Bakra

Scene1:
Actors: Aimless Wanderer and Mr.Anand
Venue: Cafe Coffee Day, 100 Ft Road, Indira Nagar
AW is fed up waiting for someone at CCD. Suddenly from nowhere a guy Mr. Anand turns up and starts the conversation.
Anand: So you too are waiting for someone, saw you drinking coffee alone.
AW: Yeah, my friend is on his way.
Anand: hmmmmm..........male or female
AW: Male (Why the hell this idiot is acting too courteous)
Anand : You look like a North Indian................Where are you from???
AW: Lucknow
Anand: What a coincidence, I’m from Varanasi............gr88888...and then a flurry of questions, which college, which company, since when you are in Bangalore where do you stay. Blah blah..........blah................
And while leaving.............Can I have your number...............poor AW gives him.........
Scene2
Actors: AW (in spectator role), AW’s Body Builder Friend (BB) and Mr. X
Venue: Technical books section, Landmark Shop, Forum Mall
X: Are you a Java Developer
BB: yes
X: which Company
BB: Wipro Technologies
X: Oho......I work for Mindtree Consulting........... Can you suggest me a good book for EJB
BB: (being a java freak, loves to teach and criticize MS), starts his gyan session and goes on and on......
X: Have you done any certifications................
BB: yes.........(now he is not gonna stop) ,I’m a SCJP, SCWCD and SCBCD (and I never read from dumps............Mr X is clearly impressed ,at least pretending to be)
[Now when the colonial cousins have struck a common chord conversation becomes casual]
X: Man you have a great body , do you work out regularly..................Many times I tried to regularise my work outs but all in vain.........Give me some tips...................(beta ab ye nahi rukega)
BB : (goes on and on and AW scratching his already receding hair line)
[aur chalte chalte]
X: Can i have your number please, I too need to write some certifications......Will you help me with that
The Culmination:
Scene1:
AW gets a call on 1st of January...After all the happy new year and greetings.....comes the real issue and that too in a very impressive language.......Actually AW , me and some of my friends are doing a business apart from our regular work and we are being supported in this endeavour by many IITians and IIM guys (In India , this happens to be the best way to impress anyone) . Actually we merchandise products to consumers, not in fixed retail stores, but through person-to-person relationships between business owner and customer. (AW trying hard not to abuse anyone on New Year day..........................somehow gets rid of him)
Scene2: My Body Builder friend gets a call within 2 days..........and after some SCJP Gyan the coin dealer in disguise emerges from Mr.X who is out to sell a 8k coin for 30k because it has Pope John Paul and Mother Teresa inscriptions on it .(Sounds interesting)
Conclusion:

One of my friends who is an Amway veteran says “No body does this for daal and roti ppl do it for sweets and chutney” .(well taken but i can’t digest it)

I don’t have anything against these type of businesses but I definitely don’t approve these type of stupid tactics. I’m sure many of you will be having many other similar stories to share and I won’t be passing a judgement on whether it is right or wrong because it may offend some of the fellow bloggers...............
I WOULD ONLY SAY "NOT MY CUP OF TEA"
