BACHELOR'S BEWARE!!!

Embarrasing Incident

This happened on 25 October. Me and my friend went to a small restaurant to have some snacks after a movie. It was inhabited only by us and an old couple. As my friend was very hungry, he was munching on his menu, but I was having a cup of coffee.

We were doing some small talk about the movie and the producer and politics of South India, etc... We were talking in the lingua franca of our own: Sanskritized Tamil. In the middle, the old gentleman interuppted and started rambling about the political system and the flaws of perpetrators in Tamil Nadu and quoted the harrowing experiences he himself had undergone. Then, he asked about our caste, community and place of work,etc... We, both innocent guys :-), gave the details with utmost sincerity to the old gentleman and his wife proudly.

Like a bolt from the blue, the old man told that he is looking for a boy for his relation and that the girl is working in TCS Bangalore and blah blah. He even went on to ask our addresses. Man! Both of us felt very shy and pathetic at that point of time. We felt embarassed to the core. He sensing our shyness, asked us to atleast give our parents' address. My friend, a little fickle-minded, told me that let's give the address.

I thought I've had enough of this and bluntly told the old man that we have parents who will take care of our marriage proposals and moreover we were only 23. Then the old man duly apologized saying that the girl was already 26. I heaved a sigh of relief.

So, (Eligible) BACHELORS BEWARE!!!
