Broken Heart @ Kolkat

I wrote this to make fun of my teammate, it is written as if this happens in our office's guest house in Kolkata where we stayed.

Broken Heart @ Kolkata

"(Actor)Surya had come to our guest house", Amudha (the target, my teammate) came running into our room announcing. She was gasping for breath, unsure if it is out of excitement or running. Sitting in some remote place of Kolkata, the info is completely irrelevant. Ram said, "Amudha, I still see your head in place and I believe there is some brain left yet to be substituted with clay". I added, "Ram I expected this, I saw some nuts lying unscrewed around her place". Frustrated Amudha, "Come-on guys, see it for yourself". And in a subdued admiring voice to herself "his eyes, his style, his accent" and in a louder voice to us "Come-on".

It was a figure that for sure had escaped the cremation fire halfway. Irked with that when we turned to her with aguish questioning look, she told feebly "I forgot to add 'The Black Version'". Yet a better twist was awaiting for us in store. Like Rajini swirls his fingers before any punch dialogs, on his right "Sastralu", on left "Sambradhailu", and in mid "I'm Nagu" and with a pause, "Name you" leaving us confused. She interjected explain us "he is asking your name".

During dinner I asked, "How come you can understand him". Amudha replied cleverly, "He is also from Andra", "But, if it is telugu it makes sense, How come you understand his crap English". For that, and for the first time we realized she can bliss. When I turned to Ram, he simply told me, "Love is blind".

When Kalpana (another teammate) saw Nagu for first time, poor girl met his eyes unwarned (bulgy eyes, hazardously exaggerated by his nerdy spectacle lenses), she fell unconscious. On analyzing her doctor told, "nothing to fear, she had encountered something really scary".

On another day, when asked about his work on a casual chat over a tea, he "I rule four people (means: he got four people to work for him) , one project in shirt pocket another in pant pocket, can what I doing, (means: what can I do) manager beg (hope no more translation is required) , I go America, I go Singapore and I go now Kolkata". Listening these Amudha sat there unmoved, moved by his stature. On his heights of explanation while gesturing he struck a tea cup to fall, breaking it. Housekeeper charged him for that.

Nagu says,"Theater guy charged me 10 rupees for Broken Arrow movie"

"Housekeeper charged me for Broken Cup"

"But Amudha didn't charged me for her Broken Heart"

"I like her, her like I" , "Ha" a pause, "Ha" a pause, "Ha" a pause.

cheers, :-)
