Meetings

1.
Looks ok. Average height. Oh, didn't notice the heels. Short. Fair.
'Should we order? What would you like to have? Coffee? Something to eat? I just had lunch, so I'll just have a coffee. That's ok with you, right?'
Talkative.
'Yeah, fine'
'I speak too fast no? I know I have that habit. What to do? You have a problem? You aren't saying anything?'
'No, no issues. So this your first meeting?'
'No, I met some guy last month. It was so weird...'
No, dude, don't switch off now, stay awake, hello? Gone. I regain consciousness but story is over by then
'So he didn't call. Why's this coffee taking so long? What about you? First meeting? What do you do by the way? I didn't ask. Sorry. Should have. So you live around here? You are silent. Did I say something wrong?'
Ears objecting to too many words going in. Time to pull out.
'Yeah, nearby. I had to be close to the hospital. Things have been quite bad after the syphilis diagnosis'
'Oh ok so my favourite is hazelnu...what diagnosis?'

2.
Looks decent. Shortlisting process is working well. Mandatory enquiries and pleasantries.
'I don't watch movies at all. I don't like movies. I think they are a waste of time'
Not good. More conversation.
'I read only non-fiction and management books'
Do I look like I want robots for kids? More inane small talk.
'Haaaan I think so that is correct'
Bad grammar also. Launch time.
'There's something I have to tell you. You will be a bit shocked but I hope it won't affect, you know, whatever we have...er. We were also shocked. I first thought it was just Madras Eye...'

Kakhi dumps second husband, readies for Season-2

In a press conference today, reality show diva Kakhi Jawant publicly dumped her second husband, Abhishek, citing personal reasons. Abhishek, who tied for first place in Season-1 of 'Kakhi ka Swayamvar' last year, is planning to sue the TV channel for divorce, sources say. Readers will remember that Kakhi had separated from Sanjay, the other winner/husband earlier this year. After last season's finale which saw Kakhi gushing 'I love you both. It's a tie' followed by a 3-way marriage amidst much fanfare, things did not quite go as planned in the Kakhi household. 'Every fight can't be settled with a dance-off' Kakhi had once told a journalist late last year.
Trade analysts feel this is just Kakhi's preparation for Season-2 of 'Kakhi ka Swayamvar' which will be a more socially acceptable show if she is single again.
Police meanwhile arrested 17 attendees of Kakhi's press conference for wearing a third chappal with malicious intent.
