The best thing about men of steel is that they have nothing to do with steel ..nor do they stand solid as a rock ...especially if they live2eat on choley puri on platform number 3 at nizamuddin ..
..but the best thing about this mythoillogical oddissi is that it has nothing to do with men of steel but something about platforms strangers and street side joints where men/women of steel spend their time slurping chai from the provincial saucer...
One such place was where i spent my 365*23th evening ... not that i was born here but the best thing about ...it feels great when some one with a fat wallet sits with you making important.. intellectual..invigorating and metallic {note the strong steely feeling} conversation about how the length of trusses {or is it tresses or simply hair} of the pretty lady driving the repainted fiat and stopping by you asking th latest score on the b/w tv set dangling from a run down cloth hangar in a run of the mill road side dhaba ...and then the "chai" escapes the contours of the saucers to take a dreamy sojourn down the pipe and into a muck laden drain next to wall which says " dont piss here".. and the guffaw which emanated from a bill board mentioning item number 37 on the menu as "chicken sweet COM" takes a violent angle with "bhejetable chew men's"... the fiat is gone so is the chai .. whats left for a beggar like me is a fat wallet to pay Rs 5 ...only thing is Ghanshyaam doesnt accept HDFC or AMEX...
ps: is it hdfc or hsbc ? i hate these corporal buggers ...or is it corporate?
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
