Give up

Vani and Pranay come over for a pleasant Saturday evening.

As it tends to happen, there are two parallel conversations going on -the women talking about one thing, the men about another. In between, the men pause briefly to listen to our conversation.

Y: ''And have you seen this movie, French Kiss? It's quite sweet''
Vani: ''I have seen it and thought it was rather silly'
Y: ''It is silly, of course, but also rather funny - Meg Ryan is cute in it...and I even like Kevin Kline'.

At this, Pranay turns to Vijay and asks 'Kevin Kline? Yeh kaun hai?'
Vijay explains confidently 'Wo chaddi hoti hai na...'

I am aghast to hear this 'No, that's Calvin Klein. And is that all you have to say about a brand like that? Chaddi?'
Pranay rushes to Vijay's defense 'Nahin, yaar, achhi chaddi hoti hai...'

I officially give up.
