Four Quarters of life

Hi friends..i m back with my bag full of crap. Dont have much to do these days, so y not move with the world and adopt the latest trend.."Blogging". Jokes apart...just wanted to share some conversation that i had with my good friend. Around a fortnight back, we had some guests at our place and as such i had to take refuge in his room. It was around 1.30 in the morning...came back from a birthday party thrown by some other friend. Below is the brief of the conversation that took place between him and me..and kept on going for an hour. I recommend reading it till the end.

Every man (hopefully) in his life encounters 4 kinds of woman in his life.... which now onwards i refer to as "Four Quarters of a life" which taken together completes the whole of a man's life. None of the quarters include woman as mother,daughter and sister specifically. So how can rest of the pool can be divided into the 4 categories....lets see :

a) Quarter 1 : People say boys and girls cant be just good friends. For me, it sounded pretty true during the early ages of life (teenage)..but as i grew up and at this point of time writing this blog, i contradict the so called "Fact". Boys and Girls can stay together just as Friends for sure. One can be as much casual with that female friend, as he is with other boys. You can talk to her about anything... and yes "Anything". You dont have to think about the gender of the listener before speaking your heart out. In short still being your girl friend...the romance factor may be completely out of scene in such relationships. These women make up the first quarter of life.

b) Quarter 2 : This is the quarter which is the wealthiest in terms of "Quantity". Everyone has crushes, failed one and those which are still continuing. Sometimes a boy may like a girl more than a friend but the feeling is not same from the other side. Sometimes a girl may have a crush on a boy and he may not be aware of that. You may have saw her at the Grocery shop for the first and the only time increasing the count for this quarter by one.
Sometimes you know that a girl has inclination towards you but still you neither want to proceed on that path nor u want to loose her as a friend. You just want to stay where you are.
This quarter also includes those woman with whom u just want to have "One Night Stand".
All those girls who doesnt fit in other 3 quarters may find a shelter here. You may make as much subsets of this category as u want.

c) Quarter 3 : Now comes the smallest quarter in size. "Woman or Women" whom u love and they feel exact towards u. When you are around her, you are unable to answer how many other beauties have passed along the way. You may want to spend your whole life together talking talking, and talking...and yeah doing some other stuff too.
This is basically an "Add-On" feature to the first quarter with all earlier characteristics remaining same and introducing a new feature of "Love, Romance and Binding".

d) Quarter 4 : Here comes the last and most practical one which inlcudes the Girl whom you are married to i.e. "Your Wife". Thanks to our tradition, if we have all the 3 quarters of our life empty....our parents will definitely fill this one. Woman with whom you have to spend you future with.
Since you "have to"....live it with Joy or Dissatisfaction, it all depends on you. Its the most controversial quarter too because it may be possible that this time the choice is driven by a "Combination of Requirements" as compared to "Spontaneity" which may or may not be very good for your coming life.


We all have our certain quarters filled and may be some of us have non zero values in each quarter (May God help them).
Possibly few have all the quarters vacant till now. Best of luck to those. Since not much time left, you may have to start with the last quarter of life.

Let us all have a look at our life and decide how much filled our Quarters are...


Inference : Now Since i have covered all the quarters of a man's life, lets move on to moral of the story.

For lucky people : All the quarters of the life overlap and the corresponding Woman is really from Venus. And such Men are only found on Mars. (If such Men are on earth too, i prefer calling them Alien.)

For Other's (Universe - Lucky) : Start the journey with last quarter and make other quarters to overlap. After all life is all about fighting till end. And then as Rudyard Kipling has said :

"Yours is the earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"
