Life, or Something Very Like It

Conversation 1
B: (to friends at large) Why don't you come over for lunch on Sunday? My cousin (that's me) will cook something.
F-a-L: Sure. We'll be there.


Conversation 2
B: (to other friends at large) Why don't you come over for lunch on Saturday? My cousin (me again) will cook.
F-a-L: Sounds good.


Conversation 3
B: (to her friends-at-large - people I barely know) Have dinner with us on Saturday night. My cousin (by now you know who this is) will cook.
F-a-L: Great.



There's a pattern emerging here, I just know it.

Pro-ggya, two options.

1 - Just don't. And when the guests arrive, strop a kitchen knife on the bar-top while making faces like Urmila M in Bhoot
2 - Do. But go for quantity rather than quality. Repeat Step 2 above.

Entzzooyyy!

shakey, beer days are indeed consigned to storage! Except on the occasional Sunday afternoon when the sun is warm on one's back and there's that particular feeling of camaraderie and conversation lingering in the air.

Chiru, thankee! Aapnekeo.

The interesting thing about this post is that it caused a storm back home, with B's mum calling her to tell her, "tumi progga ke diye khali ranna korachho?", my mom calling me to tell me, "tumi ranna korte paro?" and B calling me at work to tell me, "you bitch!"
