If Life Was as Smooth as Hookah...

Here is a thought that you must often have when the stress of being a college student in this fast-paced, overly competitive world full of distractions gets to you. There might be days when you wake up tired from over-thinking and over-dreaming and you just want to go back to bed and snooze away your life, only to have some more of dreaming time.

There must be days when you feel the clichéd cry of existential crisis clouding over your head in a mist of confusion and all you want to do is make some artificial smog of your own and let that haunting mist get lost among your sinister creation. Too deep was it?!

Dining In or Eating out? Which is Right for Today's Youth

As college students, eating out is often the only option you have. And the moment you enter that economic Chinese place that boasts of shabby-chic (well mostly shabby than chic), near your apartment or hostel, the smell of honey chilli chicken whooshes into your nostrils and makes you drool incessantly. Soon you forget all your dietary goals and budget constraints and dive straight in, to over-ordering a meal fit for an entire family of four. And while you are feeling guilty munching on sticky chicken wings that are leaving behind a sinful trail of sauce; you reflect on your culinary mutiny and secretly plan to cut short your stationery budget of pens to make up for this deliberate slip up. 

You begin to feel like an addict gone out of control who simply cannot justify their failure to meet dietary limits, is it just stress eating or is this happy eating?!  Soon the nightmarish thoughts of you asking for pants of waist-size ‘bear and Chinese food’ come to your mind and leave you shaken as you feel your bulging tummy, tugging to the extreme stretches of your shirt/top.

WHY ALL GIRLS SECRETLY GUSH OVER ROYAL ENFIELD RIDERS

In India, the country with a population of 1.25 billion usually there are more single guys than single girls. And out of all those single men if one guy gets some attention from a girl (may be just a smile or a flick of hair tucking it in shyly behind her ears) that day turns out to be one of the best for him.

You could see him inflating his chest to go up to his friends or his crush trying to brag about that isolated incident. But the girl on the other hand would have a strikingly odd reaction instead of handing him over jealousy in a cup. She would probably go somewhat like this – Oh! This one girl gave you attention?! Let me pull out the list of guys who flirted with me while I was walking to the bus stop 10 minutes ago!!!

And just like that all this man’s pride and happiness would be shattered into a million pieces. But there is a breed of men who do not have to feel any such shame when it comes to getting the attention of women. In fact they get plenty of that while riding their beefy Royal Enfield motorcycle where girls peek from above their boyfriends’ or father’s shoulders and steal glances of this royal bad boy!

But why? What is so grand about a pair of wheels attached on to some metal making a hellish noise that makes women go gaga?

We tried to pinpoint some reasons why a Royal Enfield bike makes women gush over the rider. 

We believe a man riding a Royal Enfield is a confident and stable person who is firm about what exactly he wants in life. They are the breed who do not hesitate to stand up for what they like and are loud about their principles and choices, just like the ride of their choosing. This is probably the primary reason that sub-consciously draws women’s attention towards a rider of an RE regardless of his looks and attire. A confident man should be a successful one as well, hence a natural choice for women.

Another unusual reason but an effective one is the price point and status statement attached to owning a class bike such as the Royal Enfield. One will seldom see a middle-class man buying an Enfield to get to work faster. The motivation for buying an Enfield is must more than necessity, it is about pride and the overall experience of having the beast hum underneath you while riding, this lures in women’s attention.

And finally, while somewhat unlikely but since RE riders have a bike-brothers club-like thing going about them which makes them feel a sense of niche community, many women like that. Everybody likes to feel included in a group of some kind and this cult feeling of like-mindedness lures in riders and their women to this regal renegade of riding into the sunset, cinematically without a care in the world.

Now that we have established why a Royal Enfield can get you out of perpetual singlehood for life, maybe it is time you got an RE for yourself.
