It would be insensible to dismiss him only because of his youthful bearings as one’s looks are generally deceptive. He is in fact, emerging as a matrimonial soothsayer. He can easily crack the genetic code of a girl by his sheer glance  and foretell her spousal attributes with utmost precision. Having ejected himself from the cockpit of crumbling Kingfisher Airlines, Siddharth Mallya has safely landed himself in an area where he can decode the DNA of a girl and predict whether she would be a “perfect future wife” or not. It was amusing when the futuristic Siddharth is quoted to have stated that the 28-year-old US national Zohal Hamid, who was allegedly molested by IPL Team bangalore’s Aussie recruit Luke Pomersbach, did not behave like a “future wife” to her businessman fiancée, Sahil. The spontaneity with which he invaded her matrimonial eligibility triggered an unprecedented commotion on Twitter last month.

To me, his palpable comment on the fair sex was pretty unfair. If girls want to be merrily married, they ought to conduct themselves like future wives to their lovers, he ruled emphatically. Would it not, on the flip side, imply that they should also likewise see “future husband” in their men before committing themselves? But how to judge spousal fitness in a partner was not elaborated by Sid.

Though his observation may echo weird, surely, he had a point which reflects his male chauvinism. A male, generally known for his polygamous penchant, considers it his right to explore greener pastures outside the bonds of matrimony, but when it comes to settling in life, he tries to search for a girl wrapped in fidelity and devotion. While he prefers a girlfriend who is stylishly outpouring, but he, on the other hand, wants a wife who is cosmic yet homely.

We are all primarily weird and life is also a bit weird. When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we fall in mutual weirdness called love. But, with time, a male grows uncaring and sluggish as he advances in years. Paradoxical but true, before the rooftop that hw would lay down his life to serve his beloved; but after marriage he won’t even lay down his newspaper to respond to her.

As far as feminine expectations are concerned, they are altogether different and strange. She expects her spouse to be all-in-one, to say the least, a complete package. Echoing Francis Bacon, to sum up, a woman needs a perpetual listener; who has rested his rowing eyes and of course, who is rolling in wealth.

Having come of age at such a young age, Siddharth’s signature statement is ringing a warning bell for girls. Oh, girls of the world, unite to deflate the typical male ego so sarcastically composed by a poet:

Some girlfriends come and go like seasons;

But one will stay back in my life;

Surely for a special reason!

Gossip magazines are abuzz with rumours of the vertical spilt between film start Deepika Padukone and Siddharth. They are asking whether it was Deepika who did not behave like a future husband? Was it Deepika who had prescribed too many general rules for matrimony, or was it Siddharth who was grounded while devising exceptions to general rules? All in jest.
