Compatible with caution…..


                   

    I have been thinking of having a girlfriend for some time now. The last few months have been precise. But there is one single word that pops up whenever I evaluate my romantic chances, "compatibility". How does one know whether one would get along with another. Simple! Ask her/his sun sign. Yeah, I am not a superstitious or “zodiacoholic” but seeing people around me failing in relations just because of compatibility, I have got a soft corner in me regarding zodiac signs. May be they lead to a good compatibility with my partner. I fell in love with the zodiac the day a copy of Genelia D’Souza’s Sun Sign fell into my hands. Yeah she has been my first love till moment. Though it was one sided only.. of course it was only me in it but it was true.
     But there was a tragic side to this fascination that directly affected my future plans. I discovered, to my horror, that a lot of signs were incompatible with mine! In one stroke it eliminated a huge list of childhood crushes as a failure. Scorpios were too secretive, Virgos were too practical, Leos would compete with me for the limelight and Sagittarians would never understand my sarcasm. I greet any girl I meet for the first time with a smile and ask so, what’s your sun sign, I don’t even bother with the name. Why punish her. She would just have to get used to the idea that this handsome, talented hunk of a man is not destined for her. I was also inspired by a recent movie by the legend Ashutosh Govarikar, What’s Your Rashee.
     I fantasize about writing ads for myself on college notice board that begin with "If you are a girl and you are an Aquarian contact me". I discussed this with my friends and they were horrified. The guys started with You can’t just ask about her sun sign! What about whether she can cook or not. At this point the girls broke their bones so the conversation petered out. My friends tried to make me see reason, If you fall in love with someone tomorrow, who cares what sun sign she is. I answered morosely, You would, as you would be handling the breakup proceedings a year later and subsequent breakup party(new trend in market now a days). I know its silly of me to view people as simply belonging to one of 12 categories. I know that each person is a beguiling magic potion of traits. But until I find a way to gauge a girl in her entirety, is there any young Virgo lady who would like to accompany me for a coffee…

  4. as u said "Virgos r too practical" , there's a possibility that the very Virgo lady might b looking for a perfect gentleman as per her own compatibility. age compatibility may b the biggest hurdle in relationships. what u say?
