"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women
merely players..."
So True...

Family Functions!!
A Snippet:
“Do you remember me?”
Yeah rite… you are the one who asked me the same damn question the last time!!
Ofcourse I remember you Uncle, we met the last time (we met).
Luckily my folks aren’t the brightest heads you’ll find.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
But then there are some who simply won’t give up…
So what is my name?
Why are you doing this to me!?!?!?! Ofcourse, you know that I don’t remember names of random strangers.
Uncle, you work with mom at the bank… Ofcourse she’s told me all about you… and just at the right time my dad comes to my rescue “Mr. Vijay* how are you doing?”
Thanks God/Dad I owe you one!!
*name changed - because I dont really remember his name...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My daughter is doing her engineering in Tom-Dick-and-Harry’s Institute of Technology at DunnoWhere.
Oh nice aunty…. I heard its one of really good colleges IN DunnoWhere
They never get it, do they??
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There you are sitting at a strategically thought-out corner trying to insulate yourself from the ensuing madness when…
“ How are you doing, Ashwin?”
Duh!! Have you ever heard anyone saying “ I FEEL SICK AND I FEEL LIKE DYING!!!”
I am fine, so how are you and the kids?
OMG does he have kids??
Yeah they are fine,….
Phew!! That was close…
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You might have guess by now that I am no extrovert, but I am no shy introvert either. I like indulging in meaningful conversations, though they are non-existent at these occasions.
If you don’t know what to talk about don’t talk. Simple. You are not obligated to talk to me even if you have no choice but to stare at me the entire function.
Don’t ask me the distance between my hostel and my classes
Don’t ask me the distance between my hostel and the mess.
And don’t you dare ask me the distance between my mess and my classes!!
TO BE CONTINUED
