When I came back early from work, my wife was quite happy to see me. She instantly made pakoras and sweetly asked me, "What will you have — tea or coffee?" I said, "Why don’t you make a nice drink for me with half a glass of water, half soda and little ice on top?" Her niceties suddenly disappeared. She said angrily, "You know that I have always been against men drinking, and today you are asking me — a lady — to pour a drink for you." I told her that the Delhi High Court had declared that women bartenders were to be no longer considered unconstitutional. I advised my wife that now she should do a short course in bartending and learn the art of making cocktails. My wife was furious. She said, "Why don’t you do a short de-addiction course at a naturopathy camp?" My friend Lally, who is
known for never reaching home before 11 p.m., once decided to take his
wife to a late-night party. There he made a large drink for himself and
a small one for his wife. On sipping the drink, she winced at the bitter
taste. She told Lally, "I don’t know how you can drink whisky
every day when it tastes so horrible?" Lally said, "Hor tu
ki sochian? Assi roz aishan karde phirde han"(What did you
think? That we are having a good time daily?) |
