Stories Of Darbesh

Dear friends here I have come with lots of stories of Darbesh.
This thread will be updated regularly with real life stories of Darbesh.
He is a city dweller living in Bangalore for last one and half years. But with his daily activities he hase made this city joyous and best place to live for his friends.

So we start with his first story.

Darbesh the 4th Man

Darbesh is a Bengali sweet dish. It's so sweet that people like it very much.
Our Darbesh is also having a very sweet personality. May be he has become a man of 27 years but he is able to keep his mind set of a 4 years old boy.
He always try to learn by asking so many questions like a little child.( The bad part is he doesn't have enough patience to listen the answer for his questions! But that's a different story.)

But there is the question how he secured the 4Th place in the human history!

Once upon a time in the city of Bangalore four friends use to stay.
Dias, Max, Saki and of course Darbesh the great.
One night there was a discussion about great people of man kind.
Darbesh came with an unique comment. He found there were only three persons who were more intelligent then Darbesh. Names are Sir Isaac Newton, Galileo, Albert Einstein.

Other three were spell bound with answer from Darbesh. Finally Dias gathered some courage and asked what will happen if Darbesh has a son?
Darbesh smiled and said " You people will get the 5Th person in the world."

God!! he has secured his 4Th place for the future also!!!!

Buying car with Darbesh

One Sunday after noon Dias, Rob and some of his friends were chatting in his Rob's place. Max, Saki, Darbesh joined the group bit late. All were asking why Saki is not buying a car.
Saki was in a mood to never give up.
Max, "Hey buddy(Saki) why don't you buy a car?"
Rob, one of their friends said "Ya, can you do it Saki? I don't think you can buy."
Saki, "Is it? Do u think? See don't give me a challenge. I can buy it any day."
Some other friend "Huh who can buy don't say don't challenge me or all such things. Tell that you cannot make it."
Saki, " OK guys, let's go to the car show room right now."

People got stunned by Saki's determination.
Dias, "Think once again Motu, do you wanna buy it right now?"
Saki, " There is no second thought. I'll go now and buy it now only."

Max, Dias, Saki and Darbesh came out of Rob's place. They went to a show room who also sale pre-owned cars. But they didn't get a good deal there.
Saki was so determeinded to buy the car that they went to another dealer of brand new cars.

Here starts our Darbesh's smart activities.
One sales person came forward to help them. Then started an hour long discussion to get all information to buy a Maruti 800 car.
Dias, Max and Saki were sitting with the sales guy named Madhab.
Max, "See madhab, we are not looking for a good deal or a very good deal from you but we are looking for the best deal from you."
Wah! Wah! everybody was impressed with Max's comment.
Madhab,"Yes Sir, definitely Sir. Please tell me what car do you want to buy?"
Saki," We are looking for red color Maruti 800."
Madhab, "Well Sir, there is the car on display. Please have a look first. I'll give you the details of accessories and price and finance everything."
Darbesh, " Umm. what car is that?"
Madhab, " That's Baleno Sir."
Darbesh moved near to the Baleno. Opened the door and get into it.
Dias, "Dude, we have come to buy Maruti 800 not Baleno."
Darbesh, " So what, we need to know how does it feel. Anyway that guy need to sale a car. So he won't mind."
They had a look of Maruti 800 and came back to the table.
All started discussing about the deal and finance.
Saki, " Ok Mr Madhab, Could you please tell me which bank will provide the loan."
Madhab, "Yes Sir, we hav..".
Darbesh interupted." Mr Madhab, can we have some water to drink?"
Madhab, "Yes Sir." He told some other person to bring some water.
Madhab," Yes Sir, you have the option of citi bank."
Darbesh, " Is it possible to get it from ICICI?"
Madhab," Yes Sir, ICICI is also an option."
Max, "So, what will be the interest rate?"
Madhab, "It'll be something in between five point four to five point four zero."
Dias, "Are you sure you want to say between 5.4 to 5.40?"
Madhab, "Yes Sir, It'll be between 5.4 to 5.40"
Every one was looking at each other's face.
Max, " Are you sure?"
Madhab, "Sir, All these are difficult mathematical figures, I can't explain you. I am just a sales person but the interest rate will be between 5.4 to 5.40."

God!! What a difficult question it was.

Forgetting all these difficult mathematical figure they got busy to finalise the deal.
The place is needed to be described a bit. It was a circular table. Everybody was sitting on revolving chair.
Darbesh and Madhab were sitting side by side. Darbesh was playing with his revolving chair. He was revolving with the chair when all others were busy in the deal.
Others were busy on discussing on the accessories which will be available along with the car.
Suddenly Darbesh asked a question to Madhab.
Darbesh, "OK Madhab, how long will you take to deliver the car?"
Madhab was busy in explaining the accessories list to Saki, he looked aside towards Darbesh to answer the question of Darbesh.
Madhab, "Sir, it dep.."
Oh! Madhab it's too late Darbesh started revolving with his chair. In that fraction of second when Madhab tried to explain dependency Darbesh was having a joy ride with his chair. He was faced just opposite to Madhab. Madhab was speechless in all such action of Darbesh. He could not understand what to tell or whether he has told anything wrong.
The deal was finalised between Saki and a confused sales person.
Three cheers for Darbesh for his all such hilarious actions.

He has made the place different for his friends.

2nd class citizen!!

Don't go by the name of this article. I am not going to present you Indian political views about citizenship, neither it's a description of people suffering for lack of democracy in their country.

This is just a small story of our life what we have been experiencing in our life not knowing completely.
Indian government declared in the first day there is no discrimination between citizens of India.
There is no classification of citizens. But is it true!
I'll say the concept of 2nd class citizenship is present in every one's life. What you don't believe me!
Let us get back to 23-24 years back.

Year of 1984. Few children are playing cricket on the ground., ages between 9 to 13. Some one is bowling, some one is batting, some are fielding. Ooo see who is that little kid, he's only about 4 years. He just entered the ground and went to another kid of age 7.
"Dada, dada amay khelay nibi?" (Brother, brother will you take me in the game?)
"na na, tui chhotto ja to bondhuder sathe khel." (know you are kid only, go and play with your Friends) (As if he was already a grown up young man!!)
Mean while some one of this elder kid's friends have come into the picture.
"Let him be in the game, after all we don't have enough fielders, he can field for us. He'll bat 2-3 balls no prob, get him be a part of the game."
The little kid highly impressed about his brother's friend's wise decision. He is so good and allowing him to play with seniors. Wow!!

Alas! That little kid entered the world of 2nd class citizens that time for the first time.
He will have to field for the whole match in exchange of batting for few balls which won't be counted in the match. Wah India Wah! You will have the 2nd class citizens also you'll make them happy!
(Never think that little kid remained a 2nd class citizen for through out the life, the roll changed when there were entries of new 2nd class citizens :) )

Hours go too fast, days go fast, years have gone too but the class remain same.
Everybody knows the laws of conservation of energy, energy cannot be generated, can not be destroyed either, it's only changed from one form to other.

Same kind of law is also applicable for 2nd class citizenship.
That little kid is now a young boy, going to school, mainly for playing on the ground but if there is nothing else to do get involved in something called studying.

One day he realized he is nothing but a 2nd class citizen in the class.
Teachers ask questions in the class, give exams too. In no case his answers are well accepted as answers of top seeded students.
Some time he really wonders, how can this happen? His answer is better than the top seeded one's but it doesn't get appreciated. What could be the reason!
He is nothing but a 2nd class citizen in the class. 2nd class citizens do not have the privilege to get appreciated after answering right.
Who cares, it's so simple to lead the life of a 2nd class citizen. People have less expectation on you cause they think they know you. But when the judge doesn't know who is 1st class citizen and who is 2nd class citizen it's pretty easy to get success.
Who cares if he is a 2nd class citizen or not! After all he is enjoying the life.

On phase of life gets over another starts. Nursery to school, school to college and finally our hero get into the ground to win the hurt of girls.
But is there any 2nd class citizenship here to!
Let us see what happens next!

Amar Katha (My words)

Never thought of writing blogs earlier. It was not that I was unaware of this blogging but never felt interested about it.
As I am starting my journey in the blog space I would like to thank my one of the best friends I have blessed with Rajinder. His initiatives in the blog spot has motivated me to share everything I can do with my friends and others. His writings have brought a message for expressing myself once again. Also to brush up our old good memories, to share those incidence with everybody.

Hopefully I'll keep updating with anything interesting I face in my life or my friends' experiences in a regular manner.

So friendssssssssssssss.........
