I was chatting with a friend of mine, and she just mentioned in passing that her parents were boy hunting these days. Now, I have heard some other friends of mine too telling me that their parents were busy doing girl hunting.
'Hunting', the word really stuck me. People run around, they escape, somehow survive, till they are hunted down. And then they get married.
I know Indian Govt has banned Black buck hunting, maybe they should look towards modifying the laws and ban some other kinds of hunting too :D.

Picking up Somu from the Airport
1230 h
It is Saturday and Somu's flight is arriving at 1:30. I wonder who is going to pick him up. Let me call up Naveen. Well Naveen's had a hard day yesterday, spending nearly 5 hours at the Airport . I don't think he would be much up to it today. Going to Miami Airport is really a torture.
I'll ask Kiran to go instead.
Hmm, Don't think he is interested in going, he would prefer to watch a Telgu Movie.
So it is me and Mukund again.
1:30
I call Mukund, he tells me that the flight has landed. We leave for the Airport immediately.
2:15
We reach the Airport. In my opinion, the approach to the Miami airport is the worst among all airports. What a torture. I wait in my car and Mukund goes inside the airport to search for Somu. Somu is nowhere in sight. We start asking the other passengers giving them Somu's description. No luck.
I get driven out the the waiting area, I have to go into the parking lot. I go out of the airport and circle back to the parking lot.
3:45
It is hour and half. We search the airport in and out, called each and everybody, confirmed that he is really coming today ( one cant be too sure ). No luck still.
Both of us are hungry. Neither of us have had lunch and I just remember that i hadn't taken breakfast either.
4:00
Kapil calls. And a surprise, Somu has already reached home. Kapil realized that we must be waiting at the airport and called us. We are lucky, else it would have been a couple of hours more at the airport.
After another disastrous weekend disaster, what now ? Well there is silver lining to every dark cloud. We did what we were planning to do for a long time, had a lunch at Waffle House.
4:45
A three egg omelete with cheese and mushroom, with a plate each of bacon, sausage and ham, it was one of the best lunches that i have had in Florida.
