To be precise, the year started in a very very bad note , continued with mixed emotions slowly transformed into the one that helped me achieve my dreams and has landed me in a good position.

The key highlights of my year 2007 were:-

1. CAT 2006 gone ....
2. Some great disappointments in career. People I believed left me desolated.
3. Some great Project implementations. Got great hikes.
4. Determined to crack into Microsoft.
5. Got Offer from Microsoft
6. Brother getting the job in his 3rd year itself.
7. Quit my first job.
8. Joined Microsoft.  Achieved the Unthinkable

and lots more..........

So was it a good year or not

It looks like Bad --> Good --> Very Good.  Hope my next year will be very good. Lets hope for the best. Let it start on a good note this time.

This is not a post that  I have prepared well or thought about a lot. Went for a dinner with my friends and heard 3 love stories at one time. Then switched on the music player and I heard Backstreet boys singing 'Show me the meaning of love' and 'Quit playing with my heart'. Suddenly I started thinking of why i'm not hearing many girls cribbing over their love failures or their past crushes. Why are men behind women? Is that a general tendency or is it that women are more conservative.  I neither have a sister nor have some very close friends of the opposite sex. So started thinking with a set of assumptions.

Why is this topic? you could visible note the changes in the behavior/appearance of a man who fails in love. But this is not apparent in the case of woman. At least I have not noted it. This is the first and the foremost assumption that I have made.

Here are the reasons that came across my mind:-

1.  Are men more soft hearted?
2.  Whether women are capable of shrugging the feelings off soon?
3.  Whether men set the priorities high for a woman?

Let me discuss each of these in a subtle detail below:-

Are Men more soft hearted?

We have seen men who have sacrificed their life for the sake of love. We have seen men who were generous enough to let their Lady Love to other man for the sake of her life. We have seen men who  have left their careers for being behind a woman. And one blunt truth... We have seen men who leave their long time friends to be behind a woman. I do not say that there is no woman who has done all these for the sake of a man. But the proportion and probability is very less.

Whether Women are capable of shrugging the feelings off soon?

Does this mean that women do not have feelings of the lost love at all.. It is not the case. Most of the love stories end in one way.. the Juliet of the story gets married . So obviously they get more engaged and involved . Women do not have time to think of what that lost love cost them.. is it so dear or is it rather cheap.. Men are always lazy and they always go hunt for the comfort zone. Men always love to be in the arms of someone, be it either friend or mother or father or sister or  a lovely one. and when his lady love moves out he falls into the comfort zone of cribbing about her. So how does it get reduced.. Don't know.. i don't have the experience of it.  So how does a woman shrug of her feelings.  Women are naturally intelligent. They do have that acumen to prioritize it accordingly. Men should learn to prioritize accordingly.

Whether men give high priorities for women?

Yes. This is the cause for all the problems. Why should a man give more high priorities to a woman. It is natural and it has embed in the culture as we see 'Ladies first' and showing that courtesy towards woman. We men tend to be the first to open a door for a woman. In Indian hotels i have not seen a woman opening doors for me.. is this one field that woman has not come into. Ok.. we leave our places for women. We get enthusiastic about the time we have spent just talking with a pretty woman. We Men write or tell stories about it. Do women do the same? 

So will a womanly attitude of a man towards a woman help him get rid of his feelings. Should man learn to prioritize his feelings. Should man learn to be more hard hearted. Or is it that the entire set of lines written above is wrong and women suffer more strong feelings than men. Voice your opinions in the comment section below.
