- Because his idea of furniture is a rumpled-sheeted coir mattress.
- Because he’s hard-wired to dribble over Amma’s cooking (never mind Appa’s 2 bypasses).

Oh, c’mon OJ, we’re not that bad
The Italians, i hear, are equally glad
With apron strings
And nasal bull-rings
Why blame us Mamas — Casanova was, anyway, a cad!
Aunty G: You, my lovely aunt, aren’t included,
But to think otherwise you’d have to be deluded,
They’re all over the place
Clueless about something called “space”
I’ve never met one who hasn’t intruded!
Hahahha… This was a gooood one!
Lol! I so agree.
Delurking! Love coming here 🙂
Very funny post, observations hit bulls-eye every single time I thought 😀

Q. Why were Jesus Christ and Mother Mary bengali?
A. He lived with His mum till He was 35.
He believed She was a virgin.
She though He was God.
Priti: Hello! First time around these parts? 🙂

DewdropDream: Someone with a nick as pretty as that absolutely should delurk. Welcome. 🙂
Piper: And truth is always stranger than fiction, right? 😉
M4: Oh, we could have the whole country fighting over their origins. They could be Tam, Gujarati, Konkani, Punjabi, Goan, Andhraite or Marwari! 😛
“Because he’ll scout around for garlic-free meals in Tuscany”
Pizza it is then? 😉
Suzy: If it were left to me, I’d be shoveling generous quantities of alio olio down his throat. 😛

Anindita: Oh tell tell, Anu-girl! 😉
She said I had a pretty nickname!!! *Goes into raptures* 😀
And umm… I think you’ll find it is Aglio Olio. My all time favourite dish!!
DewdropDream: …also called Alio Olio or Alio e Olio. 🙂 It’s the Boy’s favorite too.
Ahh.. one learns something new every day! Mucho gracias!
DewdropDream: Now correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it muchas gracias? 🙂
hehehe… errmmm… I’m only using phraseology I once saw used, which may have been wrong… so I’m clueless on this one 😀
DewdropDream: You probably heard it from a Yankee attempting “Mexicano-speak”. 😉
This is absolutely hilarious and very very true!
Mansi: 😀 You have your very own phonamma story?
Ha ha, good one! 🙂
True, most Indian men just don’t get it.
But thanks to our workshops, hundreds of them now do.
We usually conduct paid workshops, but we’ll happily conduct free workshops for men who cannot afford our fee (through NGO’s). Any of your readers associated with an NGO may feel free to contact us.
Keep up the good work meanwhile.
