U,S,A and Me

Finally, after endless weeks of trips n outings, here is one
weekend where I was very much in Bangalore..
(but still, not at home)
;-)

Half of Saturday was spent continuing the acitiviy which I
started off the previous day evening - sleeping.
Soon after I got up, rubbing my eyes, I found myself
home alone - Dad gone to office, bro n bhabhi out.
Mom n sis are already back in Kerala..

Inorder, not to starve at home, a quick treat was organised.
S offered a treat. Now since her cousin, Alex is also very much
in the same locality, called him too..
(It would be an interesting fact to note that Alex is my long
time friend, since our college years, and I got to meet S only
a couple of month's back.. So I should be referring to S as
Alex's cousin and not vice versa)
:-S

After struggling with the Bangalore traffic, saving the ears from a few
cursing words from co-road-users, maneouvring (read falling into)
the potholes in the road, giving cautious eyes to (n breaking) a few
red signals, reached forum at 2.45PM.
Scheduled time was 2.30PM. But then, you see, never be on time
for a treat, especially when there is a delegate from the female
species involved..

Spent some quality bucks at Transit in forum..

Got into almost all the counters, ordered something or the other,
and made sure, she never offers another treat in her life time..

And as if that wasnt enuf, post Transit, leaped into Fabmall for one
serving each of icecream. (Well, I have to learn the art of keeping
a smile pasted on the face, even when your last penny is being
handed over to the other side of the counter... I'll take classes from
S. She seems to be an expert in this)
:-)

Now the best part of the day is yet to come...
Thru and endless chain of communication over the mobile, (ppl
knowing 'Rat' will read it as SMS. This is one guy, who hammers
the keypad more than the Sultan of Brunei*) somebody had offered
to come along with me into the Scullers shop to get me the 'height
offer' which was ON that time.. Well, the height offer can be
explained in this fashion:
If you go into the shop with a gal who is x' y" tall, you get a discount
on purchase. And the discount amounts to 10x + y
Nothing explains better than an eskample - go with a 5' 7" tall gal,
and get a discount of 57%

So here comes U, ever bubbly n smiling (I know she ll read this one)
;-)
After a formality question sequel (How are you, how is work,
who are you :-S ), weheaded into Scullers.
I went straight to the counter, gathered courage, took a deep breath
and asked in my "fluent" Yingleesh "The height offer is there, right?"
Pop came the reply "No Sir. Its over"

Now, since the situation no more demanded any phirangi, the next
'verse' was in plain malayalam..
"Offer illenkil ente patti vaangum.. Vaa povaam"

U was very sorry for having lost the life-time opportunity to buy me
a pair of dress.. (Hope she doesnt read this!!)

Well, bid adieu to U n S. Alex n I headed to Autobahn. Sand greeted
us with sleepy eyes (Well our motto says "Weekends -> PIMCIF or
sleep" ). And Sand never breaks any rules. We joined him..
Zzz....


* - Pls excuse me, couldnt think of anything else. and I hav no
clue what that means :-S
