Romeo and Juliet

In an Indian Context....Juliet is perfectly savvy...oh a good woman..good at her work..looks good!

Juliet meets Romeo, how is incidental and not important so they say. Romeo hears music..and says you and me babe how about it? Juliet says " Will do whatever my parents say.." - she is lying I tell you (read this as am not sure). tch tch..romeo you guys met for the first time man.

A lovestruck romeo....hangs in there and sure he realizes that its just that the time was wrong. Now is the interesting part. Juliet being an Indian woman needs to get married fast...so she had fallen for chains of silver but now Romeo was gold ( all this relative) she realized! So they continue...month after month passes...Juliet wanted romeo to call everyday...says he gotta show me he likes me right?...romeo didnt get the message...just kept surfing for more options. Man he gotta protect himself right ;)

Juliet had the hand of god play (or lets just say a password) in her life and realised what romeo was doing and kaput....romeo didn't know what hit him. Juliet says...Hey romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack...you shouldn't just preach but practice...have a nice life! Romeo called 17 times(!!!) says all I do is miss you and the way we used to be!

Juliet a woman after all came around...but heavier things now....Juliet was from a different world, she bought expensive clothes, never thought before spending..Romeo simple that he was did not. Juliet had no idea what satvik was...and romeo was almost a priest.

This drove Juliet to almost forget Romeo...till one day..romeo comes and says...babe we are getting married now..and Juliet says ok...(what? did I hear right?)..aah a staunch believer that love doesnt exist...juliet now is burning cds of love songs for romeo(!!!!)

Juliet loves sitting at coffee shops yakking with friends...but has warned all friends now that she will only have coffee with romeo from now on...juliet has also said she will not be disturbed for 2 months as she....no no...doesnt want to set up home etc...she wants to visit all Romeos relatives, she's bought all the sarees afterall. No work for Juliet now..at least temporarily. Juliet will also be veg forever, not drink, not eat onion and garlic and will lead a satvik life forever.

Juliet babe wish you luck...but be a woman to him and not a wife.

hahaha...thats very rightly said and written. Juliet is caught this time in a trap she is ready to explore. Adventurous that she has been, she is accepting this challenge..and believe me, she is nervous / happy / confused yet looking forward to all the excitement. She is accepting each day as a blesing from divinity.

Am going to suggest that Beer be included in satvik diet. Romeo is probably going to need it

All the best to him

lol the biggest mistake women make when they get married. If Juliet will do what Romeo wants, she will also want Romeo to do what she wants later. A true recipe for disaster.

Be a woman to him and not a wife - superb line. Am going to tell my wife about it.

You have a bf/hubby? Lucky guy. I went through your earlier posts and you write well. Very thought provoking. Please accept my compliments.

Keep blogging

Lets see how long Juliet stays satvik and for how long will she ask romeo for coffee.. I doubt whether its juliet who's caught in the trap or the romeo??? :) Lets wait and watch

Perfectly articulated and summed "Be a woman and not a wife" but aint it an incomplete view....biased at that...!

Relationships are more about drawing energies from each other and being symbiotic!
