A friend indeed

I cant quite place this in order of friendship. So I'll be random.

Think of a bunch of foreign guys whom you're assigned to be in a group discussion. Rule: there won't be one single person who's talking at one point of time. Its a simultaneous process involving multiple persons. They're very much into talking.

#1: where did you meet him?
me: we went to the same schoo-
#2: when are you gonna marry him?
me: Waai..wha-?
#3(wisely): You know.. "there's always love in friendship"
*this is accompanied by a general nod of agreement from all of them*
me: Uhh..listen
#4: You know like the movie-
me: umm..
#5(triumphantly): Kuch Kuch Hota Hai!!
#3: Yes, I saw that 5 times!
Emphasises its importance by showing all five his fingers to me in a to and fro motion.
#2: Ahh..yes. And starts laughing with #1 and #3.
#4: I had this story once...
me: yeah?
And proceeds to tell me his story which kinda ends on a sad note.
#6 who was listening to all the conversation added wisely: you know, you should tell him.
me (thoroughly amused): so, you guys are saying if I don't make a move now, I'll regret it and have an ache over here? *pressing my hand on my heart imitating #4's previous gesture*
They all nod solemnly.
THE JUNIOR GUY (who was editing our group work on the computer): Hey! Who's marrying whom?
Everyone: You, back to the computer!
The best part? I love all these guys now. Its like small bundles of Joy. I especially loved their synchronized laughing. And they even showed me pictures of their country as well as the sad heroine of #4's life.

Your best friend comes to stay with you when she's on vacation. You take her out to a zoological park. You are having a good time looking at jaguars and making albino jokes at white tigers. Those harmless, non-offensive ones. There's a quiet drizzle that paints the environment in natural colors. Then it changed. It was raining harder, and we kept walking. We were soaked to our bones sooner than we thought.

Me: Hey, maybe we should find a shade?

My evil best friend: No, lets just get back to our bus. Oh and by the way, you're flashing.

My clothes had decided it was a good idea to go transparent on me, without giving me a hint! Well, with that golden line, she gets the best friend of the month award.

And my roommate. My walking to-do list. She'll remind me of my assignment, notes, and urges me to do readings and pretend she doesn't care if I don't. So there was this presentation I was supposed to do in class. I ended up not preparing and calling up my professor at 4:04.

Sir,we have a compulsory medical insurance orientation today. (which was true) I don't think half the class will be coming.

They have. I'm in class already. Come and do your presentation

Ouch.
I didn't even say my name. He knew.
I ran back to my room instead, got my sleeping roommate's old notebook and read out her notes. If she hadn't studied the same thing previous year, I would have been truly screwed.
Aarthi, thank you. Although I did screw my group members by convincing them there wont be a class. And they took my word for it. My apologies.

And this online site missed me when I wasn't around:

Just so you know, the roommate I talked about? She goes to bed clutching a knife because she can. Sweet dreams, love!

That awkward moment when...

Show me someone who isn't one bit annoyed with a sentence that starts like that. You see that everywhere. Like discarded toenails. Well, now that you're here reading this, you might as well check out my toenail clippings too. Ha! Didn't see that coming, huh? Or did you?
Well anyway, here's a list of my authentic you-know-what-moments, which you won't be reading if you had something better to do

WINNER: a confused cow decides to chew iron rods and camouflage against your car when you're taking driving classes.

RUNNER-UP: your gran asks, "What is malala?" and you boldly guesses its a new variant of Coconut. [She could've used a different pronoun. Or maybe it was a trick question].

you end up in a tug-of-war with a local monkey over a fruit juice in a tourist spot. You won't let go because you're too broke to buy another one. Meanwhile, amused tourists around you take pictures of your predicament

your grandma overfeeds you because she believes you have an adult stage dwarfism which is medically undiagnosable.

you go for a sleepover at your friend's place and you wake up to see a stray dog sleeping between you and your friend.

a horror movie that has a scene like this -

you meet an old (really skinny)friend after a long time, and hug them against their protests.

Because its a Sunday, I'm willing to give more of free hugs. Embrace the horror!
