Sensitive and Manly... "I have never understood the idea of men sitting in parlours and beautifying themselves. How can men wax their bodies and shape their eyebrows" asks Sunny Deol For me, the definition of a man is simple. He is a protector and provider, who is also tender, loving and caring. I've been brought up with this theory and I believe in it totally. I know there are people who think I am conservative and stuff like that, but what others think is not my concern.

And the reason being that most men think that way irrespective of which nationality they belong to and the age bracket they fall in. Being the eldest in the line of my siblings I was always told that I should be there for them and that's become my mantra today.
These responsibilities of being the eldest son are too many. But I have never shirked away from them. That's why I am appaled when I hear some men not being responsible and giving execuses like liberation and modernisation.
I am all for equal rights for women and believe me I have nothing against women working either. But I believe that priorities should be clear. The home should never be sacrificed for. My logic is straight, just like a man is the provider, a woman is the homemaker. Making a home is full time job.
Women are emotionally stronger than men but men are stronger physically. If anyone misbehaved with a woman in front of me then a few fisticuffs are bound to be unleashed so that he never thinks of doing it again. Men who are violent with women or men who can not protect women should really be given a few lessons on what being a man is all about.
Today, I hear and read about men who claim that women can look after themselves. They don't know what they are talking. Men and women are interdependent on each other. Without one the other cannot exist. We both have our roles to play in each others lives. These are our values and beliefs. Men who are influenced by the west talk about different morales and beliefs under the garb of different generations and modern thinking. But men who disguise their own weaknesses with words are not really men.
I have never understood the idea of men sitting in parlours and beautifying themselves. How can men wax their bodies and shape their eyebrows ? Come on, our forefathers never did it and yet they were the epitome of manhood. Men should concentrate on their physical and mental health instead of worrying if they look beautiful.
I don't understand this concept of a metrosexual man either. New words and new beliefs are only going to confuse the youth and children. I don't subscribe to these words.
Still, I care , give and am very sensitive. But this does not stop me from a real man !
