Sethi Sahib Proposes a woman

Well if you have read a posting about what women think about Sethi Sahib then you must have figured out the enormity of the statement made above and if you have not read it then I would suggest reading it first so that you can enjoy this post even better.

The statement above will have the same level of shocking intensity in Sethi Sahib’s world as the statement of Musharraf saying Kashmir being an integral part of India.

In short, these are something’s that can never happen in Mr. Sethi’s life, but to my surprise it has happened and given below is an interesting account of the story when Sethiji had proposed a women for first and only time.

Well, to begin with I come from a very prestigious university which apart from giving top notch academicians and professionals to Indian society, has also given many of the country’s biggest politicians. Simple reason being, its located in the political centre of India, the student politics too is equally lively. So whether you want it or not after every two months you have thousands of students being taken to Vice Chancellor office to protest against one cause or the other. Many of us don’t even know why we go there because for us it’s a mass get together of all the college students at one place and you have a chance to look at the latest fashion and the hottest chicks on the campus. We call these bi monthly outings as Dharna.

So on one such Dharna, Sethi sahib along with one of his friend nicknamed Kaadu by his classmates decided to go there. Kaadu is a tall, dark guy and had dressed himself handsomely for the occasion. After all, it was in such Dharna outings, you got to meet gals from other colleges. Kaadu was looking for lady luck to smile on him and Sethi Sahib as usual were interested in the eloquent speaker and his speech.

Suddenly, something stuck in Kaadu’s mind, I would not say stuck but instead hit his mind like a thunderbolt. He turned to me and announced, “I have got enough of your anti –women stance. Today you will have to propose a girl and find out a bhabhi for me”. I turned to Kaadu, are you crazy man? I thought for a while, “21 years and without a woman have taken serious toll on Kaadu’s mental abilities”. But he was serious, damm Serious. He has pledged not to let me go before he has found a girl for me. I don’t know what made him do that but yes he gave me every reason on the earth to have a girl friend in the next half an hour ,screeching at the top of his voice quoting from Adam’s Garden to SRK’s latest flick. The crowd which till now was hearing what the Union’ President was saying, had now suddenly turned and staring towards us. Before things go more awry I gave in to Kaadu’s demand and told him “OK for our friendship sake I give in, but you have only my name to use and rest everything will be taken care of you”. Kaadu’s expression changed as if he has taken the Tiger Hill back from the Pakistani Army. He was ecstatic and immediately proceeded to make arrangements for this historic event.

The first step was to identify a lady or as Kaddu would say a Bhabhi for him. From hundreds of female present there he selected a fair looking smart lady that I would have to propose. The lady was wearing a red cheque shirt and blue jeans. What stuck me most about her were her Nike shoes and believe me the shoes were really good.

One of the most expensive pair I have ever seen. Anyways shoes apart Kaadu now wanted me to write a letter to her. I simply told Kaddu, “boss this is your show, you will have to do everything and I have only my name to give you. And moreover if I write, I bet nobody on this earth would be able to understand what I have written because of my amazingly bad hand writing.” Kaadu got the point, he immediately arranged for a paper, pen and wrote a letter that would have put even Dan Brown to shame in writing cryptic puzzles. Sample the contents below “I know u r the best and best deserve the best but what about the rest who wish to have the best but have to put the dreams to rest because they themselves are not the best.” There was much more crap like that but I will stop here as I don’t want this post to be torturous for my dear readers.

Anyway with girl being identified and letter written by Kaadu and signed by me ready, it was now the time for delivery of the letter. Kaadu started marching towards the lady, a la Aamir khan in movie Mangal Pandey. He handed over the letter to the lady and then pointed the lady towards me. And before I could grasp what was happening , I saw Kaadu running like hell towards the scooter parking , he was waving fanatically towards me and asking me to do he same . I sensed something dangerous and I too made a rush towards the parking lot and what I saw there was something that can take a shit out of man. Kaadu was being chased by a Dark heavily built man. His unkempt long hairs were falling on his heavily pimpled face as he rushed towards Kaadu with a iron chain in his hand. That Boxer looking man was that lady’s boyfriend and when I turned back, I saw two similar clones of that boxer closing towards me.
I ran like mad, Kaddu by now has started his Baja Chetek, I still wonder how the hell he started that rickety piece of metal in single kick which till date has required at least 20 kicks and equal number of swear words to start. But I guess when it’s a question of life and death you got to make things work. Kaddu Skidded the scooter in front of me, I jumped in the pillion and speeded away from the campus. It was only after one year that we gather the confidence to return to main campus for a new Dharna meeting.
