PeeApoo

Since I have written this post on "Why Me?", I try to live up to what I preach and stop saying "Why Me?". But some incidents do not stop people around me to take notice and say - "Why You Apoo?"

22nd Jan, 2006. Abhi and I head out to watch Zinda. Once the movie is done (which BTW, is a really good movie), Abhi walks out, lead by Me, to the rest room. At this point, lets split this post into two different views.

-Abhi's side of the story-

So Apoo heads off to this pee section on the other side, hidden by a wall, while I am near the wash basin, splashing water on my face and combing my hair (which, these days is a very tough task).

I hear this flush noise, which sounds kinda weird and someone go - "WOW". I wonder why someone would go "WOW" as he would pee (I mean, imagine looking at your pee-pee and saying - WOW!).... but the whole scene is hidden by a wall between the wash area and the pee area.

Then I hear Apoo behind me, saying, "Abhi, look at this" and I turn around to see Apoo drenched with water (I was hoping it was water) waist down. Pants all wet. Like his waist down was hit by a hurricane. I could not help but think. Apoo pee'd in his pants!!

-End Abhi's side of the story-



-Begin Apoo's side of the story-

I head off to pee while Abhi hangs around in the wash area. Now am sure all you ladies have visited a mens loo once in your life. If not, in any case, am sure you all know about those famous stand-up booths men use to pee away. Let me not go into the details of the pee, but lets move to the point when I am done, all zipped up and like a good citizen, ready to flush.

Now usually a flush in any pee-station would work in a gentle fashion. Spray out gently like a water sprinkler, gather all the pee in its current and then drain away. Here, things were different. When you hit the flush, it was like the dam of a high capacity river opening up. It was like the 37 inches of Mumbai rain, but all of the water coming out of the flush in 2 seconds.

So sploosh. The water crashes into the pee station, and splashes right onto me, of course, with my pee as company. So here I am standing all drenched, waist down, while the chap standing behind me goes - "Wow"

In an utter state of shock, I walk out to the wash area and say, "Abhi, look at me"

- End Apoo's side of the story-



Abhi: "Dude, kya hua?"
Me: "Man, the flush just flushed back on me. This is like, I peed on myself man"
Abhi: "Hahahahahahaha"
Me: "Abbe, gimme, paper napkins or something."
Abhi: "Dude, they are out of 'em"

- Silence -

Abhi: "Hahahahahahaha. Why does this happen to you only man?"
Me: "Brighter side. Thank God you are not a girl. Imagine walking out like this to a girl on your first date."
Abhi: "Chal, lets go"
Me: "Dude, this is still dripping wet..... *grin* ok, lets go"

And we happily walk out of the FAME ADLABS mall. I got a few whacko kinda stares, and I smiled back at them, which made them think I was surely whacko! The auto-rickshaw guy kept complaining that all of Mumbai was going dirty and he can smell piss everywhere.

I agree. Only if people flushed!

Be a good citizen. Always flush!
