Hottie-culture

Scene1
You are with a friend in a lift. Both of you are waiting to reach the top floor. It is a quiet moment and both of you are not even bothered about each other’s presence. Just then the lift halts, the door slides open and you see a sizzling hot girl enter the lift. The door closes and everything gets quite again, except the fan which of course goes on making this humming noise. But now you realize that everything has changed. You keep on looking at the girl, and then for a brief moment look at your friend to check if both of you are on the same page. He too looks back at you and the mental conversation starts..
‘Dude, check out the girl’
‘Yeah, she is hot!’
‘God is great’
‘Yeah… hope the lift never stops’

Scene 2
It’s a beautiful day. You enter the coffee house for a client meet. You are young, ambitious and focused. You are getting to take big tasks at a very early age. You are enthusiastic and thankful.
‘God, I Love my job’
The client arrives and the conversation starts. Everything is going fine. He is listening to your deliverables. Just then the door opens and the sizzling hot girl enters the coffee house. Suddenly you realize that you cannot kill the eye contact, have a good look at the girl and prove to your client that you are a perv. You start feeling helpless. By now, all he is saying has stopped making sense, or maybe you have stopped listening. Now it is just a bald head and moving lips. You pray to god for a miracle to happen, but she grabs the coffee and leaves. The door closes and it is still the bald head and the moving lips.
‘God, I Hate my job’

Technically speaking takes around five seconds to check out a girl properly, three with practice. And although the society does not think very highly of this act, but let me tell you it is not that simple. If you are from a decent family, studying in the country’s premier engineering institute, you cannot act like the rogue standing at a local panwari shop and make noises at girls ( which by the way is eveteasing and I am in no way supporting it in this blog) . For him, it is a very easy job and that’s how the entire practice gets labeled as a mal practice. But for us it has to be casual and decent as there is always a risk of getting caught staring. Now although I am sure that none of us think very highly of this act but then it can't be helped. It comes as an instinct. By the time you realize, you have done it and you end up feeling like a pervert.

However, how much lousy this act be, every man does it irrespective of age and status. In fact if somebody doesn’t then he should seriously question his sexuality (or testosterone secretion). Sometimes this 'checking-out' act becomes so challenging that it can give people an adrenalin rush. For example during cultural festivals like Rendezvous when suddenly the whole IIT wasteland gets lighted up with gorgeous women moving in groups of 4-6, you realize that it becomes impossible to check out all of them together. You obviously can’t hold your look on one and then move to another and then the third. That could get you killed. And what if you are walking past this group of women. That practically gives you 5-8 seconds to check them out, which technically speaking is beyond the potential of human scanner.

Let me tell you that like any other educated person who thinks highly of females, I too despise the checking out practice. However on a second thought it might not appear so ‘animal’. Just think, maybe on some level this checking out is a sign of admiration. The ‘Hot’ designation does not come easy. One has to work hard to achieve it, stay away from cravings and spend hours in front of mirror. So checking them out is a way to pay homage to their dedication and sacrifice. In fact would these so called hot girls, who spend hours in gym and a fortune in dresses and make up, like if nobody looks at them. It is guys like us, who are indirectly promoting the fitness, cosmetic and fashion industry and let’s face it, we are their driving force. History gives us evidences that women have ruled the world with their beauty. It is one domain you people own. So in a way ‘checking out’ is like promoting feminism.

Personally, my feelings for these ‘hot girls’ is more of respect than admiration. And the day I would actually get to talk to one of them, I would like to ask her, how she copes with so much pressure of literally having a control on so many things. Just think, in an examination hall, a ‘hot girl’ enters and chooses a front table, which changes everything for the guys who would now like to position themselves in a favorable location, which changes everything for the class dufus who was completely relying on copying from his friends, which changes everything for the class topper as all his favorite front seats have now been occupied , which changes everything for the girl who hates him and wanted to sit nowhere near him and ultimately everybody ends up performing differently.

Maybe one day Marvel and DC comics would realize the 'hot -girl' power and might develop a character out of it. By the way if they do, they better give the 'checking-out' power to the super villian otherwise as things are going, the hot-girl power might become unsurpassable.
