast date with yourself?” I was on the bed in a hotel room in Jakarta when that SMS woke me up. I only managed to get a very few hours of sleep that night. Even in that, my mind went churning non-stop on some meaningless, unconnected things. I was literally aware of all that turmoil in the half sleep, twisting and tossing through it. Back to the SMS. All the SMS I get usually are with a single consistent purpose - my colleagues trying to find my whereabouts. Note - none of them is a hot babe. (This is altogether a different topic - how come no hot chick in this whole damn world manages to become an IT architect!!) Oh, for a change, I do occasionally get some irritating marketing campaigns. So, it is not a wonder that this message sprang me awake like a Maasai Warrior. (Maasai are an African tribe famous for their ability to rise from the deepest sleep to a state of total combat readiness in a matter of seconds)...

Reboot the Universe - Part 1

Let me warn you first. This is going to be a damn serious reading. I have access to a certain secret button. The button that reboots the Universe! At this point, if you are my wife or anyone else that doesn’t take me seriously, you better quit reading. If you are chatty Praful, naughty Babul, genius-explored Thakkali, genius-unexplored Hendry I, genius-recently-explored Henry A, Hilarious K, Cy - a big Welcome! If you are a stranger here, you have beaten an odd of 2,317,563,890,001 : 1 in hitting an intelligent blog. Congrats! If you are me, you are really sexy, sensational, cool, etc etc and btw finish writing this fast. It all started when she settled in the Starbucks at 11AM, Latitude14° 35’ N and Longitude 120° 57E. It was a working day. Hush, don’t ask. She is random. Dazzlingly random. And she needs to be in random places to get into her genius moments. But that crumby place was so noisy that she had to plead God’s help. Then she suddenly realized (or over heard from the noise...

The Great Indian Divide - Part 1

Have you combed an Indian metro recently? What struck you as the blinding flash of the obvious? The shining India? AND also in a few meters, a POOR nation caught in the slip stream of capitalism? An economic divide ? AND hence a cultural divide ? In short, did you notice the Class Conflict ? It’s the same class conflict or “alienation” that Karl Marx saw in the late 1800s. This has been a cause of my reluctance to move back to India. Because common sense and history tells that such class conflicts will result in social unrest and ugly revolutions as small as “mangalore bar attacks” (google it) to something as catastrophic as the French Revolution. What is the cause for this great Indian divide? The answer is “Knowledge Economy” and the “Knowledge Workers”. Let me dummify these terms first. Think of a line (like the poverty line) called the machine line . You are above the machine line if machines are your slaves. For example, a biotechnologist or a banker who uses a computer to get hi...
