The 'Taulia Lao' Types..

Rani Mukherjee has epitomized a certain class of men called the "Taulia Lao types" in the movie Hum Tum. These men are classic examples of huge male egos. And what makes them so special is that they exclusively breed mostly in our country. You will in fact find them everywhere! Welcome to the world of self sufficient, egoistic and full-of-themselves men!

These men have a preconceived notion that women exist to bear children, to take care of the house and do all the household chores. They do not appreciate their wives to work, have any time consuming hobbies or any other such interests apart from making sure there is order in their lives. The case aggravates if at all the gal is working and earning more than the guy. He instantly turns psycho and cynical with sarcasm as an uninvited gift. The kids of any in the relationship, must be taken care solely by the gal. The guy will wash his hands off most of the stuff involving the kid. He assumes that he is doing his bit by provided all the finances required. Alas! the dumb idiot is unaware that money is not the only thing required in the upbringing of a child. Also, few guys decide to get married so that they can have someone to cook and clean for them! Heck! Get a maid in that case! You dont necessarily need wife for that! (no offence meant when I said maid)

They are inherently lazy bums who expect the wife to do they basic chores as well; so much as a trival "taulia lao" which means they even insist on their wife giving them the towel when they go for a shower! That is the height of laziness and for granted attitude that these certain type of guys have. We cant blame them completely 'cause they might've picked this sorta mentality maybe from childhood. In India, you often see a slight discrimination between guys and gals done by parents or grandparents. To quote an example, when I would get better marks at school than my brothers, my grandmom would often tell me to not tell my brothers as they would feel bad. And I somehow would fail to understand as to why my good marks would make them feel sad. Her thinking was that, if they would get to know of my marks, they would probably think low of themselves. But its altogether a different thing that my brothers have turned out to be fine gentlemen :)

We understand that maintain a home, having kids and doing the household chores is something that a gal must do at some point in time. But it doesn't mean that guys can take a hike from these responsibilities. Gals must be treated as equals on all platforms of life and of nothing much the guys should at least appreciate the efforts that a gal puts in keeping the whole relationship together.
