A asks, APPLE?

Today, I start the A-Z Challenge – April 2013. One 30-day month, minus Sundays. 26 Alphabets. A word for each, your way. Talk about anything or leave it to the imagination. April 2013Β is set to go back to the basics. Also,Β a special thank you toΒ Β Arlee Bird for bringing this to us. I’m so looking forward to this month of April.

“A says Aa, Aa for Apple”. All of us have pretty much been there. Most of us would also have heard of the ‘three apples’ that impacted history as repeated social media forwards. The three men in question, Adam, Newton and Steve Jobs. The third kind, I don’t own, yet. The second gentleman is responsible for everything that is going down south, aΒ battle I will fight him later. That brings us to the first man, literally.
Β 
So, God created the garden of Eden and he put Adam there in his happy place. God was smart. Apparently, Adam was not.Β Having surveyed the area, soon he was lonely and pouting like a brat.Β Now, here’s the thing. He could have asked for anything and he would have been granted that. It was God, remember? A golf buddy, a chilled beer, the TV remote, any of these darn things, day in and day out. But no sire! Adam asks for a woman! God being a softie, granted him what he wanted. He knew it was bad for him, still. Parents are like that. They give their kids gadgets and then grumble about the ill effects of technology that eat into family time. Β 
Β 
Anyway, coming back to the story. Eve came along and all was great. It was just the beginning. But now that Adam had her, he began ignoring her. The thrill for him wasΒ in the kill. Once you have the trophy on the mantelpiece, why bother? I mean, if he didn’t really want to have a conversation, why ask for a woman? And seriously, what were the recreational options?Β Let me remind you, there were no malls, no phones and no other women either. All poor Eve wantedΒ to do was gossip. So, Eve found solace in the company of the serpent. That’s when Adam got jealous.Β He did not like the shift in the spotlight.Β HeΒ said, ‘whatΒ she canΒ do, I can do better’. AndΒ all hell broke loose, again, literally! Every decision that Adam could not make was blamed on poor Eve. And so it has been since generations. Yeah right, we really wanted those labour pains Mister!
Β 
Why do men fail to see that it was indeed Adam who ruined it for them? If he hadn’t asked for EVE, women would never have been a part of the plan. All of you could have gone fishing 365 days in a year.Β No putting down the toilet seat and no laundry instructions……..

Well, c’est la vie. But now that I’ve set the record straight, make note and remember.
Β 
If you have a problem with your madam, blame it on ADAM.
Because he ate the apple, youΒ walked a woman to the CHAPEL



Β Β Β Β Tally-Ho…….,

  5. JANU avatar

    This was my idea for “A” post too…but, you have written a master piece.

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Can’t wait to read your version Janu. I’m sure it will be a potboiler.

  6. Rickie avatar

    To that, Adam might say – ‘Arrey toh fir woh aayi hi kyun? She shouldn’t have agreed to come down to Earth when God asked her to!’ – and put the blame squarely at the doorstep of her boudoir!

    As you have correctly postulated, bad call! πŸ˜€

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Rickie, he offered her his ribs! Ab bechari who kya kare? Non-vegetarian jo thi! πŸ˜›

  7. Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekar avatar

  10. Shilpa Garg avatar

    Awesome! Loved reading this!! Agree completely, it is Adam who has to be blamed! πŸ˜€

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      See, I knew I was right all along. Thanks for affirming, Shilpa.

  11. Shail Mohan avatar

    I like how you compared Adam’s action to how parents give gadgets to kids and then complain about the effects of technology πŸ™‚
    Hilarious take.

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Shail, more often than not, parents screw up the kids!

    2. Shail Mohan avatar

      “nods in agreement*

  12. Afshan avatar

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      I tried using it Afshan, was ok. I like my windows though…:P

  13. Preetilata【ツ】 avatar

    Oooppss! i don’t to what to comment on a post that’s hilarious and makes complete sense. Seriously, tell me, how did you think about it? i want to know the thought process that went behind this superb post. πŸ˜€

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Preetilata, this has been my retort to every man who said that women were the bane of his existence.

  14. Priya Sreeram avatar

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Hai na? Me thought so too! Glad to find so many of my tribe πŸ™‚

  15. Suresh Chandrasekaran avatar

    Hahaha! Now that is one take that Adam will be happy not to have read πŸ™‚ To think he even sacrificed a rib to get Eve only to ignore her later πŸ™‚

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      I’m telling you Suresh, if only he had been a tad bit more brainier than brawnier πŸ˜›

  16. Elisabeth Kauffman avatar

    Deecoded

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Thanks Dee. Banana would be too obvious, no? Nah…the B post is up and about. Being sweet for a change.

  20. Chicky a.k.a. Kaddu avatar

    Too good! I always love reading such witty male-bashing posts! And what a twist! I never thought the “A for Apple” was going to lead to “Mars Vs. Venus”!

    Looks like this A-Z Challenge is going to be fun! Too bad my April blogging schedule was already so full that I couldn’t join in this time! πŸ™

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      Well, this has been my retort to all men who complain about women…..forever. Glad you dropped by!

  21. Nandana avatar

    Hahaha…hilarious one.

    Adam was such a silly nincompoop!

    1. Blogwati Gee avatar

      You are telling me…..and it is all because of him, now, isn’t it?

  22. Anuradha Khanna Pentapalli avatar

    Loved reading the post! Esp the ending! Adam ki vaat laga di Madam πŸ™‚
