Jogging Chronicles

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!

How I met my friend ...

Before I write something , I wish you all a very happy Diwali belated. Hope you had a safe and awesome celebration :-)Do share me if you had anything interesting apart from hogging and burning!!!


OK moving on.. Being a festival week, the mood is still carried to the weekend too.. And fortunately I got a chance to meet my buddies too who are in the town for festival:-)


He is the story of my good friend, how we met 15 years ago :-)


Sniff* scratch* whimper* and a “oh! So innocent gaze” are few killer moves that it made to change his mood in a snap! And I was playing my favorite sport basketball there in same ground. I know I am attractive at all my ages for people but never thought I would be so attractive for a dog also that it chased me in my every shoot. Finally it did pounce to give me a kiss. U c every great love story begins somewhere.. But mine was a packet of complication.


He then saw his petite in trouble … he at his loudest slid across the floor landed on my shoe and stared ….U fatso…it my bro dare u hurt him… I really wanted to stamp his face than the dog’s first..Damn.. I was perfectly ok in my curves.. The blind moron called me FAT?? After the huge thump, he couldn’t make himself to stand once on the floor! Gosh I fell in love for my strength … I knew… just knew he was my scrape goat for the day … but his loyal dog was frantically chasing me to death .Option less , I had to throw the hard granite stone pieces at the mad mongrel. But who would expect that even stone aims him.


I sensed something is gonna bounce back in the situation, just ran back home as fast as possible...


Five minutes later, he was at my door gaining sympathy from my mommy and nursing from my beautiful sister. Then he was shifted to my bed to relax. GRRRHHH… Sooner I realized him to be my sister’s class mate and eventually being my sister’s crush or rather put it other way round. I dared not to face him, at least not to be brutally harassed by my sister. Ever since that day, I avoided walking in his purlieu, be it school or home.


But truth never hides and trust me it leaves it utter embarrassment. Of course later the sigh of relief would also be there....


When I won the juniors inter school basketball tournament, whole school was around me congratulating the success, which is when I had to encounter him again. Hey! Congrats! Vikas here , Head boy . We are proud of u. There I sensed the sarcasm and the taunt.. I just din show it up but smiled timidly to thank him. From nowhere my sister appears to introduce. I tell u sisters are like red alerts to death.. Ufff… that was the nail biting moment. C’mon I was almost pissing in my pants that the bloody Dennis, the Menace (that is how he and his bloody bitch are better) would speak up. Ironically, after a thump he might have got lil brains in right place. He must have realized the fact that to impress a beauty the way is from the beast .he neither spoke anything, in fact gifted me a box of chocolates.


Years from then, we have been the partners in crime and of course the best buddies over a coffee.


Yesterday, we celebrated our 15 years of amity with a deal. And only he could tell you about it. Thanks for the best time and also falling for the “elope marriage rumor about yourself “and also the BELGIUM chocolates....


I hope you all too had a great weekend too as mine with a super funny “Ra-ONE movie “. Separate post on that till then c ya…J
