A funny incident that happened with my friend here.
This friend of mine sree ,who happens to be a pure veggie , went for dinner to a chinese restaurant .
after usual greetings were exchanged ,everyone settled down and the order for food was being placed .
There were not many veggie dishes there so he asked for veggie specialties there and he was advised to go for vegetable fried rice.
and sree obligued ” Please make it a vegetable fried rice for me .”
” very well sir .I will get veg fried rice for you. sir ,would you prefer it with pork or without pork ? ” the guy taking order said . and sree was aghast not sure what to reply :).

Under some funny circumstances , one of my friends had to answer some funny ( and a bit embarassing :) ) questions .
Here is piece of conversation my friend had with some american folks ( My friend remains anonymous here .Rams being my fictional character,am using the name ) .
“We heard you guys don’t date before marriages in India,is that true Raman ? ” A casual conversation ended up in this question.And Raman was caught off guard.He was not sure how to answer this one.
“Well we do date,Bob. Its not as prevalent phenomenon as here,though”.
By this time,some people sitting in nearby bays pulled their chairs and gathered to be part of this interesting conversation.
A lady quizzed. “I heard you people look for horos and if the horos dont match up,you dont get married .Is that true ?”
Rams thought for some time wondering how to answer this one.
“Well,some people do that ,but things are gradually changing .But yes many thing do consult horos.and many a time it makes sense as well ” .
standing by anything irrespective of whether its right or wrong was ingrained in him by now . first say confidently that you are right and then think whether you are right or wrong .Thanks to the onsite offshore model :).
“How could you people go for arranged marriages? .My mother was asked to go for arranged marriage,but she rebelled.She married the man of her choice.” The lady continued.
“we believe in this institution and has worked for us so far.many are opting for love marriage of late ,though.” Rams.
“Is this arranged marriage part of some religion or.. ?” again a curious question.
“No,across all the religions,arranged marriages happen in india.Hindus,Muslims,Christians.” Rams.
“Rams,do you have girl friend ,do you go to date with girls ? Heard you guys dont go to dates before marriage,and get married at around 30. ? ” Bob asked.
And this was one question he dreaded all along. He thought for a while.He went completely went blank. Everyone was staring at him intently.
He smiled at Bob and made a move. Bob probably got the answer anyway ,LOL .

How to pataofy potti..

Posted by Apoorv on June 6, 2006

Hmm,this one is not my creativity ,written by YC bhai at hyderabad forums,place where I spend most of time now a days :) .Written keeping in mind folks like me who go to office every day to hitec city in hyd ,but appeal to this one is universal .Can be implemented anywhere.Guddu,you can very well try this out in Australia as well :).

A poor man's (me) guide to potti-pataoing-while-going-to-office:

  • Take a share-auto to JHCP from punjagutta.
  • MUST & SURE sit in the backseat
  • Pray for a PYP -Pretty Young Potti - to come arnd for a ride.
  • Gallantly offer her the backseat (make sure that the other guys do not do it first & do it b4 the autowallah says so!)
  • Pretend that u are uncomfy at the front and ignore any of her protests
  • Get down at the same place where the PYP gets down
  • Ask her politely whether she commutes daily on the same route…
  • if she says yes, be sure to say how come u never saw her in this route (It gives away that u DONT have a bike/car , so be prepared for a cold-stare!)
  • If she says that her scooty was broken or her boyfriend had some work and hence could not drop her off, say Ok and move on!
  • If not, ask her if u can keep a seat for her tomorrow at the same time ZZbiggrin.gif
  • Wait for the friendship to blossom and fructify mgk.gif

It may sound cliched and run-of-the-mill but it worked sometimes…..If i can manage a few smiles that way then u guys can surely make marriages outta it cool.gif

Dear God ..

Posted by Apoorv on May 28, 2006

Dear God ,

Why is it so that whenever I come across pretty kudi who makes couple of my heartbeats skip,and after bit of background search ( ahem :-) ) ,I come to know that she is married or commited.

Why is it so that there are so few pretty faces on my floor ?
and when I apply the standard search criteria ( Not Married + Not commited ) ,count of search result more often than not ends up in zilch.

why dont they apply reservation funda when it comes to alloting equal number of girls across all the firms to provide equal opportunity to all ?
Why is it so that no pretty face could ever be seen even in adjucant compartents when I decided to travel by train ?

why is it so that all my friends are at perpetual receiving end of bad luck when it comes to girls ?

Dear GOd, Look at my best friend maddi,he is such gem of soul.But still no pretty damsel ever recognised that.
They say that all your good/bad deeds are to paid off here in this very incarnation.There is nothing wrong that Maddi ever did (Atleast that I know of ).

Does that mean he is paying for some evil deeds he might have performed ,in his previous incarnation ?(Ssale Maddi kya kiya tha picchle janam me tune ??? )

 Has law of avarages simply ceased to apply on him?

Dear God,bear this in mind that telugu guy that he is,he will get hitched with some telugu girl some day ,and his father-in-law wil have to cough up exorbitant amount that time.

Lot of trouble and money can be saved if some girl falls in love with him.Maddi is gracious enough to reciprocate the feelings.
Dear God, In college days ,you left us desolate .We were neither part of hostelites nor localites .It was like we were part of POK. Girls from neither India nor Pakistan really cared about us. And that meant we were compelled to be part of band of bad boys.

And you limited number of girls in our class to single digit.Now I wont talk much about my class coz that would result in bad blood as I never know who all are going to read this post.And if some girl from my class happens to read this,I dont want to be blasted left ,right and center afterwards.

My request is please keep all these points in mind and give us benefit of past ill luck when you some day decide to send some beautiful girl in my/maddi`s life.

I hope you will read these poignant questions ( I know ,I know I asked too many questions ) and care to leave your answers in the comment section or take appropriate action.

BTW ,dear God thanks a lot for Sunil`s soon to be engagement with Smita.we all are exremely happy . I am sure you will make all my friends happy some day or the other.Please reduce the wait period and process these requests with high priority.

FootNote:Dear readers ,Letter was written in lighter vein.No attempts of character assassination of me or Maddi by claiming that we two are big time despos will be entertained. In real life,Myself and Maddi continue to lead lives like true playboys . If you dont believe my words,you can confirm the same with maddi.

Yours Truely.
