so how freaky is it when your mum sneaks up on you with an article about "Finding Mr Right" from some inane magazine and wants to - 'discuss' - it. Those are her precise words. Discuss?? discuss what?
She wanted to know what's my criteria for marrying a guy so that she could find one for me. Hello?? .. am I missing something here? Can someone tell me what's the logic in her knowing MY preferences so that SHE can look for a guy. Someone please enlighten me.
she poses seemingly hypothetical situations to me.... something like this-
Mother: So say there is this one guy, just suppose you know, NOT that there is one, but let's just SAY there is.
Me: .. uhhh ok.. go on
Mum: and this completely non existent guy has a good job, is ok looking, has lots of money (i'm thinking here ... where did that money come from??) and ..(here she plays what she supposes to be her trump card) lives in ENGLAND! (triumphant expression on face)
Me: .. yeah ...... and?
Mum: then there's this OTHER guy .... completely hypothetical of course, who's got a good job too, is quite good looking, doesn't have that much money (me- where does it go if he has a good job? uses it as toilet paper ?) and lives in AMERICA!
Me: blank look
Mum: so now who would u chose? the one in England or in America????
Me: incredulous look.
I'm bombarded with these kind of conversation every now and then. I will either die laughing or lose my fragile sanity very soon

holy cow...
I have to say the title was inspired from rajat's link to the wikipedia article on Discordianism. Now that I've read that bit.. my brains are sufficiently gone to post something.so i'm back in meerut after my trimester. Actually that alone was enought to scramble my brains.. the article on discordianism was the icing on the cake
Nice to be back to uncivilization after living in that horrendous city. Even the cows seem familiar here.... i swear a couple of them grazing outside our house swished their tails amiably when they saw me..... or it was the effect of averaging 3 hours of sleep over the last ten days. whatever.
so there's no hydro most of the time... that's not so bad.. i can still sleep without the fan so that time doesn't go waste. I have broadband, that's not so bad either. So when I'm not sleeping, which by corollary means there is hydro, I can surf the net.mum has a phone with free sms service. that's not bad at all.. considering i somehow managed to message something like 900 messages last month. ouch. no wonder I have corns on my fingers. and a big hole in daddy's pocket not to mention.
