An incident

Its 3:20 in the morning and i cant get a wink of sleep. But, that's not why i am writing this post. there is something lingering on my mind that needs to be put down here. Though i cant really place my finger on it (as usual). Its like i wanna get into the flow to take it out of me (refer to earlier post)

So, i was traveling back from Chennai to Bangalore in one of the many Volvo buses that make our lives a little bit easier. This old 'Uncle' struck up a conversation with me. He asked me about my work, where i lived, where my parents lived, what kind of work my father did, whether i have gone abroad or not, where i did my schooling/Graduation/PG.
And then went onto tell me about his extended family. It was really funny. The guy completely interrogated me as if i was there to marry his daughter or something. And gave me enough information of his family to make me an authority on the subject.

And then he said something totally unexpected, he said "you will go to New York, after your marriage"
I was completely taken aback. I didn't known what to say, all this while he i was trying to get rid of the weird enough conversation and it kept getting weirder.

At once it struck me that he was just being nice - like old people are to younger ones, but the sincerity with which he said it - was something i cant really explain.
Anyway, good luck to me... & him as well...
