As I returned towards my car, I saw something. The driver’s side was on opposite direction as I walked, and a head plus mustache was popping out of the roof. I was quite sure that there was an uncleji standing trying to unlock my car. My head started working fast.
Why is he trying to unlock my car? Is he trying to steal it? Not a very good thief I guess trying to do that right in front of me. Ok wait, he’s too dumb to be a thief. Thieves are not dumb. My bike was stolen last week and the guy who stole it must be as smart as a PHd atleast. We were like 8th pass in front of him. So whats that uncleji up to?
Maybe he is just standing behind the car hiding from someone. His wife? Yeah, wives can be scary. But no. People want to hide, rather run away from them but usually can’t. Kids? Playing? Na. Not on this street. Look, his hand is in sight now. And there is a key. The key is in the lock. And he’s definitely trying to open my car. Damn the uncleji, I have a remote controlled central locking system. What does he know ? Remote Control hai mere paas.
No wait, may be its not my car. Aah, that gives the answer. What was I thinking? Dumb me. There is a similar car on side. Ye lo, that’s the one which is mine, not this one. Bechare uncleji faaltoo “damn you” kha gaye itni baar. Dhatt tere ki. Jao maaf kiya.
Smiley. Sigh. Wait.
I pressed unlocked button on remote.
Uncleji’s hand came to a sudden halt after, what seemed like a month of trying to open the lock. That was in fact my car. And lock opening sound has just shocked him. Petrified for like 5 second, he realized what has happened.
Back to his senses he yelled, “Oh! Arey!! Oye!!! Sorry beta !!!” as he walked away embarrassingly to his car, probably thinking “aage se itni kabhi nahi. Tauba.” … ;) …
Me and my friends had almost laughed our kidneys out as we entered our car … :) …

Hey dude,
During one of those nostalgic trips, I was searching for "Poha jalebi" on net and stumbled upon this blog.
I like your narration skills; reading this post, I found myself actually standing infront of that car with you.
Nice work. Keep it up!
