How uncool am I?!!

## I can stare at the Maharaj's face for 2 hours unblinkingly, while he is sleeping no less.

## I can easily manage 10 photos a day. I can photoshop them into sepia or whatever and send them out to family and friends, almost on a daily basis. And yes, family and friends don't request them any more. But I still send them anyway. We are talking rock bottom of uncoolness barrel here.

## When asked how I'm doing, I have to fight the urge to go into great detail on how he is doing.

## The red tee would go better with my skirt, but I bought the blue. Now we have matching outfits.

O my God. I am going to asphyxiate him with love.

Ok two things can be concluded here (since I didn't get any sepia tones photos of any maharaja whatsoever)

1. I am way too cool.

2. I am not your friend. (which makes me automatically uncool)

Yeah, Dont freak the poor baby by cutting your hair like him..considering we know quite a bit abt your past when you tried to copy Einstien's hair-do to look intelligent.

(sniff)This act of maternal sacrifice brought tears to my eyes. (/sniff) When I become a father (this depends on a long chain of highly improbable events materializing but nevertheless ...) I don't know if I will be able to make such sacrifices. Gabby - I salute you ;-)

rhyncus - the maharaja is forcing my hand...!!

alpha - after the first set of pics you expressed interest for your daughter...the Maharaja would like to see her pictures before proceeding...things should be done the right way , na? :)

patrix - I'm Gabby re...or Gratisgab for the not-so-close...see you're in the super-cool inner circle! :D

Richa - I would avoid me too....just 6 weeks ago. God, what happened?

Anti - Just talking da. After all, lane-dane ki baat to hui nahin ab tak!

Alpha - Well if it goes that way, we will have to rethink the matter...which way would the lane-dane swing then?

Ashwin - The little fellow is enjoying himself no doubt. Ask about me..or actually the next post explains that!
