Aur Batao

"Aur batao, Kya haal chaal hai?", or some modified version of this, is usually the first statement in any formal talk, and Informal talks are now on verge of being extinct. Good Bye will be out of Indian English soon. Now, with India swiftly moving (or trying to move) towards advanced culture, where time is very important, people have devised many ways to save their time in chatting.... Gone are the days, and those people too, who sat and gossiped from dawn to late nights with a Hukka in between... I always think what could have been so interesting to keep them united, enjoy each other's company ( May be they discussed about hot females of village... Ever overheard some 80-year old person commenting, "Arey! Apne Ratanlal ke chorey ki bahu bhi kya cheej hai!!" :DDD)

You are chatting with someone (and you two are not lovers, in which case, doesn't matter if anything relevant is there to talk or not.... Famous love psychologist Udham Singh says, "Every crap is relevant in love, and After that, every important thing is crap"). And when nothing is there to talk, one person says, "Aur Sunao" and you say (not by mouth), " Do I sound like a joker?, Am I telling fairy tales?"

This phrase, invented by some smart people, commonly used when both the parties have nothing to say, each one completely known to other side. Some smarter people (including me...) use this phrase to start the conversation, as the most probabilistic answer to this is, "Nothing yaar! Same old life pattern" (Or sort of with maximum 2-3 lines). And then you say, "Hmm... So, Keep in touch. Take care" It's over :)
