Genre: Fiction
Ratings: 2.5/5
For ages, the equation has been simple and crisp - Marry by 30, have a child by 32.. work till 55 and by that time your kids would be ready for another marital bliss.You will be able to play with your grandchildren while you are still able to walk. India has moved ahead but the youth has never been able to break this social monotony. Jaybert had simply missed the bus. Not because he is some kind of a social revolutionary but because there aren't enough insane girls in India. Most of his mates are married and have kids. Some of his friends' wives still maintain that the movie "40 year old virgin" was based on Jaybert's life. They recall him by the moron who turns up in all the social gatherings without a partner, behaves awkwardly when they ask him to babysit their child for a few minutes, and tries to hit on their sisters with amazingly consistent lousiness. Jaybert had tried unsuccessfully everything to prove them wrong, including watching an early 90s television show Mr. Yogi several times for inspiration to browsing through shady friend-finder sites. Recently,one good thing the over ambitious and competitive online dating market had done - was to get a date for Jaybert. If ever there was a Forbes List for Matrimonial sites - this feat should definitely get the site to the top. The site was unambiguously called sambhog.com. The date was tomorrow.
Chapter 1: The practice wicket
While, others of his tribe are either busy mating at this time of the hour or trying to put their love child to sleep, Jaybert seems desperate and clueless in his room. It was time to call your BFF! (BFF is another of those ugly American imports which means Best Friend Forever) and seek advise to impress the girl he is meeting tomorrow. His best buddy in his hussed tone asks him not to do whatever he has done all his life with a girl and in all probability it will hit the right chord.

Jaybert always thought on the wedding night he would do a Hrithik Roshan by coming off with flying colors on his debut. His is a condition which psychoanalysts should call "the theoretical lover". He is all prepared and set, having practiced all the right muscles for nothing less than 20 years. Jaybert thinks the original phrase is "Practice makes the manhood perfect".
10 years back he had seen a movie "youth in revolt" - and like the protagonist in the movie, Jaybert wants to play the quintessential French guy who can sweep the girl out off her feet. Jaybert is sure, if he can recreate the conditions shown in the movie he will come up with flying colors and definitely patao the girl he is about to date. However, there is just a little lusty difference here - neither is he young nor is he revolting types. He is rather old and revolving type.
Today, dressed in a silk blue shirt with gelled hair, he is repeating some lines in front of the mirror. But, too bad that the only thing he can recall is a teenage pick up line like, "hey! is your dad a terrorist, coz your such a bomb" or "hey! is your dad a lumberjack.. coz I have got wood in my pant."
Is this the meeting with the beautiful mother of his future children ?or Is this another of those prickly divorced women with a kid, looking for a guy with fat pocket? Watch out this space to see how the story unfolds. Tada.
