Conversation-snippets from the Mumbai Blog-A-Ween Meet last night at Sakshi’s house attended by Sakshi (and her three very pretty cousins), Ideasmith, Divya, Melody, Akshay, Manish, Peter, Saket, Amit and Anand.
-*-*-*-
Conversation between G, She1 and She2.
G: (to She1) I cannot believe that I haven’t read your blog! I have read every desi blog ever written!
She2: (to G) But you only read blogs written by hot women!
G: (to She2) Exactly! Which is why I cannot believe that I haven’t read her blog!
She1 giggles prettily. She2 rolls her eyes prettily. G looks like the cat who got the cream.
-*-*-*-
Conversation between G and She3.
She3: Do you dance?
G: Yes, but badly, and only when I’m drunk.
She3: So, we’ll get you drunk tonight and we’ll dance on the tabletops!
G: Do you want me to drive you back, or do you want me to be drunk? Choose now!
She3: We want you to be drunk!
G did get a little drunk (on excellent Jacob’s Creek chardonnay), but didn’t dance. All the tables at Sakshi’s house had glass tops! And, G did drop She3 back!
-*-*-*-
Meme-like conversation.
He1: (to everybody else) So, do you guys do anything else online, apart from blogging? Anything cool?
Silence. (Which is what happens every time I send out one of my memes in the blogosphere. But, I am deviating…)
G: Err… I write e-mails… sometimes…
He1: Oh, yeah!
No more silence.
-*-*-*-
Funniest conversation.
She1: (to everybody else) Give me your URLs! I haven’t read any of your blogs!
He2: (to She1, pointing at the A-listers) All the A-listers are here and you haven’t read any of their blogs?
She1: They are? A-listers? Really?
G: Who invited her here?

Excerpts from other reports on the Blog-A-Ween Meet:
Amit Varma of India Uncut was so relieved at not having to expound on libertarianism in the WSJ that he donned a pair of bunny ears. I assume the lingerie matched.
The über-stylish Gauravonomics wore his tie inside his shirt Don-style.
“Milind Soman kissed me.” This from one of the young ladies present. Further details are not for the family audiences my blog caters to. (Namaste auntyji.)
I’ve done it again. Gone and earned myself another Mandira title. Though this time it’s not because any of them thought I looked like her.
- Melody, the blooper queen who is actually (much) prettier than Mandira
-*-*-*-
The most memorable sentence uttered was “Pran is my landlord”.
-*-*-*-
IdeaSmith with her make-shift devilish horns would have surely won the crown as the ‘Blooper Queen’ of the night but was slightly edged by the sweet Ms. Bunny aka. Melody.
- Sakshi, the hostess with the most(ess) number of Superman t-shirts
-*-*-*-
No you need to put on a pair of red panties over your jeans, then you can be Superman!
You just say, “She’s a bit of a See-Ai-Ech” for “bitch” or “What a parachute!” with a stress on the, well, latter-half of the word.” (And apparently, her grandma taught her this. Ours, obviously went to all the wrong schools.)
- Divya, who was heartbroken that there was no drunken dancing on the tables
-*-*-*-
I was one of the only three people who actually turned up in costume… with charming Melody being the best with her Playboy bunny ears. Gaurav’s spoof of Shah Rukh Khan’s scarrylicious look in Don…I’m not sure if that qualifies as a Halloween costume but what the hell, it was scary on the original so I guess it makes the cut. I wore a pair of laboriously put-together red horns on my trademark evening black.
- Ideasmith, who broke her horns halfway into the evening and wasn’t horny anymore
