Grey Matter

During my every day travel to my office some 20 km away from home i happen to meet so many kinds of people and so many different funny incidents happen.I would try to cover some of them over here in this category.

To start of with here is a story of a ‘may i help you’ guy, sorry its ‘i will help you’ guy.

Me and Mr.V a colleague of mine whose hobby includes ogling at pretty girls were at the train station at Thiruvanmiyur. Oh did i say pretty girls, its a mistake he ogles at almost any thing that look likes a female.Well that’s understandable when you are a Mechanical Engineer starved of girls in the class.Normally there wont be many people in the station.But today to our surprise we could see many pretty faces.Whats more many were pouring in too.They were all having a baggage or two with them.It was obvious that they were all going to their natives for the Diwali festival.We normally stand in the end of the station so that we could get into the train’s front coach which is very much near to the exit when we get down.I saw a pretty girl speaking over the phone and smiling at me.

me:macha did you see that girl was smiling at me.
Mr V.:yes da i too saw that girl was smiling at you!!
We didn’t notice the villain then.
Mr.V:those four girls seem to be of the same group da.

just then the smiling beauty got up and was walking towards us.She was still over the phone.She suddenly stopped walking towards us and took an U turn .She did this ‘walking toward and walking back’ for sometime.

Mr.V: i think that girl needs some help da…

The group suddenly started picking up the baggage and walked towards the far end of the station. The villain materialized from behind the group.Now did we realize that he has said something to cause this ‘disaster’(i am using Mr.V’s vocabulary).

The pretty girl passed us struggling to carry the baggage on one hand.Since on the other hand she was still over the phone.

Mr.V:May i help you to carry your baggage Mam..

no one heard it except me.(i was thinking how nice it would have been had she heard it i could have watched another comedy happen)
As she passed us we could hear her speak in hindi over the phone.Mr.V suddenly got excited

Mr.V:hey i speak hindi. full tick mark for me.

I had to say something it was me who the girl smiled at.

me:hey even i know hindi…see i can say..”may tumse pyar kartha hoon”

The girl had passed us by that time.
We saw that villain talking to another group of people.

villain:are you going to central?
some one from the group:yes
villain:you should stand in the starting of the platform its easier to go to central from the last coach.As soon as you get down you will have the over head bridge. so its easier if you board the train at the far end.

This group too followed suit. They started moving away from us towards the far end.
The villain did this ‘central?’ ritual to each and everyone.We were wondering what was the motive behind this guys i-will-help-you attitude. I having got interested with this action of this guy, started seeing him constantly perform the ritual.

me: hey did you see only the girls are moving to the far end.The guys are staying back even after hearing the whole reason from this guy.We could generalize the psychology here…most guys have this ‘who are you to say, i will do what i want’ attitude.Most girls are easy to mislead. See they instantly believe whatever this stranger says to them.

We started scolding that guy.

Mr V:This f***er sends all the pretty girls away from us.What are his intentions da?

me:Dunno..If you help if someone comes and asks you where should he/she stand in order to reach central soon its great.But if you go to each and everyone and command them– i don’t know this needs some investigation.

I really wondered do people like this exist.
And ‘the i will help you’ guy was continuously pursuing his mission.
