Instant Food Vs Finding a Bride!!!
After Grandma’s and Aunty Sue’s visit, I started playing double attention to one of the in-boxes. If my “inbox” was a female, she would have already had about 3 kids.. but she calmly bears all the attention and waits for me to decide on one!!“Ohh, another one today!!” Honestly, I like a dark, 6’ tall, handsome pilot to take me in his helicopter, but I will also like him to give me a lil breathing space and to be able to type more than two sentences in readable English!! Well, he seems not thinking that women need to be sentimental on things like marriage, love, romance, its just saying “yes” and the next day, you will be walking down the aisle and the day-after, you are in the supermarket looking for pampers for infants. (Instant food mess up the brain cells!!)
Alright, there should be a way to know, and a way to let him know. He can be good too! Always give the benefit of the doubt to the suspect, until he is proven guilty. (Working with legal people has made me a too legal person!!) Now how to be polite and tell him that I’m not into him? Ah, skype, easy, no cost and spare my personal phone. “Hi Melo I’d like to add you on skype, “LionKing”. Melo has just added LionKing on skype!!!
“So are you in timbuck2?” “No Im in Sri Lanka. Can I call you please” “Oh is that so? Then why is that your profile says that you are from timbuck2?” “Oh that’s where I learnt to be a pilot. Can I call you please”. “Ah. I got it. So wont you go there anymore”? “Well, right after I find my bride, I’l be returning there. Can I call you please”. “Oh that’s nice. So are you 38 years old?” “Actually Im 40yrs. Can I call you please?”. “Oh your profile says its 38, but 40 is not bad. So your family is in Sri lanka too? “No all of them are in Timbuk2. Can I call you please? “LionKing, the time is 12mid night .. I logged in a lil late becoz my mother was not feeling too well and can we please talk tomorrow?”. “Its ok then, Melo. I hate text chatting. Lets talk straight away, tomorrow.”. He got 0.00001% patience. “goodnight”. Beep beep beep beep…
Opens the inbox next day, Yep one from the “LionKing”. “Melo, why don’t you tell him that deciding on a life partner is not like cooking instant noodles?”…
“So, will you ring me or you want me to ring you?” “ring ring ring..”. texting. “let me put on my headphones, please.”(ohh for God’s sake have some patience!!!). “Alright. I’m done. Ring me”…
“Caesar, take this tea cup out. Good night.. ah wait now.. What’s for breakfast? Hmm.. I like green gram, and have some fresh coconut scrapped ok.. and Onion Salad with some beef curry. Yes yes, that’s enough for breakfast.. hmmmm and lunch.. now Caesar not much of rice is needed.ok. Have we got fish in the refrigerator? That’s good. Take three kinds of vegetables. Now remember a green leaves salad is a must!! My cholesterol level has gone up. Check the fridge and let me know whether I have to buy curd and honey tomorrow…and dnt forget to wake up in the morning to make egg Coffee. Thank you Caesar. Ok go now. Good night again. Close the door behind you.. "Ah. So is “Melo” your real name? (haha he has not forgotten that he called me)
“weeehhhll.. I was trying to tell al this time, as I have mailed you once, that.. that I need a lil time to get to know the person that I’m gonna settle with”. “sure.. then its alright. Well you know. My problem is I need someone to manage house. Ceaser needs a break too. So.. I need it to be very quick (yep I already know that) otherwise it will be wasting of my time. (ohh mom why did u teach me good manners. I need to tell him off!!). “All good LionKing. I wish you all the very best in your search”. ”Yeh thanks for being honest and saying that you need time. All the best to you too..” …bye bye LionKing… beep beep beep…
