A colleague of mine had come up to me in the morning and told me the news
"Oye.. India ko gold mil gaya!"
"Sachhi?"
I asked and then confirmed myself on the internet if the news was true and no sooner was it confirmed that I changed my Orkut profile picture to the Olympics logo and the profile name as "Rahul..India got its 1st Olympics gold" and then I got a scrap on Orkut from one of my friends in Chandigarh
"Saade, Chandigarh da munda hai" and that was it I just went up to almost every colleague of mine and asked
"Oye, where are you from in India?"
"Bla Bla Bla"
"Well, I am from Chandigarh and so is the olympic gold winner for India"
And walk out of the scene before they could reply...
It was probably the first time that I was happy about the fact that there is no one except me in the office who is from Chandigarh and even as I type I can't wait to see their expressions on their faces again... although am sure I will be getting fitting replies for my 'flaunts'
Oh but then the Olympics gold was not why I started to type... its just another bad habit of mine to get carried away and forget the original content
It was an incident that happened to me and one of my friends while we were in a bus,
Now it so happens that we both started discussing the topic of one of our commons friend's love affair, I was supporting the male and she was siding the female involved in the affair. It was something about Guys not expressing their love to girls as frequently as girls do. Now we both sat, debating and justifying our parts, and we had been doing that for almost 10 minutes now… and then all of a sudden…………
The uncle sitting in the front row turned back and said
"Do one thing…ok?"
And he stopped. I had to ask him to continue using my eyes.. so my expression told him "Go On.."
He obeyed "Solve the problem... But not in the bus ok?"
I nodded as he went on "Everybody is listening, so solve it in private ok?"
I wondered why he is using "ok" in every sentence
He did not stop "So... Don't solve it in the bus ok?"
I said "Sorry Uncle" and although I tried my best to look interested, but I was bored listening to "OK?" so I started thinking what would be going on in my friends mind and as if reading my mind "Uncle" shifted his eyes from me to her….
I did not; I was just looking at him My friend probably did not give him "Oh I am interested" looks coz he looked at me again and then turned and faced away like he was sitting.
It was my friends turn to get angry now "Not his father's bus" she said. I displayed a gesture to her using my hands asking her to cool down
"Its not like we were shouting" she said again. She was right, we were not shouting, it was not even loud, as a matter of fact the volume was lower than what we usually talk at But then the "Uncle" did get disturbed and in turn had disturbed my friend.
All said and done, we got out of the bus and then she says loudly
"Had he said to me all those things I would have asked him to mind his own business"
"He might be under some kind of tension, give him the benefit of doubt"
I said "Why take it out on us?" she asked
"Ok lets leave it, Ho gaya na khatam? Chodo ab"
We reached my house where my two other friends supported her by saying that I shouldn't have apologized "Ek sorry se kya farak pad gaya yaar.." I said
I don't know if I was wrong or right, but then this is the way I am, and this is how I would like to be forever!
