Don’t you have mother and sisters ? Moron !!!

March 9, 2010

Year 2008…

In one fine morning, I received a mail from my manager in Sony, informing that, I will be visiting Sony Headquarters, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. I will be visiting japan along with the list of people given below:

1. Satheesh-san (Senior manager)

2. Sonali-san (Senior Engineer)

3. Saneesh-san (Engineer)

blah… blah..

Stay will be arranged in Shinagawa Prince Hotel , Tokyo .. aaha..!!!

I have started the epic journey from Bangalore Airport. This time, transit was in Hong Kong International Airport, one of the best in the world. In my previous journey, transit was in Singapore. So, I was pretty excited about visiting each and every part of the Hong Kong Airport. After that, we have reached Narita Airport (Tokyo International Airport) in time and reached the Prince Hotel in “Airport Limousine”: It’s just a bus , nothing to do with limousine cars :)

After attending the amazing annual International technology exhibition of Sony in it’s headquarters and some presentations in Osaki gate city office, we started our journey back to India. This time, Saneesh-san had some more activities to be completed on Sony Erickson office. So, me, Sonali-san and Satheesh-san started our journey to India.

In the way back, during transit at Hong Kong Airport, Sonali-san made a shocking discovery. While waiting for the HongKong -> Bangalore flight in Airport, she thought she lost her credit card. Though I tried to convince her that she might have kept the credit card  in one of those big suitcases, she started weeping.In my broken Hindi, I tried my level best to console her.

HongKong: The land of Jackie Chan… All those people, who are sitting besides me and whoever walking near to us were thinking something else :) .. For them, a lady is crying and a guy is sitting near to her.. both talking in a “pre historic language” . What he might have done .. All those eyes were asking the same question ” Don’t you have mother and sisters ? Moron !!!”

Sonali-san kept on weeping without interruption. Though I am an atheist, this situation demanded the help of gods. My mind started the process of optimally selecting the “God” who fits for this situation.

1. Ganapathy : Rejected.. No…no.. noo… I haven’t started anything new

2. Sri Krishna: Rejected.. No no.. I am not dealing with a number of women

3. Allah : Rejected.. No.. It’s not safe to think about Allah during international travel.. Learn from Shah Rukh Khan

4. Holy Spirit :  Rejected.. No.. though there are a number of “Duty Free” Alcohol shops

5. Jesus:  Perfect fit… here, I am crucified for something that I haven’t done..

One quick idea from God: I have opened my Laptop, booted it and asked Sonali-san to chat with her brother. Luckily, he had the contact number of Bank and along with the necessary details of her card. He made the necessary steps which was just enough to cheer up the weeping girl.

Based on a real story:

Only Jesus saves.. Everyone else make backups :)

  1. Hello.

    I would like to put a link to your site on my blog roll if you want to do the same for mine. It would be a good way to build up both of our readerships.

    thank you.

  2. ROFLMAO :-)

  3. Nice one. Again I really feel sad about you. When the girl is weeping standing near to you. Most of them will think that the culprit is the guy. I really liked the comparison of gods too. Cheers to maxin bhai.

  4. Hii. Maxin cheta…by the way, there is a -san associated with all the names…what is that?
    Sirnames??!

  5. Hi Jithu,
    It’s just like ‘sir’. In Japan, they treat people with respect. As part of that, they call names with “X-san”.. somewhat like “X sir”. Almost opposite to the culture in India :)
