WITnessed : Got Milk!?

When I was giving the All India Engineering Entrance Exam in Bombay, I was staying at Neela Massi & Tipu Uncle's place... (They're both one of my coolest Aunts & Uncles respectively!)

The morning before the exam, Neela Massi was being the good motherly aunt, and making sure I was relaxed, well rested and especially well fed, while I was cramming last minute as usual...

Neela Massi : Do you want anything else to eat?
Pratik : (With my nose in my notes, and my mouth full of fruits) Thanks, but I'm fine... : )
Neela Massi : Will you have anything else to drink? I've got fruit juice - orange, grape etc...
Pratik : Cool... I might have some juice later... Thanks... I'll take it don't worry...
Neela Massi : Should I get you some milk? How do you like your milk? There is hot milk... But if you prefer cold milk, I can cool it...
Tipu Uncle : (chimes in) Yes Neela, do that!
Pratik : Nah its fine... I won't have milk...
Tipu Uncle : I mean just cool it! : ) Let him cram in peace... He'll ask if he needs anything!

And we all cracked up! lol

This happened back in April 2003... But it was so spontaneous and hilarious that I still remember it!

WITnessed : Religiously Healthy...

Sneha : Toni, are you guys religious? As in do you go to Church often?
Toni : No we went only for my daughter's baptism! Haven't been there ever since.
Stephania : I think I'm the only one who here who goes to church. Last year I went for an entire week... but then I didn't go anymore!
Toni : Yeah going to church is like going to the gym - you go for a week and then forget all about it!
lol

WITnessed : Sleepwatching...

After a long day in the mall, we were on our way to a movie in the evening, and Birte [1] (Sneha's roomie in Pretoria) was feeling sleepy...

Sneha : You can go home and sleep if you want Birte...
Birte : No its fine... I can sleep in the movie...
Nana : But why would you want to go to a movie if you're sleepy?
Birte : I don't want to go home and be alone...
Nana : But you just want to sleep right?
Birte : Ya, but still...
Nana : Now don't say that you don't want to sleep alone!

PS : Nana is my Grandmom... who just turned 72 this month! : )
[1] For the non Germans... Birte is not pronounced "Berty"! Her name is pronounced "Beer"+"ta"... or Berty... depending on your mood... : P

WITnessed : Cyclists Beware!

Over dinner...

Udayan : Yaar, the other day Bagga and me were going to that awesome eating joint, but the cops were on the road so we had to turn back and go elsewhere! [1]
Pratik : Yeah these cops are damn annoying man! You should get a cycle! These cyclists are so lucky... They've got nothing to lose...
Udayan : Except their lives!

[1] They havent registered their bike in Andhra Pradesh State, and so the cops fine them every time they catch them.
