We Often Do Right things For the Wrong Reasons?

Rohan: Don’t you think that people get married for all the wrong reasons?

Isha: What do you mean?

Rohan: Everyone either gets married for money, to settle down, to have children, to have companionship on a daily basis, but no one gets married for love.

Isha: Everyone wants different things in life right?

Rohan: Yes but isn’t it wrong?

Isha: Who are we to judge?

Rohan: So you don’t think love is important?

Isha: I never said that. I’m just saying that we should….wait a minute, why is this bothering you so much?

Rohan: It’s not bothering me really I mean its just an open ended discussion! Chill!

Isha: It’s not!! I know!

Rohan: No. I’m just generally wondering…

Isha: No you’re not. You are worried about people not being in love.

Rohan: Now you’re going to tell me what I’m wondering and what I’m not? You are such a control freak. Why can’t you just let thing be the way they are?  Why do you have this urge to control everything?

Isha: Don’t change the topic. Just admit it that you are an emotional, sentimental guy. You are na? Why do you have to pretend?

Rohan: Whateverrrr. Think what you like. Anyway I gotta rush. Already late. Cya

Isha: Where you going?

Rohan: Got a date. Like Black Eyed Peas say ‘Tonight going to be a good good night’.

Isha: hmmm enjoyyyyyyyy! Hehe! Cya  and don’t worry no one is going to discover that you are a sweet, emotional guy!

Rohan: yeah yeah! Whatever!

Do Men ‘Think’? Asks Isha

Rohan: you should stop thinking that all people in the world are nice and sweet, who dream of rainforests, animal right and world peace.

Isha: OMG! Startling revelations I must say..

Rohan: It’s not just about him…you don’t see reality for what it is.

Isha: hmmm can you elaborate?

Rohan: well... It’s not about Mr. 4 feet, eleven and a half inches. Don’t you think you trust too easily? That you are willing to believe the good in everyone and only that?

Isha: What wrong in trying to see the good side of everyone and everything?

Rohan: A lot but mostly that you’ll end up feeling hurt all the time because everyone will keep disappointing you. You’ll expect them to be these great souls who will do great things but in the end you’ll end up with mere humans who are greedy and stupid and hollow.

Isha: I’d rather be hurt than be cynical like you.

Rohan: Cynical? I see the world for what it is. I see people for who they are. That’s being grounded to reality and not being cynical.

Isha: Reality? That’s a joke. The world isn’t the way you see it.

Rohan: Yes of course it’s not. I mean wars just help us get closer. Riots just make us feel more alive. Massacres are a great population control tool. Everything is in such balance in this world.

Isha: Sarcasm is at its peak!

Rohan: now that’s how some people understand... Don’t they?

Isha:  I’m not saying everything is right with the world. But it’s not the way you feel it is either. It’s not this dark place where everyone is only looking out for themselves. Not everyone is governed by their own selfish motives all the time.

Rohan: You’re impossible lady!!

Isha: Fine.

Rohan: Can’t you at least say thanks?

Isha: For what?

Rohan: I’m looking out for you.

Isha: Didn’t ask you to. Don’t want you to either.

Rohan: Wow someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed today. Why are you this angry aggressive person suddenly?

Isha: Let’s get back to work baby…let’s just work for a change!

Rohan: oh! Alas some people never learn… you just missed the chance sweetie:-P

Isha: yeah yeah! Whatever!

Rohan & Isha’s Verbal Wrestle!

Isha: Why are you staring?

Rohan: I’m not staring.

Isha: then are you trying to hypnotize someone?

Rohan: No I was not. Why do you have such an active imagination?

Isha: some people are just not mediocre

Rohan: I know what staring means Miss. Isha Mirchandani. And no I don’t plan on making it a habit and I WAS NOT STARING. I might have been looking in your direction but I wasn’t focused on you. I was thinking.

Isha: You were what? ( looks as if she didn’t hear)

Rohan: I was thinking

Isha: You were WHAT?

Rohan: I SAID I WAS THINKINGGGG!!!

Isha: Why are you screaming? I can hear you. I heard you the first time around but just didn’t think it was possible for you to actually think. That’s an activity that requires a functioning brain.

Rohan: Ha Ha …very funny. You and your lame reasons.

Huzefa Gets Fired?

Rohan : I’m thinking I should tell Huzefa I’m firing him…just to scare him, you know.

Isha : WHATTTT? Why?

Rohan : Don’t you think he’s a little too much into his work? I mean for employee of the week, the prize he gave out was a Xerox machine

Isha : Rohan if everyone in this office worked like you did, we’d probably have become bankrupt long ago…

Rohan : So you’re saying I shouldn’t fire Huzefa….?? Wait what do you mean by if everyone worked like I did? Madam I’m a very successful match maker. I have matched up as many people as you have.

Isha : Really? You really think so?

Rohan: Think so…????? I know so.

Isha : Well maybe we should count. Probably will take a little while to get the right numbers but then at least we will have specific data points as to how many cases you have closed. We’ll also know whether you’re better than me at this.

Rohan : Oh come on…you don’t actually want to sit and count. It will take so long.

Isha : Well actually I do have a light workload today. Could spare a couple of hours for this.

Rohan : Whatttttt…are you crazy? You want to spend a couple of hours trying to prove what is already true? That just crazy.

Isha : Ya I know…but well I am crazy so shouldn’t I do crazy things?

Rohan : *ahem* well this is highly unprofessional of you. You should be spending your time doing valuable work, not work that is unnecessary.

Isha : I thought you were against people working too much. What happened to that philosophy?

Rohan : When did I said that?

Isha : Like 5 minutes ago when you were talking about firing Huzefa.

Rohan : Oh right! Obviously not going to threaten to fire him. Work is good. Work is worship.

Isha : Yup. Let’s see how much worshipping you do here.

Rohan : Oh come on Isha, you don’t have to sit and go through all our cases.

Isha : But why not? It might bring up such great memories. Plus we might get new ideas on certain things, look at how we succeeded, where we failed, etc. And most importantly we get to know how many people you got married.

Rohan : FINE…You have closed more cases than I have…..HAPPY?

Isha : Happy? Why would I be happy? I mean yeah sometimes it’s good to hear the truth but in this case the truth is very obvious and doesn’t need any repeating.

Rohan : Fine you watch. This year I’ll be a better match maker than you.

Isha : Hmmmm we’ll see.

Rohan : What do you mean by we’ll see…hey don’t walk away…where you going? This conversation isn’t over Isha…come back…fine go. I don’t care.

Why Can’t Woman Handle the Truth Sportingly?

People lack the right perspective in life. I mean you live once, you might as well enjoy it right? I don’t understand guys like Mohit – they keep trying to become someone they are not especially because they think other people expect them to be different.

If people can’t accept you for who you are, they aren’t people you should want in your life. They bring the unnecessary stress of change. And that leads to unhappiness. You’d rather be alone, than be around people who don’t want the real you around.

Especially when it comes to the woman in your life. If she can’t handle the truth that you’d rather watch a cricket match than go out to dinner with her, she’s obviously not right for you. But women are generally confusing creatures. She wouldn’t leave her saas-bahu rona-dhona serial to have dinner with you, would she? Well actually she might because she’ll watch the repeat the next afternoon. But you get the drift. Why should men give up so many things and live a life of such restriction. I mean isn’t committing to just one woman a big enough gesture in itself?

Anywayyy you’ll never find me changing myself; just to get someone to love me more. I love who I am and how I am and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

Boys will Be Boys! Rohan on a Drinking Spree!

Gaurav was in town recently. Glad he decided to visit and also let us help him find a suitable match. Can’t believe he is finally looking to settle down.

Also can’t believe he and Rohan had a beer drinking competition. Boys will be boys I guess. They were sooooo competitive back in college. I guess both wanted the same thing – to be the center of attention – especially if there were girls around.

This competitive business is a total a waste of time if you ask me. What satisfaction can anyone get by knowing they can drink more beer than someone else? It’s just an ego boost that people look for. I mean I do take up challenges with Rohan if I have to but those are always work related and at least they bring in a little additional efficiency, on Rohan’s part. It’s not really a competition to beat each other either but rather just to match people better.

Well okay IT IS a little bit of an ego boost. But I believe you must always compete with yourself, to be better than you are. Your goal shouldn’t be to make someone lose but to better yourself so that you are setting new benchmarks for yourself.

Actually come to think of it, I don’t think Rohan wins too many competitions. The last few challenges we have had between ourselves, I seem to have won them hands down. Hmmm he’s probably not even realizing that I am beating him because I don’t bring it up. I think I will soon….you know so that he can ‘up his game’ and work a little better.

Is second Marriage such a bad option? (Isha & Rohan’s debate continues)

Isha : Why do people look to get married after they have got old

Rohan : Age is just a silly number Isha

Isha : Oh come on Rohan get serious for once

Rohan : If I haven’t managed to in more than 25 years how can I manage to get serious now?

Isha : You’re unbearableeeeee

Rohan : Okay relax relax – what’s the problem?

Isha : There’s no problem and if there was a problem I can sort it on my own. I don’t need your help

Rohan : Wow someone woke up from the wrong side of the bed. Stop being so uptight all the time. Now what’s the problem?

Isha : There is no problem. I was just wondering why people who have crossed their prime would want to get married in old age.

Rohan : Shouldn’t everyone have the opportunity to find a life partner in their life?

Isha : Well I meant second marriage. Why should someone who has already met the love of their life and spent a good long lifetime with their partner, look to find someone else.

Rohan : Second marriage? Isn’t that illegal?

Isha : Rohan you’re so silly. I meant after the first marriage is over.

Rohan : Ohhh like a divorce or death of partner? What’s wrong with people wanting to have someone to share their life with? How does young or old matter? At the end of the day, everyone just wants to be happy. And if happiness lies in sharing your life with someone then what’s the problem in getting married a second time?

Isha : Nevermind, I’m not going to get convinced with anything you have to say.

Rohan : Arre where are you going? Why do you think I can’t convince you? Are you even listen to me? Okay I’ll start following you…wait for me…
