Ajay (name changed) called me up at my extn and asked me to come to Terminal for a coffee.  His voice was not as usual and i had guessed that something has gone wrong.  We took coffee and placed ourselves at the seats of near by table.  Until then the conversion was casual. Before i open my mouth, all of sudden he started crying.. he started crying like a child. I didn’t stop him.  Men are conditioned to not to cry. No matter what happens, you should not cry. This is what their subconscious mind instructs. If a man is crying, well you know.. the matter is very very very serious. After five minutes or so, he stopped crying and said “she deceived me“.

This incident happened 6 months back. Why i am telling you this now?

Last week, she got married ofcourse to some other guy and not to Ajay. And he is still unable to forget her after six months of break up and even if she got married.

Ajay is a type of person who always smiles, makes everyone cheer and very friendly. You have to meet to him to know him. Now also he does the same thing. He smiles at everyone.. a false smile that covers the scar. He smiles to hide his tears.

Why men cannot forget that whatever happened? Why can’t they move on?

How women adapt themselves so easily within a short span of time? Don’t they have heart?  Don’t they feel?

Why woman do this? Why she dumps him?

Q. Why men cannot forget that whatever happened? Why can’t they move on?

A:  Answer is already given. Men are not conditioned to accept failure. They are not conditioned to hear “NO”. A male child grows in a family with all privileges. He will get whatever he wants from his parents, be it a chocolate or a bicycle or a bike. He gets it. His mom never says no to him and gives him whatever he wants. He was not conditioned to hear NO since from his childhood. There time comes when someone makes him this realize.. when someone dumps him.  He spend his whole life wondering “how she could do this to him ? ” Well, he forgets that “she” is not his “mom“.

Q. How women adapt themselves so easily within a short span of time? Don’t they have heart?  Don’t they feel?

A:  How they adapt so easily? God made them that way. Don’t they have heart?  Yes, they have. Don’t they feel? Don’t they get hurt? Yes, they will. It is not that women forget everything very easily. But, they adapt themselves to new environment very easily.  That’s why a man takes ages to forget the one he loved and a woman a very short span of time. If she gets someone to console her at that time, she won’t take much time to get back to normal routine life.

Q. Why woman do this? Why she dumps him?

A: Answer for this is the title of the post. “Grass is always green at the other side of the fence”.  There is one school of thought saying, “you should not search for the reason. You will never be able to find it through out your life”.

B. R. Lakman Rao (BRL) has penned down a beautiful poem to describe the emotions of a man who was dumped by his love.

Also, there is one kannada novel on this subject “Heli Hogu Karana” written by Ravi Belagere. If you know kannada, do read it. That’s one of finest works of Ravi Belagere.  You can buy the book online from Total Kannada Dot com website. The whole book tries to prove one point “Why Grass is green on the other side?”
