The characters and incident in this blog are NOT fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely deliberate.
No offence to the heavily accented people, however, the hilarity of this incident has a basis on the accent…to be precise the Mallu enunciation! :o)
I am changing the name for identity safekeeping and let’s call this man as Mr MA (short for Mallu Accent)! And the victim as Ms. TG (it’s actually her initials...but say the short form stands for Target Group :o)
Anyways…so let’s depart from the marketing aspect of my blog and get back to the incident.
So Mr. MA decides one fine weekend morning that since he is from Kerala and new in Mumbai, he should take a tour of the city of dreams and decides to ask Ms. TG for directions. He calls her up and the conversation goes as follows:
MA : Elo Tee Gee, dis is YumAe kalling. I wand to gvo to Joooo, haaw do I gvo der?
TG: (after decoding this piece of colloquy) Where are you now? And where in Juhu?
MA: I yum yat Vaashee. How do I gvo to Joooo?
TG: (realising that there is no point in asking where in Juhu) You can take a train from Vashi to Wadala. From Wadala take a train to Andheri and then a taxi to Juhu.
MA: Thyankyu TeeGee, yiff I gyet loast I weel kall you byack!
TG: (thinking that the worst is yet to happen) ok. Bye!
Anyways, TG got back to her chores and after a cozy hour or so the pain began.
MA: (with enthusiasm oozing in his speech): TeeGee, I yum yat Joooo were are my yanimal friends?
TG: (wondering why MA is addressing his friends as animal) WHAT???
MA: I yum yat Joooo were are my yanimal friends?
TG: dude, how do I know about your friends? What are you talking about?
MA: (Losing his patience) I yum yat Joooo were are my yanimal friends. Layans, Tiegarss, Deeerr, Mongey? Were are dey?
TG: (widening her eyes as the tunnel of confusion saw a light at the other end) Are you looking for a ZOO?
