SOME CHEERS FOR THE HANDSOME HUNKS OF INDIAN ARMED FORCES


What is it about men in uniform that makes women weak in the knees?

A recent study conducted by " IDIVA.COM"indicates that indian women are now quite impressed with our soldier's determined stances, manly muscles and apparent readiness to take a bullet for our nation's pride. They say,

"This got us thinking, what is it about soldiers, or those in other branches of the defense system, that make them so irresistible? After all, womankind swooned over a made-over Hrithik Roshan in Lakshya and many will remember the good-looking Black Cats who guard the Prime Minister.

He's got the look !

Kasturi Barua, a 24-year-old bride-to-be says, "Men in uniform just look good." So that explains why she will marry her Grenadier (grenadiers form one of the most distinguished regiments in the Indian Army) later this year.

Proving that love does have a formula, Barua added that her fiancé's uniform contributed an impressive 40% towards his attractiveness.

"They make a good impression as soon as you meet them," adds Audrey Fernandes, 24, a beauty student, who's married to a navy man. "In fact the moment a guy mentions he's with the navy, it's good enough to catch a girl's attention!"

He's got the X factor !

Fernandes says a soldier's profession demands that he be courteous towards women, which contributes to their attractiveness. "Because I have been with a guy who is with the navy, I learnt that they are taught to respect women. Even his colleagues, though they might be his seniors, refer to me as 'ma'am'," she says.

Annanya N, 28, a media executive, still recalls her long-ago date with a navy man with a sparkle in her eye. "What can I say about my knight in marine fatigues?" she sighs. They were introduced by the navy man's cousin and hit it off. "He ended up as my date for the Christmas Ball. Have you seen navy men in suits? I was bowled over and had jelly feet. But he held onto me and we danced till the morning. He taught me how to jive, brilliant dancer that he was. These guys do a lot of dancing and are very, very good at it."

It's been 10 years since that date, but Annanya says she "will never forget that night for years to come."

He comes trained !

Barua, who was introduced to her future husband by her parents, was bowled over by his entire regiment. She says she met him at his barracks, and was very impressed with the entire unit. It helped create a good impression of him.

"I also met his commanding officer. He takes great care to groom his men. He taught them all about romance and chivalry," she giggles. "And the best part is, I don't have to spend the first year of my married life making sure he dresses well, shaves… Soldiers come in a groomed package!"

He's got character !

Dr Anjali Chhabria, a Mumbai-based psychologist explains that men in uniform command a certain authority and respectability that women find appealing. "They also exude stability and dependability, which women look for in a relationship."

How to find him?

In Mumbai, you can hang out in Navy Nagar (but please don't do so in a suspicious manner). Or get yourself invited the Christmas Ball or the Navy Ball - it's held on the second Saturday in December.

In Delhi, officers spend their free time at the officers' mess. Or try the army polo and riding club."

SOOO, go out and enjoy your service to the nation guys !!!!!
