Conversations: The Real Meaning

So every once in a while, my husband likes to surf youtube for snippets from the ultimate Bollywood hit of the 70s, Sholay. He does have it on DVD but youtube must be more convenient since the DVD only seems to be gathering dust. Hmmph! Anyway, he knows the dialogs backwards and can recite them in his sleep, if he has to.

A few days ago, he felt the need to go down memory lane and watch Helen shake her stuff to the most famous song of all times:



Medha watched in stunned silence. Once the song was over and she had regained her composure, she asked her father: Daddy, now tell me the real meaning of Mehbooba.

Bee's Cooking and Chromosomes and Anita's reply reminded me of a much repeated exchange whenever we are going out to shop for essentials.

He: Why do I always have to drive?
Me: Why do I always have to cook?
He: You drive today.
Me: OK but then you cook today.
Medha: Daddy! Please! Please drive!

How many bhendi do you want? Is 10 enough?
Bhendi? Or green chillies?
1...2...3...I think I have picked up less than 10. How many do you want?
Bhendi? B-H-E-N-D-I?
Yes. Is 10 enough?

When I recover from this, I will post again.

Don't get me wrong. I am eternally grateful that he does the grocery. For now though, I need to go lie down.
