Between 2 Unborn Children From Inside Their Mother's Womb
|
|
Two ladies are
waiting in the hospital waiting room for their routine check-ups.
Suddenly--Hi! Hello!
Are you a boy
or a girl? I am a boy. And you?
Well, I am a
girl. Hope your parents are filthy rich.
|
Why? Because the
celebration of your birth will be very elaborate and expensive.
And yours?
I don't even
know if there will be a celebration. Most probably everyone will make a
long face.
Really, I
don't believe it.
Don't you know
no one pines for a daughter these days.
But I would
love to have a sister.
Well you can
count on me to call you brother dear brother.
Why thank you
Sharmilee!
Who is
Sharmilee?
You of course.
That will be your name.
I don't think
it is an appropriate name.
Why? I like
it. It is a very girly name.
I know. I like
it too but these days being Sharmilee isin't practical. The world needs
bold and beautiful people.

Well for me
your name will be the same.
Dear brother
will you attend school as well as college?
School yes but
college no.
Why is that?
I'll be too
busy learning how to amass wealth in every possible way and any way
college is a real waste of time.
I think I will
start preparing for my two board exams right after I'm born.
|
So soon!
Yeah,
competition is too much to wait for later.
I won't bother
much. My father is a very shrewd character. He will bribe all the
examiners to give me a first class first in both the board exams.
Really, how
nice. My parents are the 'Sach Bolo' types so I don't stand a chance. I
guess I'll be wearing specs as soon as I am able to fix them on my poor
little nose.
You can get
contacts.
Where is the
money?
I'll get the
dough. Don't worry. After all I'm your brother aren't I?
Why thank you
Bhaiya!
It's o.k.
sis. (Next please.
You Mrs. Mehta. Your turn will be after her Mrs. Varma.)
Bye sis.
Good bye bhaiya.
