Every once in a while things happen that leave you ..... if i may say so, flabbergasted.
Sharing one such. So i'm walking on the pavement outside my showroom and as i pass the next shop i hear
someone calling out my name....not once, not twice ...but thrice (the decibel and angst in the voice increasing each time). I turned around and i see this guy, who i know by face but have never spoken to beyond a polite
greeting , as neighbours would. He has some sort of a speech impediment as is evident to me as soon as he's through with the first sentence. His teeth are spaced out and due to the stuttering there is collection of excess saliva around his mouth, which i am fearing can shoot out any moment! He is at work dressed in track pants a sleeveless t-shirt and sneakers. And he grabs my hand to shake it with gusto and says "H-h-hii j-j-j-charannn..That's uurr n-name right? I always r-r-remember but then i forget. Hower yuu? " I replied saying "Good..how bout yourself " To which he starts out on what might be the longest reply to that question in the history of the world!
He said "I'm good ya I was working for a corporate for 2 years to get corporate experience Then i went for doing my diploma and after that i did my MA first class and will now be joining mba at National college Matunga and after that i wanna do my PHD." (all this with stuttering and salivating)
I took a step back and tried to ease my hand from his grip as my first instinct of self preservation. He was breathing heavy and his eyes had widened as if he was speaking to a fellow human after a long while.
I had to say something....something that would end the chat and enable me to walk away from Mr. Iwannatellyoueverything. So I said "That's remarkable!"
To which he says "Yes it is cos its like something is goin in all the time and thats a way to keep you distracted from someone I lost no need to say who but you know its always better to do something and keep ur mind occupied as you know something is always coming in its better than crying over the love of my life my honey who left me for someone else and has 2 kids even....but you know its better to do this than sit in a bar and have alcohol and im not suicidal... yet. And 'WE' are not the kind of ppl who will drink away and drown in alcohol i come from a decent family just like yours and i am not going to take revenge on other girls jus because she has left me na"
(stuttering,salivation and speed of sentence reaching maximum capacity!)
I am running like hell in my head.....In reality im....Flabbergasted.
