I read an article somewhere about how everyone is becoming cool. I thought the writer was probably right. Everyone is cool nowadays.
The article was talking about how even parents are becoming cool. Me, I would like my parents to remain as uncool as they like to be. I don’t really want my mom to suddenly hang out with kids and take salsa or yoga lessons. My dad thinks Channel V is Channel 5, SPi is Sipi-i, and Michael Rocks to Learn and not the other way round, although this may mean he is merely dyslexic and not uncool. I am splashing all these on the Internet because I have no fear they are ever going to read this. Another advantage of having uncool parents.
I was thinking more about how guys have caught up with girls in being fashionably cool and with it. Guys these days have manicured hands, baby-soft skin and some pluck their eyebrows. They look so pampered that the only sign they may have been exposed to the environment is their hair; which looks like a particularly strong gust of wind blew it in one direction and froze it forever in that position. Running your fingers through that may be injurious to your health.
Girls are expected to follow fashion. So it’s better not to say anything about it to us. We shall show you our belly buttons, cleavages (or cleave-less, if we lack it) according to the fashion diktats. Some girls do cut their hair at geometric angles and some even change their eye color in the name of fashion. I say all this is very well, but it’s all about timing you know. Do you really not mind the sabji-vendor or the roadside romeos looking down your chest or whatever?
Cool-ness is something some people just have and which becomes even more elusive the more you try to grasp it. For me, cool guys are the ones with a sense of humor no matter how they dress, who have two free hands to help you if you need help (meaning the other hand is not furtively pulling up his waistband). And a cool girl is one who will surprise you with her guitar strumming and make a perfect omelette with a flick of her wrist. Cool people are capable, comfortable, confident and definitely hot.
I am not cool, I learnt the ‘D’ key which I have already forgotten. And my husband is going to think he’s a God, because I will be serving him burnt offerings everyday. I will never be cool. But I still do appreciate cool people when I see them.
