How aspiration works

Our house help Sarala was telling us the other day: “Look at our country – dirty surroundings, garbage everywhere, people spitting and urinating on the pot-holed roads…
“And yesterday I was watching a foreign country on TV. Such clean and wide roads, people walking around systematically, not a speck of dust anywhere, everything in its proper place… oh… wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in such a country?”

Scene in a marriage: Sharing responsibilities

Hubby: While you had gone out, it took me only two minutes to tidy up the living room. Why can’t you also keep the house spick and span?
Wifey: Oh that… I had deliberately left things a little messed up. If I clean up everything, what will you do?

Humour in the train

First class passenger (most probably Maharashtrian) to another: “Do you have pain?”
Aah, one concerned friend asking another about his health, I thought… till I realised that he was asking for a pen.

Eavesdropping: Young man on cellphone

I am not very keen about marriage but my family is pressurising me. So I am seeing online profiles of about 300 girls every day. If I come across any fataka I’ll say yes to marriage.
