A true to life incident.
My lil cuz sis to her mom: Mom, Tarun (14 year old) has a girlfriend!!
Mom (turning to me and whispering): Thank god....that means he is straight!!!
( Apparently Moms these days are relieved even if their 8 year old has a girl friend. What a change from the past don't you think? )

Funny, seriously! :P Your post, Mathew's comment and your reply... everything! :-)
hehe... great post and great comment
we need to thnk media, TV and also movies... :P
This brings back into my memory a conversation between me, my cousin and my mom..
my cousin to me :What are u writing ?
Me : A love letter ( slowly )
She went to my mom and told..
My Mom's reaction : "Avante kayyaksharam anganeyengilum nannaavatte " :)))
-- Even now, after so many years, my handwriting still remains the same ..
the question is, how many love letters have you (hand) written since?
@mosilager -- Internet has taken off that task from me..But really, I've flopped in it whenever I've tried :))
Sreejith and Ganesh : Thank you!! :)
brute: Yeah that too!!! :p
ajith: That was hilarious!!! :)) My lazy bro made me write his love letters...no wonder he still has such bad handwriting :p
mosilager: Very good question...we will know when we see Ajiths handwriting ;)
Ajith: Well defended!!!! :)
They are grabbing gfs at such an early age of 8 !!! No wonder all the good ones are taken by the time they are as old as this geezer me! :-(
Funny yet true... glad parents are accepting kids having BFs and GFs, and kids are telling parents.
one hilarious post and really super comments that followed all thru!
hmmm...after reading this i think i have a similar story to say...my studying in a boys school and hanging around guys all the time must have made my parents nervous...maybe that is why they would occasionally make fun of me with this "GF" of mine who studied way back in LKG with me when i was in a different schhol!
Well this is 'info' to me.
Didnt know people were moving so fast in an odd way.
:)
its fun !
moi boy friend n me were sharing a cig and cracking some jokes when this firangee lady walks over,asks for a light and smiles at us.she didnt say nething but she meant "eppazha kalyanam" :)))

Alexis: Thank you :)
asterix: Yeah boys are apparently on a roll these days with worried parents anxiously watching for signs of interest in girls from age 8 itself :p
Thanu: The fear that your son maybe gay is very real for Indian parents now.
Jiby: Thank you, I still remember your post on life in the US and chuckle at the incidents you have mentioned there :))
Alex: This generation is indeed going to be very different from ours!
bvn: Hilarious! You should read this
post by Jiby in which he narrates a similar hilarious incident!
G: LOL no I don't think so :P
Alex: Do check out the link I have given in my reply to bvn! :)
"Maa: Take a walk dear, and take your GF too with you, there is only space for my BF and me here."
:))
kodu kaiy..!!
I liked the first comment and your reply more than your blog. How true!!!!
they say sexual identity can be multifactorial: genetic, mental, physical, social.. talk about life being complicated!
hahah....i am clutching my sides...laughing is so painful
As always good... i was thinking how my mom would react when she knows i am single... *duh*
yeah my mom ... among her mock anger... drenched in amusement.. she says.. "ishu ... your brother is vexing me.. he's always talking to that girl 'sweet lips'" ... sweet lips is my 15 year old brother's gf's msn id name.. this was when he came home for holidays from his boarding school..un-f-believable! :P
HnL: lol Why should only the new generation only evolve...I would like to think that I will be a very modern and spunky 'ol lady with a BF or two :p
Biju: Your turn is coming soon Biju :))
mind curry: I have heard that too, sounds complicated brrr
abhishek: :p
eclipsed thoughts: I think moms worry more about their sons than daughters these days, what a relief!!! :))
isha reddy: Sweet lips sounds soo cute!!! :)
Gay Indian = Gindian.
Every parents' worst nightmare.
Loved your response to Matthew. More power to parents man.
Thanks girl...Happy Diwali to you.
Oh yeah, weddings like that are the norm in North India...You should read one of Sidin's recent posts about it. Its hilarious. A northie wedding from Southie eyes :)))
At least my folks can be thankful that i am pretty much asexual.
Out of the blue that comment probably sounds weird and strange. Humor me...:)
happy diwali :)

abhilash n: Thank you :)

Very true chief, I have this sexy white suit with grey pinstripes... yesterday I was at a mall in delhi (yup I'm giving India the privilege of having me on her soils for a few months) and picked up a light pink shirt which I though would go well with the white pinstriped suit.. my cousin gives me this wicked look... you dress well, you have manicured nails and are single.. ahem.... Jesus, even I couldnt help but laugh... I actually put the shirt down jus becase of this ...now the onus is on a straight guy to prove that he is straght.. whats the world coming to chief?
Rgds,
J.J
if I tell ya gurl: Thank you dear and viola I have posted !! :)
Pooja: That was brilliant!!!
Jinu: LOL I guess times are hard for the single straight male these days :)
