To those from IIMB, there needs to be no introduction to the Dark Lord. For those who dont know him, he spouts his depressing stuff here.
For those confused about what the Dark Side means - all you need to know is that he got married last month.
So I couldnt attend his marriage on account of hawking tea in the Desert and could only meet him on my return. I had unexpectedly landed in Bandra and gave him a call - asked him if he was free to meet - a moments thought and he agreed. We met - over a cup of coffee. We talked for a while. There was that slight embarrased smile on his face as he answered all questions about the newness in his life. It was like the old times - except till that time when he received a call. The expressions changed from confident and suave to worried and petrified. Then he started glancing at his watch and towards the door. I asked the obvious question - was it your wife, are u required home immediately. He mumbled. Then loudly said that not to worry we could sit. I took it at face value - the glancing at the watch became staring at the watch.
Soon he asked if we should leave. Without mentioning a drink or an evening session (For context everytime we met, he would ask if we should go drink and I would refuse). Then he got up - a spring in his step, a marked hurry. And then he was gone, sucumbed to the all pervasive phone call.
And thus was one lost to the dark side

the stronger forces of the world have whisked him away.
From our "dark lord" he has now become someone's "knight in the shining armour"

aaahhh how i envy him and admire the dark side....to think there is such a very very valid reason that can enable one to keep their meetings with u to the minimum and scoot...bliss i say..:))
Nice one... and the title is the best thing.. can't accept it, can't deny it.. but as usual, exaggeration has been your forte!! but well, perhaps I can agree with what BJ has to say..:))
Any more comments on this from my side could be hazardous to my health...:)
"... but to marry is to invite inevitable tragedy... " - all the best 'old' man :-)
