a joke

my pastor here, well he is a really not so much gifted in preaching as he is just an amazing kind man who loves Jesus so much.
he isn't bengali but south indian. he has lighter skin, this kinda bigger nose and he wears these huge huge glasses from the 1970's. whenever he tries to tell a joke when giving a sermon he gets so excited he jumps out of his chair and makes himself laugh (we all sit in a room together when he speaks) yesterday he spoke about laughter and God. he told a joke...and it kinda made me laugh.....andi can't remmeber the exact titles of the books so bear with mith me....

there was a group of women sitting togther and chatting and chatting away. they all had kids, were pregnant or there were plans for kids in the future. they started talking about what they were reading when they got pregnant. one lady started:
"well, when i was prgnant i was reading "tale of two cities" and "oh bah bah...i had twins"
The next lady chimed in, "well, when i was pregnant i was reading the 3 muskateers and oh bah bah....i had tiplets"
suddenly on of the pregnant mother stands up and says, "Oh bah bah, ladies what shall i do?? i just read Akbar and the 40 theieves?"

its kinda funny...isn't it????
and having my pastor tel lit was even cuter.

thing are okay here. had a great weekend (of course). bought our tickets for the train to see the taj mahal, paid the electricity bill, fell asleep in a coffee shop, our friend charolette and jullian took us out for an amazing amazing farewell dinner and we got to have steak!!, and yesterday there was a social justice film festival and got to see two films "i want to be a pilot" and the hands of Che". and today is a puja so we have another day off!!!!

i love that i have apicture of kim and her new family displayed by my computer, i love that i have quite a few freqeuent flyer miles now. i love that i like the book i am reading now "attonement". i love that feeling after a long day of coming home. i love that wheni come home at night we can make a easy dinner, grab diet cokes and wathc grey's anatomy uninteruppeted and without any objection. i love my new 10 rupee gel pen
