Flash of insight

Ari and I tend to have three conversations going at once on MSN: the normal one, one in square brackets [] and one in curvy brackets {}...of course, they cross over quite a lot. Below is a square bracket conversation that gave me a huge amount of insight. I don't think any commentary from me is needed, but comments are most welcome:

Irim says (23:08):
[is Maahi ve addictive, or is it just me?]
Ari says (23:08):
[Not as much as the songs from K3G, but I can see how it could be.]
Ari says (23:09):
[I'm not addicted to it because all the videos I can find are jerky, and I haven't seen the film.]
Ari says (23:09):
[It's different if you've seen the film, no?]
Irim says (23:09):
[oh yeah. Agreed. SRK's sacrifice...SOB]
Irim says (23:11):
[weirdly, I'm finding Maahi ve...SOOTHING]
Ari says (23:11):
[Interesting.]
Ari says (23:11):
[What does it have that you need?]
Irim says (23:11):
[It's like being with my cousins and aunts and uncles when they were around and young and happy]
Irim says (23:11):
[it's like the summers in Pakistan]
Irim says (23:12):
[it's...Punjabi]
Ari says (23:12):
[You were meant for that kind of dynamic really, weren't you?]
Irim says (23:12):
[???]
Irim says (23:13):
[the culture fusion? Or the SRKajol dynamic/SRK and verbal sparring female?]
Ari says (23:13):
[The close large family with lots of colour and music.]
Irim says (23:13):
[OH GOD, YES]
Ari says (23:13):
[All of it, really, but that in particular.]
Irim says (23:14):
[it's why I'm so jealous of friends with big families who are really close]
Irim says (23:14):
[I was meant for an extended family
Irim says (23:14):
and the person who said they could see my husband and me coming down the steps on a Saturday morning with 20 kids on the family room floor
Ari says (23:15):
[LOL ]
Irim says (23:15):
and looking at eachother and going 'Erm, did we have this many?'
Ari says (23:15):
[LOL ]
Irim says (23:15):
'Erm, no'
Irim says (23:15):
'Are all of ours here?'
Irim says (23:15):
'1...2...3...4...' yup
Irim says (23:16):
Ok that's fine. Let's go back to bed, they're asleep, we'll deal with breakfast later'
Irim says (23:16):
That's me.
Ari says (23:16):
Yes.
Irim says (23:16):
I was told I would be the neighbourhood mum. I believe that.
Irim says (23:16):
And that's the kind of man I would marry.
Irim says (23:19):
it's that kind of man I need to be with.
Ari says (23:20):
It is the only kind of man you could be with.

I would support what both of you are saying. Completely.
