(Because I have nothing else to write about)


Part of gtalk conversation I had yesterday with my friend Tista:

me: anyway, koschen
tista: yes..
me: is it just me or do you also like it when men carry pens in their shirt/kurta pockets?
tista: i like men carrying pens in kurta pockets.
me: kurta pockets better definitely
tista: yep
:)




Now you know.

Found this bit of silly writing among some old letters and photographs- written (I think) by my father and his friend, S. Obviously they found the idea of the marriage of their mutual friend G (aka Bunty) to a Bangladeshi girl hilarious.
