'Luna'tic Bus Driver

It was my friend's marriage in Pune. All of the gang started off a bit early and reached pune from bangalore / hyderabad. As I live in Mumbai, it is reasonable for everyone to expect that I can be late (you know).

So I started from Mumbai, thinking that it's going be just 3 hours. So I can chill and all. But when the bus started, it went in such a pace that it never seemed like it's going to make it. The Money mongering bus fella, stopped even when a buddy on road raised his hand just to scratch his head.
I'm sure, you would think that the bus must have been some non A/C or an RTC bus.
If that's the case, I'm sorry to disappoint you it's a Volvo bus.

All of the friends who have reached Pune, started calling me up thinking that I should be the one who must reach first. Silly Friends.
One of the guys, who is pretty excited about his new learnt Marathi catch words,
called me up and said, " Kuthe (कुठे) * ??"

As I am pretty good at Marathi (you know), I thought the guy called me "Kutthe" (कुत्ते , the Dharmendar vala word) as I couldn't make it on time. I was relieved that I could somehow reach Pune. And the guy at pune says, "Within this time, you could even come on a Luna** to Poona !!!"

True to the core.



* कुठे -- something like where or where are you (in Marathi)
** Luna -- Click on it.
