It happened one fateful night, no day, ok let that be any
time. I mean it had to happen one day or the other, as one was trying to sneak
in to the ‘Kat’ bungalow and the other sneak out- this now infamous encounter
happened in the Chameli Garden between 'Barfi' and 'Gur' (Molasses)
Gur: How dare you come here again? Do you have no fear of
breaking your bones?
Barfi: Gur bhai, remember, that though you have more raw
power but I too come from a great lineage, so back off.
Gur: Don’t you know I have fed this firangi cow with all my ‘Gur’
and now that it is time to get ‘barabar’
and then you want to take away all the milk.
Barfi: Have you ever heard about a 'Gwala' getting the milk?
Gur: I’m not only the ‘Gwala’ but also the ‘Rakhwala’. The
whole flock calls me ‘bhai’ of course I find it very odd when some birds pick
up their clothes from my vanity van and before going out say – “When can we
meet again, bhai’? Ok- forget that, it’s besides the point- Beta Barfi- you get
out of this angle and better behave yourself.
Barfi: Bhai…..err…….Sir, I know you are strong and sticky
but there is no harm in sharing, you know I’m so lost after that K brand Coffee
spilled on me.
Gur: Just back out from this one, I’ll give you printout….ok
that will be too much. Being human- let us save the environment- I’ll give you
the list in a USB.
Barfi: (Suddenly goes mute) and starts telling in sign
language that he can’t, takes out his heart and places in front of Gur
Gur: I have to put the fear of God into this cutely cut
rhombus- starts pumping his muscles. Don’t you know how much is my market demand- I sell by tones and my turnover
is hundred crores every year.
Barfi: Yes, I know- the whole cattle world needs you and
even the flies stick to you so lecherously.
Gur: (For the first time, slackens, looks despondent and starts melting)
Barfi:On second thoughts, I’ll be
generous Sir…err…bhai. Mom will be proud. You keep this Kat, I’ll take the black lady.
(Disclaimer: All ‘Gur’ fans, no intention of hurting you, when
it comes to basic instincts- ‘Gur’ works fine but if it is your wedding- ‘Barfi’
has to be served.)
