There are two kinds of people in every one's life-ones you Bitch about and others you never bitch about.
But these two categories are not watertight. As time goes by, people move from one category to the other.
your life is smooth if there is a balance between both the kinds of people. If you are confused, take a pen and paper and start writing down the names of the people who belong to either category. according to my analysis, a state of balance is attained when less than/equal to 1/5th or 20% of the people you know and interact with come under the second category i.e people you 'don't' bitch about. If the number is more than 1/5th then you are a saint. don't forget to tear that piece of paper if you really were making a note of the names!!
Golden rule of bitching-'an effective/successful bitching materialises when the person about whom you bitch never comes to know about it, or even if he/she comes to know about it you have a ready excuse to cover it up, which means bitching needs to be practised time and again and only then you achieve perfection.'
An example of bad bitching is the one which backfires at you. That should and can be avoided if you just be a little careful. Examples of that would be- bitching to the wrong person, bitching very loudly, bitching in a big and diverse group,etc. you just need to bitch at the right place at the right time. Bitching is sometimes also similar to a sudden urge to vomit.
As rightly put by one of my friends- 'Bitching is good for the soul'.
Bitching can be logically defined as- 'saying something about somebody that you wont/cant dare say on their face.'
It is gender independent. Only 'girls' bitch is the worst prejudice ever and needs to be given some serious thought. The prejudice starts with the term 'bitch'ing itself. I mean, that makes me feel so helpless but i still have to use the word.
It all sounds so silly. doesn't it? but in the larger scheme of things it makes perfect sense because bitching transcends age groups/ time/ place /social status. It is a universal truth.
And people who 'claim' that they don't bitch are either lying or they are lying. and every time you hit a low and you think that you are bitching too much just remember- 'someone somewhere is bitching about you and they will keep doing it irrespective of whether you bitch or not.'
(All this is intended in a light hearted spirit and i support only the 'good' kind of bitching which wont cause any harm to anybody. i personally condemn dirty bitching.)

Hahahaha!!!
you seem to hv perfected the art(or at least it seems so). Here's a suggestion.. why not try coining an analogous term( may be "dog"ing) for the guys? :D
I never knew my neighbourhood college teaches this art as well..
would like to ask hw many times has it backfired?
good piece of work, all the ideas put fwd in an uncomplicated manner
not exactly have i perfected the art!! you keep learning throughout your life.
lolz
and your 'neighbourhood college' doesnt exactly teach this art;-).
and yea it keeps back firing once in a while, dats how you bcome better..
like the new term you coined..
what does college have to do with the art of bitching anyway!!!!
love the post!! everything said in the post is very true..it is good for the soul as long as its not dirty bitching..rightly said;)!
and bitching does transcend GENDER,AGE and of course colleges!! and it is true that each and every person knows the 'art' of bitching!!
nice post ruchi,keep writing!
u hav analyzed (n presented) the subject rather well.
kudos.
however, i'd jus like to add tho the act itself transcends gender boundaries, the term itself was defined keepin in mind the female gender.for the 'male gender'/'gender neutral' case, the terms that r used include whining, complaining, griping in particular, n also a larger number of adjectives that encompass the whole range of activities that together constitute bitching.(e.g. backstabbing, discontented, disgruntled, displeased, disquieted, dissatisfied, disturbed, griping, kvetching, malcontent, malcontented, perturbed, picky, restless, rumour mongering, ungratified, upset, vexed.....endless sort of list, basically all pointing to the fundamnetal principles of whining n complaining n backstabbing...)
nyways, the point i was tryin to make is even tho the act may be gender neutral, historically, the term 'bitching' ever since it's inception has been there to describe this activity only for the female gender. the reason 4 that i do not claim to know.....
machaaa! Super posht!
[nins, ruchi was being sooo dumb today no? we'll talk abt it later k?]
:P
waitin 4 ur new one....
