A Fan’s Letter On Kollywood’s Stunning Bad Boy Arvind Swami Is A Must Read!

Bogan-bewitched!

As my mind wandered while watching this film — you know, during those scenes in which there was no Arvind Swami(!), I had a cogent insight in to this. Why do we women, just at the mere sight of the proverbial bad boy, jerk to attention in our seats at the risk of spilling our precious buttered popcorn? What is really going on here, I wondered. You would think that we have enough headaches and heartaches going on with our respective significant ‘others’, so why be attracted to this sort of a man? One who sleeps around, smokes, drinks, and perhaps even snorts the white stuff?

Sure, the guy has loads of money and fancy cars, which is great, but we all know the other (down) side, don’t we? Indeed, we have been taught to avoid the bad boy like the plague! And yet, our eyes are drawn to that hard character — all-man, brawns, brains and deals ruthlessly with people without much of a conscience. We seem to linger longingly on the threshold of the path that leads to that dashing debonair!

I blame this lethal attraction on our undying quest for excitement. After all, wouldn’t a woman embrace the chance to savour that heady feeling, that little spring to her step or that sparkly star in her eyes at the prospect of being the love interest of a sexy tough-guy? Well, if you are truly willing to accept the whole package that he is, then go ahead and walk that path.

And if you are lucky or rather, if you can muster the sense to think it through at the right time, you had just better be content to linger at that threshold, heave a deep sigh and then step away before it’s too late.

Then, you won’t have to pay the price for dreaming.

My take on the Bad Beau zone: Look, but don’t touch!
