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!
