When something transpires...

It is no secret that Twigrl is our favourite commenter. By our, I mean Aran's and mine. We find her not only adorable, but her idealism is quite endearing too. So, when Twigrl leaves a comment on my previous post it had to spur me on to write sooner rather than later. Not only because not writing would be highly disapproved of by Twigrl but also because not doing so would invite the ire of Aran, who I have grown quite fond of in the last two years.
This fine evening, and yes the evening was very fine despite the summer being a bitch this year the same way it has been a bitch each year prior to the year when we say in the months of winter that summer last season was a bitch, Aran and I decided to meet up over a cup of coffee. We do this once every one hundred and fifty six years, just as a reminder that there is flesh and blood too behind our virtual selves.
We were at what used to be my favourite coffee place till a couple of years ago, that is before everyone in Hyderabad wanted to be in it every Sunday afternoon thereby depriving me of my much needed scrabble time. What transpired there, though, might get the place back on my radar of favourite watering holes. Oh, no. Lest you all should start thinking of a HEA kind of a scenario between Aran and I, nothing of that sort transpired between us.
The transpiration in question concerns two women who decide to use the unisex loo of the place at the same time. This loo is only meant to be used by one person at a time. Now I am not one to jump to conclusions, and it is perfectly fine for two people to want to use the loo at the same time in moments of desperation. But when the duration of the use exceeds fifteen minutes, then it does not take rocket science to draw conclusions. More so, if you happen to be a hormonally active heterosexual male. Such things come easily to this kind.
And, puhlease! I am not going to rat on about the kind of images that my mind conjured up. That would be sickening. Why? 'Cause imagination is not dead, damnit!
I am publishing this post without the express written consent of Aran. I also realise that Twigrl may not be very approving of this post. But I thought for the benefit of the other blog reading junta (read hormonally active heterosexual males), incidents like these must never be kept under wraps.

and yet you are gloomy... alas! if two women together can't change that face what will? three??? ;)
7 May 2006, 11:13pm
Perhaps one particular woman ;).

I've had a total rethink about what's important to me in life, Scripto. One should have such a thoughts once in a while, and today's meeting promted mine, kind of. And as a result of the deep thinking, I have to tell you this - when we meet the next time, whatever happens, I'm going to have coffee.
8 May 2006, 10:44am
My dear Aran, I am glad that you had a total rethink. We should all do this every once in a while - shake the very foundations of our beliefs.
But I do want to peep into that mind of yours to know what those thoughts that were prompted could be. And I am willing to have coffee with you again before the hundred and fifty six years are out to find out.
8 May 2006, 8:54pm
Yes, we would all love to take a peak into Aran's mind and see what is going on in there.
8 May 2006, 9:23pm
Now that's really flattering, Scripto. But it's easy. It was raspberry tea. Only in retrospect did I realise that we only live once, and we only meet once in a hundred and fifty-six years, and so, when we do, it should be coffee.
drkside, you do get occassional peeks. :)
8 May 2006, 10:22pm
Aran, I have said it before and I will say it again. You have this great knack for making a mountain where there should not even be a mole hill. That is some skill you have. Hone!
However when it concerns playing with the feelings and emotions and hopes of hormonally active heterosexual males, it is a strict no no. It is just not done.
And drksideofthemoon, exactly what does she let you have a peek at?
8 May 2006, 10:28pm
Whose emotions, feelings or hopes did I play with?
8 May 2006, 10:31pm
All the hormonally active heterosxual males'. Your first comment on this post was highly misleading and would have been construed to mean only one thing when you mentioned all the thought prompting that went on. Tsk tsk.
8 May 2006, 10:33pm
But I cleared up everything in the first comment itself. You read much more into it than what was written. Maybe you need a rethink too. Tsk yourself. :D
8 May 2006, 10:51pm
What Aran shown me? That is hard to put into words, she has shown me things that I never knew existed. And the proper use of Smiley's and ellipsises.
9 May 2006, 10:22am
Aran, you wish! Nothing was cleared up in the first comment. Let me put it this way. What would the words 'Ebony and Ivory' remind you of? The song, right? Ask any HAHM, and you will get a wide range of answers. Similarly, having coffee can mean a lot of things.
Ah yes. drksideofthemoon, Aran does have this pet peeve against those who cannot use ellipses right. Lucky for you that you were willing to learn.
9 May 2006, 5:02pm
Oh really? I didn't know having coffee could mean more than... well, having coffee. So please enlighten me as to the other meanings.
ps. What is HAHM?
9 May 2006, 11:16pm
Not here, Aran. Not here. I might make a post about it someday. But not here in the comments section. Don't ask me why. I will not be able to answer it satisfactorily.
PS: You are kidding, right? HAHM = Hormonally Active Heterosexual Male.
9 May 2006, 11:18pm
Yay! I am done with my finals.:D Are you serious you and Aran are not going out? somehow something lead to believe otherwise.
9 May 2006, 11:28pm
Hey Twigrl! Good to have you back. I would have posted a smiley but I have my gloom stamp to live up to.
But, really. What made you believe we were seeing each other? I am sure once in a hundred and fifty six years surely does not count.
9 May 2006, 11:48pm
I don't know, I thought you both clicked more than just friends...
10 May 2006, 1:50pm
Scripto, you did that not answering my questions thing again. *sigh*
ps. What is HEA?
Twigrl, that's... interesting. :|
10 May 2006, 2:58pm
Aran, I thought we had been over this thing that I keep doing it.
PS: Again :-o! HEA = Happily Ever After.
PPS: Really, what took you this long to ask?
10 May 2006, 3:04pm
Well, I keep doing it in the hope that you'll mend your ways.
ps. Thank you.
pps. I was a bit distracted by other things, as you can see.
10 May 2006, 3:12pm
Mend my ways? My ways need mending! I thought you liked me for what I was. Now you want me to change? Why do all women do that? :(
10 May 2006, 3:18pm
I like you for what you are, but that doesn't mean I won't like you better for what you will be when we're done mending your ways. ;)
And I take offence. I'm not in the same group as 'all women'. You, of all people should know. :(
10 May 2006, 5:58pm
Aran, I don't know why you take offence because as far as this particular incident goes you did what becomes of a woman. And what is so offensive about being a woman?
10 May 2006, 7:05pm
Being lumped into a group because of one characteristic that shows up once in a while is offensive, especially as I consider myself to be unique. :D
10 May 2006, 9:31pm
Aran, this time you are bypassing my point. I consider myself unique too. At the same time, I am not offended at being a man (though sometimes I think all men should be offended at being men). Why is being a woman so offensive?
10 May 2006, 11:24pm
*sigh*
Scripto, being 'a woman' is not offensive. Being likened to other 'women' is offensive. See, I answered. It's easy, answering. You should try it sometime.
12 May 2006, 12:35pm
why do women want men to change? so they can be the knight in shining armour that they first pretend to be
12 May 2006, 12:41pm
and that one particualr woman being SS?
12 May 2006, 12:43pm
SS? Now I am confused. Who is SS?
And s, men do not pretend to be knights in shining armour. They pretend to be nothing other than the scratching, farting, burping beings that they are.
12 May 2006, 12:46pm
SS being the one u fancy the pants off. How can u not know her?
Now we all know why women want men to change :)
