Who Decides


When I ask for a Sub (For folks who haven't tried a Sub - A sub is a type of customizable sandwich you get in Subway outlets.) with no olives and capsicum that is exactly what I expect… NO olives and capsicum. The order has been lost somewhere between the time when I said and when the person heard it and then went on to do his one thing around the shop. When I order something to my exact specifications well then I expect such in return, no questions asked… It’s like buying a brand new Apartment, you don't buy them often. You tell them to get it painted in apple-ivory and red-wood for interiors and then one day the salesman i.e.. the builder tries to sell you the exact apartment. The only thing wrong is that it didn’t come with redwood interiors and the paint was neon-green. Sorry Jackass, but that is just not the way things work. I wouldn’t buy the house that way because the builder messed up my order. So why would I want buy a Sub with olives and capsicum when I didn’t want it? It’s like ordering a mail-order bride (err.. I don't know how many can sense what this really is) with brown hair, long legs, and looks like a supermodel. Then she shows up at your door step with no hair, short stumpy legs, and with a face that only a mother could love. Then you’re stuck with her because you feel bad about hurting feelings, be it her or the others(did I sound family here). You know what? I don’t want to be stuck with the short stumpy legged girl in the earrings and I don’t want to live in a freaking neon-green painted house with teak interiors. Even if the teak interiors looks cool to others, or even if its better and expensive, So what ? That is the way I wanted my Sub (House) and I’m not going to eat those stupid olives and capsicum that you so graciously decided I needed to eat instead of listening to what I wanted and following those directions. Oh, and by the way? Can you get my wife with the short, stumpy legs and ugly face a Large Coke float with those french fries too please? thanx...

I know where the red wood furniture comes from, have u been frequenting a lot of pubs these days?

Wife agreed! House, to some extent agreed but Sub? Hello, you can't be so non-accomodating always....it happens sometime :)

Are your parents looking for such a bride by any chance? ;-)

@Krish: err.. yeah I think thats where the idea comes from.. did some soul searching why i wrote 'redwood' :P

@Archana: it happens sometime a.. hehe u have only one chance.. not for a Sub though

@Praneeth: No da.. its not like that.. but imagine what if it does happen.. its a big compromise dude..

@subash: Hey!! that was one awesome write-up! The idea... you know.... it's great! :-) And the way it has been presented... liked the creativity and the strong likes and dislikes.. and the twist at the end, where you get to know that the person is actually putting up with the ugly-painted house and the ugly wife... great going! read it without even the slightest pause..

@Meenakshi: Hehe.. the original draft had a different ending.. then i changed to this.. just to give a funnier ending..
