Birthday with a Difference
(continued from previous post dated 15th March)
I resumed my monkey tricks instaneously. Sent her a
photo of a simian and tried to convince her that the
photo was hers! By now she had started adjusting well
to my pranks and even assured me that she'd sing me a
song on my birthday. So the crooked mind of mine,
worked up another trick....
lea - Liked ur return gift a lot ! Sweet. Oooff, am myself
relieved that u havent lost ur touch even in this mail,
thanks for that !But the picture which the camera took
of me, isnt that accurate u see...........I am not that fair,
my nose is much shorter, I dont have bulging blue eyes,
mine are plain big and black, my mouth isnt that wide,
and I am not blonde, I have long black curly hair ...........
So I am definitely not that pretty as the picture looks :-)
R, do u sing ?
kband - Yeah, now I get the picture. I'll modify the image
with Photoshop s/w as per your vivid description and
see if I like it ;-)) Though I lost my phone no. today, what
I gained was the no. of mails you sent me along with the
promise of your song on my b'day - btw did you know
that tomorrow is my b'day ? I have no pretensions as a
singer but if I'm out of employment maybe I can earn a
living by showcasing my musical talents in a train
compartment ! The notes just express my longingness
to know you better - Gaaner bhitor diye jokhon dekhi
bhubon khani........Sleep well Madhuri
lea - "Tumi hothath haowaye, bheshe asha khon, Hothath
paowaye chomke othe mon"
I have a sixth sense which helped me to know that its ur
bday today, otherwise why would i write abt singing u a
song on ur bday ?My dear R, Jonmodiner onek preeti o
shubhechcha janalam.......I couldnt find anything more
to say.....i browsed through a lot of sites, english as well as
bengali, but could find nothing that would be to your
liking and taste..........you are so different R. So i decided
to just wish you from my heart. of course the temptation
to call you was difficult to overcome.......but i thought it
better to be this way. Gaan-ta aapnaar paona roilo like
many other things. How do u feel today ? And what are
your plans ? Are you going to buy, or is someone going to
buy you new things and take you out on a "dinner date" ?
In our family (probably in all bengali families), payesh is
cooked by the mothers. But in our family this is only done
for the boy and not the girl. So I have to be content with
poncho shaak during lunch and of course cake, candles and
balloons in the evening !!! Imagine at this age :-)) I'll tell u
something funny which happenned on my friend's bday in
the US. this is the same "emergency vehicle" friend !
Since I am very fond of him, i thought i'd make him his
favourite "badaam milk". i took online consultation from
his friend (who was in australia then) on how to go about.
It took me about an hour to come with the badam milk
after harrassing many poor men, who lent me milk, sugar,
badam, the mixer and also the container in which i carried
the stuff to my friend's place, but none of them had the
fortune to even taste it. Anyway, so after the cake is cut
at 12 in the night and my friend gets his bday bumps
(ouch that hurts), i wait with baited breath for him to
remove the lid from my container. And guess what. he
takes a look at thing i have prepared, drinks it (rather
eats it) and then says "Yeh hai kya cheez?" And there
goes my badam milk....along witheverything i had
thought of. I had to literally force people to finish it off,
and most of it went down the drain. That was the biggest
fiasco of my life.
So,whats ur favourite food ? Oh no, dont worry, i am going
to refer to sanjeev kapoor (my saviour in many cases)
before i cook it up for u ;-))Now, i know, why there was a
no answer on the scorpio question.......u turn out to be a
taurean. do u believe in sun signs ?I am still thinking of
something special to say to you..................may be later in
the day. Let me not delay my wishes. Enjoy your day to
the fullest, and dont forget towrite to me about what you
did today. Signing off for now.......Madhuri
P.S. - The day u plan to "showcase your talent" in the
train let me know.....I'll book a seat. That is probably the
only way I can hear u sing ;-))
Why r u so worried abt having lost ur tel no..........after all
its just your tel no. not something more precious ;-)) As
an after-thought, I was wondering whether I should
actually call on that number. At least it would help me
make some wild guesses on ur age !! Oh did i scare you
(hee hee) ? R, Would you believe me if I say I were 42?
I keep getting these mails from 35+ weirdos who are
married, asking for a long/short term relationship and
promising to maintain absolute secrecy. What say you,
should I respond ? may be it would be interesting after
all. And then you would help me with the"discipline 007"
lines.
