The most populated Date

It's been a very hectic month so far, cardiologist, clinic, ticketing…all crazy stuff happening around. Some heart breaks, burns and attacks...still life is moving on with a steady pace. Firmly following its course making mockery of our plans...i have seen quite a lot of that in blogosphere also.

Na na no...i am not going to share any thing gloomy. My friend came from Lucknow to visit a famous cardiologist in his last attempt to avoid his dad’s bypass surgery. His would be in-laws were also visiting Delhi with his would be wife. And i thought i must earn some punya (reward of good work) by making the couple meet. And let me tell you, it's quiet a task. They both were at my place and wanted to go somewhere alone...and the very word going alone raised some eye brows. Finally we clinched a deal that five people will go on this hilarious date.

I was supposed to go with one more friend to drop the couple at a nearby mall. Her dad pushed my friend’s brother-in-law in the party. This world's most populated date started at the entrance of the mall. I asked myself how to counter this bhai-behen prem (brother-sister love). (Ref: The song "Chand sitaron ka sabka kehna hai....). I wanted the couple to sing: "jab pyaar kiya to darna kya...(why to fear when in love)" But the girl was not ready for the ride. So at the entrance, i started talking to her brother with the other friend covering his view. And the couple disappeared in a hurry.

I started asking him all those questions without any interest in answers. Some questions you may need them sometime in life

Who is better Shahrukh or Salman?
When do you go to office?
What do you do there?
How is boss like?
Who do you like more Katrina or Kareena?
Do you smoke?
Do you have a girl friend?
Are there more arrest happening in Delhi blast?
Do you love your job?
Is your girl friend beautiful?
Are you planning to marry her?
Does she like your job?
What's your salary?
What do you think about new nuclear deal?
What do you feel about India’s medals in Olympics?
Many more…

Huhh!!! ha ha ha…

While i was barraging him with questions my friend was getting some private moments with his would be wife amidst the crowd unknown. By the time his brother-in-law could understand how irrelevant my questions were he had already answered my dozens of questions. All three of us were donating blood to a long queue of mosquitoes…as all is fair in date and friendship.

Instead of saying, he had to keep an eye on his sister, he said, "we are getting late – aren't we?" I said, “yeahhhhhhhhhhh” and started telling him tales of my friends eloping successfully. Because he told me in one of his answers that he has a girl friend. He listened to all those stories with open mouth – i could manage to squeeze out another half an hour. Then finally his dad's words became better of him and he said firmly, “now we should go back.” And that is how this most populated date ended.
