That woman strikes again!

This blog has tracked random defining moments inflicted on yours truly and those associated with her by none other than the formidable Minu Guha. Pearls of wisdom, interspersed with Nazi like determination and an unquenchable thirst for world domination cunningly disguised by startling insouciance. She is an interesting woman, one with varied interests and prone to hilarious faux pas. Our conversation veers to F1 and she brings me up to speed, not at all put out by my obvious lack of knowledge of the current season, and goes on to tell me how excited it is going to be and that punters have predicted that Scumi might have a rip roaring season. Whoaaa... Scumi? She looks at me bright eyed, "Yes Scumi, you know that chappie who won all the world championships". Gales of laughter catapult me off the bed in my rush to hug her bewildered look at my mirth. "Mother! It's ScHumi! Not Scumi!!" Her wide eyed, "Really?" exacerbates my situation, and I have to be whacked on the back to stop from choking. "I always thought it was Scumi" she mutters, unrelentingly. She is adorable. Order is finally restored after Ba comes in with his, "Tch, of course it ScHumi" and she berates him for not knowing anything about F1 to begin with, but ungraciously concedes the battle of Scumi. A stray giggle escapes me, but we manage to move onto other topics of conversation, and she coaxes me to return to Bombay, and threatens to buy me a Nano for me to whizz around town. Her exact words, "You can drive the Nano all over the place... shaaaooo shaaaao korey". Haughtily I inform her that I'm not the type of girl to drive a Nano, shaaao shaaaooo or otherwise, and she goes, "I know, you're more the suvi type". I'm stymied - I am? "What?". "You know, all the suvs". Erm, no I don't know. What is the woman on about now?! "Ooof! the suvs, that's what you want to drive!" "What's a suvi??" I demand to know. "You know, the big cars". SUV! She means SUV's. The formidable one is squashed for her efforts and we agree that Scumi isn't a patch on me in a suv.
