Case of mistaken identity...

It has been raining heavily. Me and one of my frnd decided to take a walk around the place to get the first hand experience of the much publicized Mumbai monsoon.

As we step outside our shabby apartment, i was relieved. Yeh building giragi aaj,forecast my frnd.

Situation was real bad. Roads were water logged, acting as tributries to the nearest Nala. Most of the offices were shut down fearing another 26 July like event. Not many people were VEER enough to step out of der home and take a walk in this kind of weather. But both of us were finding open sky more safe then our about to fall, jarjar apartment or shud i say KHOLI...

We started taking pics from our Mobile phone fro our orkut profile :). And der we spotted one mahindra being pushed by 4 young kids in there early twenties. Out of instinct i started taking der pics having no idea wht is about to happen.

The guys were sporting enough to strike pose for us. My frnd started interacting with them as i stand a bit far from them.

After few secs these guys starting pushing the car again. And out of nowhere, one of the guy looked at me and shouted 'INDIAN JEEP - NOT GOOD WHEN IT RAINS'.

Indian jeep, ok it was indian. But why do he has to justify it to me. M i not indian. Or do i not look like one. Typical case of mistaken identity. And doston its not that i got these kind of reaction for the first time. I am very much used to these kind of stuff. From people asking me whats the train fare from Mumbai - Manipur to When will Nepal get its cricket team, i have faced all these questions and have answered them with elan.

One nice thing that has happened is that i was out of mumbai much before MNS started beating non-mumbaikars. They dont allow fellow countrymen to step foot in der land, just imagine what they would have done to a not-so indian looking person :)
