As you must have guessed by now, this post is going to unravel the mystery where I was lost from last couple of days, resulting in the drastic fall down in the popularity of my blog. Not that it was actually popular before but it sounds good at least! Last two weekends were a frenetic and hectic experience for us as well as some of the stores in the city as we were on the mission shopping. “We” means me and my brother (M). Though at some of the places, his wife (my sis-in-law T) also accompanied us but in general she makes sure not to make this blunder when we two are together, reasons still unknown to us.
So it started with Diwan Saheb in search of a suit and as we tried to open the door, were greeted by thick smoke from several incense sticks lit in at least 5 places along with the sounds of "Om Namah Shivay” chanting. We were like stuck when I asked M what he was looking for. There should be a bell usually found in temples, he replied. Before I could fall on the floor while laughing, the salesman inside caught the attention
SM - Yes sir while we were still on door
In unison - Umm, do we need to put off the shoes before we come in? like we do in temples
He frowned but said nothing so there we entered.. After looking at several suits and rejecting them all
SM - Sir, could you please describe what exactly you are looking for
Me - Well, I don’t know but what I can describe is we ain’t looking for the ones you are showing to us.
SM – isn’t it good to have it other way around sir
Me – *smile* #@$#!%^
SM - *thinking* feeling is mutual sir!!
The next stoppage was “The Raymonds Shop” The salesman glanced at us from top to bottom and immediately lost the interest while noticing the stubble, old tee and the slippers.
Me – we need two suit lengths.
SM –sir look at this one.
M – no we don’t need gray
SM – how about this one
M – oh I already have lots of blues and blacks
SM – loosing even the remaining interest as well and indicating the stuff already spread on counter
blue aapke pass already hai sir, gray aapko lena nai to phir to isme se he choose karna padega sir.
(You don’t want blue, gray you already have then you will have to choose from these only)
M – so?
Me – mockingly gray tumko lena nai, blue tumhare pass already hai to phir inme se he lena padega na.
We – burst out laughing while running to exit.
Somehow the suit trauma was over after looking another 10-12 stores and having almost similar experiences. Reportedly some of them have already provided our snaps to the guards on door to politely inform that they don’t have any thing worth for the taste of these two gentlemen, should we approach them again in future.
Having done the huge task M suggested celebrating this with a lunch before proceeding.
Me – I am not sure, T must be expecting us at home with the lunch already prepared.
M - Take your pick, I suppose she has prepared some Dudhi or Tinda (Bottle Gourd or Round Gourd) or some thing
Me – lets do it then but give her a call to get an idea of the mood. No?
M – hmmm.. calling her, so whats up!
T – Nothing, waiting for you two on lunch
M – Oh, I think we will be late, say another 2 hours
T – Hmm, you are not saying that you two are going to have lunch there
M – munching on a piece of chicken, well you tell me
T – you dare not
M – oh sure!!
Later that day, when speaking to Neha
Me – today was such a hectic day, didn’t even have food
N – why not? you could eat outside
Me – well, we thought about that but then M said, T has already prepared lunch at home so it won’t be nice to leave her waiting while we are devouring in a restra.
N – See... He is so loving and caring, and look at you.. such a rude and inconsiderate guy..
sigh… if only she knew…
to be continued...
(I can write another 2 posts on it but only if you are willing to tolerate, so do let me know)
Cheers!!
