Pride and Prejudice..

This is 1 of th most embarasin incidnts of my lif.. i just cant contrl laughin out loud wenevr i remembr this..

It once happened tat i won th English proficiency test for 6th sem students in our college..(thank u thank u!!). The prize was a set of Sherlock Holmes books, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.. I am a die hard fan of thi one, but i had a book of all th short stories alredy.. so i convinced th organizers to permit me to get the book exchanged..

so me n mom went to th bookstore, n i was left dazed, which book to select. I finally managed to choose The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. Som days later, i was chattin wit friends from Electrical dept. They asked me wat i got.. i,with an ounce of pride, tol them n felt high.. In no time one of them replied "Hey, i've read that book already .. its fantastic.. n i've read Angels and Demons too.. its awesome.." ...................................

next moment , i saw myself flat on ground,.. all i can remember tat i wa smilin a bit idiotically, but managed "Oh.. ok.. thats good.." mutter mutter. N wow , u thot u wer good at English..

Rats, i thought. "vishal, keep ur feet on earth . ther r sharper ppl around.."

Wait. The story doent end so easily on me.. abhi to tera whitewash chalu hua hai beta!

Another day, she told me tat she had read 8 (yes, EIGHT) books in th last vacation... i ws lucky tat she was on the other end of the phone n couldnt see my expression.. i exclaimed, n promised myself to be watchful n working.
