this subject is a little weird to start my blog with... meeting a man who repairs coffee machines doesnot make for an interesting subject... there isn't much scope for creating something out of it... well, i will be honest... there IS nothing to create out of it... 'll just state the facts...
So, here is how it goes... today at noon i was having lunch with a colleague... and there was this youngish looking chap working at our office coffee machine... 'maa da ladla...' - that was his cell ringtone... he picked up and i eavesdropped on the one sided conversation...
"... in some xyz office i had gone before there was a little hole in the coffee machine and rats would go into it destroying the machine... so, you know what I did?... i just took a 'kya kehte hain usko? jispe yeh office waale apni chaai ka cup rakhte hain?.. arree wahi jo chaukon hota hai...' (i wanted to butt in but decided against... wanted him to carry on the conversation)... khair... let it be... so, i took 'that' and bought 5 rupaye ka gum and stuck it on that hole... so no hole and no more rats... vo udhar ki madam boli 'kya idea lagayi hai' ... " and he smiled...
he smiled and so did i... think that's why smiles are infectious...
