With More Than A Pinch Of Salt

Always take an ordinary person's word with a pinch of salt. When its someone extraordinary, just a pinch won't do. Empty the jar.

After a hiatus...

I didn't update this in a year and a half. Yeah, so sue me.

Yesterday was a turning point in my life. The following conversation with Baccha changed my entire outlook from easy naivete to a dark pessimism

Bachha : Dude, lemme tell you a truth in life...

Me : Okay...

Baccha : Dude, you will never get a girlfriend, ever again...

Me: ...

Hula, Mame, Neta, Bhond, Anty and Doodh roar with laughter

Hula : That is so true... hahaha... you ..gasp ... hahaha... gasp...

Me: Dude, that is soo not funny, why the hell...

All in unison : It so is...! LOL

Mame : Totally man, I really cant imagine you with a girl ever... you are like... (stops short of actually saying it)

Baccha : (to Mame) but there is more... It is HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE (!!) for you to get a girlfriend

(Mame shuts up)

Baccha: AFAIK, none of us will ever get a girlfriend

(All relapse into tense silence)

Congratulations Baccha, you ruined my life in 3 sentences.
