LAQ... A Behenji

A Behenji is defined as a plain-looking woman who blends into the background and is an expert at commiting stupid errors because of her slow thinking and is struggling for survival and reproduction.

Her only solace in life is bitching about other people which she does discreetly though in large packs. Most behenjis are lonely in the beginning but eventually they sniff out similar beings in the crowd and form a cohort. It helps to have behenjis in different spheres because they can collect more information and form a greater database. Behenjis stick together through thick and thin. Like velcro. And make just as much noise. At any point of time a behenji is either giggling (we never laugh) or arguing or bitching. Activities like thinking, creating, innovating are unheard of as yet.

Behenjis repel men. Or they become good friends. Some behenjis are prone to attract men from lower socioeconomic groups when they are crossing streets or ambling around late at night. That's all.

Most behenjis use embroidered handkerchiefs with surface areas less than their own palms. It's used just for moral support. To establish yourself as a pucca behenji wear matching clothes and accesories. From hair clips to slippers. A behenji can never look into a mirror without convulsing 4 times worried about her appearance. Behenji cohorts have one primary female who is the stereotype . Others are variations of her. Some just wallow in its principles.

The most intellectual decisions taken by us varies from what to wear this evening to what to wear next day. Majority of the discussions deal with what that bitch wore today. Or didn't wear.

Behenjis are accomplished in book-keeping. Be it borrowed money or grudges, we never forget, believe me. Behenjis have secret nicknames for everyone. It eases confusion so we know exactly whom we are bitching about.

Behenjis are introspective women who love to think and talk about themselves.

And blog.

Sambhavi blogs again! Finally! Praise the Lord!

Nice article. again, your genius at work. I was laughing all through.

'Behenji cohorts have one primary female who is the stereotype . Others are variations of her.'
who is the stereotype in our batch?

You probably should have also mentioned about a non-behenji type of creature in the group (Surabhi), who has successfully transformed from b to non-b and is trying (rather unsuccessfully)to transform others from b to non-b.

And what ever happened to the 'rise'?

The prototype is of course Varsha!

Shraddha:The 'rise' is a phenomenon where Behenjis suddenly begin to excel in academic activities.

It started happening sometime in the end of second year.

Lol...even though i personally disagree wid the convulsing abt looks wala part....a more apt term in my case wud be never looking into the mirror at all...and if i happen to catch my reflection sumwhere on a shiny surface,the first thought that always crosses my mind is " Eww, who is this!"

Oh, (self) deprecating humor at its best!

Or were you bragging? ;) A very interesting read, nevertheless.

Take care.

Sam said...
