A BOY,HIS FRIEND AND FRIEND'S SISTER

Going by the title of this post,dont have any misconceptions that THE BOY refers to me.I just put the title as it sounded good.This post is dedicated to many of my friends especially roomates whose inputs have been frank and very useful.Now I want to discuss the age old question.IS TO WRONG TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR FRIENDS SISTER OR YOUR BROTHERS FRIEND.

Just for fun when i asked my friends how they would feel if i had an affair with his sister the responses were varied.

1.Jaan se maar doonga
2.Its a sin,how can u cheat your friend.
3.Depends on whom she is having an affair with,a jerk like you,no way,i wont allow this
4.Its ok,its her and your wish,we cant force anyone.

All the persons i asked this question said even though they knew what they were doing is not right,when it comes to sister,they cant stand the thought of her having an affair.

Here comes the big question.MOST OF MY FRIENDS EITHER HAVE A GIRLFRIEND OR ARE DESPERATE TO HAVE ONE.

So isnt his girlfriend somebody else's sister.So why does this thing which appeared right and correct to them in their girlfriend's case not applicable when his sister is somebody else's girlfriend.

Iam not acting like a saint.Even if I had a sister may be even i would have thought as my friends were.So what is it that comes in way of our thinking.

Is it because of the way we treat our women in our culture.Is it because we think our sisters are incapable of taking their own decisions.Is it because we dont want somebody to do those things to our sister that we do to our girlfriend.(I dont have one,i meant others)

I personally think its a mixture of all the above factors.It bites us when you come to know our sisters are somebody else's girlfriend.We want our sisters to be AMRITA RAO in VIVAAH,but want our girlfriends to be like KATRINA KAIF in RACE.

Its a concern for members of the family that the girl should not do anything against family pride.They dont want a situation like neighbours discussing her life.And in a country like ours,with the type of culture we are accustommed to,neighbours love love affairs in others houses.Gives them a masala topic to chitchat,like an MMS SCANDAL keeps tv channels buzzing with excitement.

So in INDIA,Where people take family pride and honous more important than family itself,this is exactly how it would be.

please comment on this issue,i know everyone would have a thing or two to say.

DISCLAIMER:In this post i have not hurt sentiments of anyone nor critisized anyone,i just said this exists in family of every person reading it,I and my family are no different,I was not trying to be judgemental.So if it hurt anyones sentiments in particular,please let me know personally.

I think that boys are really very protective about their sisters. They dont want nythng to go wrong when it comes to their sisters. So, its not that they cannot tolerate their sister being somebody's girlfriend..its just that they cannot trust the guy. All kinds of guys exist..there are good guys as well as bad guys..and bad guys outnumber the good guys..so, boys hav the fear that their sister might b wid a bad guy..i think that is wat they fear..otherwise, they dont have ny problems..this is wat i think..

+1 to the above comment...
trust is the more important factor...
if one cares, then obv, one would want to have enough trust in the guy that he can take care of our sister properly..

that is exactly what iam questioning,if a guy is good enough to be your friend,why is he not good enough to be your sisters boy friend.


its just not about trust and all that,it burns us to see our sister with somebody else

Divya said...

With all due respect, the qualities that a boy seeks in his friend are different than the qualities a girl deserves to have in her boyfriend. So, if a guy is gud enough to be ur friend, he might not be gud enough to b ur sisters boyfriend bcoz of the aforementioned reason :)

Btw, thanks dhawal :)

@modern sanyasi: there are two different dimensions dude. see...evn the bastards of guy can be a gud frnd of urs cz u get to hav all the fun with him n all..
bt...to be a boyfrnd of a a gal requires some responsibilities too...one has to take care of her unlike wit a guy frnd...

kaustubh kaushal said...

well can somebody tell me what exactly meant by word 'friend'. its someone whom u enjoy with or someone whom u trust as a very good friend or someone whom the time complexities made him ur frnd. the whose answer changes with change of definition

kaustubh kaushal said...

as long as i m concern if my so called frnd is really a jerk then my solution is not as some people like "jaan se maar dunga".i will just go to my sister tell her the truth as a elder brother , if needed give her proofs and then its completely her choice as it is her life so its must be her choice.my role is only to guide her.

kaustubh kaushal said...

if he is my trusted friend , i will go straight to him and take a promise as a friend please don't break my sis's heart ever.
according to me start hating ur friend because he loves ur sister is not a solution even if u might not be very happy with the relationship

Sri Ram said...

@all
even if your sisters boy friend is the most well mannered and good person in the history of the world,if ur sister says iam going on a date with him,it still bites you no matter wat

truth or not
