Expressed!

Aargh! Its time that you need to make the next move but stuck at thinking how to get it? err! this sounds like a TV shopping ad! coming straight to the point, As India is developing, so as the mind sets of people, we are now more open minded, more so that our "friendly decently speaking cops" do not drag to the station if they see a girl and boy chatting in park! they just drag and get them married! Mr. Friendly Neighborhood now does not peep to know what's happening, she just now has a webcam fixed secretly. Technology has changed lives, College students do not send MMS these days, instead they just opt for Live Streaming! Welcome to Generation Next but buying condoms from the friendly "Kumar Medicals" is still a taboo. What if Kumar thinks something? So the 5 things that one should NOT do while buying a condom, call it self experience or research, it is just not the point to ponder or think if you are thinking already! Lets dive in..

1. DO NOT SWEAT and NO SECOND thoughts!

Its a bright day, your friendly neighborhood medical store is seeing some good business, infact more SIM cards are sold than the medicines thanks to all the TELCOS out there! You approach the shop and then you start to shiver, Do not hesitate just go for it! put it in a nicer way! may be like "Can I have a packet full of birth control tool made out of latex which regular Indians see it as a taboo and Americans just use it anywhere and every where which now comes in almost most of the flavors, sometimes specially designed" I am sure medical store guy will hopefully understand! Go with confidence, take a deep breath and utter out directly! I am sure the medical store guy will understand your emotions and sentiments, I really hope! The mantra is "Be confident" Sweating is fretting! 

2.DO NOT wait for other customers to go! We live in a country which has one billion population

Don't buy chocolates and Crocins unnecessarily, both are not of any use to you! Do not drag the matter, if you wait for all the uncles and aunties to wind up at the medical store, you better be prepared to spend years there waiting at the desk! we live in India not Antarctica! Be a man! Be strong, The friendly customers might even stare you but be prepared to stare them back or atleast smile at them, never ever try to justify to them. Make them and the pharmacist realize that you are there to buy what you need! "Necessity is the mother of all Inventions" I don't really know the context of this statement here, but thought it goes well, left to your creative brain to understand

3.DO NOT begin with Explanation, it makes you more stupid

"My cousin is getting married, he is planning for his honeymoon, We, cousins decided to gift him the best present,, and you know!" Do you think the pharmacist is a nincompoop? DO not being with explanations, cousins, friends, cousin's cousin, friend's friend  getting married is just not a reason to get away with your friendly neighborhood medical store guy! it makes you more stupid, you are inviting more suspicion towards you and the most stupid thing to do is to carry "Wedding Invitation" Remember pharma guys can read and write as well! think something more creative if you want to produce an explanation and most importantly do not act as if you are talking on phone getting the instructions and behave as if you don't know how to pronounce either Kamasutra or DUREX, people out there are not stupid! they might see like but they are not.

4.DO  NOT Panic if you see a lady at the COUNTER

If you say you have malls and super malls as the solution, then good for you! pick up stuff but do not panic if you see a lady at the counter, they understand what you are upto, Buying deodorants shampoos and tooth brushes to just accommodate one packet of condom will only burn a hole in your pocket. Do you really think the lady at the counter will have all the time to think what one does with the condoms, its her work and she does it, so is yours! Again the golden rule is not SWEAT here, that can make you more embarrassing. If she cross questions you "Are you sure you want to buy this one?" remember she is just trying to sell the brand which gives her incentives, she is not pointing at anything else. Do not break there and run away! go with flow and ask for discounts and offers, every product has its own discounts, if there is buy one get one, Demand it! make your voice heard! You are a consumer and you have every right to ask for it. Get the best deal out of it, who knows with raising economy anything can happen.

5. DO NOT go with a DOCTOR'S prescription 

This is the most ridiculous thing to do! Condom can never be a prescription it is a social responsibility, Do not go with your 3rd year MBBS student friend's prescription, he is neither a doctor yet nor is authorized to give one, you are just making a fool of yourself. Do not write yourself on a peace of paper and hand it over to the pharmacist as well, it makes things more dramatic. Drama is not what you ordered for!

Well, I think these are the 5 things which one should never do, may be its time that we really get out of our shells before our next generation start reading CONDOMS like tables from their text books. Its time that we really call it CONDOM rather than naming it "RUBBER" or "Balloon"
