Conversation from work # 2

Work colleague:- She is pretty. Don't you think so?

Me:-                    She is alright. Not really that pretty. Not much about her.

Work colleague:- Oh.... right. I assume that you just go for Indian girls then?

Me:-                    No. The work colleague then replied:-Oh....but....what would your parents say if you went for a white girl??  Would they be against it?? Are they religious?? My reply was:-What would that have to do with what kind of girls I like?? The work colleague then proceeded to say:-  Well, would you get into trouble if you took a white girl home with you?? Some religions are mad, you can't do anything. So are you different then?? What kind of stuff do you do?? Or are you more British like us??

Me:-                      I am nothing like you.

I then walked out of the room. This, as well as the other "conversation from work" on this blog is a word for word conversation that took place.

Goodbye Mahendra

I thought that seeing as I was unable to say anything at the funeral, then it would be easier for me to write something now, but that seems difficult too.

There was so much that my uncle went through in life. Just after he regained full health and was so full of life again, he passed away. It just doesn't make any sense.

I think that everybody who knew my uncle can all learn something from him and that is that no matter how bad things can get in your life, no matter what you have to go through, you can still always look on the positive side of things and keep smiling and laughing and being jolly and making other people happy. This is a very rare quality to have but there is no reason why everyone including myself can't be like this.

Rest In Peace Mahendra Kaka .Hopefully I am wrong and that there is a heaven as that is where you deserve to be.
