A Date with a 'Nira' vendor ……..

Awrite folks ……Lets get set for another whacky incident that occurred in my life !!! Sometimes , I wonder ……….. It probably would be an easy job for me to be a court jester rather than manage some 1000-odd lines of code in an IT company …Oh , that incidentally would be my job profile in some time now ! J Well , moving on to the main topic now … My date with a Nira vendor !!!!! hilarious , ain’t it ? people date girls , but I date the Nira man …. LOL .

It so happened ……..

A sunny afternoon , as I just descended on to my Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTS-I model , I realized that the seat was indeed Burning HOT !!! A 40 degree sunshine was all ready to burn my ass out ! Probably by the time I reached home , I would have a pair of roasted dundee’s for lunch ! Believe me ….it was that bad . So , to prevent this possibility , I decided to have a stop at a local nira vendor .(Nira is a juice made out of a special fruit . It needs to be stored in sub-zero conditions otherwise , you never know …You could get drunk . Its offered on the road sides and only in the summers . Also , it’s a government guided affair and hence at a little subsidized and uniform rates . See … our politicos also want us to get drunk ;) ) . Never mind , so I stopped at the Nira vendor’s shop and through my helmet I simply signaled the boy across the counter for a cool glass to quench my thirst . The boy quickly obliged and there I was gulping my first Nira glass .. For the next wo glasses that followed , I never found a reason to loudly communicate with the boy and let him know about my need . Once I was done , I again did the same thing , I simply signaled him for the total amount . Now , it had so happened that the earlier day too I had a glass of nira from him and since I was short of a 2rupee change , I told him (in my signaling manner) that I would pay him the next time . He kindly had obliged . Today my total amount was Rs.10 and the previous day’s Rs.2 so in all Rs.12 . When I looked at the boy , to my horror he just signaled me with animated actions that you need to pay Rs.2 from yesterday (this he showed ny waving his right hand animatdely in the reverse direction , exactly as you would do to a deaf person ) and Rs.10 for today ( this he again showed by striking a finger on his palm ! ) . I was totally in a state of shock … Not In a position to convince him that “For heaven’s sake , I am not dumb ! “ , I simply paid him the amount and zoomed away …. Now onwards however I made a resolve to talk to him each time I decide to savour his drink ! Lets see …how he greets me the next time ………......:)

Ever tried convincing someone for something that is not yours .......?? Confused ? Read along ..haha

{ I had gone to a shopping mall in my area in the morning . After shopping I came out and this was to follow … I sat on a pulsar and was about to put the keys in when suddenly a man approached me ..}

The Man : Excuse me , Is this your bike ?

Me: Umm, Yes it is mine .

The Man : (scratching his head , going around the bike) Are you sure this is your bike ?

Me: (a little confused , and a bit angry ) Yes , I am sure . Why do you also have a Pulsar ?

The Man : (even more confused ..) Yeah ! I do have one .

Me: (By this time I had started trying to put the key into the ignition switch , but
obviously in vain .It was then I realized that something was surely wrong. I then got
down turned around and checked the number plate and went blank ..hehe. )

The Man: He looked at me , and I did the same …silence for a moment …and we both
burst out laughing ! hehe ….


Well , the next thing I did was to search for my Pulsar . But then I realized that I had come walking to the store . Ha ! That’s all folks … Funny moments never seem to end .

ORKUT - you ROCK ! :)

Haha ! Its quite funny the way ‘we’ i.e, (possibly a 2 byte integer pointer to ‘guys’ ) add girls on ORKUT ! The most common tag line would be – “ Hey , This is a nice profile . Can I add you up ? “ or then , it could be like “ Hi there , was just passing through a great deal of profiles and suddenly caught yours ! BTW , you look really pretty in that picture . Can I have you on my friends list ? “ ..*LOL* , These are just a couple of the infinite ways we can try to get a female profile on our list … What ? Why do I say a female profile ?? Well , that’s because , if we add about 10 girls on the list , probably we would be in touch with only 3-4 and these are those hehe .. whom we could call friends ! Quite an offbeat topic to blog about ..yeah ! but then this thing really caught me today and made me laugh ..at all the guys and also at myself ! Infact you could also say that we are totally Persistent at the job .. At times we may not get a response , at times we are actually interviewed from the other end ..like “ Well , why do you want to add me up ? “ or “Huh ! Do I know you ? “ or then there’s loads of attitude for display …..”They just don’t reply ! “ . hehe ..

Well , that’s about it for this moment ! That’s all folks ! yeah ..and keep ORKUTting ;)
