Anecdotes from my Mahabaleshwar trip


[The four people squatting in the right corner are the ones involved in these anecdotes: [from right corner in the order of occurrence of faces]: Bhoobi, Vimal, JP and me.

I was suffering from food poisioning and had a serious bout of vomiting on the 2nd day morning. I was talking with JP. Sharma was also suffering from food poisoning.

Me: Dei JP, Sharma edho powerful maathrai vechrukaanaamae...Naan adha eduthakalaamnu irukken.
JP: Avanukku dysentry da...
Me: Oh that's serious...Naanaachum nadu roadla vaandhi edutha vaaya roadlaye kazhuvikkalaam.

The talks were still around my state of health.

Me: Dei, enna panninaa vayithla irukadhellathayum full-aa vomit pannidalaam?
Vimal: Soap solution kudicha ellam velila vandhudum.

Me: Loosaada nee...Adhu constipationukku dhaandaa...
Vimal: Illada, vomit ku dhaan use pannuvanga

Bhoobi: Vimal, adhu constipationku dhaanda
Vimal: Illada, naan soap solution kuduthu parthirukken
Bhoobi: Appo andha patient thalai-keezha paduthirundhruppaar!

p.s: One other guy was doing pranayam during this conversation and it goes without saying he had a hard time controlling his breath as well as laughter !
