FIM Series 1

FIM 01:

Scene: NESCAFE Area

The 'Dainik Jargon' group is walking down to their regular cuppa jaunt. Bhargav, Harsha and me grab their regular choco/coffee water only to find Su and ISD staring at a freshly setup outlet 

(u cud smell the paint but not their supposed snacks). An inspired Su takes charge:

Su: Chal Indira I'm having a Jalmudi, what abt u?

ISD: ok...I'll also have the same

Yours truly (astonished and chuckling): Nice...u both are the first customers at this outlet in the last 4 days since its been setup.

A round of sarcastic laughter follows. What also followed was a lady hiding her face and stealthily escaping from right behind us. She happened to be the co-owner of the outlet.

Impact:

The outlet was not to be seen for the next 3 days. It has now been shifted to another closeby location. 

I sympathize, she probably was excited by the 'crowd' at the store, till ofcourse the golden words struck like a bolt-from-the-blue. 

FIM 02:

Scene: Outside NMIMS library, 10:30 pm

The 'Dainik Jargon' group is ready to leave after a start-to-finish job on the Mkting ppt. Yours truly is ahead of the pack, looking to take a quick exit from the eerie library (Cmon..it was almost empty at tht hour tht day, pitch dark outside).

Enter a familiar looking human-trying-to-look-like-alien fancy dress competition aspirant. What else wud u call a t-shirt covered by an open buttoned full-sleeve shirt covered by an open-buttoned thick filmy leather jacket wid gell-strightened hair. Lets call him GS alien. This alien was not walking, he was storming into the library with a newly copied, irritating swagger (that cud be termed at best as funny depending on ur state of mind). 

After he races by, yours truly looks at the person behind and chuckles. The person behind happens to be Harsha. 

Harsha: (smiles and asks): kya hua?

Yours truly (shocked at how on earth cud sumone not see such a wierdo pass by): Abey dekha nahi...entry kaun mara andar abhi?

Harsha (Another funny face indicating he didnt...I cudnt believe this...which world was he lost in at 10:30 pm to miss it?): Kaun?

Yours Truly: Abey apna Shahrukh...

Still doesnt get the drift...

Yours Truly (Frustrated by now) : (aloud) GS...(followed by another chuckle)

The entire pack now turns towards the main exit door, only to see a stunned stoned bespectacled...(lets call him Center Shock Hair (CSH))

CSH looks wide-eyed at me, but is given a royale ignore as I walked past him (was stumped at such an out-of-the-blue bemused face). He looks at the first person available to entertain him (Roopam it was I think).

CSH (dazed open-mouthed wonder): GS? u'll are talking abt GS?

This was when the Eureka FIM moment struck as I neared the exit door. Everyone burst out mockingly and look to make a quick exit. The laughter is unstoppable.

Impact: 

I still cant figure out the bemused look on CSH. It seemed to me like a truly 'Eureka Eureka' moment. Almost as if 'Finally' someone recognizes the 'different' swagger and unusual outfits. Finally someone calls my dear friend something worthy...'Shahrukh'. Wow, swagger mission accomplished. 

(though I'm glad I dint supplement it with a few more choice adjectives)

FIM 03: 

(Due permissions taken before publishing, toned down drastically in view of the affirmative steps taken by the victim)

Scene: Room No 26

Praneeth (responding to the pile of 'chhaaping' assignments):  I wont mind a girlfriend who is atleast regular wid these assignments, atleast I'll have a ready source and dont have to hunt around like this.

Bhargav (lost in the assignment): Dude, u shd then get the topper in the class.

Impact: 

Praneeth is stunned and moves away from Bhargav. Bhargav has the Rego-600/60 look and doesnt know where to hide his mouth.

Let the series continue...
