Meet the Parents...
Ok, so when I saw that movie I thought it was a complete joke. All this stuff does not happen in real life - brother was I wrong. Pallavi's parents arrived (finally) yesterday (now day before) and boy was there a cold war on! Her dad is friendly enough, her mum of course needs a little more work ;) Correction, a lot more work! Today at least she spoke to me a little, and even called me by my name. We went to the wax works museum (Madame T's) and had fun there, though they were very tired out (acutally so was I). But I was the official photographer, snap a picture here, snap one there and don't miss that one - not that I was displeased with the entire affair, just a little disoriented !! But her father is nice enough, very educated and very knowledgable with interesting stories about everything. Of course a bit dated but that is to be expected. I mean, one must be fair, they are a little out of their element over here!
Well, let us see what the remainder of the week has in store for us - correction ... in store for me!
Oh and on a related note - yes I did get grilled about where my parents are from and what my grand parents used to do and what my father used to do. And yes I did cook the most AWESOME simlamirch aaloo this evening, which unfortunately for me, my room mates gobbled up most of!
