INAUGUATION

PS: Cross posting from my earlier blog. Written on June 10,2009

PS : I had to write this … It’s been a long time coming across a funny incident like this

“Indrani…Grrrr Grrrr….. hey idiot Indraaaaaaaaaaaniiii…….” I heard at 7 in the morning as my alarm clock had exhausted it’s battery life. As usually I was in the US, sightseeing with Mr. Obama. I mean I was in my dreams. Lolz lolz “Abeee Oyeeeeee” someone screamed again.

“Who the hell is that nut head??” I wondered, rolled and dived like an Olympic Gold medalist into the ground bruising my forehead over the floor. I stood up rubbing my head to realize that I was in my bed room and my trip was over. In other words, the beautiful night was over.

“Dabba nan magane (useless female)…Grrrrr…Indraaaniiii” I heard again. I walked to the door and opened it to find Priya with her jogging gear on.

“Hi da, what’s up?” I asked which pissed her off like crazy.

“Bloody damn ass. We decided to go jogging today… Don’t you remember?

“Did we? Isn’t it late now? Can we go now?” I enquired in an American accent.

“Yes We Can” she announced like Mr.Obama. hehehehehe

I walked back still rubbing my eyes convincing myself that I was awake now and I was in India. I too put on my jogging gear on, banged the door behind me and said to Priya who was tying her shoe laces- “Don’t delay Girl. This is what I hate about you.”
She found a stone and pelted at me. Anyway, we finally hit the road, jogging all around Electronics City. As we jogged along, we discussed matters varying from national issues like- “If it was NIKE or REEBOK that was pelted at our Home minister” to local issues like- “The best strategy to irritate boyfriends lolz lolz .” She then noticed a street dog to her right and hence immediately shifted her position to the left of me. Anyway, we jogged along talking about this and that, though we were occasionally distracted by either very good looking guys or either very bad ones. .. How pathetic isnt it?

As the jogging had come to a halt and we were both puffing with our hands on our knees, we found a huge gathering a few meters ahead of us. The banner said- “Inauguration Of Nirmala Public Toilet.”
At first we thought, Mrs. Nirmala was the owner of this toilet, but then realized that ‘Nirmala’ meant ‘Clean’and not a name. As we read further we learnt that it will be inaugurated by a local MLA. And the most exciting and funny part was that free breakfast would be served after the inauguration. I was picturing a scene on my mind where Priya runs to the toilet and asks- Is the breakfast ready?

Priya who was standing with her eyes fixed to the newly built public toilet was lost in thoughts. I dint want to disturb her, so went to check out as to what was getting prepared for breakfast. Nice hot Kesari Bath was getting ready and I returned to Priya to convey the good news. Priya still stood staring at the public toilet as if she was staring at an ex-boy friend who’d ditched her and cursing him . She finally, slowly turned to me and said with a low voice- “babes, now I really need to go to the toilet.”

“Just by seeing a toilet??”

“Yeah Teddy. That’s my weakness.”

“How tragic!!”

“I’m going in. Urgent” she said and walked towards it. People were tying the ribbon which the MLA was supposed to cut for the inauguration. She pushed a 10 rupee note to a cleaner and entered the toilet from under the ribbon. Meanwhile I walked to the dining area and enquired as to when the breakfast will be ready. Meanwhile, the MLA had arrived and Priya was still inside the White-House. I climbed a nearby compound wall and watched the scene.

The MLA cut the ribbon and a loud round of applauds made its way. Just then, with ultimate grace, like in a fashion show, The GREAT Ms.PRIYA was seen walking out from inside and everyone looked with their eye brows hooked in amazement. The MLA gaped astonishingly and disgustingly at her in confusion. Priya mustered a shameless smile and even more shamelessly said- “ Nice Toilet” smiled and hurried out like a sheep.

Anyway, finally we had the Kesari Bath and coffee after which I had to visit the White-House. Later, as we were ready to leave, I announced- “We have just ‘inaugurated’ a public toilet in the true sense of the word. I’m proud.”

HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA lolz lolz loz…. Babes … days are really funny with you around….
