Reclining on a couch on a lazy Sunday afternoon after a good(and heavy) lunch with a couple of Archie comics in hand (Sighh!! Yeah!! I still read Archies, Tinkle, Tintin, Asterix and Enid Blyton!! :rolling eyes:), the sambhar and potato slowly work their spell and sleep overcomes you, the book slips and falls down and your eyelids droop heavy with sleep, your mouth slightly open and in this state there is nothing in this world which would induce you to leave that state of inertia and move your posterior (except of course chocolate ice cream, chennai super kings match or date with george clooeny in that order)
You are in heaven!! Ahhh Bliss
And then suddenly "Kuch khaas hai hum sabhi mein...." your phone rings jarring your senses. You are very very rudely shaken out of your state of inertia and you frantically try to locate the source of the infernal sound while cursing under your breath. You look at the caller id and find that the caller is one pesky aunt or rather an aunt who is normally ok but is decidedly pesky when she calls you at 1 in the afternoon on a sunday. But duty beckons and relatives' calls ought not to be cut and you pick it up making it a point to sound groggy and sleepy.
You : 'Lo
PA(Pesky Aunt):Ayyayo. You were sleeping? Did i wake you up?? I am soooo sorry.
You: Errr. 'ats ok chitti. what 'appened?
PA: Well.. Are u listening
Me: Mm hmm
PA: Amma told me that she has started looking for you
Me: Whaaaa??!!!
PA: There is this nice boy who has done his MS and is working in Texas..
Nice boys doing their MS and working in Texas and pesky aunts disturbing people at 1 in the afternoon on a Sunday can wait till I finish sleeping.
I mean seriously what is it with the nice boy/nice girl definition. Obviously no relative of mine is going to call me up and say "There is a boy who has passed class 5, kills 70 year old ladies for a hobby, molests kids and has peculiar habits like beating wives". Every boy/girl who ever hopes to be married will call themselves nice.
I mean gimme a break. how do u know the boy is "nice"? You have never met him. You only vaguely know his parents and you assume that because they have had a good education and belong to the same caste (ewwwww) as you the boy is 'nice' :-|
Sighhhh!!
India ko koi badlo yaaar!!

I must say yer description of bliss is near similar to self's idea of same gal!! but of course no spicy sambhar rice fer me....make that maggi noodles!! And maybe let it rain a bit too......helps the eyelids droop sooner.
And about CSK, well to tell ya the truth, without haydos's power hitting, we could very nearly be KKR me thinks!!
