Why I am useful to some of my friends

Some of my friends at work have been encouraging me to select a good looking girl in the office and get married to her.

While they have always been suggesting this, ever since this Guru peyarchi thingy happened 2 weeks backs, some of them are going over-board. Raj suggested that I start visiting the local temples. He even suggested the popular time slots that could yield good results. Ganesh suggested that I simply put the "katti pudi vaidhiyam" to good use.

Yesterday, my unit had a small celebration in the office. The event witnessed decent attendance and there were lots many new faces. Some good ones too. :)

For the entire duration of the event, Raj, Ganesh and even Ramadurai, seemed to be very keen on goading me to select one particular girl. I reminded them repeatedly about the vast age difference between the girl and me, which in effect would only lead to disappointment if at all I proceed. But to no avail. They kept on selling this idea to me for nearly an hour.

But the coup de grace of all this was what happened at work today. I had gone to office for as an interview panelist. Towards the end of the day, another friend of mine started telling me to "proceed" with the HR girl who was coordinating the whole interview arrangement!

I have started getting a feeling that probably all these guys are proceeding with their "sight seeing" and just using me as a valid excuse, in case someone suspects their motive!
