So Ramesh, are you married ?
No Sir .
What are you waiting for ??
Pause – no answer ..
Do you have any sisters ?
Yes Sir , one , she is married .
Good , so its your turn next , no ??
Yes Sir , my parents are already looking .
Excellent Ramesh !! Ask them to find you a rich girl !!
No Sir .
No Sir .
Why ?
Rich girl will not be good Sir .. We have experience Sir .
They are looking for poor girl only , Sir .
Why Ramesh, what is wrong with rich girls ?
Sir, Rich girl … we will want them to.. to obey ..
Rich girl will not obey our orders . Sir .
OK … and ??
Sir they will only want money and want to be happy .
Ramesh , is that not what all of us also want in life ??
Not that Sir . Poor girl will know lot more , she will know lot more house things . She will be nice because she will know sadness also Sir !!
And that is how the conversation progressed and finally eliminated the prospects of any rich girl marrying Ramesh , the taxi cab driver ( hailing from Tumkur ) who picked me up at Bgl airport and dropped me @ my home last night ..

Hee hee...the typical indian psyche ! Great post.
ReplyDeleteyes, typical but practical too. And, I like the sadness part. Given the contemporary ultra-happy world, its a pity there's no sadness left..
