Her: What is the one thing you want most in the world?
Me: What?
Her: Lets say a genie pops up in front of you and is ready to grant you a wish what would you wish for?
Me: What is all this about?
Her: Ok, forget the genie… Lets just say that can wish for one thing right now, what would you wish for?
Conversations with her
About Chivalry…
Me: Do you think chivalry has become rare?
Her: Well… Chivalrous men are an endangered species… probably extinct. But why that question all of a sudden?
Me: I just wanted to know what you thought… (taking a sip of my coffee) So, What is it that you expect ‘men’ to do?
Her: You know, hold the door open for a woman, offer her a seat… treat her like a lady! I dont think its that hard, but men off late barely care. I have seen more than my fair share of rudeness from the opposite sex. What is it so much trouble to be a little nice?
Compliments…
Me: I cant believe you couldn’t wait for 15 min…
Her: I had to leave, I would have stayed if I could… Besides I watched the play didn’t I.
Me: How do I know if you did? You weren’t there at the end…
Her: (Raising her eyebrows) So now I have to prove that I was there…
Me: So what did you think of it?
Her: Pretty good stuff. I liked your co actors they were real good…
Me: Yep they is pretty talented actors.
Her: I read the original story from which the play was adapted… Pretty good stuff… Both the original and the adaptation
(I just smiled back at her)
Her: Now don’t fish for compliments… you know you were good.
Me: Well me and compliments have a very weird relationship.
Romantic Stories…
She was nibbling at her Blueberry muffin and all of a sudden said “I have been thinking of this theory”
The expression my face must have been pretty good, coz she looked at it only for a second before staring at beautiful weather outside… She continued “About how the favorite romantic movies of people can tell you about how they fantasize on meeting the person they will fall in love with.”
Me: I see (took a moment to put this perfectly) Let me guess something like a person who loves ‘Sleepless in Seattle’, stays up all night listening to radio waiting for that kid trying to get his dad a date to come on air… hmmm
Her: Ok, if you are doing that we will talk about something else… What do you want to talk about (sarcastically) Cricket?
Me: (chuckling to myself) Come on I was just kidding. Go ahead tell me about your theory…
Tables…
Her: Hey thanks for recommending “Before Sunrise”
Me: You liked it?
Her: Loved it was more like it. The way the movie was made, the conversations… quiet engaging
Me: Yeah, i really like the philosophical undertone and the subtle romance.
Her: Yep, some of the conversations were pretty flawed though…
Me: Flawed? Which one specifically?
