And since I was traveling to Hyderabad, to meet some clients, my boss requested me to let him accompany me. He was appearing for the UPSC exam, which is the exam you take when you want to join the government services, the all powerful bureaucratic wing of the Indian government. We were there 'cause he had to come to write a test. We, that's me and Kashish, the kid, my boss' son, were at this hotel in Hyderabad.
OK, before I go any further I guess I should be giving you a little background. I had no desire to discuss my girlfriend or the lack of one with this kid. why don't you just close your eyes and go to sleep,' I said, slightly taken aback, trying to get him to shut up. 'What did I mean?' he asked, grinning widely. not 'a' girlfriend like the way you meant.' 'Well, I mean I do have friends, who happen to be girls, but not any special one. yeah, I do have a few girlfriends, but not 'a girlfriend'.' I replied, making the silly mistake of trying to classify.
