Grin n Bare

(continued from previous post dated 1st March)
In my frenzy to reach out to her by any means, I
committed a faux pas. Quite unintentionally my name
got revealed through my email id! I wasn't quite sure
what damage that could cause, if at all, but for the
moment there appeared no other option but to ignore
such glitches and soak in the mirth.


kband - Thousands and thousands of blue blistering
barnacles*#@$!This is what happens to smartest of
conmen, one wrong move, a single lapse of judgement
and you're a dead duck. I blame it all on your
intoxicating charm - first you ship-wreck me and then
get yourself marooned with me on this unknown
faraway island. We're fully exposed now, what is your
next move ? As for me, you've already drawn the
Laxman-rekha so let me go n fish. Maybe you can fry
some for me 'bong-ishtyle' and we can spend the days
collecting pebbles and counting stars....Is this the
'shorbonasher asha' you had made an ominous mention
about y'day ?Yeah, I've already experienced quite an
impressive display of your intellectual abilities, that's
what turns me on (oops, just joking). I'd borrowed the
part about Alto being the 'hottest' car from Maruti's
promos and the part about myself I'd borrowed from
thin air. I still don't think you are tempting me to be
anything but cool, but the invitation is hard to resist:)
Your name was guessable (once the other anagram
didn't work) but the teasing manner in which you
revealed that your mom fetches the mangoes was
maamorable!So you read my profile, let me tell you
that's a load of rubbish (I'm trying to do a Charles
Sobhraj now), the real me is here, in my words, my
letters, my moods.... I try to do the same thing about
you - I've created you from the seeds of imagination
and embellished it with your attitudes - "apon moner
madhuri misahye tomare korechi rochona".Good
Night, Madhuri.



lea - Dear R, Shorbonasher aar ki baaki ache ? Shei
din-i shorbonash deke aanlam jedin theke aapnake
e-date korte shuru korlam (hee hee hee hee) Hmm, now
i am wondering what and how much we have been
exposed. u were very smart when u tried to find out my
name thru that story of Neela and all that (u cheat). I
knew that u would find out what my real name is. It was
silly of me to keep that id, isnt it ? Anyway how does it
matter. So on which island are we marooned ? That
reminds me of the grt movie i watched (its a must see
if u havent watched it already) "Cast away" - Tom
Hanks. I once possessed a desire to marry him ! Oh he
was out of the world (literally), made me cry at the end.
So, if its that kind of an island.......you would have to
forget "fish fry", i can only make u a roast in the
absence of shorsher tel ;-)) btw i am not a good cook,
if at all i can say i am a cook. but i have sometimes
prepared pretty exotic dishes out of sanjiv kapoor's show
and won prizes in office parties. And thank god, i drew
the lakshman rekha, or else i dont think u r very trust-
worthy ;-))>>oh oh, i must tell you what we bought
yesterday from shopper's. i got myself 2 real hot tops,
one black full sleeve and the other lycra, half sleeve, light
brown with stripes on it. i am waiting for the day when i
can wear them to office ! i also got some mehendi done on
my left palm, they did it for free because we had done
purchases there. the colour came out so well. hey, we are
planning to visit shantiniketan in june, all my project team
members. have u ever been there ? u say ur profile is
untrue, but can i believe ur letters ? here too u decieve
me by flattering and u admit to that. ? khoob baaje !
And whatever u r imagining abt me...........beware they
might all be wrong.......u'd then be the dying to run away
from the island leaving me behind ;-)) "shei bhalo shei
bhalo amaare nahoy na jaano" -M
P.S - Have u seen the video of "Kaanta laga". I have not
yet watched it, but there is an article in anadabazaar on
it. Wonder whats so special abt that song ?



kband - Honestly Madhuri, you are an extraordinary
person - a versatile genius ! Thanks for enlightening me
about ur culinary skills, I can only admire in silence -
some people are really lucky. Do you still get any hint of
insincerity in the adulation I always feel like showering
on you, doesn't matter, I'll keep telling you exactly how
and what I feel. 'Kaanta Laga' is a modern adaptation of
the golden oldie which has been made 'famous' by the
gyrating midriff of a nubile nymphet (Shefali something,
who hails from a conservative Gujju family). The culture
police have raised a hue n cry about the erotica blah-blah
projected in the video all of which have enabled this
catchy song to scale the popularity charts and it's been a
regular on all the music channels. If you've not seen it
means that you're not quite a TV buff (another good
quality) but if you ever watch the song, you should make
your own judgement. Delhi papers are presently agog
with the other 'hot' news - Liz Hurley, Arun Nayar and
their explicit show of affection in public! Sign of the times,
what say ?Your smile, your giggles and your jovial nature
makes you a more attractive person than the mehndi on
your hands, the exotic nose studs or the hot tops you are
decked up with ! But don't worry M, I'll try not to belittle
your trust even though I seem to have taken enough
liberties already :-)) Na na go na, korona bhabona.....
I'm not able to concentrate today, let me wind up for now.
