Pep, room-mate # 3
Narmada # 137, post lunch:
One afternoon I woke up from my routine siesta to a rather unusual conversation between my room mate, Pep and his class-mate, Rakesh.
With overflowing emotion I overheard Rakesh as saying " Pepsang (that's how this guy used to call him) you know our senior Mr. xyz ( Sorry, I couldn't recollect his name) he got accident and now is in coma and he's going to di-e-e-e-e....." He couldn't go any further...sob... sob.. If that was in celluloid he could have atleast won critical acclaim, if not best actor award for that performance but it was real and I was and is not rich enough to dole out cash or give award. So sad and sadder. It sent a shrivel down my spine and it almost moved me to tears.
But to my utter horror and amazement I heard my roomie blurting nonchalantly " I-don't-care, people-die-everyday".
All this (that) while I was pretending I was asleep but not following this (that), I got up laughing my ass out. Such indifferent attitude... hahaha :)
