Two months have passed by and boy it seems like I was caught in a time wrap and got catapulted to an obsolete world. People are talking about new movies kicking out the all time classics from imdb’s top 250 list and here I am trying to get tickets for the only movie that’s running in the only theatre of my village. Never thought a four year old regional movie of a 50 year old protagonist dancing with eighteen year old scantily clad damsels can attract people to theatres even after 4 years (Phew).
A little hope to update myself came from the 24/7 relentless news scrolling from the news channels. And of course the UPA NDA and other acronyms that want to rule my country made it a point not let these people rest
Anyhow the last two months of semi rural life has taught me few things
Those fantasies about village fights you know like the one in sholay, not true.
There is no concept called responding to blowing horn on roads here, best way to get a bovine off road, get down take a stick beat it. Best way to get a person off the road, do the same
When you are in a train get used to the constant squabbles happening around, as a matter of fact they are just friends talking.
When pharmacists tell you to take the blue pill in the morning white pill after lunch and red big one after dinner, he is no way assuming that you are an illiterate he just doesn’t know the name of the pills.
Finally when you tell your post man you can sign, it is for some reason assumed that you are doing so because you cannot fingerprint.
