The Bro Code

Since time immemorial, the love that the Bros share has only grown and it can easily be attributed to their religiously following of The Bro Code. This bond can never be expressed on paper; the unspoken rules, the unheard instances of bromance, everything about Bro Code is mysterious and this is what forms the basis of The Bro Code.
Pardon me Barney for my audacity, but despite being a mere human, I have tried to list down some of the rules and guidelines for the Bros which form the core of The Bro Code.
  1. Bros before hoes – A ‘hoe’ is defined as any woman that is not your wife or any other direct family.
  2. A bro will never talk about his love for another bro unless he is totally wasted.
  3. A bro is always allowed to do something stupid as long as his bro’s are doing it.
  4. Whether a Bro is into sports or not, a Bro picks a team and supports them until his dying breath.
  5. A bro shall not gaze at a naked bro, if for ANY reason a bro gets naked, all other bros will act as if nothing is out of the ordinary, averting their eyes away. If the towel drops, so do your eyes.
  6. A bro never sends a birthday card to another bro.
  7. A bro will not sleep with another bro’s sister.
  8. A Bro never watches a chick flick.
  9. Even in a fight to the death a Bro never punches another Bro in the groin.
  10. A Bro never cries. With the exception of being physically threatened by RajniKanth or Bhai himself.
  11. When greeting another Bro, never engage in a full embrace.
  12. A Bro never wears pink.
  13. If a Bro accidentally strikes another Bro’s crotch while walking, both silently agree to act as if nothing happened.
  14. A Bro is not required to remember another Bros birthday.
  15. A Bro will make any and all efforts to provide his Bro with a condom when he scores.
  16. If two Bros get into a heated argument over something and one says something out of line, the other shall not expect him to take it back or apologize, that’s what women do.
  17. A Bro never questions another Bro’s stated chick score, maximum bench press, or height. He can however, ask the Bro to prove it.
  18. If a Bro asks another Bro to keep a secret, he shall take that secret to his grave.
  19. A Bro never wears socks with sandals.
  20. The mum of a Bro is always off-limits.
  21. If a Bro discovers another Bro has forgotten to sign out of his Facebook/Twitter the Bro will sign out for him, but only after many many humiliating updates.
  22. A Bro shall not damage another Bros’ chances to score with a chick.
  23. If a Bro should fail at anything during sporting activities or games, he is required to make an excuse for himself, it is always the ball, bat, racket, shoes, glove, controller or equipment’s fault.
  24. Every Bro knows a Bro who is the worlds best at something.
  25. If a Bro lends another Bro a pen drive, video game, or game controller, he shall not expect to ever get it back.
  26. A Bro doesn’t listen to chick music…in front of other Bros.
  27. A Bro is never offended if another Bro fails to return a phone call, text or email in a timely fashion.
  28. When a Bro is in doubt, he shall consider the actions of Bhai before making a decision.
  29. A Bro Never Uses A Urinal That’s Right Next To The Other Bro
  30. All bro’s are distracted by the number 69 and it’s sexual meaning, rendering all bros unable to read anything immediately after this number.
  31. If a bro finds his bro’s girlfriend repulsive, he shall not say anything until they have broken up.
  32. A bro always has his bro’s back
  33. A girl can be a bro if and only if:
  • She is the only girl present with the bros.
  • She is not related to any of the bros.
  • She is not dating/married to any of the bros.
  • Has been accepted by all other bros unanimously.
  • Agrees with and abides by ALL bro codes.

  1. Bros DO NOT make eye contact while at urinals, and DO NOT take a peek at their bro’s little bro.
  2. Bros don’t wax their body hair.
  3. A Bro DOES NOT choose his own nickname. A nickname is bestowed upon you by your fellow bros, either as a punishment or a reward for epic deeds.
  4. A Bro of a Bro is a Bro to you.
  5. When a Bro has a kid, his Bros become honorary uncles and must take this honour seriously,  offering the same Bro-like respect for the child, and hand down valuable life lessons using their father’s moments of stupidity as the tales of caution.
  6. Bro’s don’t pout for photos.
  7. A bro does not allow his bro to drunk dial or text his ex. This is one of very few situations where a punch to the groin is acceptable, your bro will thank you for it later.
  8. Bro’s don’t share details about their “little bro” with other bro’s.
  9. Once shook upon, a bro ALWAYS honours a bet. No matter what the agreed proposition is, the losing bro honours the bet.
  10. Bros don’t stop to smell flowers
  11. When in doubt, ask your bros.
  12. If a chick fight breaks out, all nearby bro’s must be alerted IMMEDIATELY. Furthermore, bro’s DO NOT break up chick fights unless blood is drawn.
  13. A Bro will ALWAYS watch a movie narrated by Morgan Freeman.
  14. When a Bro wants to do something stupid, first you try to talk the Bro out of it. If they still want to do it, you film it.
  15. ALL conversations between bros are subject to “bro to bro confidentiality”.
  16. A bro cannot give another bro a Teddy bear.
  17. Bros shall never under any circumstances go and see chick flicks alone. Chick flicks are only tolerated when there is a 100% chance of getting laid.
  18. A bro does not dare/challenge another bro to do anything they wouldn’t try them self. If the dare/challenge is turned down, the challenger must attempt it before ridicule is permitted.
  19. When a Bro leaves his seat, the seat becomes vacant and cannot be reclaimed if a fellow Bro takes it. Lift your feet, lose your seat.
  20. A Bro never leaves a Bro behind.
  21. A Bro doesn’t attend a class if the other Bros don’t attend it.
  22. A Bro shares all his assignments and reports with other Bros.
  23. Bros only comment on a fellow bro’s fashion choice if that choice will affect the bro’s ability to get laid.
  24. Bros never use the term SWAG or YOLO to describe anything.
  25. When a bro offers another bro chewing gum, that offer is for two or more pieces, never one!
  26. A bro doesn’t get lost, he merely finds an alternate route.
  27. A Bro hates Justin Beiber, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montanna and loves Eminem, Football and Formula 1.

P.S. A Bro knows this list would keep getting updated as it is not exhaustive.

Getting Things Done: A Beginner's Guide

Buddha said the world is full of suffering, and I have scrolled enough social media to realize that is indeed the case. Heck, it feels like doomsday is around the corner. There is just misery all around. Everyone has got something which needs to be done!   There are problems spanning decades and unresolved issues plaguing generations, and this is without counting the Indian men's cricket team's propensity to lose in knockout matches. Therefore, to no one's surprise, the modern world is looking for problem solvers, people who can deconstruct these multi-layered, nuanced points of contention and arrive at an acceptable solution.   With 29 years of experience at being alive, a few months at an MNC and now 2 odd months in government, I have some ideas that should help a newcomer become the go-to man for any crisis. Like any other success guru, these are not at all well-researched and are purely anecdotal in nature.    Let's start with the primary answer to problems - mon...

Paperwork

Some 13 billion years ago, the Big Bang occurred, and the universe started taking its present shape. Brilliant minds of ours and earlier generations have spent a considerable amount of cognitive resources to unravel this mystery. Notwithstanding the appreciable progress made in our understanding, it has been suggested by many a bureaucrat that this wastage of human capacity could have been avoided if someone had neatly prepared an office note on the big bang then. The process of documentation and record-keeping is essential in government, as in any other form of organization that grows beyond the individual. Documenting known facts of any issue, discovering more through inquiry or academic research, and then forming a well-justified conclusion forms the core of any decision that is taken. This entire exercise is colloquially known as the "paperwork". Since the stakeholders aren't just the people making the decisions, it is important that paperwork is done with due diligen...

The Passengers

There are way too many of us humans around. It is only natural that too many of us meet the remaining of us, creating an inter web of connections, and friendships.  Think about it. When you were a kid, you had friends in your neighborhood, class, and maybe cousins you lived nearby. Then you met new people in College, while working at various places and so on. Some of your friends introduced you to their friends and then you knew more. If the sheer number of people you met and made friends with at various stages of your life were to be added, you could have at least won your colony's elections.  But, are you in touch with all of them now? Do you even have any memory with most of them? Or they have just become names, which ring a bell but you don't really know why!  The truth is, we all move on, consciously or unconsciously. The kid who sat next to you in that class, the best friend you played with every evening, or even the neighbor you shared your rooftop with, all fade i...
