There may be a Gatekeeper and a Keymaker now keeping the illusion of the Sepia Matrix running smoothly, but one vital arbiter is needed in order to keep the bunker’s simians under control: I move to nominate CAD as SM’s Sati.

“Sati is a program, not a human. Wide-eyed and clear-speaking, she represents the future of humanity after Armageddon.”

The parallels are downright uncanny. @=)

Oh..puhleez. raja KO rani! http://www.hindilyrix.com/songs/get_song_Kisi%20Din%20Banoongi%20Main.html

“Raja ko Rani se pyaar ho gaya” – yeh sun lo

Such joot, yaar

jHoot ..not joot ;-)

you stated that you came to the States 5 years ago to do some engineering job. I’m the one who’s 27.

Yes..I came 5 yrs ago..to pursue my Masters..and then Phd. And I’m 27 too.

Now, if you can make any of the above, you’re good to go.

I remember telling you before…I once “burnt” water. Don’t expect me to prepare khaman dhokla.

On a “more” serious note – I can make ‘baigan ka bharta’. shaadi pakki ?

No, no. On the “Raja” soundtrack (remember that filum? So long ago!), she croons, “kisi din banoongi, mein raja KO rani”.

You are indeed mistaken. Looks like you just eye-balled my resume. I’m a 27 yr old graduate student(cheap ass)…trying to wrap up my phd.

How do I know that you are not lying?! I have to constantly reaffirm this, because who knows, maybe you’re marrying me for my money!!

I thought that some khaman dhoklas, khakras, Khandvi and shrikhand would suffice. Damn..how can I forget “Chakli” and “undhiya” ??

Now, if you can make any of the above, you’re good to go. Excellent ratings in my book. Also, if you can make any dishes with baigan in it, that would be great. In contrast to everyone else here on SM, I love baigan.

Chal, have. Avje.

You have the choice between Raj Kapoor’s “Around the World in 8 dollars” or Jackie Chan’s “Around the World in 80 days”. You decide. Sounds like a cheap ass plan.

Around the world in eight dollars? Sheesh, you’re such a Desi.

But wait— I’m the one who’s a Cheap Ass Desi, not you. And if I’m not mistaken, you have money– you’re a software engineer. So–

I want to go around the world in 300 days. You pay.

Also, buy me a beach house both on the Mediterrean Sea and Arabian Sea.
