Girls talk..

She writes...

Did you know? Girls talk. Don't give me the look now. I mean, they talk TALK. You see, If you pick the most silent girl from the gang, she would still beat the most talktive boy picked from a bunch of guys. Thats the kind of 'talking' am talking about! 

Well, Thats what girls are made of. A few extra glands working for the vocal cords. This is not a theory that i accidently stumbled upon in some chic magazine. Every girl knows this. Its a part of our make up. And its SO cool, you guys have no idea. When a girl is talking with her friend she doesn't just talk about bags and buckets. Guys might probably have a hard time understanding what i am going to say next , but they talk about cars to cartoons to computers, gabbana to ghosts to guys(!), rockets to roses and to everything and anything one could possibly imagine. Girls don't necessarily need to know the thing to talk about it. We talk nevertheless. And that precisely breaks the boundaries of our minds to love/hate something based on our individual prespective. 

By now, most of you reading this would've probably assumed that am just being euphemistic when i say 'Girl's talk' instead of 'Girl's gossip'. If you did my friend, i am sorry, you got the whole thing wrong. Gossip is to simply wag your tongue speaking about others , revealing secrets or simply discussing their life which is of no concern to you. If you agree with the above definition, then probably all these lovely news channels that we have are basically 'gossiping' all the time. Just like there is a subtle difference between news and gossip, so is one between talk and gossip. Oh by the way, We also gossip. *smiles*

A simple example, when a gang of girls plan a get together, you usually find them looking for a place where they can hang out and also sit down and TALK once the partying is done. Because friends, for us it doesn't just work with video games and F1 races. I am guessing, the maximum a guy communicates with his friend while watching a match is when asking him to pass the snack. Am not saying its wrong to not talk. In fact i think its the best equation among us. 

Girls tend to get too emotional when they talk. They can't help it. They need that extra ounce of emotion coupled with a complex thought process to be able to convey a simple message across. Guys dont have to do that. They just never think.*winks*. No, seriously, If you are a girl and you have a good friend in a guy, consider yourself lucky because you just have to talk to your guy friend to forget all your problems. Thats because when you try to tell them your problem , they are probably not listening and so in turn they end up giving you an advice which in the first place you know yourself. So your having a laugh and the guy is feeling triumphant at his extraordinary talent. Now your laughing again. 

And if you are a guy and you happen to have a good friend in a girl, consider yourself a zillion times luckier. Come on, you guys can't be friends with a girl that easy. You are either flirting with her or being a showboat just for the heck of it. That's why the zillion times. Try opening up to your girl friend (not your girlfriend, thats suicidal :-) !!) atleast once in your life, you would know. This is what happens, you blackout for sometime and when you gain consciousness you have no idea what your problems were. (Just dont add a new problem by falling for your girl pal, dude!) They might not have given you solutions to your problems, (even if they did you guys are too chauvinistic to follow them anyway so who are we kidding, right?) but you just threw all your burdens away. That feeling of weightlessness is all you need to understand why a girl listens AND talks.
