a case study

i can't take my mind off the young girls i meet, see or talk to everyday.

and the more i think about these girls, the more i learn. i learn a lot.

let's crack a case study.

a small town girl, who is ok to look at, starts her life in delhi. tagging along is an old friend. a guy, who has promised her, in late night text messages, that he will never let her cry, that he'll take care of her, that he'll protect her from the wolves. she feels secure. but somewhere deep in her mind, she thinks that wolves might be interesting to meet. but why take chances, at least she'll have somebody who'll get her railway reservation done, will drop her at the railway station and pay the coolie in advance.

but those wolves are nice!! they are not boring like this permanent attachment. plus, how often can a woman listen to the same man making those same promises!

so, a new life begins. immediately many wolves notice her. she notices them noticing her. she is confused. although she likes the attention, she is not very sure of the whispered conversations that suddenly stop when she comes too close. once in a while, she looks at everyone, just to check who is looking at her the most. nobody has made a move so far. but the wolves are closing in. her friend is helpless, the wolves are too many, too powerful and too skilled. he has been reduced to a mere spectator to the game of gladiatorial proportions. he is worried about her. but then, at the same time, he is hoping that she falls prey to a wolf. then she'll know his true worth, or, then she'll let him do the "zara zara touch me touch me touch me" kind of routine. that is, if they haven't done this item number before, which i don't think they have, but then, you never know.

so, in order to crack this case study, let me list the factors in the equation once more:

1. a 20 year old, small town, ok looking girl

2. a pack of perenially starving wolves, skills ranging from pure intellect to sheer physicality of conversation and style

3. a lone ranger, guarding his domain, helpless but determined

questions:

1. what will be the girl's fate?

2. will the wolves sleep hungry tonight?

3. what kind of lesson is in store for the guy?
that is something which i am saving for my next post.
