a very good fren of mine is meeting this gurl on sunday. for matrimonial purposes. he was feeling nervous and thought i'd help him. i tried. really, i did.
excerpts of our gtalk conversation... X, of course, refers to my friend. he said i could reproduce the conversation provided i don't name him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
X: where do we go?
me: must be something around there, no? how can i tell u from here!?
X: there's a children's garden.
me: huh?
yeah, sure... go there... and run around the trees and sing songs also.
X: while we are there, we can discuss how many children we want also.
me: yeah, rite! also tell her this is what u do every weekend. then she'll want to marry u then & there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
X: what all will they ask me? u ask me now only.
me: can u cook?
X: yeah.
me: *evidently not knowing what to ask* can u sing?
X: yeah.
me: *hain? he can!?* achcha...?? toh gaana practice karke jaana! *eng translation: practice ur singing before u go.*
X: arre? NO! i am a car singer. i can only sing in the car. i will say i can't sing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
me: don't worry. u're quite marriage-material. u're also quite domesticated.
X: no, i am not.
me: ok... let's do a pop-quiz! *i'm so bright, eh!*
answer the following in yes or no.
a. u like partying every other night?
b. u get so sozzled on ur partying binges that u sometimes can't r'ber what or who u did d previous nite?
c. u would happily exchange ur car for a hot, sexy bike? *umm...I would do this*
X: no, to all. and i love my car. it makes much more sense than any bike. what all you ask!
me: there! see?
X: but i'm not domestic. i don't like to be at home.
me: ?? then where do u like being? *he's usually either at work, or home or in between*
X: outside.
long pause. while i wait for an explanation.
me: huh?
X: i like being OUTSIDE.
oh, well!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
me: achcha listen... all sed & done, don't forget to get her number before leaving, okay?
X: number nahi dii toh?
*eng translation: what if she doesn't give it to me?*
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if they do end up marrying each other, i'm gonna rag him for life with this!
p.s.: name shall be changed next week. no time for more today. keep them suggestions coming...:)

You know I just thought of an idea! Just like they have those sites which prepare you for job interviews, they should start a site where they prepare you for these meetings!!
Heheh..poor fellow.

What is to be the meaning btw? I is knowing only Indian languages.
Are you sure your friend is a HE? :P

LOL!
I'm itching to find out what happened next... do keep us updated on any developments :D
Whoz this poor soul who you tried to "help"? Actually, doesn't look like the "way" you can help sometimes..
This post will make me very conscious the next time I chat with u! :D
mr king: u don't trust me at all! i'm very good at this, u know? :D u shud, in fact, let me know when u decide to tie d knot. think abt it! ;)
mayg: welcome aboard. he's denied me permission to blog anymore :D
but i think, someday, i will... :)
suma: hehhee... i'm good at such situations, u know! ;)
solitaire: oh i have friends who've gone through this. or are going through it... also, if it's online, there'll be a lot of people who'd be willing to come up & help...
