The Sonal(Sonal) is a 25 year old investment banker working
in USA. The Amit (AMit) is doing his graduation in Boston and was
given her number by his mother, who is a friend of the Sonal's
long distance chichi ke mausi ki nanand in Chicago.
PHONE CALL Conversation :
Sonal: Hello?
Amit: (Shit, she's home!) Umm, hi! Is this ---?
Sonal: Speaking.
Amit: My name is Amit. I don't know if you know who I am-
(God, what if she doesn't know who I am? I'll sound like
a complete idiot.) Hell, I already sound like a complete
idiot. I don't even know why I'm doing this!)
Sonal: Oh, you live in Boston, right?
Amit: Yeah. (Ok, she was told about me, that's a fucking relief.
I wonder what she was told - "He's a resident, tall, and
fair, and he graduated from IIT!" God, she
probably hates me already!)
Sonal: Yeah, my mother mentioned you had my number.
(I can't believe he actually called!)
Amit: So, how are you? Oh yeah, that's real original, but what the
hell else I am supposed to say- Umm, hi, I don't know you,
but do you want to be wife?)
Sonal: I'm fine. And you? (Ok, this is off to a great fucking start)
Amit: I'm good.(Ok, think, think!) So, I heard you're an investment
banker? (Oh, that's a real winner. Now I can be a bad
conversationalist and an idiot!)
Sonal: Yes.
Amit: (Ok, she is not helping me at all!) Where do you work?
Sonal: JP Morgan.
Amit: Hey, that's a great firm! (I sound like a complete moron.
I should just hang up except my mother would somehow find
out and kill me!)
Sonal: Yeah, it's a nice place to work. (God, this guy sounds
like a complete loser)
Amit: So...(Stall ,stall!)
Sonal: So you're doing your Phd in Computer Science
(Like my mom didn't tell me that 500 times already!)
Amit: (Ok, I can handle this...) Yeah, I'm in my second year.
(Alright, now say something else, but what do I say? Do you
drink and have sex? Cause if you want to marry me, you can't
be one of those goody goody South Indian girls who think if
they kiss a guy they've practically gone all the way to preganancy)
So, what do you like to do in your free time?
Sonal: (Umm... get wasted...) Oh, you know, hang out with my friends,
go to movies.
Amit: Where do you like to hang out in NY?
Sonal: (Shit, what am I supposed to say? This guy could be some
religious freak! I can't say bars - I'll say clubs, you can
go to clubs and not drink...) Oh, sometimes we go to the
movies, or there's a couple clubs that are good... (That
was good, I made it sound like I like clubs, but I'm not
really into them...)
Amit: (Ok, she goes to clubs, that's a good sign. If she was really
religious she wouldn't do that.) Yeah? I like to dance also.
Sonal: (He likes to dance- that's a good sign. He can't be that
stiff!) So where do you hang out in Boston?
Amit: (Should I say it- alright, I'll say it, what the hell!)
Umm, the same, bars, clubs, stuff like that.
Sonal: (He said bars! So he probably drinks. Good sign. I should
explore this further...) Are there any good bars in Boston?
Amit: Yeah, there are some nice ones, I mean, I'm not a huge drinker,
but I like having a good time. (Ok, that gives the impression
of someone who enjoys drinking but is not an alcoholic -
pretty good, if I do say so myself!..M so Intellligent)
Sonal: (That sounds really positive. This guy sounds kind of cool.
But if he's so cool why is he calling me? Shouldn't he have
a Girllfriend? Or not need to call random Girls his mother
tells him about? God, what if he's completely ugly Or Just Gay? Or has
never been kissed?..Or just Mama’s Boy)
Yeah, me too. Although I hope my parents never find out.
Amit: Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. (I wonder if she's butt)
Sonal: (Ok, so he didn't freak out at the living a double life
reference- another good sign. I just wish I knew what he
looked like...) So...
Amit: (Or she could be really fat with a huge mustache. Well, there's
only one way to find out!) So, I know this sounds a little
crazy, but I'm visiting some friends in NYC next weekend and
I wonder if you'd want to get together for coffee sometime.
Sonal: (Coffee. That's totally safe. If he's totally nasty I can have
a quick espresso and run like hell!) Yeah, that sounds great.
Amit: (Alright that went pretty well. Coffee's pretty harmless. And
who knows, maybe she'll be cool. Now I have to get the hell
out of this conversation...)
So I have your e-mail, should I just e-mail you soon and
we can figure it out?
Sonal: (E-mail is sooo much better than the phone. Thank God for
e-mail!) Yeah, just e-mail, I check it all the time at
work, so- (God, this is getting painful)
Amit: Alright, I'll e-mail you soon.(Meaning in two days cause
I don't want to look too desperate, but at the same time
I don't want to look like I'm trying not to look too desperate)
Sonal: Cool. Well, I'm glad you called. (I think...)
Amit: Me too. Well, I'll see you soon.(Please be hot, please be hot!)
Sonal: Alright. Bye. (I can't believe he called! Too late to back out
now. Besides, maybe he's cool. He didn't sound so bad on
the phone. I really hope he's not a virgin.)
Amit: Bye.(I did it! I am the man. I think she wants me. Yeah, she
definitely wants me..... I hope she has nice breasts..... )
