Ma and I are on the
phone. I have no need to be politically correct while talking to her. As usual,
we are talking Bollywood. I'm telling her about the recent surge of female
actors in their forties or approaching forties getting married this year.
Urmila Matondkar. Preity Zinta. Bipasha Basu.
"Shobai ekhon buro
boyeshey biye korchey." I say. (Everyone is getting married in old age)
Now this is Bollywood
gossip. So Ma is clearly offended. And defensive too.
"Buro boyeshey na,
mature boyeshey." she sternly corrects me. (Not old age, but mature age)
"They are not immature like me, fell in love with the first guy I met and
married him. They are just taking their time."
Now what do I say to
that?
