Last month was fun. I made friends with few extremely entertaining
ladies and had a gala time with them treating our taste buds from small & big eateries around and also pulling each others legs.
One of them is an expat, who was born and brought up outside
India and recently relocated to India. I felt it was my moral responsibility to
be a city guide and take her for an exploration to make her too fall in love with Namma Bengaluru!
As part of the exercise, we were in Landmark where this book
titled, Satyajit Ray’s Ravi
Shankar kept on the shelf caught our attention.
Me – Do you like him?
Charu - Indeed yes; I have
read about him. He has even written a popular book, right?
Me – In fact, many. His
short stories are interesting and gripping!
Charu – Oh; are there scientists
who write fiction?
Me (confused) – Errr….scientist?!!
Charu – Wasn't he the
Prime Minister or something of India?
Me – Ab… Abdul Kalam?
Charu – I didn't know
there are many ministers in India with aviation background! Impressive, I
should say!!
Me - Speechless
Charu – By the way, what
is this cartoonist doing with him?
Me – Cartoonist? Who?
Charu – Isn't Ravi Shankar
the guy who created this ‘checked shirt dude’?
Me – R.K. Lax….???!!!!
Charu – I have decided to
buy this book, anyways.
Even without checking the
synopsis behind the book, she bought it and walked out of the store. It is definitely going to surprise her; a helicopter launch is probably what she expects turning every page!!

If what you wrote is real, then I think she is a "show off" (as if she just landed from Mars).
