The first guy i met in the whole AM (Arranged marriage) business was a Golti boy (telugu speaking people) and why because my dad has golti roots (dear lord)! A lil background about Golti boys, they basically have one of the below three ambitions in life:
- One is to be a software engineer and work in the US!
- Two is to star in a golti movie (with the all works, by which i mean dancing around the trees, fighting 10 men at a time with loud POW WOWs.. get the drift).
- Three is both One & Two above.
Coming back with the idea of having a dialogue box in real life! Let me paint you a lil picture here!
Scenario A
Golti boy 1 (with yankee twang): I have a lot of girlfriends! I mean girls who are friends..
Me: Nice!
Dialogue Box: Right! So if you have a lot of girlfriends? how is that you are going in for an arranged marriage? or are you a reject for all these girls? Loser!
Scenario B
Golti boy 1 (with yankee twang): I love Italian (with more pronounced yankee twang) food!!
Me: Hmmm..
Dialogue Box: Reallly.. now now, which part of AP are you from? I am sure you grew eating curd rice and pickle, maybe a papad on those special days! Italian food my a***
Scenario C
Golti boy 1 (with yankee twang): I expect honesty! (statement dude)
Me: Me too!
Dialogue Box: Why cant you just ask me if i had a boyfriend? I can acknowledge my past relationship!
Scenario D
The phone line gets cut after 30 minutes of the conversation, Golti boy 1 calls back..
Golti boy 1 (with mushy yankee twang): I was standing near the window and thinking about our conversation..
Me: Huh.. duh...
Dialogue Box: Ha Ha.. dude you got to be kidding me! Is this your hidden ambition no. 2 beckoning?? lights, camera and ACTION, you are the star in the movie.. Look through the window like you are gazing far into the future...with the breeze, you hair flying... (guffaww).. ok! i get the picture!
Scenario E
Golti boy 1 (with yankee twang): Yawwwnnn... I have to go now! Ill speak to you later!
Me: Bye
Dialogue Box: Its a pity you cannot see which of fingers is up! Lets take a guess here buddy boy!! (you don't yawn like i bore you, jacka***)
Now this is really a preview! Its a good thing that we do not have the dialogue box option in real life:)
Me: Until then! Ciao!
Dialogue Box: There is show that i want to watch on tv now!
