WARNING: THIS MIGHT BE FICTION or IS IT ??? The following story is fiction and any resemblances to actual people and/or events are purely accidental . My BIL wanted me to drop off a few Cd's ( Yep just 30 odd , not much) at his friend's place. Her mom was scheduled to fly to California on Sunday . Bil's mom had prepared some dry snacks ( chakli ,kodbale ) so picked them and went to Vijayanagar. Called up this Uncle ( Who I have previously never met ) and asked for directions. Picked up a friend along the way for company. I thought it was a like any other " packet drop" ," pick -drop -vanish ", but this one was a bit different. So according to Uncle S's directions I waited for 24 min, in front of a beautiful yet small Ganesha temple .Turns out ,that locality had 5 Lord Ganesh temples and I was obviously at the wrong one :) . One more frantic phone call and he obliged by picking us up . After 5 left and 2 right turns we reached the destination. Once inside I pulled out the package and was all set to move on ,when I was forced to drink hot Badam milk in a huge tumbler ( Guys do you remember AnandSubbu's Tea cups :) ) and then this pretty girl comes in and introduced herself and we started talking. Please note : Beautiful is used as a superlative and is reserved only for Ash . Boy o Boy she was so open and frank , she's into software and had completed her Engg a couple of years back. I was seriously blown away . Oh and her mom was so cordial and homely .. ( is that right - homely ) Well anyway ,they were, I believe a typical Iyer family and their Kannada was so much better than mine. :( Oh and my sis called me when we were in the middle of a conversation abt pickles and I actually asked them to Excuse me !!! ( where did I learn that ??? ) and I said " Hi Vidya " and got 3 surprised looks .. It turns out their elder daughter's name was also Vidya :) At one point of time , Mrs S went in , brought out her specs , put it on and took a good look at me.. Man that was so embarrassing .. do you think she was checking out my NOSE ? :) And damn I actually forgot to comb my hair (thu thu .. ) My excuse : I did have a rough day .. and it was 7 .30 pm .. So wished Aunty a safe and happy journey and was off - feeling kind of elated... When my sis called me after an hour or so .. I jokingly asked who this girl was and her reply was " Hello ! she's already engaged " the original was " lo ! avalu yargo line hodithaedale anthe " . Does this happen to you, too ?? ===========================================
