Traits a Gentleman should have to court a lady

This is the letter that expresses the the true feelings of a man who thinks he is just about ready to take upon the biggest challenge of his life.

Dear Lady Love and Future Wife,

With immense pleasure I would like to let you know that I hereby deem myself to have become completely mature and capable of having you as my girlfriend who without any doubt would be converted to my wife.

With every passing moment I have learnt how delicate and fragile can your kind be. I have also learn that you might take hours to get ready and decked up, however I should be up and there wherever you want me to be. This also helped me find an answer to one big question: Why do men not indulge in make-ups while women seem to make this a primary profession.

I have also learnt with passing time, that in spite of my trying level best, I cannot stop you from crying once in regular intervals of time, so I should only try to ensure that this is controlled rather than eliminated. All my ego and self-esteem should be reserved for the world when fighting for you, against you, these words should not be part of the dictionary, as otherwise they would mean dire consequences for me.

Since today's world offers all equal opportunities, therefore I should learn how to cook, how to take care of the house, and be accountable for waking you up as per your requirement. I should stand up for you whenever and wherever required, however when we stand against each other, I should always be the first one to fall.

I should be patient enough to hang around with you , while you are shopping, but finish mine in minutes. I should be smart enough to understand what you have liked, and appreciate the same, and know what you have disliked and express myself in a similar fashion. I should not have a different opinion, although we all know that no two individuals can think alike.

All in all this might have taken each of your traits to the extreme limits that can be defined for them, but the reality is, I haven't seen any moderate behaviour from you on those counts.

Yours Faithfully and Sincerely

Potential Boyfriend and Suitor

Gifty

I like the name, Gifty....her actual name is Grace Valentine, first time someone asked me for an autograph, not that I have suddenly become famous, but she is a 14 year old girl who is one of the latest entrants to the SOS village where I went today evening.

It is always so much of energy, when kids are around, this is a real gem of a place, the kids are kept so well, they are so good natured. I used my elementary drawing skills which I learnt after getting always punished and cursed in my primary school years, those days I always used to hate my drawing teacher, but today I acknowledge that he gave me something, which the kids were interested to learn!

We were nine of us, using the oppurtunity of the dawn of the new year to go and interact with these young souls, and as usual I come back revived, young at heart, pure in thoughts from this beautiful S.O.S village, although a tad sad for what destiny has done to these children, but happy that there are kind souls on this planet earth, who are there to take care of them still.

It isn't complete with the summation of the place and how beautifully the kids are looked after, thank you Raina for capturing the complete essence of it, and putting it in the comments section, without that part this blog post is not complete :)!
