Superman’s Dayout…………..

Another day in life went by…….yet another page in the book of my life flipped over……Life comes at me fast, real fast.

Late in the evening… sitting relaxed at a Mexican Restaurant waiting for dinner…I was lost in the thoughts of discussion on Malgudi Days. We has a very enjoyable discussion on Malgudi days today… Several Facts were uncovered….

*Malgudi was unwilled from Mal of (Mal)leshwaram and Gudi of Basavana(gudi). During RK Lakshman’s stay at Bangalore, he use to commute between Malleshwaram and Basavanagudi everyday in bus…..

*Malgudi Days serial was shot in English first, and each episode is just of 25 min…..yes 26 whole minutes of life in it

*Most of the original Malgudi Days videos are there in video.google.com

*Many decades after it has been written, Malgudi Days still has good readership across the World. Barns and Nobles a Gigantic Book Seller in US stocks copies of Malgudi Days...meaning they have assured sales of this book in the age of Television…truly unbelievable …..

I was lost in the thought of Swamy and his math problems…….Ting Tong buzzed the bell at the restaurant…… “Superman, your order is ready!!! You are all good to go” announced the teller at Restaurant. The Restaurant which was jazzy with lots of noise became lull for a moment…then everybody started laughing…I tooo laughed…. got up from couch collected the packet and walked out of the restaurant

In Flashback…I had waked in to the restaurant full with hunger (oohhhh...yipee.....oxymoron)….

Cashier: Good Evening Sir…..What would you like to have today ??

Madhav: Good Evening…I would like to have a Veggie Fideo….it needs to be a bit spicy…with jalapenos and lots of green pepper (Pepper is our Smila Mirchi)

Cashier: Would you like any drink with it Sir??
Madhav: No thank you!!! I am pleasant without a drink

Cashier: Please have a seat Sir. How should I call for when I am all set with order…..

Madhav: SuperMan with a giggle

Cashier: HA HA HA ..Are you sure…….???

Madhav: Yep !!!!!

Cashier: Man this is Crary !!!!!!!!!!!

Madhav: May be….but I don’t want my name to be called wrong…. so I prefer Superman…….look at my Credit Card,,,can you read out my name please….

Cashier: MAD….HaVE…AAA………………...PRE…..CASH……….

Madhav: Now that is wrong…..its better you use use Superman……

Cashier: I am sorry for reading your name incorrectly ….Sure Sir I will call for SoooooopeMan……..and a broad smile……$ 3 please Mr. Sooperman….

Man Americans are cazy…..I am trying to help them out…..they call me crazy……Next time I will try more Indianized names like Bora ...Muniya … Mama …. Machhaa ….. MagaGabber....;)
Ohhh hold on.......I have an Idea....I like my idea.......Why not i try.... "NANU GOOBE"....."NANU KOTHI"........this is awsome.......I will make the teller call himself Goobe and Kothi......this is cooll....I cant wait till morning.......yippee yet another great idea.....
