Seriously??

Some people freak me out. Seriously. Now there is this lady who has joined our firm two weeks ago. When I was introduced to her, she made some smart ass remark about my surname which by itself put me off. But I'm practising this new theory where I've decided not to judge people in the first instance. Anyway yesterday I had the opportunity to interact with this lady during lunch. It seems she recently got married and her husband works in one of our rival firms. Two mins into the conversation and she started complaining about her husband. He doesnt take me out, he doesnt give me time , this and that. This went on for forty five mins. And this is my second conversation with this lady, mind it.

After a point I couldnt take it anymore. I tried my best to steer the conversation to other topics she just dint budge. I gave up and made some excuse and left the place.

Ok, I am not judging. She has major problems with her marriage and all that is fine. But tellin all this to a total stranger? How weird is that?

I was reminded of Rachel talking about her relationship with people on the plane when she leaves for London to attend Ross's and Emily's wedding :-D

sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers, but i think she needs to pick her audience better. you did the right thing by walking away. especially because you didn't want to hear it lol

@viji- Ya complaining to frnds may lessen ur burden, but to total strangers shows lack of sensitivity towards your loved ones.

@samy- hello the only show I watch is FRIENDS. thats not too much!

@stephanie- exactly, it does help sometimes to talk to strangers. But you also need to judge if that person is comfortable getting into your personal details.
Btw Thanks for dropping by :)

What is this thing about men and sports? Why do they get all possessive about their love for sports? And finally why do they have such a big problem if women show some interest in any game? Two weeks ago I was at the eye doctor’s clinic in the evening. This was a time when people still believed that India could make it to the Super Eight. Bangladesh was playing against Sri Lanka that day. Since there was no television at the doctor’s clinic, I called up this guy friend of mine and asked him the score. This is how the conversation went- Me- hey wats the score? He- wat score? Me- today’s cricket match score, u fool He- India is not playing today Me- I know, I’m askin about the Bangladesh n Sri lanka match He- Wat? Y? Is there someone next to you and you are just showing off? ??????? Probably not all guys are like this but most of them are. Do they think its only a man’s territory? Do we get irritated when a man gets a facial? I jus don understand men!

There are some moments in life when you actually feel that your childhood (probably not the right word) has come to an end. When you feel you cant behave like a brat and expect people to say- oh she’s just a kid. Being the youngest in my family and also at my work place, I never thought of myself as a grown up. Even when I started earning. Yesterday I met one of my closest friends & childhood playmate. She’s getting married and leaving the country in a few days . I knew it all along but when I said bye to her yesterday , it finally sunk into me that everything is changing. The house where we spent countless days playing choppu and other invented games is going to belong to someone else soon. God, I’l never forget those days. And it’s horrible to know it’l never come back.
