@Chip - I knew you would understand :P :P

And yeah terrors are good but dealing with one 24x7 can get to be too much after a while :P :P

[Shilpa]

I'm sure my mom will agree with you on that one.. as just when I was slowly getting on track my brother was born and she had to deal with it all over again, this time with a son!!! :P :P

[Srividya]

I can imagine your mother's plight and honestly empathise with her on that!!! I used to be a terror myself but having a terror now, who is ten times worse, truly makes me realise just how patient my mom was and still is!! :) :)

[Shilpa]

Terror breeds terror! :P :P

*apologises for the pj* :P

[Srividya]

Hahahahahaha. true that :P :P

And don't worry, we as a group specialise in PJs, after all our Mighty Mod is the King of PJs himself :P :P

[Shilpa]

haha.. :D

I think I'm finally gonna have a great day tomorrow!
Going Clothes shopping and then book shopping! :D

p.s. I have 10 unread books on my table that I bought in the past few months + 4 books I recieved as rakhi gifts! :P

[Srividya]

That's wonderful :D :D I love shopping, especially for clothes and books :) :)

And don't worry about unread books.. Its always nice to let that library grow.. and you will get to it ultimately :) :)

[Shilpa]

Me too..:D
I have had my eyes on The Hunger Games for a long time now.. I think it's finally gonna be mine tomorrow! *grins*

[Srividya]

That's lovely :D :D :D I have that series with me.. yet to read it though!!

[Shilpa]

The looks my parents give me for piling up unread books and still buying more..!! Scary! But sometimes we need to brave the odds..right? :P

[Jarvis]

Anyone here?

[Srividya]

Absolutely Chip... Luckily for me, I don't have that problem anymore, although space is a constraint these days :) :)

Hey Deej.. am here but will be going for dinner now.. What about you? Had dinner?

[Jarvis]

Oh... I will wait in the room then :) no, didn't .... later may be :)

[Jarvis]

Sri... now I am going for dinner :)

[Srividya]

Oops.. just came back after having mine! :)

Enjoy yours Deej :)

[Sumit]

*burps after having had dinner*

[Shinjini]

*whacks the Caveman for forgetting all his manners*

[Srividya]

Hey Sumit.. had a good dinner? :)

[Sumit]

*hides in his digital cave after being whacked and burps again as a 'yes' to Sri's question*

[Srividya]

*tells Jins that in some societies if the guest doesn't burp after dinner, it is considered an insult* Therefore don't whack him.. he is simply following traditions :P :)

[Sumit]

*nods sagely at Sri's point and casts a deeply hurt look at Jins*

[Shinjini]

What society is that? :O :O

*shrugs at Sumit's look*

[Srividya]

I don't remember which one exactly but remember this as Subodh was asked to burp after eating food with them, else they would have considered it an insult!! It really happened!! :D

[Shinjini]

Hahahahahahahahaha!! This sounds really preposterous. But I understand traditions, so I respect that. Okay Caveman, you're forgiven. *hands a chocolate to the Digital Caveman*

[Srividya]

Arre one day I will share some of these bizarre experiences that Subodh has been through - they are really funny :) :)

[Shinjini]

I'll be waiting. They do sound fun. :D

What you up to? Monday tomorrow. :( :(

[Sumit]

Another funny tradition is in China - you are not supposed to empty your plate at the end of the meal. If you leave no food on your plate, you're disrespecting the host by saying that you haven't been fed adequately.

Therefore, you should leave at least a few morsels of food on the plate.

[Srividya]

@Jins - trying to read but failing.. so might go off to bed early!! And yeah Monday tomorrow :(

@Sumit - yeah I know of that one.. it is hilarious!!

[Shinjini]

And leaving food on the plate is an insult in India! Ha! I love these traditions in different places. :D

[Shinjini]

Go to bed, missy! *stern face*

College again tomorrow. Humph! :'(

[Srividya]

Yeah.. small things and such differences. It is very funny actually and often when you forget, you are termed insensitive. Of course with foreigners its okay..

[Sumit]

NOOOOO! Don't go to bed, please!

It's rare for two of my fav people to be around here at the same time. Stay, please :|

*gets on his knees and grovels*

[Srividya]

Hmm... not so soon Jins.. might stay awake a little longer!

[Srividya]

Arre oh caveman... am not going anywhere :) :)

*smiles broadly at being called one of his fav people*

[Shinjini]

Awww, Sumit. You always feed my ever-growing ego. ^_^ :P

[Sumit]

*sighs with relief and looks around for other fav people as well*

*uses drumrolls, Paradise biryani packets, and books as gifts to lure them*

One bribe to rule them all,
one bribe to find them,
one bribe to bring them all,
and in the chat room bind them!

(with due apologies to JRR TOlkien)

[Srividya]

@Sumit - I don't mind that you have other favourites.. but please ensure that I am at the TOP!!! Else all EVIl will prevail in this kingdom *off with his head* *cackles evilly*

[Sumit]

Shin, seriously. I'm not on GR because of books. There are enough books and more in the non-virtual world. It's the people who keep me around.

After the Golden Boot incident, I contemplated deleting my account. But, some 4-5 folks here kept that from happening.

Thanks for being one of 'em. :)

[Shinjini]

Sri, you can't force him to do that! :|

Sri, if we line up all my favs in a queue, you'll be at the front for sure!

*thinks of mentioning that the queue is height-wise, but stops*

[Srividya]

@Jins.. I don't have to force him.. I know I AM :D :D :D

[Sumit]

*smiles sadly at Sri's potentially explosive reaction to the joke and says,"off with my head"*

S..."

HMPF.... But I shall forgive you for you know not what you sayeth.. I know your true feelings and I understand that you can't openly show them in this world for fear of being called various names... So I accept :D :D

Okay, do you want me to ROFC all over the place now? Because that is probably going to happen right at this moment. And it shall be a lot of work for you and Sri. :P

Jokes apart, you know what I feel about you. So I had to be there.

Okay now say something nice to Sri as well. She's probably raging now. :P

[Shinjini]

Shortest first? :P :P

*stands before Sri and puts on a brave face*

[Srividya]

@Jins - thank you so much for your support.. but surely you know that the truly vain don't need much in terms of external gratification but find it right within :D :D :P :P

[Shinjini]

Oh god. Not that again. *frowns*

Enough vanity now. :|

[Srividya]

@Jins - I have to do justice to my pic now don't I?? Am just trying to get into the character :P :P

[Shinjini]

Oh should I do that too, mother?

[Sumit]

Sri, you look taller in your picture. ;)

Shin, didn't mean to make you ROFC at all. But, one of my favourite maxims is, "Words are never enough. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't say them."
