Facebook notification wakes me up. Let Sarita Navindutt Rao know what you are thinking of her !
I mean like has FB gone mad. I am supposed to tell her what I think of her? 'Pagal kutte ne kaata hain kya ?'
Incredibly disturbed that FB was now trying to rake up matrimonial disharmony I reread the notification and heaved a sigh of relief.
It read ' Let Sarita know you are thinking of her'
Clever. Aah ! They had read my mind and removed the 'What'
I went across to her this morning and told her I was thinking of her. She looked at me like something the cat had brought in.
"What ?" She asked in a dramatic fashion followed by an emphatic Mumbaiyaa " Kuch Bhi "
I said " Look my social life governance manager directed me to say so"
"What ??? . And who is that? " disbelieving perhaps that someone actually wanted to manage her husbands social life.
" I mean like the social network site that I visit and obey daily"
" Hmmmm. Is that just what you read? or something else?"
I was now unsure. Was this a trap? Had she sent me a message that I had missed? But she is not on FB so was unsure what she was alluding to.
Her hands on her waist now . Oh oh .. Not a good sign..pursed lips...the situation was getting worse...nostrils flaring..this was real bad now....
" Perhaps you may want to consider getting your social life managed by your son? "
"Why?" I asked meekly
" Because he wished me a happy birthday this morning and that a part of the prelude to the notification was perhaps lost on you??? " She glared hands pressing hard into a poor lemon she was trying to squeeze the juice of. The lemon begged for forgiveness but then I am digressing.
I looked at my son. He looked calmly nonchalantly at his laptop screen pretending to be delving deep into quantum mechanics trying hard to ignore his betrayal of his father. They guy had sucked up serious brownie points by being the lone ranger to wish in the family. He tried hard not to meet my stare lest it lead to a financial grave for his next pocket money dole out.
I turned back to my wife " Look that is a different issue. I was meaning to surprise you "
" Surprise ??? . When? After the day is over ? " She glared back shocked
" Errr , I was planning to join hands with Brutus err I mean Virohan and actually take you to Komala's for lunch'
" Komala's ...even today" I knew now I had gone 9 feet deep digging.
" No look forget the lunch, let's go for a walk in the nature park"
" And do what ? Look at you staring into the lovely pixellated eyes of a dragon fly ? ....NO ! "
Ok Sarita .. I get the point....and went back to my laptop
The social governance manager had refreshed.
Today is Sarita's birthday. Hope you have wished her well
Ooooppss......I rushed back
" Happy Birthday Sarita. Have a great day "
