telephone,wedding and ad

So this weekend I could finally manage to make a long due telephone conversation with a long ago met not-so-long distanced friend of mine.
Actually , I fear calling her.calling her means for the next 1 hour we would be on our glorious glib talk, shutting ourselves from the ongoings of the rest of the world, only stopping when enough heat is generated between the duplex device and our auditory canal .


Calling up her means first of all mourning about our common plight of single hood. Either she’ll stance instances of how every damn dumb girl of her college is committed or I’ll make her even more sad citing stories of how the girls we found so stupid in school were dangling away with their boyfriends. Then we’ll pass some expert advices on on certain very important social issues like relationship of certain filmstars, etc, relive our old crushes and mourn again on the fact that we did nothing wild at all in all our teenage.

Last weekend , I attended a couple of unwanted weddings. No, unwantedly attended a couple of weddings. Usually in such functions, me and my brother make it a point to either stick to our father or fly to some uninhabited corner of the venue to get least noticed. So there I was, this time too , at a nook of a not so huge venue. Suddenly a huge came running towards us, with a wide grin.i wanted to play a ringtone on my cell and pretend a call has come. It was too late.


Lady:so you are Ponu’s daughter?(more grin)
Me:umm…ahhh
Now another lady comes to the picture.
Lady1 to lady 2: “ arre is not she Ponu’s daughter?”
Now, I know, and as many other known relatives say, that I don’t look like either of my parents. So I resemble this Ponu?
To my utter relief , I could see my mother , on the verge of visiting this territory
And I indeed turned out to be Ponu’s daughter. These people , who happen to be my mom’s cousin , calls her by this weird name.

Then they started talking of how I wetted their clothes when one of them took me in their lap and lo ! they started having a fight to ascertain whom I had wetted .
These conversations with unknown relatives are more tyrannical than the ragging sessions in the first year of college, I tell you.


There’s nothing good on the TV except for the new vodafone advertisement.

I rush down from the terrace, climb up the stairs from ground floor,poke out of the bathroom door to see this ad ,whenever I hear it being played on tv.

and i love its jingle too much:

"Everyday I want to fly stay by my side...
Everyday I want to dream stay by my side...

Every morning I wish I could just play....
Wish the mornings would just stay..."""

I suppose its not considered a sacrilege not to know one's mother's pet name. In my family it is.

over these years neither did my mother mention about these people nor the name given by them !!

'a couple of unwanted weddings'?!? omg... dont b so rude.. lolz.. in my case, nobody will recognize me as one f their relatives as i dont look like my parents in any way.. also i will discourage their entry by cold stares and even if someone guesses my parents, i wont give in at any cost.. i usually stick behind my mom in such parties and my mom is perfect cover to escape the formal exchange of words... actually my relatives will believe that am her son only if she introduces me which she never cares.. am gifted!!..

i hate weddings... but i love the thrones that the bride and groom are made to sit on... only because they look funnier than the aunty who does the rounds with a food laden plate trying to find a "decent" chap for her girl, the uncle who sits in the corner with his cronies and ogles at the nubile nymphs decked out in their very best oh and the radom catering wala who is picking on his nose...

Believe me when you get married, all you will be talking about, is how can you run away with the next multi billionaire... or when you have children, thats it, thats it...
And who said you need teenage to do crazy things... I still do, and believe me, I am way way past my teenage! :)
Nice post.
