The co-incidental Khosla and uska Ghosla!
'So have you seen Khosla ka Ghosla?'
'No yaar....really wanted to see it...but just happened to miss it', I replied.
'Well you should definitely catch it, I've seen it 4 times and its just toooo funny!'
'Well lets see...I like the song chak de phattey!'
Well fast forward 12 hours.....10:30 AM Monday morning....Parihar Chowk, Aundh, Pune
Vehicle: Metrolink Volvo
(Well I don't usually take a metrolink volvo - they are shit expensive! especially on monday mornings, but well i wanted to work on the laptop on a presentation while travelling)
Managed to bargain from 230 down to Rs 190/-
Which included a promise from the conductor's side that the bus will take the ghatkopar link road after vashi and it would be easier for me to reach ghatkopar, which is where i apparently hole up in Mumbai!
Anyways, bus rolled soon.....out came my laptop. Some interesting stares from people around. Wow! What a professional!
Naw...this wasn't for show-offing, it was a genuine attempt at getting some long pending work done.
Well as co-incidence would have it - The Khosla family decided to intervene and Khosla ka Ghosla started up in the small lil tv in the bus - with me sitting waaaay behind.
Well as you can imagine - the work I was planning to do happened to get indefinitely postponed.
Funny movie, definitely worth a watch....perhaps not when you are traveling in a bus with an important presentation to work on - but Boman Irani is too good as always. Some versatility that chap has. He's ensure he doesn't get stereo-typed with any role.
The Khosla tribe was pretty cool too......
Well rest of the journey was un-eventful - the bus didnt take the promised link road to ghatkopar, well got off at Sion and went off to office directly. So guess it was a good thing.
Will be off to IIT-Kanpur this weekend to batofy some gyaan to the junta there....so no mumbai-pune to write about but it'll be an interesting journey. We've not gotten AC seats so imagine traveling Sleeper Class in the hot UP-MP sun. Gonna get roasted!
Cheers!
