Remember 'A',
my dear Delhi friend...
Well, he wanted to go to USA.
At any cost.
I was staying in his barsati near Delhi's border. It was cold winter day when he informs me he is getting married.
To this US girl (ABCD). Congrats bro I said.
Two days later, he says, small problem...
What...
The girl is a hunch back...
I keep a straight face. He then shows me this awkwardly big E ring. Sent from there.
The marriage was a fortnight away on 26th Jan. So preparations begin albeit on a low key.
Two days later, he says, girls is coming alone from the US, no parents, on 25th Jan.
Two further days later, he says, small problem. The girl is having second thoughts about all this.
From here on things move fast. And 26th came and went with no marriage.
Some months later, 'A' got married to girl from here.
And his US dream did come true. Riding the Y2K-bug gravy train he reached there.
