Tea Break

Tea Break

It was during one of the tea break while on a short course that a gossiping session was on during which after sharing some jokes the topic converged to sher shaiyeri (Lyrics and poetry). There were some officers who were fond of urdu and had a bit of knowledge on the subject so resorted to this subject with interest. With this some got bored as were finding it difficult to assimilate the words. To poke in the discussion one of our coursemate, DK started off with the following,

“Kuttey ki poonch pe kutta,
uski poonch pe kutta,
uski poonch pe kutta,
uski poonch pe kutta---------“
(A dog on a dog’s tail, another dog on his tail, another dog on his tail, yet another dog on his tail----------)
Hearing this Khurana lost patience as was getting impatient to hear the outcome hence interrupted,
“Hey what are you babbling? Do such talks at our level look nice to be discussed in the company of matured people?”
He was immediately replied by DK,

“Woh chod balance dekh” (Leave that see the balance)

Everyone burst out laughing.

DK continued further caring for Khurana’s sentiments,
“OK for your sake I will narrate another one as per your maturity level”
He continued,

“Woh gayee kabhi Delhi, kabhi Bombay,
Kabhi Calcutta, kabhi London,
Phir Canada , phir Moscow.
Palak jhapktey aa gaya Bangalore
Mera dil bhi gaya saath mein uske,
kabhi idhar, kabhi udhar
Pata nahin kidhar kidhar“
(She at times went to Delhi, at times to Bombay,
At times to Calcutta, at times to London,
Then to Canada, then to Moscow,
With a wink came Bangalore,
My heart also went along with her,
Sometimes here, sometimes there
I don’t know where)

Initially Khurana thought that he is describing some of his airhostess girlfriend with whom he is in love but when he realised that the words are going haywire he asked him,

"Then what happened to your Dil (Heart)?”

DK answered immediately,

“Woh chod speed dekh”
(Leave that notice the speed)
