Family Matters

Scene: Bee returns to an empty home( that is being renovated)from work after a long day. Feet propped up against the day bed with his laptop trying to finish up some work (or so he claims). Door bell rings. Stirs, annoyed he opens the door. Two men standing outside with a.
Man 1: "Sir ye bed deliver karna tha. Deeri hogaya"
Man 2: Stares
Bee (Points to the room where the bed is to be placed) "Waha raklena" Irritable goes back to working on the comp.
Man 1 and Man 2 place the bed and stand beside the main door discussing something with great seriousness and looking at Bee. Man 2 urges Man 1 who finally hesitantly come to Bee and says
"Sir kuch chai pani dena" (Meaning give me some bakshisk/ tip).
Bee (who is always gnerous, but not too good with hindi and implicit meanings in the language)annoyed at having gotten home late and tired misses the implicit meaning and with sarcasim dripping says " Aree mai ghar mei akela hu, kya mai jakar thu logo ke liya chaai bana du?"
Man 1 is stunned. Man 2 steps in "Sorry sir. Good night" and run away.
Scene :Pizza is watching the tele. There is a break and ads start up. The owner of Country Club flashes on the tube (since he believes in starring in all his adds- which pizza didn't know!). He grins and says some "countrt club wabi blabi klabi Dubai" (county club opens in Dubai or some such thing).
Pizza is astounded. "Where do they get fellows that look like that? And why do they make them star in ads?!"
Well Pizza "wabi blabi" cause he's the star!
Bee goes to the dentist and is worse for it. He's home and he realizes that the session hasn't gone too well considering post the filling his tongue is bleeding owing to his problem tooth having become sharp? Or the filling come off? In agony he telephones the dentist. He is greeted by the receptionist (who is more interested in painting her nails as opposed to taking down appointments). Bee says "Hello, I just met the Doctor. I think the filling's come off I need to come by because my tooth is cutting m tongue. It's bleeding and it hurts".
Receptionist with profound advice "Ayo, you just don't eat with that side. Don't talk.Yella ok then tension yake?"

nice imagination.......maybe u could have given the bee a diabetic disorder and given him a very long time of bed rest...........then that damn bed of his would come to use!!!

Ahem just for th record guys bee is one of the most good looking guys i know- a majority of the female population also seems to think so (and a lot of guys too!!!)- he has teeth and charm and everything! and he happens to be my brother (unfortunately the good genes didn't come to me !) and pizza is my sister- so this was really not a piece of my imagination :) so guyz...........

hey that makes things easier to grasp!!! no offense meant..

well, u may think the country club guy is quite a bore and equally boorish.

but with that cheap publicity he is atleast being talked about.. and frequently he is contrasted with the other baron- vijay mallya

i cant think its coincidence as after u blooged abt it, in past weeke atleast 3 times it came up in conversations with different contexts!!!!

ha ha country club baba amar rahe!!
