People say the weirdest things, don’t they? You walk into a clinic and the receptionist asks, “You here to see the doctor?” Now why would she say that? Why would I go to a clinic at five in the evening if I wanted to see the doctor? I’d walk across to the pub next door. I’m there to see the hot young intern.
“Hungover? Drank too much last night, eh?” How stupid is that? I’m hungover ’cos I didn’t drink enough. If I’d drank too much I’d still be happily drunk, now wouldn’t I?
Oh, and here’s one I got from some random guy on FB. “Hi, I’m interested in secret, safe sex.” Why would he write me that? What does he expect me to say? Well, good for ya. Let me know if you find out what that is? Interested in secret, safe sex, indeed. I’m interested in the toilet habits of ancient Romans but you don’t find me boring strangers with it, do you?
Well, creepy as it is, it is better than people who send you friend requests and won’t add a message. Then, just to be perverse, they won’t even have a photo on their profile. Or have a photo of their kid or the family pet. What do they expect me to do? Dude, your name sounds familiar, and the bulldog look is about right, but I just can’t be sure if you’re the guy who showed me his wee-wee when we were five?
When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.

ROFL!!! I have seend so many females complain of such kind of ‘fraand’ requests of FB and elsewhere. Just wondering if men too face it
So, did you take the hot intern, instead of the doctor, to the pub and boozed till the ‘wee’ hours, and ended up waking with a hangover
LOL…………So are you going to write a post on ancient habits of toiletty Romans?
FYI, the picture on my blog is mine and not our house pet, ‘cos we do not have one.
@Sangfroid, yeesh, the fraand requests! As for the young intern, that’s for me to know:-)
@jayaraman, no, I’m not going to write about ancuent Romans. As I said, I don’t need to bore the world
You find some stranger inviting you for safe secret sex better than someone sending a friend request without a message!! You sure are a variant of Mallika Sherawat.

Hey, hope you are well. I read your blog for the first time 5 days ago. I really like your writing style. I have read most of it now. Waiting for you to write more…
@Hassan, thank you for your comments. Keep visiting as I’ll surely be writing more. But from next week. Totally tied up with editing my book.
@Ram, Thanks, I think:-) Aur waise bhi wo aur kar bhi kya sakte hain?
@Paritosh, yeah. At least with the creeps I know what their agenda is.
