Aaaaaaaaaaargh (Contd.)

As every one who has ever attempted to write humour knows, embellishment (or Imagineering, as a friend calls it) is an integral part of spinning funny tales. As the old adage goes "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!"

However, this blog post literally wrote itself. I've barely touched the original sentences, except, in some cases, to actually make them more readable (sad but true..)

Say hello to some of my prospective suitors..
(What follows are excerpts from some e-profiles that I've received, with my devilishly funny comments on the same in bracketed italics.. Enjoy!)

My Golden words:

I like COMEDY very much. By sensitive humor sense, i can understand everybody's thoughts. I am not telling the heroism, just telling the character. AT THE SAME TIME, I WANT TO BE A SIMPLE AND POWERFUL PERSON IN OUR SOCIETY.By GOD'S GRACE, definitely it will become true.That's all. Please don't add EXTRA fittings while thinking about me, if any.

Oh My God!!! I was literally laughing in office to the astonishment of my colleagues... A Laugh riot! I would say, Even though it is peppered with imagineering (I thought you forgot).

All I am worried about is about the eventual "Pati". Poor chap.

A good one...haha

The icing on the cake would have been the pics of these 'prospective' grooms.. You know, that grotesque passport size piece of art which they upload on matrimonial sites..

The Pussy Putta guy deserves a reply, I mean he wrote it in CAPS and all.. kinda passionate if you ask me.. :P

Enjoyed reading your blog, hope Kanpur is treating you well..
