The irony of it all stings bad.
Anywho.I went visiting the invalid and I met up with Apsidaisy,who was back too.Everyones back but one.
Apsidaisy is my friend version of a holiday-fling.We first met during the most god-amazing week in Goa along with a truck-load of other awesome gal pals,4 years back.It was an instant click.And we've kept in touch desultorily since.But whenever we meet,its sheer,absolute,completely retarded fun.
During the course of our long rambling talks,the conversation veered to diets,and crazy ones at that(Perfect that we are,we're girls,remember!)
Superwoman:The most craziest diet I've heard of needs you to restrict your water intake to 2 glasses a day,so that your muscles are better defined.
Apsidaisy:Yikes!
Superwoman:Seriously.
My friend,Dick,was on this diet,when he was competing for Mr. Penn
*Silence(the kind when you'd hear the pin dropping)*
Apsidaisy(telepathically):do mine ears deceive me?or did she just say what I think she did.
Me(mentally chanting):Dont laugh..dont laugh...dont laugh...her family is around..dont laugh..she has relatives over...dont laugh..dont laugh...dont----* Giggle Loop style explosion*
Honest.You cant make this kind of stuff up.

Over lunch,with Richie rich:
Me:So there was this time when I had this 23 yr old healthy patient and he went into syncope*.I was totally flipping out.......
Richie Rich(silently):That is exactly why man invented make-up.
Me:(continuing without a pause).......and worrying about never getting my license and basically wondering how I'm going to keep up with my more-than-average standard-of-living if I had to take up busking around god-knows-where......
Bastard
*syncope-cerebral hypoxia.
Fainting,for you laymen.

There are Part-tayyys and there are parties.Ambiguity and me were headed out to one such soiree that fell in the latter category and we knew it before we got there.And I'm not too good at feigning enthusiasm.So,I got my ensemble ready in 45 seconds.When i say ensemble,I'm referring to an old worn-out pair of jeans,a white blouse post head-on collision with chicken curry-all cloaked under an oversized RED corduroy jacket.But,I guess,you gotta do what you gotta do.Ambiguity was equally skeptical but she was looking nice in her whole ethnic attire

Me:(pointing at her kurta)Hey,nice...very boho...
Ambiguity:Thank you...but why do you look like a hobo?
Its been nice knowing you, oversized RED corduroy jacket.

My friend,the Extern was in college with me and just ahead of me on the roll-call sheet.That was till she defected.So,I don't get to meet her that often and we met the other night at Spaghetti Kitchen,for another friends birthday party,after quite some time.I seem to have forgotten that the Extern has this predilection towards having the occasional blonde moment...like,every 20 mins or so.
So I was in complete mouth-agape mode when she rushed to me quivering in shock and giddy excitement,when she returned from the loo,which is on the mezzanine floor of the place.
Extern:People!There is this table of around 10 Chinese kids with 5 adults above and each of them has a Playboy in their hands,completely engrossed...while they are at dinner!
Me:shaddup
Tarot twit:Kids?with Playboys?with adults around?at dinner?
*The guys at the table make a mad scramble for the stairs*
Extern:YES!Why don't you'll believe me?go see for yourself...my parents never let my brother have his Playboy at the dinner table.They're so lucky!
Me(head spinning):WHAT?
Tarot twit(sagely):And the world wonders why China is so ahead of its times...
The guys return.Looking mighty pissed.Before we know it-
*Loud thunk*
Extern(rubbing head):Owwww...why did you hit me?
Book-verm(snarls):There is a difference between GAMEboys and PLAYboys,you FOOL!
