When Guys cry, Song of the Year and Related Stuff

             Guys can be really sentimental too. Its a trait frequently associated with the fairer sex but its a MYTH!. I know tonnes of guys who start snivelling at the drop of a flower. The guys reading this right now, would be like 'Oh,Yeah!. and would have started flexing their fingers to try throttling yours truly if they could ever get their hands on me. (As if you could!). Cutting the crap now, I am talking about a VERY well-known and VERY-well disguised thing. 
              Guys cry! Now stop calling me a twat and continue reading further, if its possible Mr. Macho.We guys hide this fact for a reason, for THE SIMPLE REASON that we look ridiculous when we do so. Not just ridiculous, Plain Ugly!. If you dont agree with what I say look no furthur, scroll down.

Check out how cute girls look when they cry.. :(  (I can already start feeling sad, as I am typing this!)


                 While girls look adorable when they cry, that you just want to go and hug them and say everything is alright; when a guy does the same, he becomes the root of all the bugging for the week. Its so unfairly tuned into our genetic makeup that girls cry with so much poise,charm and dignity while guys look as if we need to take a poo break.

Want proof?!! Check out these pretty faces when we do bawl...


         I am a guy who is the farthest away from a typical sniveller, all with the way I look with the unruly mop of frizziness that I call my hair, unshaven beard and the brainless crap I keep on blabbering about all the time. But, its a BARE fact that a lovely song, a stunning sunset or a touching movie scene can send my tear glands into full throttle and a Jekyll-Hyde situation unfolds turning this hardy guy into a snivelling 'lass'.(Hint of a sexist here, Bitch Please!.) 
         The fact is that I listened to a song while I was in front of my workspace and 'immersed' in work(Read FBing) when my Philips GoGear(Ya, there are other good music players too, you rotten 'Apple's out there) started playing this blissful song. 'Phir Le Aaya Dil' from that very acclaimed lovely, funny, cute(I am running short of adjectives here) movie 'Barfi!'. 
Oh Barfi!.. Loved it!
       Keeping things short,the song just blew me away. It struck a chord somewhere deep inside that I stopped doing everything else and just sank into the melody of that song. For me, the most important aspect of a song is its soul. If the singer can relate to the soul of the song and render it from his heart, it becomes so much more than just a song. It transcends the earthiness and grows into something blissful,something magical. And in the case of this song, it did just that.
         Great work by Pritam Chakraborty who seemed to have fortunately grown tired of endlessly lifting songs from foreign languages and mindlessly 'remix'ing them with synthesised beats. Swanand Kirkire who penned the scintillating lyrics and Arijit Singh, who sang it gloriously made it the song of the year for me.
Arijit Singh
Pritam-Back with a Bang!
Here is the song for those who haven't heard it. Awesomeness is an understatement.


       I am also a member of the above mentioned, men-who-cry-club. As  a result, without meaning to and inspite of all my great endeavours to stop the tears from straddling down my cheeks and puffing up my face, I started crying. And as luck would have it, the bloody idiots with whom I share office space noticed it and I became the butt of  all the jokes for today. I know for a fact that you sorry-asses also do the very same thing but hey!, that's not macho. Macho!..MY foot. Here is one post for all those sentimental guys who cry out there. We rock because we are the natural ones, who have no pretensions. We laugh when we feel like lauging and we cry when we..ummm!..listen to a song. Ahem!

P.S. And  to answer the question as to  why am I posting this now- Sugar induced high because of the extremely sugary double Nescafe I just drank.
The taste that keeps me going now!.. NESCAFE!

P.P.S I keep on wondering how in the blazes did Pritam came up with such a delightful soundtrack. Of all people Pritam,Seriously!

  6. so what if men cry? i think it is okay to cry even if you are man. There is nothing macho about hiding your emotions and for all those guys who laugh behind your back, ah dont bother to pay attention to them, they wont understand :)
    loved reading your post!

  7. Boy! Am I glad I reached your blog! I thought I was sarcasm's chosen child, but turns out I have a twin! Awesome post - loved the pics; which were better than anything you could have said for effect!

    Btw - some of the major decisions in my life were made amidst tears (and let me assure you, they were not always mine :-D )... so crying is quite cool.

  10. Your post just shows your mind was on a roller-coaster ride when you were writing this. There are so many thoughts but very well executed. I had a smile hanging on my face throughout this post of yours... and when I scrolled down the main page, I realized, I've been here before. You write wayyyy better than I had thought.

    Keep penning your thoughts! Thumbs up! *smiles*

  13. When a girl cry she makes promises to self which latter turns into fun for her. when a boy cries. He vows that he never breaks.

  15. i have seen men cry, and they don't look horrible, in fact seeing some of them cry can move one to tears. If one feels the need to cry there is absolutely nothing wrong in letting it out, instead of keeping everything bottled up inside.
    Many times even women look terrible when they cry.
    Good to know you.
    Oh, why , why this word verification?

  16. Really liked your post. Especially the structure of the post. From tears to Pritam to Nescafe.

    Smooth flow! The guys crying pictures were aptly chosen as actors like Shahrukh or even Dicaprio make "crying" cool.

    Apt choice of pictures; good content and good structure. Entices me to read the rest of the posts too.

    Good work!

  17. Man, I was wailing my guts out after I saw 'Bridges of Madison County'(not proud)

  19. I feel so guilty after laughing my heart out after seeing those pictures of guys crying xD Hahahaha!
    But don't get me wrong. Girls (most girls) love guys who get senti. It makes them feel more comfortable, as if underneath all that feigned macho-ness, even guys cry sometimes. It's a very admirable trait, so stop getting all choked up about it :P

    Yees, I love that song as well! Second favorite after Masakali.
    Great blog! Keep writing!
    PS- Now I'm going to prove that I'm not a robot :P

  20. Ahaha! Funny as hell, but dude, gotta ask u: HOW MANY GIRLS HAVE YOU SEEN CRYING? Sorry to break your bubble, but umm.. how do I say it.. We cry ugly too. Or maybe it looks cute to guys.. I know what I do when I see a hot blubbering mess: run & hide behind the nearest tree. After I get her some help, of course.
    And thanks for those wonderful comments on my blog: it was like coming home after a long sabbatical to a warmth you can find nowhere else :)
