yOur iNviTEd tOo

nowadays, i get a lot of these mails.

***********

"we are pleased to invite you to ____ and _____'s wedding on ......"
its usually a general invite. u know like a whole bunch of ppl are cc'd on the list. your somewhere in the middle...

u do the best u can. i get that.
ofcourse most times i have a vague idea, that i must have known the person.
that's why i'm being invited right?

but then one day i recieve a really nice mail.


Dear S_____,
i'd like to invite you......

the rest of the email is with the same format.

now
u can guess what happens next. i spent the next half hour looking at the mail from all angles. front, sideways, bottom-up. nope didnt help.
i really couldn't picture any face with that name.
thankfully the name was familiar, and he had been really nice to send me a personal invite mail.
and i really felt bad that i couldn't even remember talking to him more than a few minutes over 4 yrs of engg.

so ... there was nothing to do about it ...
u know how u reply to the generic mails with a "hey congrats and blah blah."
so i sent a personal mail back saying how happy i was for him and be sure to send me the snaps.
no no really be sure to send me the snaps. hopefully with an arrow pointing to yourself and saying. this is B____ and you knew me from 2000 to 2004.

:P

too much haan??

naatak only. i know :P
