Small yet a nice chat!



It is just a routine afternoon where I am figuring to set all the clothes and stuff in my closet.
Then house keeping lady entered. And the conversation goes here:

She: Hey honey, how are you doing today? Do you mind if I enter and start work.
Me: Yeah, I am good. Please go ahead.
Btw my name is Julia. I hope I am not disturbing you. Can I continue chatting with you?
Me: Oh of,course, even I like talking to people. Unfortunately I don’t know any one here.  I don’t mind as you can see I m not busy :)
She: That’s so nice of you.  So, are you guys from India or some where near to it.
Me: Whoa, you are right, we are from India. But I am curious to know how did you guess it?
She:  I used to watch Indian movies so I get to see people there..so you guys and the one opposite to your room seemed so.
Me: ohho..well so where are you from?
She: I am from WV itself. I live in a house just a few miles from here.  What about you? Are you here for vacation? How is India?
Me: Nope, My husband is on a business trip. He works in PA. We will be here for few weeks. I have come to US this year, a six months ago, so I miss India.
She:  Oh so you are married? You look very young? You mean Indians marry at their young age?
Me: lolz lolz lolz…what do you think of my age? Young means? Ok, guess my age?
She: It’s is 21. Well, I am sorry if you are younger.
Me: Oh my good ness! I am 26 :) July 1987 born :) but thanks for the compliment. And It’s not even an year we got married.
She: Jeez!  You look like a college going girl..are you kidding? I appreciate your honesty in correcting me and letting me know your correct age.
Btw Can you guess my age?
Me: I think you are 22?
She: I am 20 :( :( Do I look so? I am early to work today, I am kind of..tired.. I got 20 this march :(
[well, she started worrying so much. It appears to me like Americans are very particular when it comes to their skin/age ! I did not know what to do. I tried to soothe her]
Me: Oh, I am sorry, I am pretty bad at guessing you know…but It’s a strong fact that Americans are white skinned and you all just look pretty,sexy what not! Believe me.
She: No, may be we look pretty but you guys from India though fair skinned..always look young. And you look slim too. How do you maintain? Are you regular to gym? Well I am regular but I take off on weekends.
Me: Oh,  I don’t go to gym. I am a lazy dog. After coming to US, I have put on so much weight.
You seriously sound strange! Some of us feel inferior looking at your white skin. Even guys from India are crazy about white women! But I m totally clue less that you guys really like something about us too. I am deeply elated to hear this from you. :) And the reason why we look so young is, we don’t use many cosmetics. So our skin looks fresh and young though it is dark :)
She: God? I can’t imagine my face without make up, It looks all pale and gloomy. So, I never dared to stop wearing my foundation.
Me: Ok, leave it..tell me are there any great places in Charleston to visit. I heard that wild life is amazing here?
She: absolutely. It’s known for wild life. There are well known Zoos and you come to my home, I have few deers at my back yard :)  Btw I am done. Have a great day. It’s nice talking to you honey.
Me: Same to you. Good day ahead. Thanks for inviting :)

I was actually smiling at the end after the discussion. There is nothing wonderful about myself. 
So I don’t know if she tried to flatter me or why would she flirt with me after all she is a girl.
Anyways., Aint that makes you feel great about yourself when the world’s famous white skinned pretty girls praise you all the way?

Cheers!

IPL Over Action leads to.......

              Unlike all the girls, I do not like watching TV serials. I used to do watch a few Hindi serials before marriage, but once I had to skip watching it for about six-eight months and later I found that story had not moved beyond the point I stopped. Lol.. Okay coming to the point, my interest of watching cricket developed because of my friends around me. Thanks a lot to them :) Now, it has become a addiction to me may be because I have no work :P Anyways, I have to control my over action towards it especially IPL because of these funny hurdles m facing.....

Incident #1:
One fine day, I had planned to make Veg.rice..As a routine, I started the cooking style..I washed rice, chopped vegetables and went to increase the volume while a match was going on. I was not able to tackle multi tasking that day...was involved so much in the match and That’s it. I had put an extra cup of water more than the required amount. My hubby came home for lunch and I said him..hey, I made Veg.Kitchadi… :P 

Incident #2:
I was doing video chatting with my parents ..my mom asked me to be online for some more time as my dad also wants to talk to me for a while..but then I told her that I wanna watch the match and disconnected the call ruthlessly !! My sister's immediate dialogue: Akka, OA tagginchukove..nee CSK ne gelustundi le :P



My fb friends reaction ....(No names are disclosed :P)
-----it feels like I am watching the match live seeing ur updates in fb…
-----hey, whomever u support, they are loosing…u keep doing it for csk..lol..
-----hey…amma..thalli..iron tongue..u said sachin will make 100, he was out for 9…I m blocking u..
-----girl, this is not fair, u lost the bet last year..u hav to pay me 1500 bucks...still trusted u and u lost this bet too ..so total u have to give me 3000...u ditching this time to???


Incident #3: 
A small argument with my hubby
He: Hey, I m going to play cricket with my friends tomorrow morning.
Me: It’s Sunday! U spend all ur time in office during week days and now on week ends also, you are leaving me :( huh??
He: Cricket is my favourite ra..!!
Me: okay, I will allow you for 2-3 hrs :P
He: Too much... It’s ur favourite too… ;) u can join me..if u want??
Me: Then, its gud..you create a team and we will play fantasy league :P
He: #facepalm!

Incident #4: 
 Here comes a disaster. It happened today...I was watching SRH vs RR Eliminator watch, the match was such an exciting one...in the end..I was fully elated that SRH has lost and I came to kitchen to do some regular work. I was just dumbstruck for a sec….phoned my hubby… Chetan, It’s urgent.. Come home… Kitchen is full of foam and water, I don’t know what to do…The foam is leaked from the dish washer ( I realized that I was involved so much in watching that… I have put so much detergent in it and it is the reason of the trouble...)
He (on phone): That’s okay…Now, put off the dish washer and try to throw the foam away..I will be on my way..

I was literally crying at the kitchen facilities in US, they really suck big time…I went to upstairs, opened the closet, I took out few towels, my hubby’s night pants and spent an hour in cleaning the floor…And after all this, I m sure that I wud have reduced few lbs that I have gained after marriage..

Now, see..I have got time to jot this post out of my laziness...it's all because of you IPL...I love you...and my OA continues...!! :) :)

Cheers!
Maddy.
