Committed with a K

So, I'm sitting in an auto near the Khairatabad Junction this afternoon. With me are two (male) colleagues. A beggar woman comes to us and starts her usual rant about money and blessings and suddenly says "God will keep your pair happy".

Instead of sounding funny as it usually have, it sounded mildly offensive! I've never been the kind to get overly upset when there is no real reason to. And it was quite shocking that I reacted so violently (I snapped at her saying there's no jodi here for God to keep salamat). Perhaps I was just irritated by her constant begging (very likely) or maybe (shudder) I'm now committed with a K.

What do I mean by committed with a K? I mean committed in the Ekta Kapoor style. Perhaps the next time you see me I shall be wearing a foot long mangalsutra, a maang full of sindoor and my hair in a bun... :P

I'm being excessively dramatic, of course. But "Committed with a K" can feature on the same list as PVC. Quite an insult if you know what it means... ;-)
