Of hypersonic moods

And No, it's not a condom ad.

I'm wondering, what you call people whose moods change faster than you can say Geronimo..

It's fashionable to talk depth, quality over quantity, of knowledge and reasoning, character and endurance. Our mothers were most content to talk bout the new saree shop in town, the latest gossip on love marriages and divorce and the current price of onions (though mine would talk politics that bored everyone to death except an eccentric uncle) and about their immediate neighbors.( I likes!)

We women have come a long way since and it hasn't really been that long you know. Now its blase' to talk like a 'behenji' and so you will find the twenties, thrities and forties somethings talking Paolo Coelho, The Secret, Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City....(wannabe :P )
blah!

There is this stress that the modern, educated, real woman possess qualities that not only make her a playmate ( Hugh Hefner likes!) also someone who can play Scrabble decently and lose of course, but not too badly. She should be well groomed and definitely be able to make 'intelligent' conversation, not of the kandha batata variety.

Basically, the shift from traditional homemaker/welfare worker to modern woman with 'depth'.

Is it true that when you are deep and have an intelligent thought process that you are able to rally, fend, deflect and skillfully disassemble minor irritants that come your way... you see, because you are 'deep', you are above, beyond and elevated from the mundane, commonplace and unnecessary?

I guess I'm kandha batata variety.
