[COLOR=blue]hey anita btw I'm le meilleur des trois femmes divines[/COLOR]

bewajah, enchantee de faire votre connaissance! (pls. add accents where applicable....am having a hard enough time color coding this post). Hey just realized that if you remove the comma in that line, changes the meaning, doesn't it? [;)]

[COLOR=blue]ditto for 1 and 3 and haven't decided about french yet .............. chalega??[/COLOR]

daudega! ....see I don't just watch Indian movies, I learn from them as well.

[COLOR=brown]Ah oui? Femmedivine s'appelle Rani ... alors, nous sommes tres contente de vous rencontrer (est-ce que c'est juste ou non? Padma! Ou es tu? Anita - Padma (lotus1963) est une professeur de Francais!! It's been eons since I was immersed in French, hence the rust ...[/COLOR]

Rust buster at your service, ma'am! On peut se tutoyer, non? Would love to meet Padma.....

[COLOR=brown]Where in Cal. are you? Hope it isn't that bloody place in the South ... you know the part that's going to fall into the Pacific any day now (Lala Land)?!![/COLOR]

Simi Valley....SeeMee thinks it's more likely that we will burn down.....although falling into the pacific doesn't sound that bad then, does it?

[COLOR=brown]Yeah! So can you help me decipher the cryptogram that is Rani's post?!![/COLOR]

Sorry, still trying to work out which truffle is being referred to here...... [LOL]

On a more serious note, it's great to meet all of you....keep yapping!

Keep posting, I'm sure there are other silent readers like me out there who appreciate your wit and style.

I just realized that I would like to comment on this ...

Anita, if you know of others in the 'silent' majority/minority, please urge them to 'speak up' ... as well as those who are just plain vanilla silent viewers ... all that this entails is hitting the 'Like' button on our posts ... this is not an undying desire for adulation on our part (while the members of our mutual admiration society are negligible, we're immersed in 'self-approbation' 24/7 😆 , so we're hardly seeking to be idolized), but just as a vote of confidence that differences are permissible without someone's nose getting bent out of joint! See, too many of these fora are infested with factions with manifestly weird 'territorial' behavior ... there is little need for their kind of 'oligarchy'

Only because I'm not using Windows Explorer as a browser ... the editor that gets launched as a result of this alternate browser that I'm being forced to use does not have all the required functionality (hope to recover as soon as I have the damn machine disinfected - the result of a completely clueless parent who surfs the net with nary an idea of what things are all about 😕 😔 ) ...

Oui!!! Biensur!!!!!

Hey just realized that if you remove the comma in that line, changes the meaning, doesn't it?

Oui. Oui! Biensur!!! 😆 😆 ... c'est magnifique!!

Rust buster at your service, ma'am!

You mean you never had an encounter of the truly ethereal kind with a Pattinson on KB?!!! Now, *there* was some oxidation that needed a helping hand!! 'Cause if it was English that was being employed ... it might as well have been Greek (kinda like Rani's Franglish 😃)

Would love to meet Padma.....

We need to corral her back ... she had a very unpleasant encounter with a Mme Moderator type on KB and probably threw in the towel 😔 ...

SeeMee thinks it's more likely that we will burn down

Looks like you may be in for some mud-slides this weekend? (Easy gals ... we is gettin' off topic big time ... gotta start putting together R.Com 'sandwiches') ...

which truffle is being referred to here

Whaddyatawkinbout?!!! Which choc. truffle?!!! There's only one on KB!!! We've only waxed looney-toones over him for the past goodness knows how many months!! The poor fella has been thru a meat grinder and then some!!! Amazing he's still as cute as he is (I personally think he has a truly incandescent smile)!!

.it got stuck with a bunch of not so 'colorful' tags.....

In this post as well! Are you logging on using Explorer? I have to try IF's 'full-editor' to see if it has a wider palette of options ...

So when is this next epi. of R.com? I still have to hunt down the one with the Father/Daughter 'confrontation' (?) to see if it would help nudge me in a more favorable direction ... did you see it? If so, any thoughts?

The next episode of R.com isn't until next Wednesday I think. There's been a change in schedule.

But I'm watching a re-run of last week's episode as we 'speak'......I loved this episode. There were 3 parallel tracks

Track 1
A 65 yr - old fearing his own mortality after losing his wife - looking for a companion......
I loved the fact that Isha makes no bones about the fact that they haven't really tried their best in this particular case probably due to her own prejudices......
Loved the way she addressed him as 'uncle' - that is sooooo typically Indian
And the grandson who thinks 'he's all that' coz he's studied abroad.....LOL

Track 2
The CEO of a rival matchmaking agency showing up at rishta.com to look for a life partner for himself....the immediate thought is that he's there to pilfer clients....but towards the end of the episode, he actually hands over a client's profile from his own company as a possible match for the 'uncle'.....now how can that not make you go 'Awwwwwwww'.....told you I'm a sucker for happy endings.

Track 3
Ruchika's mom comes visiting....and Ruchika has to morph into 'Bharatiya Naari' for the duration of her stay......I found it hilarious that Rohan actually thought that she (the mom) might be a suitable candidate for 'uncle'.....

P.S. You guys can fight over the choc truffle on KB (although I do admit he's beyond cute!)......as long as you leave the cheesecake on R.com for me.....

Phew!! I thought I might have to duke it out with you too!! I wanna let you in on a 'secret' ... see the choc. truffle is all mine ... les autres deux femmes divine are actually 2 creatures bovine (this is an established fact and I have extolled their virtues at great length on that other forum 😉 ... hide, tails, hooves, 'soleful' eyes ... and many udder things 😆)
......as long as you leave the cheesecake on R.com for me.....
Sorry for being repetitive ... but he's all yourine pee pee ... and you can have this cheesecake with cherries if you please (actually, cheesecake is among my least favorite desserts) ...
So ... I watched the R.com episode with the Gay friend and the scoffing of women by the men, and the sneering of the men by the women ... so ... when I started to not only know what was next but was even spitting out the dialogue a split second before the character uttered it ... well ... OK ... I'd give it a C+ ... maybe a B- ...
But I tell you ... the last scene with the threesome at the no-host (?) bar where the rotund fellow (sorry, his name excapes me) states that his drink is 'adulterated' (because he cannot believe that Rohan and Isha were not at each other's 'throats') ... could have used my line instead (which has been dragged out any number of times): "I think I'm pretty sloshed ... better get another drink to sober up" ...
Oh ... and the carnations ... are they considered expensive flowers in India? They're about as inexpensive as flowers can get here ... I know 'cause I get 'em wholesale ... If I were a guy, I'd send long stemmed roses ... or perhaps some exotic orchids (which are much more native to the tropics than carnations - environmentally friendly and all that sort of thing 😆)
Anita - you're not too far from Pasadena and Caltech right? Ever catch 'The Big Bang Theory' on Monday nights?! Now there's a seriously hysterical show (too bad they don't give particularly funny lines to 'Raj' - one of the 4 super nerdy Caltechie 'musketeers' ... their appearance is enough to crack you up ... without them ever uttering a word) ... catch it sometime ... and if you have a Science background, you can come completely unhinged laughing (this is akin to my wondering how a non-Indian could get the full flavor of some of Rushdie's humor ... like when the woman with a perpetual cough was called the 'Khansi ki Rani') ...

I'll look into the epi. you mention ... tomorrow ...

Will definitely try and catch 'The Bing Bang Theory' this Monday...I'm totally intrigued.

'Khansi ki Rani'? LOL....this is enough to keep me going for the rest of the day.

Your references to creatures bovine made me crack up.....you know in India, you often find cows loitering around on the roads, swatting flies with their tails and chewing cud - totally immune to the traffic around them. I once happened to come across one while driving to work with a friend.....I made the mistake of 'honking' at the cow to get it to scoot over a bit. My friend looks at me like I have committed sacrilege and goes 'Gaay hamari mata hai' with such a serious look that I cracked up.....I don't think he's ever completely forgiven me for it.....

But coming back to the topic, have a go at a few more episodes, I'm sure they'll grow on you.

B- is pretty good.......so I'll B+ (I know, bad one!)
