Preface:
The bro code is an imaginary set of rules laid down by the most awesome bros of
the world.
These rules define and explain the best quality which a man can have that is
broism.
The bro code not only helps a bro in taking quick decisions in crunchy moment but
also helps a dumb guy in grooming himself into a bro (although it takes time).
The integrity of the bro code is above boards as it has been laid down by the finest
bros of the world who gathered all their experiences and teachings to help me draft
this code.
The bro code is no new thing to this world. Its been practiced from centuries.
Confused??? Heh. Let me explain!! Bros existed in this world from the time of
Lord Shiva (btw hes the best bro Ive ever known). The bro code was practiced in
those days also but there was no written or recorded proof of this code whatsoever.
As time travelled, the bros began to violate the bro code. As there was no standard
written piece of shit, it vanished from the world somewhere near the birth of
Christ. Those days were the darkest and most terrorizing days in the history of
bros.
Leonardo di Vinci brought the bros back into the game as he started practicing the
bro code. However, he was not aware of that either, it was just a matter of coincidence. The reason why and how Leonardo started practicing it is still a mystery
and can be solved only with the help of the Book Of Leaves. However, his
courage encouraged the real bros to bounce back and then it was decided that there
must be some set of written rules or guidelines which is applicable to each bro on
this very planet.
So, a drafting committee was set up to laid down the rules with the advice of some
veteran bros. However, the committee couldnt vote unanimously on some
fundamental rules and hence the committee got divided into two committees,
Radicals and Extremists. Each committee laid their own rules on a piece of paper
and published it as bro code. However, none of the bro agreed to this bro code as it

violated one fundamental rule i.e. always support your bro no matter what piece
of shit is going on with you.
For many centuries, the bro code couldnt find a way through to get a universal
acceptance by all the bros worldwide.
But today, our wait of many centuries is over as now I have the privilege to draft
the final Bro Code with the permission of the FIBrA (The Fdration
Internationale de Bro Association) and the ISB (International Society of the Bros).
I want to thank FIBrA and ISB for giving me this opportunity to write the final
draft of the much awaited Bro Code. Also, I personally want to thank Mr. Barney
Stinson, the President of the ISB, Board Member FIBrA and my greatest bro to
help me during drafting and final compilation.
I hope that this book will give us all a new way to see broship as a religion.

INTRODUCTION
W

hether we know it or not, each of us lives a life governed

by internalized code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others
call it religion. I call it "The Bro Code".
For centuries men have attempted to follow this code with no
universal understanding of what such an arrangement meant: Is
it okay to hug a Bro? If Im invited to a Bros wedding, do I
really have to bring a gift? Can I date my Bros sister or
girlfriend or both?
Now for the first time on paper, I have recorded the rules of
social decorum that Bros have practiced since the dawn of
man if not before. The Bro Code previously existed only as an
oral tradition (heh!), so I have journeyed the globe to piece
together the transcribe the shattered fragments of The Bro Code,
pausing only to flesh it out myself (double heh). While not
intending to write a Guide To Being A Bro if men should treat
it as such and pass this compendium of knowledge from one
generation to the next, I have little doubt it would bring a tear to

my eye. But not out of it. That would be a violation of Article

41: A Bro Never Cries.
It is my hope that, with a better understanding of The Bro Code,
Bros all over the world can put aside their differences and
strengthen the bonds of brotherhood. It is then, and only then,
that we might work together as one to accomplish perhaps the
most important challenge society faces-getting a date. Before
late: without the sport inherent in trying to date chicks, would
men willingly marry for the sole purpose of producing smelly,
screaming babies?
Centuries from now, when a Bro applies the rudiments of The
Bro Code to score a hot Indian chick who has a figure close to
Megan Fox, the only thanks Ill need is the knowledge that I, in
whatever small capacity Brod him out(Air Quotes) though if
he could figure out how to bring me back to life, that would be
pretty awesome, too.

Who is a Bro ??
Now that we are reading the bro code and having known that
this book explains the concept of broship from the scratch
(thanks to me bitches heh!), the most important question which
arises in mind of all illiterates (:P) is that who is a Bro ??!!
You often see many people around you in school, colleges,
malls having their so called NSP (Air Quotes) and suddenly
you see a known face and we say Hey bro !. Or you come
across any of your friends while hitting on a girl and you say
waddup bro ? with a high five. The point is: are these people
really your bros.
The answer is no and you suck! How can you give a prestigious
and awesome title like bro to someone passing by just because
he is a familiar face?
The selection of a bro has nothing to do with your past relation
with that guy. It is a possibility that a guy whom you know from
your very childhood may end up just being a dude or a guy but a
person you just met at a metro station may end up being your
bro.

A lot of confusion prevails all across the globe when three

words i.e. guy, dude and bro come into play. Perhaps youve
seen the word Bro is recklessly confused with dude or
guy in an adventure themed soft drink commercial likethumbs up !! aaj kuch toofani krte hai and stuff. PS- god, that
really sucks !!.
So, an important distinction must be drawn: just because a guy is
a dude doesnt mean that a dude is a bro.
Q: What is a Bro?
A: A bro is a person who never says no to any of your asking for
favor. He is a lifelong companion who you know will always be
there for you no matter what happens, unless he has got
something really important to do like- eloping from his own
wedding.
Q: Who is a bro??
A: Your wingman is your bro. Your father once used to be your
bro. Your friend who set you on a date with her hot cousin, he is
your bro. To be prcised, when someone has faithfully upheld
all the fundamental codes in the bro code, then you may
consider him your bro.
Warning: Exercise caution when bringing home a hot chick your
brother may or may not be your bro.

Q: Can only dudes be bro?

A: The process of a person being your bro has nothing to do
with the gender whatsoever provided he/she upholds the moral
value contained in this sacred canon. When a woman sets a guy
up with her busty friend, then shes acting as a bro. And if she
sets him up with her other hot friends after he dated the first and
never called her again, then shes officially his bro.

Origin:
The history of bro code is not nearly as simple and elegant as
God handling down some stone to the broses, its origin weaves
all the way down to the dawn of humanity. Lord Shiva and Lord
Vishnu, the two most awesome bros of all times had an
inurement of consuming lot of bhang (cannabis sativa) and
hence they forgot to write the bro code which was very
unfortunate for Manu and Kanu, the first bros of the human race.
Lacking an agreed-upon set of social principles, Manu killed
Kanu and committed historys first broicide. As punishment
Manu was doomed to walk the Earth alone. Why? Because
without a wingman, he had absolutely no chance to meet hot
chicks.
Over the years, many bros broke the bro code and got involved
in battles and fights with other bros for either money, chick or
land or the trio. The earliest recorded fight fought between bros
was between Rama and Ravana. Ravana kidnapped Ramas wife
and took her to Lanka (a kingdom in the southern part of the
subcontinent). Rama launched a full attack with the help of his
best bro Hanumana and defeated and killed Ravana to rescue her
beautiful wife Sita. This fierce war could have been avoided had
Ravana been familiar with two most basic bro code: Bros
before hos and never eye your bros wife.

Thousands of years later, in the city of Indraprastha (the city of

Bro love) a little known delegate Shivenacharya scratched on a
parchment which is now considered the earliest attempt to
record the Bro Code. Over the years the bros added and removed
several rules, but Acharyas elegant words still shine as the
glorious Preamble to the Bro Code.
However, according to di Vinci the original document is housed
two storey beneath the great Indian Ocean in a vacuum sealed
bullet proof chamber but I was able to gain access to some
chunks of the original document long enough to draft the new
Bro Code.

Article 1
Bros before hos.
The bond between two men is greater than the bond between a
man and a woman, on average a man is stronger than woman.
Thats just science.

Article 2
A bro is always entitled to do
something stupid, as long as rest
of his bros are doing it.

Article 3
If a bro gets a dog, it must be at
least as tall as his knees when
full-grown.

Article 4
A bro never divulges the
existence of the bro code to a
woman. It is a sacred document
not to be shared with chicks
with for any reasonno,
not even that reason.

Article 5
Whether he cares about sports
or not, a Bro cares about sports.

Article 6
A bro never admits he cant
drive a vehicle. Even after an
accident.

Article 7
A bro never sends a greeting
card to another bro. Instead he
uses the electronic mail.

Article 8
Should a bro lose his job due to
no matter what reason, his
fellow Bros will not shoot lame
jokes such as Gimme three!
or Wow!, quitting your job like
that really took a lot of ball. Its
still a high five and that bro still
has a lot of
ballsmetaphorically
speaking, of course.

Article 9
A bro will drop whatever hes
doing and rush to help his Bro
dump a chick.

Article 10
Bros do not share desert.

Article 11
All Bros shall dub one of their
Bros as their wingman.
Exception: Bros like me who are extraordinarily
awesome dont need to install any of their Bros as a
wingman because as I stated we are extraordinarily
awesome.

Article 12
If a chick enquires about
another Bros relationship
history, a Bro shall honor the
Brode of silence and play dumb.
Better to have women think all
men are stupid than to tell the
truth.
PS: Same code is valid if a chick asks for a Bros
sexual history.

Article 12
It is a moral responsibility of a
Bro to save another Bro from
Cheerleader Effect.

Article 13
A bro should be able to recite
anytime the following reigning
champions: UEFA Champions
League, La Liga and Ballon
dOr of the year.

Article 14
A Bro has the right to kill
another bro if he is found
listening to Justin Bieber or
deleting porn.

Article 15
A bro is BROund to share his
hot movie collection with
another Bro.
BROund: It represents the English word bound in the BROxford Dictiona

Article 16
There is no law that prohibits a
woman from being a Bro.
Women make excellent bros
because they can translate and
navigate the confusing and
contradictory whims that
comprise the chick code (Chick
do have the chick code!!)
.

Article 17
A Bro never wears pink.

Article 18
A Bro never publicly reveals
how many chicks he's dated.
Corollary A bro also never
reveals how many chicks
another Bro has dated.

teases him for the same.

Article 20
Even in a fight to the death a
Bro never punches another Bro
in the groin.
