Girls

In My Life

"Planks of wood brought together by waves of sea, stayed together for sometime, and drifted apart from each other by the same waves that brought them close"

This was my first trial of Khushwant singh & it was a cherishing memory to recall the circumstance I had gone thru while reading his book.

Inspired by Mr. Khuswant Singh and his character "Mohan Kumar" from "The Company Of Women", I've decided to put down on paper everything about "The Girls in My Life".

Well you can say its a recluse or even a self chatter. For me it will be like going down the lanes of memory and re-discovering myself - the way I behaved, the way they behaved with me and what led to the bond or breakage between us.

I have met a lot of girls in my life:
Some are still in touch.
Some I want to be in touch but whom I have lost in the darkness of time.
Some might be searching for me but I haven't given them enough time to find me.
Some I love so dearly but who dumped me for reasons unknown.
Some who love me but I don't wish to get along with for reasons unknown.

However, unlike Mr. Khuswant Singh in "The Company of Women", I promise, I wont write anything from a third party angle. I mean there will be no "Mohan Kumar" to cover me for what I have done.


The list will include all the girls - I mean all of them who crossed my way till date. The story will include all vivid memories - true to the heart even if it is explicit or exclusive or sensuous or embarrassing.

I know most of them won't spare me for being so open - but it will be as it was. My age even may not permit me to be so open at this stage of my career, however, it will be something close to my heart which will give solace to this wanderlust soul.

Mr. Khuswant Singh - after all I know it was you and not Mohan Kumar who was the main character in "The Company of Women".

On Khuswant Singh

Malice. The word is synonymous with Khuswant Singh; his pen has spared no one... .... as written in "The Big Book Of Malice".

Irrepressible, Cuttingly Candid, Provocatively Truthful, Saucy - Khuswant Singh as described in one of his books "Women & Men In My Life".

Womanizer, Lecher, Unable to control his libido but an "Emotional Fool" thinking from heart, gypsy at heart always roaming around in dream land Caring, Loving, Understanding, Nomadic, Vagabond - this is how I'd like to describe Khuswant Singh.

I didn't know much about this writer (Even now I know least about his personal life) till some 8 years back when my neighbour "Neil Eric" handed over a book to me - "The Company of Women" written by Khuswant Singh.

I devoured each page of the book throughly enjoying each and every word of it. "Fucking" sells might have been the "Mantra" behind this great author's publicity and fame, however, even "Fucking" without brains leads to all sort of problems.

Khuswant Singh has the brains to use a proper "Protection" to avoid all sort of post "fucking" anomalies.

And yes, after going through his first (for me) book - The Company of Women, I have read all other books written by him including "Book of Unforgettable Women", Malicious Gossip", " More Malicious Gossip", Women & Men In My Life", " The Big Book Of Malice".

What I enjoyed reading the most were "The Company of Women" and "Women & Men In My Life".

No prizes in guessing that I did liked reading most of his books written around Women.

Does the above description for Mr. Khuswant Singh holds true for me then?

Yes, inspired by him and his character "Mohan Kumar" from The Company Of Women, I've decided to put down on paper everything about "The Girls in My Life".
