Emergency Dressings

Last night we had to head for the hospital in the middle of the
night. (I am just fine and dandy). I had to accompany a sibling,
with a persistent high temprature. As I was sitting in the fashion-
ably decorated Emergency Ward sitting room, waiting to hear
some good news, I looked around and saw something odd...
the women, girls, who had come with bemaar relatives were
all dressed to the nines.

What’s up with dat ?. Yani, aaDhi raaT gaey, they are sitting
there with perfectly coiffed do’s, make-up, high heels. Aik kai
baaD aik aaey ja rahi Thee. It looked like a catwalk. Yani unn
kai bhai kai, Teen bajay raaT kai, maRooR uTh rahey haiN, Tou
they will first take an hour to get ready to come to the hospital ?.
It was either that, ya phir somebody’s dinner party had gone
real wrong.

I am just glad, I had shaved. *phew*
