Dating
During yesterday's coffee break, the crux of my chat with a recently engaged Colleague, was his "phone bills.."
Method: Using Calling cards
Nature: Midnight daily conversation with his Fiance
Effect: 300$/month hole in his wallet
A guy who was never comfortable with too much of spending is currently swallowing these bills. He is unsure whether he will have the same enthu after marriage (trying to be realistic!!). Irrespective of his reasoning, I blessed(!!) him to continue on his phone-dating without talking too much on the bills.
Two reasons....
1) I knew guys, who had spent $1000-$1500/month, before the flooding of calling cards here. Compared to those, this budgeted calls looked miniscule.
2) I missed that thrill... even thru phone :-( :-( Don't ask me, why?

Rams,
Let your friend know that after marriage, he may not have the opportunity (not liberty.....) to talk, hahahaha, so let him enjoy these moments which he can atleast recall after marriage (assai podalam)
Bill-ai future mamanaar thalaiyila kattalamey

Raju.. Do you mean to say that Pre-marriage era is like a database build-up era and Once it is built up, the routine would start making the proceedings as stale ones? In my case, since I didn't build the database earlier, I am still building it....
VK..BTW, have you got engaged? I thought you are still doing your masters in GLIM :-) :-) (otherwise, what does "..vaangi kuduthutom" mean?)
Vatsan.. definitely those free deals would be helpful for these (talking) games. I agree...
Venki.. welcome back, after the long gap. Seems you are still recalling the past.. and enjoying that part very much.
Kaps.. Hope you will try to use "SKYPE" without harming your would-be FIL's wallets..
Visithra.. did you mean "drill"? It also suits this conversatn to some extent.. after the drill (during the pre-marriage era), I believe people lose energy to continue (most of the time).. as Venkat had mentioned.
Narayanan.. welcome. My friend's fiance doesn't have a computer at her house.. otherwise, they might have used 'Skype'. I hope future grooms would use 'Skype' instead of emptying their FIL's wallets... konjam karunai pannunga..
Remember a friend whose monthly mobile phone bill used to run to Rs.10,000/month .He would be on MSN,Yahoo chat with his fiance and talk at the same time too !
Fiance-oda pesum bodhu finance paththi aedhu gavanam?

Aahaa Kaps enna oru idea :) Maatunaanga ungalukku varapora maamanaar, paavam :))
