It's complicated

'Do you think 'I'll have one drink for me and one drink for you' sounds romantic?' I ignore my ringing phone as I contemplate the text message. A necessary task really, considering that not very many minutes ago, I was asked the exact same question via msn, by a different man. At that time, I wasn't sure whether it was a coyly romantic overture, or a lush at work...but now.....ahem! I text the almost ex back, 'Are you and Khush now actively dating each other? He just asked me the same thing!! wtf?'. An immediate and indignant response ensues. 'We are NOT dating!!! Why are you jealous? ;)'. I would be a very petty woman indeed if I let the green eyed monster haunt the Pati, Patni and Woh scenario from Bandra (E)..., but my 'Never. You two make such a handsome couple' earned me nothing but poetic invective (excrement of a male bovine creature, no less), and another inquiring pop up window on msn. 'Has Velu been in touch asking similar esoteric questions?'. The uncanny resemblance to the 3 stooges now completely makes a mockery of my day, as I get irrevocably drawn into the finer points of male bonding and loving gestures, as the deciding vote. Siiigh. It is complicated, but I get all misted eyed at the love between my boys... awwwwwww.... and neither of them even has a chhati pe daag. Made in Heaven, methinks.
