Today, me and Abhi (my husband) are to dine at a family friend of my parents-in-laws. Now they have been calling us over for some 3 years now (since we got married). And we have been putting it off for some three years now.

Nooo, there is no problem with them. They are absolutely fine people. But the problem is that they are calling JUST me and abhi- not my parents-in-law. Now those of you who are wondering that why is it a problem i just want you to know that abhi has a special mechanism of ‘Shutting Down’ or rather ‘Hibernating’ when in unsolicited company. Which implies that as soon as we reach their place abhi is going to utter all of  few 100 words like  “How are you uncle?” , “Yeah, business is fine.”, “Grandparents are fine.” and the likes. After these few niceties he will get into his shell and the host and hostess whom i have not met for more than a total of 10 minutes so far will be left staring at me while abhi will finely be watching any non-sense that might be there  on TV or fidgeting with his mobile.

I feel really sad for the host because they feel it is their duty to call us over for dinner but what they fail to understand is that there are NO conceivable topics of conversation between them and us. You see, I can’t possibly be telling them what i did today at work- like write this post :P, and if they want me to pay heed to why Smriti Irani’s comeback is a boon or bane to Kyunki… then i will have to imitate abhi!!

So, for those of you who have endured such moments of social torture please tell me how do i save myself?? I have a few ideas but i have tried them for three years now so gotta think of something else!

Ummm lets see- how about having a friend call up and tell me it’s an emergency and have me rescued??

I guess i am going nuts!!

ummmmmm, help me damn it!

YES!

That is what they are going to be.

Any reason that i put up here is going to be invalid, face-saving and pathetic. But I will still put them up

–> I am reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Reading it for the third time. And I find it sooooo engrossing that the first thing i do after work is get back to it. Though there are a few scenes in it which i know by heart now but still i find it toooooooo endearing to think of anything else.

–> Bcoz i am reading Atlas Shrugged all i think of are the characters of the novel. Hence i really find no valid topic to write on. Again a pathetic reason.

–> I have been busy with work and family (hahaha… i don’t believe i am writing this)

–> I have run out of topics. (Of course when you don’t think about it, it ought to happen)

–> Writing a blog is insensible. Well its the most sensible thing which requires the attention of your senses and hence I am unable to write

Well, let me be honest. The actual and the only reason is

I HAVE BECOME LAAZZZZZYYYYY

Yes. Now i am talking. No other godforsaken reason.

Ahaa… finally i have started being honest.

And hopefully this honesty shall translate into hard work. Please pray for me and in case you can find some other incentives for me to work on my blog please give them

Amen!!
