Sad story of life !!
A piece from a typical conversation between two bachelors (say A and B) in US who've met after a long long time :
A : Whassup dude ?
B : Hey man ! Whats up ?
A : nothing man .. u tell me !
B : oh .. just same old man ... life goes on .. whats new on your side ?
A : dude .. we are in US... nothing new happens here man ! Its the same life everyday !
B : I know ! We are meeting after what ? 6 months ?
A: must be ! in fact, more than that ! 8 months I guess ..
B : come on dude .. kuchh to naya hua hoga na yaar tere life mein ..
A : well, let see .. nayaaaa...... nayaaaa .. haan well I dunno if this counts but I got a speeding ticket the other day ... I was on 80 in 65 zone ...
B : poor you ... anyway, shaadi waadi ke kya haal hai ?
A : Abe, itni jaldi kahan .. I am sure you are ahead in line !!
B : I think the next India trip will be for marriage ... I have shortlisted a few girls .. lets see how it goes ... I am telling you ... learn from me and start looking for girls early man ! Its become so
tough these days !
A : yeah dude .. I know ! I am gonna start soon as well !! :)
B : aur bol ...
A : aur bas kuchh nahi yaar .. chal raha hai !
and this goes on ... someone just pops in some incident from somewhere and you talk about it for 10 minutes and then the same lines ' aur bol' - ' aur kuchh nahi yaar - same old ' keep repeating ...
Its strange but if you decide to tap telephone lines in US .. this is what you will hear between two bachelor guys most of the times even on phone ... somehow in US, there are very less topics to talk about ... ghoom phir ke, you come back to the same topics as if there is nothing else to talk about ...
I think here are the common topics for discussion in the order of precedence (commonality)
1. Marriage & seeing girls
2. India trips - past & future
3. Who (friends) recently got married, who broke up with his'her gf/bf, whos where (geographically) now ...
4. Work related stuff
5. Weather
6. Girlfriends - how to get one !! :) ..
7. Friday nights, Weekends & monday blues
8. Movies - recently seen movies & reviews
9. Cellphone plan, carrier or any other deals found / shopping
10. gas prices, house prices, car prices - how everything is going up, taxes etc ...
Words, language, emotions might change but the topics overall remain the same !! Believe it or not ... its true ... sad but true !

you have ten topics short-listed already to talk about.. thts not bad..
and hey.. are you getting married soon?? hehe
well.. it is sad that you need to shortlist and think about topics beforehand ! isnt that a proof of sad life in itself ?
about the marriage front, well, the search for that ideal, perfect, come-down-from-heaven wife is ON !! ;) lol !
I talk about blogs with some friends on phone and chat :-)
yeah that would be # 11 or something later in the list .. I am sure not many ppl talk about it typically in a day-to-day conversation ..
i wish i could talk to someone abt blogging!! lol will u believe it if i say i lead a sadder life here.. am so busy that all i can do is blog, and work on college presentations!! No talking whatsoever!!
Nice post. I usually end up on topics 5,2,3,4 and there is a long pause. :)
