ek duje ke liye

i just met an old long lost school friend of mine a couple of weeks back. we go way back to those good ole days where we ruled the school- literally. Ganesh. He was the head boy and me the head girl. he was the total thair saadam- vibhooti on the forehead- sincere- tamil iyer boy. i was the tom boyish teacher ass licking goonda girl. we never got along together. he believed in always scoring the highest hence worked hard. i believed in only keeping the teachers happy, so worked smart. and then in class eight i left shahabad. after all these years ganesh suddenly appeared. he called to say he was in bangalore with his bong-wife. ah! i was happy about the bong bit, and that she was jobless too. good. so we met.
poornima and ganesh. they make a lovely couple. they are what kamal hassan and rati agnihotri were in ek duje ke liye. the same story (this one has a happy ending). if ganesh wants carrot and beans everyday,poo wants posto and mangsho! this gets interesting. the first time we met we had an arguement over who has a better variety of breakfasts! bongs or madrasis! the debate was endless- dosas and upma reigned supreme on health and convenient-to-cook factors, while luchis and kochuris scored high in pleasing the taste buds, but super high on calories and highly time consuming to prepare.

whatever!
poo and i make great friends...we bond on a different level altogether....our similarities are almost too much of a coincidence and rather comic....like the otherday we discovered that both loved to pick up clothes that come with hangers :). (it feels odd at times that i am bonding away with my chaddi pal's wife...dont ask why...just a funny feeling in the tummy...)

we also share another similarity: we both have bpo-husbands. hence a lot of cribbing is done together. Poo has a job today. my bitching mate is busy, like all others.

so there, lemme get back to my world. hmmmmmmm..................
