Sk n kajol!

Monday
------
the mobile beeps with "MUM"

Mum : Do you know that Sharuk Khan and kajol got married

Me : uhm what?

Mum : yes i just saw it on TV.

me: mum its their new movie, they have acted together after many years.

Mum : are u sure? (now she sounds a bit unsure)

Mum is the next Hindi gossip columnist.
Drop by at my parents to see mum glued to the zee channel like she could understand hindi. Now we have S singing hindi songs and speaking broken hindi all the time. He is her companion in this tv watching business.

Today
-----
five missed calls from mum while i am at a meeting. surely must be something earth shattering like snoopy the dog has refused to eat her lunch. (cant blame snoopy)

Mum : i have invited someone over for tea mr. S

Me : ok who is he?

mum :i dont know

me : who is he? mum

Mum ; I dont knoww ( when someone gives such an answer how can u not but wonder if u are really hearing things at times?)

after trying hard not to lose my temper, find out mr.s is some distant relative from india who is here on business. he has got mums number from another auntys uncles cousins sister and he wants to drop by. Now this sort of calls are usually ignored. with the bride hunt being stalled due to circumstances beyond our means like horoscope and astrological calculations gone wrong. This Mr.S has a sisters daughter who is suppose to be so great with a big G.
so this sudden tea party with a stranger.
