RECENT FUNNY INCIDENTS !?                                                                              My wife accompanied me ,one morning to the nearby Heritage Fresh super market by walk with my bicycle as a walking stick for me that day.The usual daily errand is my job.After purchases of groceries including a sweep-broom,we paid with debit card.Well before my bill was ready ,my wife got out in her quest for a paid auto to fetch the heavy load.Considering it a chance luck to get one,she does it and all the while ,i was not aware of this effort..Having noticed the auto i requested the boy in HF to carry the bag to auto rickshaw.
Well,she left and i was to follow with my bicycle.But to my surprise and later consternation,the sales girl asked me to wait for 1 for 1 free offer and came with "sweep-broom"that was! I had to figure it out as to how to carry it on my sports cycle,without a carriage.I planned and tethered it to my cycle main frame with a string i could secure with much difficulty from HF.
                    In the noon of the same day, my daughter"s new mobile phone was to be activated on number portability from Airtel to Idea.The new sim inserted in the handset.The process of activation required one prescribed norm. On getting Idea lines"may i help " service to the customers-,asked us to narrate our address.My daughter done so,they asked her to repeat it 2 to 3 times saying ,address is incomplete without lane name!.There is no name as such .They rejected to activate it.we failed  to understand ,what they meant.On contacting the marketing manager ,he repeated our address from his records,wherein ,land mark given by us,was added on with another land mark by him to the effect -"lane adjacent to DC show room".Earlier during our futile efforts ,we in fact said lane "after DC S.ROOM".Funniest part of it was ,they took "adjacent" as lane name,that is their knowledge of English language.Finally on contacting  Help desk once again, the connection was activated much to our relief.These days ,nobody can be without "a phone/cell phone".
            Later in the evening we three were laughing it out.
