FLASHBACK!
We were happily cooking, one Friday evening when the doorbell rang in a rude way which indicated the presence of an unwanted intruder in our evening bonding time. This began a frenzy of WHO will open the door since all of us were quite inappropriately dressed. So Sheryl grabs a jacket on and opens the door by which time the person outside has rung the bell 10 times. The owner’s son stood looking absolutely livid outside the door, and began screaming at us for putting the motor on and not switching it off. Since it was truly our fault, we began responding in an apologetic and reasonable tone. Yet he continued to raise his voice which made me lose my temper and yell back. Finally Sheryl stepped in, signalled me to stop arguing after which the moron left.
Present day story
7/8/2010
What happened this evening made me realize that moti bhains is not the only weird soul in this world whom I can absolutely not understand. The owner lady’s son ( I somehow think the law of equal distribution of parent’s genes in an offspring completely skipped this family. He is his mother’s copy. Quite sad really). Anyway, the owner lady’s son(hence forth referred to as OLS in this story) comes ringing the bell. Just once, unlike his usual way of ringing the bell a dozen times, which made me think my darling husband maybe back with 2 pairs of pretty white-grey socks for me ;). Alas, wicked are the ways of the world, and there he stands.
CONVERSATION BETWEEN ARCH AND OLS
Arch: looks enquiringly. (is too pissed with him to offer any pleasantries)
OLS: what happened last night?
Arch: THINKS: “ummmmmmm”........... LOOKS: *ummmmmmmmm*
OLS: Who came here last night?
Arch: THINKS: “you did!! Duh!” (thoughts running in her head. “is this guy a twin? Maybe he’s the good twin and it was the evil twin who came and fought with us? Or maybe he’s suffering from MPD.? Yeah that explains it”). LOOKS: *ummmmmmmmmm*
OLS: We heard screaming. Who was screaming?
Arch: THINKS: “yes u heard screaming u ghaas khate hue gadhe! (translation. Grass eating donkey). WE were screaming at each other remember? (“maybe not MPD. Maybe he suffers from ghajini syndrome? “) LOOKS: *ummmmmmmm*
OLS: Around 12 or 1 in the night? What happened?
Arch: THINKS: “oh finally! NOW I understand” LOOKS: *realization dawns* SAYS: Ohh that!! Yeah, we had an unwanted visit from god’s biggest mistake (read lizard), so we were just giving it a fond send off.
OLS: “ohh ok! We were worried . thought it won’t be right to come knocking at your door so late in the night!”
Arch: THINKS: “yeah right! Where was this etiquette consideration when you came banging on our door at 9 in the night you Litchi! SAYS: “OK”
OLS: “If you ever have any problem, do come and tell us”
Arch: THINKS: “will do. The day moti bhains weighs 50 kgs.” SAYS: “OK”
OLS leaves, arch goes back to making dosas.
Jini wakes up disoriented as she had fallen forbiddenly asleep while watching some hindi movie. As she had woken up, she quietly went to do some nature-calling and went ahead to the dark eerie balcony to wash her hands..and as she was approaching, may I add WITHOUT her glasses, she saw a black looking thing move in front of her and stand upright... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! She went as she cupped her heart ...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! went the black looking thing and realised it’s none other than Arch, wanting to wash her hands as well after eating her well-made dosas. !
