Ok, so I am in United States. So, what's the big deal?
Recent conversation with my dad:
[I call him up after a night out of err..academics (ok so i watched a movie, so wot? I studied too!x()]
After all that dialling Indian mobile # and my balance updates from a sucky voice on IVRS, I delve right into the conversation..
Me: So whats up?
Dad: Oh hi my dear baby, Manjuttie.
[Me is confused. Dad never really gets all "sweet" and "gooey" like that]
Me: Err..ya, hi dad. Dear dad!
Dad: So hows the apartment at New York [emphasising on "New York" so much that I thought for once
I was beginning to hear things TWICE. argh!]
Me: What apartment?
Dad: Ya, so you got an internship at NEW YORK. CONGRATULATIONSSSS!!
Me: Didnt I inform you that late October last year? [Still confused]
Dad: [Paying no attention, whatsoever] So what is the time at TEXAS?
Me: Huh!! Gosh! Where the heck are you? Are you outside?
Dad: [Finally answering my question] Yes, at this society meeting.
Me: Oh yaaa. That explains all this NEW YORK, TEXAS emphasis huh?
Dad: [Switching back] So how is the weather there at Texas?
Me: Dad, stop!!
Dad: I was just telling Mr. XYZ, about your trip to Seattle
Me: Ya, god bless him, but does he even know what you are talking about? He doesn't know what "Seattle" is, I bet.
Dad: And I told him my daughter has been to Seattle and it rains there all the time
Me: Why don't you also tell him about the weather at Colorado, San Franscisco, Florida and New York? It doesn't matter if I have been there or not. Also tell him that it doesn't rain that much at SF, funny ain't it?
Dad: So i heard the apartment at NY costs 3000$ per month? It is 1,20,000 rupees per month na?
Me: [I give up] Alright I will call you later. Do you friggin' know it costs 6 cents/min for this stupid call. Switch off the mobile and speak to your heart's content. It doesn't matter if I am on the phone.
Dad: Ok, I will you back when I am home. HEHEHE.
Me: [After hanging up] So much for hi my dear baby! x-((((((
