A few days ago, my colleague who I have discussed before in great detail shared a highly entertaining piece of his brothers experience with us at work. To begin with, an absolutely absurd act on his part astounded me. However, I got past that to understand the deeper meaning that is Life. For those who can't understand Hindi, I am sorry but I couldn't possibly translate this. The nuances of a language are far too beautiful and complex to be translated. For those who do, imagine this coming out of the mouth of a 35 year old animated Bengali bachelor with an accent which is a mixture of British/ Bengali/ Hyderabadi cultures. Also, please realize he related this with great earnest.
A started walking around the office with a pair of track pants and t-shirt, trying his best to get people to smell them for a reason I couldn't possibly decipher at that moment. For I could evidently see that he had been wearing that pair for Yoga everyday for as long as I could remember. He duck-walked over to me and shoved the pair under my nose to my utter disgust.
A: "Arre...soongh ke toh dekh...arre dekh na"
Me: "Nahin...chee...how disgusting..you wear this for Yoga everyday na"
A:" Haan..lekin kuch badboo nahin hai...dekh to sahi..try toh maar yaar"
Me : (Pretending to take a quick whiff) "Arre haan ... nahin hai"
A: "Haan...Main ek mahine se yeh pahanu hoon (to a crowd that had gathered to witness his obnoxious behaviour) ...mere paseene mein kucch badboo nahin hai..."
Me: "Arre..evaporate ho gaya hoga"
A: "Paagal ho gayi hai kya...paseena evaporate thodi na hota hai...mere paseene mein badboo nahin hai...thode logon mein kya badboo nikalta hai...bole toh ekdum khatarnak badboo hoti hai jo hila ke rakh deta hai sabko...Ek baar mere jo bhaiya hai...uska na shaadi hone wala tha. Aur bhaabhi aayi thi na joh...waah..kya bhabhi the yaar. Bole toh, itni khoobsurat thi..aisa laga bhaabhi nahin, meri biwi hone ka tha usko. Toh bhaiya aur bhaabhi picture dekhne gayen haan..aur bhaiya ne woh corner waali seat book ki thi. Toh picture dekte dekhte..woh dono kareeb aaye, aur bhaiya bhaabhi ko kiss karne gaya haan. Jaise woh uske nazdeek gaya toh bhaabhi ke munh se kya badboo nikli...badboo bole toh ekdum dhansoon type ki joh behosh karke rakh de kisi ko.Baap re, bhaiya bhaag gaya udhar se. "
Me: "So sad ya.....toh shaddi nahin huyi kya? "
A: "Aur nahin toh kya. Nahin huyi shaadi."
Me: "Shit ya. Bad breath ki wajah se toot gayi? That is so sad."
A: "So sad kya. Woh shaadi thodi na hai. Yeh toh bina pappiwaala shaddi hua."
