So what does a person who has trouble making friends do – get on a site called “Fishing for Friends”. Hell if I can dig out a husband from Bharatmatrimony.com, I can surely get a friend from another site. And so I did.
Last week I got two replies – one from a lady in Ealing and the other from Reading.
I have just come back after spending a Saturday lunch with the Ealing lady (EL). A black lady who is married to an Indian from Gibraltar – I tell you my world is getting smaller and smaller. I had such a good time chatting with EL. We shared work, family and kid stories. I even shared my newly found “Korean” obsession.
The Reading lady (RL) and I have been conversing a lot over the phone. We talk to each other at least thrice a week. So yeah it has been good so far. RL is single, Muslim and used to live with her mother till very recently. She seems to be like a person who needs a lot of emotional support.
Both these ladies are my age group – well slightly older. But I am having a ball of a time. And for the time I am going to keep all my prejudices locked up.
