Hit & Misses

In late 90's, Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi were caught by media when they were having a fun time together in Santa Cruz beach, California. It created a huge sensation in the States back then. A week later, pictures from the beach were published in Indian Newspaper Deccan Chronicle. The snapshots were so colorful that I couldn't take my eyes off from Steffi for about 5 minutes, only to see my aunt standing right next to me to offer a cup of coffee. We both will never forget that disgusted look she gave, for the rest of our lives. But in my defense, Steffi Graft is not only beautiful but also has a very good sense of humor.

It is imperative that you know all of your relatives, relatives friends, family friends, neighbors, neighbors relatives, because there is a high probability that you"ll be asked the obvious question at a wedding by a 40 year old lady 

"have you recognized me son?

"Of course I do aunt". 

Oh yeah!! Then tell me how are we related?!

A hopeless smile and a retard response "gurthuravatlee aunty!" It couldn't get more embarrassing with a grown up beautiful daughter of her standing in front of you!!

It was not uncommon for a group of teenage guys to follow a girl after school hours on the way back home. Scooty was a huge hit among girls and they always beat a poor guy's two wheelers (bicycles). Chasing them was always futile until Indian Railways suddenly wanted to improvise with a newly laid track. But what was not common is to find the same scooty parked in front of your house. The girl happens to be your sister's friend who stopped by to return a book!! Needless to say it is equally important to maintain a list of your sister's friends.

A bride's brother has a lot of things to take care of, before the marriage. In a list of things to do, he has to pull  up some time to look for the most beautiful girl at the event. He will then bribe a friend of his/photographer to draw the attention of his camera on her. The next task was to dig into the details of this girl and see if there is a way in to approach her. A wedding album of no less than 500 pics and 2 CD's will then pop up in less than two weeks. A conversation will then be initiated by the elderly to recognize the unknown faces at the wedding. Wisdom could shatter you at times, when you realize through your grandmother that the girl in the picture was a distant relative of yours who happens to be your "sister"?!$ REALLY!!

A die hard Madhuri Dixit fan will go for the extremes to watch the first show of "Dil Tho Pagal Hain". It was always hard to get the tickets on first day without the assistance of female party. Mission was accomplished when I managed to convince a mom standing with her daughter in queue, to get three tickets for me by lying that my parents are on the way to theater.  Ten minutes later, my two friends joined me. Innocent  looks carry weight. I didn't feel sorry back then and I don't feel sorry now.

Never assume anything!! Do not pluck the hair band of a girl standing in front of you and your parents at a bus stop, assuming that she is your sister. Believe you me things could have been worse for a 12-year old kid. Thanks to her kind nature - She just yelled back at my 19-year old cousin, (standing next to me )"eraa !! picha picha gaa unda!!"

Why the hell on earth does a bride's sister puts extra make up on her face and looks overdressed than the bride's?! It is so tempting for someone who haven't met the bride for 7 years, to go directly to her sister and wishes her to have a wonderful married life!! What's more funny is to knew that this mistaken identity is going to happen and let it happen with a bunch of friends staring at this girl's face!! - Priceless look!! No matter how smart this guy is - he was the dumbest ass that night!!
