Nirma

Another story about my colleague AR. Today as we were working with great focus on our individual projects, a colleague of ours K ventured into our area. She was wearing this cute dress over a pair of  jeans.

K happens to be on the healthier side. In our country, most ignorant fools simply call that "FAT". She stood behind AR  and began to behave like a little girl by spreading her dress and going round in circles. While she kept spinning, she sang the age old song from the Nirma advert which is embedded in the head of every Indian that grew up in the 90's.

For those who don't know, Nirma happens to be one of our very first detergents that came into the market years ago. It's just an inherent part of our culture. It was famous for its jingle and the spinning little girl in a white dress who became part of their identity. So, this is how it went.

K (singing like a little girl): "Nirma..Nirma...Nirma detergent tikiya, iske jhaaaaag ne jadoo kar diya"
AR: Bade pack waala. ( On a large pack, that is.)
 Then very meekly and discreetly he mumbles:
"K aur jhoot. Yeh dooni cheez kabhi nahin chupti." (K and lies are two things that just can't hide)

Glass girl

Soon after I arrived at work about half an hour ago, my colleague AR who sits next to me and is an absolute entertainer, let out one of his classic bizarre comments which had all of us in peals of laughter.YET AGAIN.

Tiny(as we fondly call her is a small framed, emaciated girl ) started troubling him by swinging his chair back and forth. AR was concentrating intensely on a project that he needs to turn in urgently. So, this is how it went.

AR: Aye Shaani ( smartie)
Tiny: Hee haa haa (still swinging his chair violently like an uncontrollable naughty child)
AR: Ayye Shaani, glass daloonga na toh andar hi padi rahegi poora din. (I'll put a glass over you na then you'll sit in there all day)
CHORUS: Ha ha ha ha hee hee hee ha ha ha.
