What a tight spot!

  1. Tell your foreign photographer friend about an Indian festival and call him/her over for it. As they plan in advance, tell them a rough date to book and when they have done so, tell them 15 days before travel that the festival is already on and they missed it.
  2. Open the door to see a man with a polythene bag and tell him ‘Sorry, we don’t give alms’ and discover he is courier delivery boy.
  3. Give the maid few pieces of marinated fish and she discovers that they are pieces of jaggery you put in the deep freeze long ago.
  4. Take some friends to distant national park of which you have read about and find that the park is closed for the mating season.
  5. Tell a joke about squint eyes to a girl in goggles and discover….
  6. Hearing your cousin from Hyderabad speak, say “What a difficult language Telugu is!” And he tells you that they just spoke English.
  7. Tell a neighbour, just to make them happy that you love their regional cooking and be invited over for a meal where you can’t eat a morsel.
  8. Have a tenant who has a dog named after your nick name. Each time he calls out, both man and animal show up.
  9. Draped in saree, you discover half way into the party that the most important pin has slipped off and the saree is giving away and that chattering aunt doesn’t let you go and introduces to all Tom, Dick and Harry(groom hopefuls)
  10. Visit a relative and tell them your kid doesn’t like bananas and the two year old has at least three.

  19. The last one is so true. My daughters do it all the time. And I cringe and promise to get back at them. Which of course never happens. Sigh, motherhood is tough.

  21. "Have a tenant who has a girl named same as yours." :(

  22. Advantage: You can gatecrash to meet the girl any time
    Disadvantage: If the girl is a little one, she will at your place all the time

  23. hilarious!

    once i asked my lil cousin not to hog like a pig just before we entered a relative's house. When the aunt there offered this brat a glass of juice, he says, "no no... i will not have anything from here, otherwise sister will scold me after leaving from here"

    Imagine my embarrassment!
