On a day like this, we were driving down the roads of Chennai for dinner. Neither the clouds nor the pleasant breeze that brought along with it the smell of rainfall, helped change my mood. None of the usual stuff that helped shake off my bad tempers, seemed to succeed in coaxing even a smile out of me... or so the situation was until this happened.
While waiting at a signal, a brawl, that had gathered quite an audience, caught my eye(..there's something about miserable people attracting miserable people,na?). Looking closely to find out what was happening, I saw two people, an auto driver and a car driver snarling and making attempts to catch each others throats. There were loads of blows and swearing....and noise... horns honking and people trying to pull the two wrestlers apart...lots of action...And then all of a sudden there was silence...
Everything stopped, the horns, the impatient people and the fighting...And with the same abruptness there was an uproar of laughter....Why?
Because... all of a sudden a certain wrestler found himself airing his pretty hind, draped in nothing less flattering than polka dots, to a whole lot of people... i.e, his lungi had fallen off...
.......And THAT was what brought a smile to my face on the worst day of my life... it brings a smile even to this day... hope it helps brighten your day..
P.S: For those of you who don't know what a lungi is... It's a typical South Indian dress which the menfolk wear.. The easiest way to explain what it looks like is, is that it's like a wrap-around skirt... only in this case, it's the type men wear...!!
that's what shd always happen.
even in another instance, my friend and i were hotly arguing, and i mispronounced a word - aggravated i think, and i said 'agguitaved'and we burst into laughter...
that's what shd happen everytime
hahahahhahhahaha i shulda been there ... to cover ur eyes:P
hahahahaha. Too funny!!!
hehehe!
the funniest things that happen to me are during uma maheshwari's classes and yes! how could i forget Ms. jagatha suresh and Niramala...
What does THAT have to do with this post?
hahaha....
damn funny...i wish something like that wld happen when I'm upset...!
By the way, the apostrophy in "guy's" is misplaced, because you have used it as "one of the guy's" this is wrong, because guys without the possessive is in plural. Therefore, the apostrophe must come after the s.
...one of the guys' lungi fell off.
In fact, I'm not sure...
Is it "one of the guys' lungi fell off" or "one of the guys' lungis fell off"?
Somebody please help me out.
Kaushik
kogi when i'm saying "one of the guy's lungi" im talking about HIS possesion so obviously the apostrophy comes before the s....
by the by, do u think i could get away with killing you?
hey, nooo,
one of the two guys - so kaushik's rite. its one of the guys'. and its one of the guys' lungis, because the lungis are personal possessions of each of the guys. but that depends on if both of them were in fact draped in lungis.
ur dear frnd Pk asked me to write about the times tht make me laugh so i wrote it...u wanna ask how its related ask her :D
it is guys' because you are saying one ofthe guys'.
Consider a different object, say banana cake.
Without possessive, would you say.
One of the Banana Cake was most delicious, or
One of the Banana Cakes was most delicious?

...it's one of those things in english that'll never make sense.... 'cuz while im saying one of the guys, i'm also talking about that guys possesion, his lungi. So, since the statement creates ambiguity, it shudnt be used...
...hence, i've changed the sentence...
Now will kogi kindly comment on the post and stop thinking that jst because he'll comment on it, he'll be signing a declaration agreeing to the fact that my blog is better than his.... which it is not... so stop being stupid.
* long live the grammar king *
sorry for calling you kogi, kogi.
I'll use Kaushik... dhruva anna says so...!
any more complaints?
I like mengies lungies.
Thank you.
Kaushik
P.S. I do not know what that meant. Seeing people's lungis fall off is not something I want to see very badly, especially if it is a man wearing the lungi.
finally!!!! he comments on the post.... i might not have to commit murder after all!!
You need to edit another thing on your post. In response to my woes about your grammar, you have changed the lungi part, and now lungi isn't mentioned anywhere. However, you still explain what a lungi is at the end of the post. This doesn't make much sense.
