Long time no blogpost da...

2 Expert Comments

Yeah. the mans been busy. not like anyone cares. but anyway.


Seems like age is catching up with me. Or thats how i feel when I open up my inbox. Suddenly 50% of the unread emails have 'humbly requesting your presence at my marriage' at the subject line. And. most of them are from the guys in my class. I remember that I was young for my class - on an average, 8 months younger than the second youngest, which makes me think - does this mean I have to get hitched in a years time to avoid the 'oh you're not married yet?' 

Why is everyone in such a hurry to get married ? - an old classmate (OM) and I caught up on gtalk after a while. Heres how the conversation went:

OM: Machan howre u da ? been such a long time...
Me: Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine, sup with u ? hows life in whereever you are ?

OM: Great !! Im due for promotion next month ! and the wifeys loving it...
Me: The who ?

OM: I got married to my girlfriend last june da. shes working with infosys.
Me: Oh great congrats man ! (thanks for not inviting me. chutiya.)

OM: Yeah Yeah. I wudve called you, but I heard you were in the US.
Me: (Yeah right. and I have a pet grebe) Ah, thats ok man...

OM: So how about you ? Hows the kid doing ?
Me: (ZONK). The what da ??

OM: The kid da, You had a kid sometime recently right ?
Me: (Not unless I was made compulsory sperm donor while I slept. And someone actually picked my sperm -  A lesbian couple from prague, perhaps) Err, no, what gave you that idea da ??

OM: Man, I though you got married like ages ago... someone told me u have a kid n all...
Me: (WTF). Dude, u sure u know who you're talking to ?

OM: Yeah Yeah, maybe i got the whole ,marriage and kid thing confused with someone else.. so hows life ??
Me: (Still recovering) Yeah, blah, blah... and blah.

Scary. Maybe I should begin every conversation with my married friends like 'hows the old ball and chain ??'. That'd pre empt mistakes of this sort. and probably all future conversations too, but its worth it. :D
