Remember, in my last few posts, I have been telling you about my jogging mania. This post is totally dedicated to all those guys out there on the roads in fluorescent orange and green polo neck-skin tight-t-shirts whose eyes pop out of their heads and behave like magnets attracted towards the feminine species. I just realized to write a whole entry in honor of those idiots who can make a simple walk on the road seem like a daunting yet hilarious experience at the same time. As for those guys who do it outside college... Get a life... I’m going to narrate a couple of things that I've seen them do which had me in splits of laughter!!!
Since it was a rainy day, my friend and I decided to jog in our residential area only and we saw a couple of gals walking towards the music academy across the lane. Both of them had guitars we slung on them which were cased in black. We both were almost behind them and were walking down along heir path. That is when two guys on a scooter passed us, and one of the idiots screamed "OHO!!! Sania Mirza!!!”The man did not know the difference between a guitar and a tennis racquet. All four of us broke into loud laughter which actually made the people living in that lane peep out of their windows.
On another fateful day, I was walking to my office and a few college students were waiting at the bus stop ahead. A boy, who must have been barely 15 years old, went by them on a bicycle singing out loudly and totally out of tune "Mere Sapno Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu..." One of those girls he was singing for said "Chal Hat!!" and the poor chap was so shocked that he lost balance and fell off. Then he hurriedly got up to pick up his cycle and ran the rest of the way.
Finally and probably the most common roadside act... We were passing by a couple of people at a chai stall and almost like a reflex action, three people’s hands moved to their ears. They started screaming.. "Hallo!!! Salim Bhai!!!" or"Namaste Mama..." into mobile phones which had not even been ringing audibly. Isn’t it a real co incidence that all the mobile phones in silent mode tend to ring at the precise moment when someone they want to impress passes by them.I could only remember one person today when this happened, Salim Pheku from "The Angrez".Those who haven’t seen that movie ( specially Hyderabadis) simply have to!
