Friend in Disguise...

Hello everyone…
Thank you all for such encouraging comments..

Till now,you must hav got an idea about the white elephant….(my B_ss)…

Grt response from u guys....

U all motivated me to write down about few more interesting characters I encountered in Raipur, So here comes the other one...
This is for a person about whom nobody has written and I guess nobody will ever write in future...

But u know what makes me feel at the top of the world...?? It is…to sit in the office, write on ur blog and sip tea, which is sponsored by the bank....its simply a dream come true…

So... about the new man....

He (Yadav ji) is just a mango man (aam aadmi), just like us. I dnt know his full name and never tried to do so…can be a bit riskier… u will get to know how...??

He is a pan-wala, whose shop falls on my way to office(just 1 km run)...And I am a regular visitor mostly after my dinner... He is the person aging approximately 40yrs of age..and my first pal in Raipur....(better to say a friend in disguise)

At the third meeting on Sunday I asked him about his home town he replied “hum chapraa ka hoon bhaiya” then I said....toh Raipur mein kya kar rahe ho...?? pat comes the reply “wahi jo aap kar rahe hain maharaj”…he meant “earning livelihood…”

Then the hidden philosopher popped out of paan-walah...neglecting his prospective customers.... Just like the magical gin from Aladdin’s lamp...and stated his most favourite line “pait hai to bhait hain” (we meet different types of persons in life only to feed our stomach)... I said favourite coz after few days I found that he utters the same words to every person who asks similar questions...Suddenly a thought striked in my mind...that i came across 40 professors(approx..) in my academic years and not a single professor had told me those words ever... yet mom says “dnt stand in a paan thela”...how to make them understand these sort of things....so I decide to keep mom’s advice aside and start to explore some new horizons of life...

After few days, when the ice was broken between us ...I used to acknowledge him by saying “Yadav ji SA RA RA RA……..” don't worry guys I also dnt know the meaning of this statement....just picked up the line from a very famous bhojpuri song played during Holi...but noticed one thing, that whenever I call him by saying so, he starts blushing…and says “KYA MAHARAJ KYA SA RA RA…..HUMRI MRS…TO CHAPRA ( a town in Bihar) MEIN HAI…”

But he is a very humble guy ...I spent many weekends just gossiping with him....
“Kehte hain na doobte ko tinke ka sahara hota hai"...and he was just that tinka in my case during my initial days in Raipur… when making friends was not a very soft nut to crack….


As of now, the situation is changed....every morning when I am on my way to office most of the time running late, he starts screaming arey “MAHARAJ RUK TO JAIYE…THODA SA RA RA TO BOL DIJIYE...”

And then I say shaam ko milte hain Yadav ji....

Till date I visit his shop regularly... and make sure to say him "sa ra ra ra" as it makes him blush and I manage to have some fun...

The other colourful character in my life...Yadav ji...in Raipur…did u like him???

What do u say....???

Will be waiting for ur replies….

Luv u all...tak care... "SA RA RA RA......"
