Bulletin Board-The Members

They came to stay next door-a family of four-The boy of the family was tall, so tall that you nearly sprained your neck trying to talk to him. He hated cats.The girl next door had a pet cat. They had arguments over the feline being. The cat couldn't care less of course... Years passed, they grew up,worked hard for their careers, and went far from home to make their fortunes. The boy and the girl met again.This time there was no cat. Staying in an alien land with strangers, they sought solace in each other's company .Friends?? Maybe they are.

He had a happy life.A good job, several trips to germany, a house of his own , a loving family. What does one want more from life. And to top it all , there were pretty girls to stare at and maybe date with in his office.Morning breakfasts were pleasant-watching them and trying to make some friends. This was a similar morning, pretty girls around...nice watching them ....its a beautiful world......keep watching....and then bang..........someone poured hot coffee over his wrist.........He looked up to see a plump girl staring into his eyes with a questioning look-cant u see where u are going......He was vexed, couldnt she have seen what she is doing with her coffee.Anyway she's not worth bothering about. But this girl seems to be a busybody, no work, moves around the office , generally doing timepass, and she talks so much!!! How does one avoid such a person!!!

He seemed to have it all-a good CV with all the right credentials. A good job, good friends. He had made a new good friend in his current workplace-a mallu with a penchant for food and germany.
Saturdays were fun days to spend time with friends. His mallu friend insisted on inviting another friend-a girl. Well no harm ,let her come.But it was so irritating, she was late...........he did not like waiting for anyone........and she was late......well certain habits in certain people cant be avoided, but certain company can certainly be.......But it wasn't destined to be......She insisted on tagging along to them on every weekend and made them wait all the time.......Well life's small ironies.......

For the first time she would be staying away from her family. It wasnt a easy decision. But what will be ,must be. Accomodation-in Bombay? within budget?Seems a mammoth task....Someone in her new organization told her about a colleague looking for a roommate.Talked to her, moved in. But life was not all hunky dory.Adjustments, compromises with a unreasonable roommate and colleague isnt a easy task.And the other roomy? Lazy girl, who keeps her stuff all untidy and all over the place and who sings at the top of her voice.Sunday mornings going to office is such a unpleasant task. Atleast the evenings should be spent nicely. The fat roomy is there, shopping trip to Hiranandani.Both of them discovered good bargains to buy and a friend in each other-for life.

She is plump, lazy, talkative and crazy. But she is lucky cause her friends are there with her even if she keeps cats as pets, throws hot coffee on them, is always late and keeps her things untidily.
