We Are The Knights of The Round Table

Being a compilation of small incidents involving the Knights and those in our circle.


Two of my friends are waiting for the light to go green at one of the busiest squares in Pune. Signal goes green, but the uncle in front of them is not even seen trying to start his bike, and they are trapped in bumper-to-mudguard traffic. After waiting some time for the person to show some activity,

My Friend: Uncle, can you please go ahead? You won't get a better shade of green than this here.

-----------------------------

One of our Football Ignorant Friend (FIF) is watching World Cup with us and My Friend's Dad (MFD). There is a penalty from just outside of the box, and the team starts forming the wall.

FIF: Why are they holding hands there?
MFD (in all sincerity): So that they can make sure the person next to them does not run away when ball comes at him.

------------------------------

We are discussing with one of my friend's wife-to-be (WTB) that we won't be able attend their marriage as all of us three (out of group of 4) are out of town (and country, in my case) that month. She gets angry and

WTB: We won't attend your marriages now.
My friend: That's ok. We will just dangle a bone in front of him1 , and he will come2.
WTB: That's not correct...
Me: Yes, that's not correct. He is in ortho. We will need a broken bone.

------------------------------

We are discussing the looong lines to fill the engineering admission forms.

My friend: I was standing in one spot for so long, that my feet gathered lichen on them.

------------------------------

One of our friend's cell is erratic. She is telling me and my friend who is a captain in Army.

My friend: You won't be able to dial his number. The "9" key is broken.3
Captain: That's easy. Just dial 5 and then 4, or vice-versa...
Me: Spoken like a true Army Captain and a son of mathematician...

------------------------------

This can only happen on the round table... The Table has seen many such days, and will see many more in the years to come, when we know that "stomach splitting due to laughter" is not a fable.

We Are The Knights of The Round Table....


Footnotes:
1. Like the famed carrot in front of... you get it.
2. He is studying for his orthopaedic MD.
3. In India, all cell numbers start with 9.
