Accosted!

Why me??

This evening I'm minding my own business going for an evening walk with my music in not-my-ipod (:P) and enjoying myself, when this neighbor uncle stops me with a grin and a how-are-you.

Ok, so far so good. He enquires with concern about my foot (had a fracture a few months ago). He went on to tell me that someone in his family had to go through the exact same thing I did wherein surgery had to be done and a wire had to be inserted into the poor lady's foot.

Then he goes on and on about how he has spent the past week or two in and out of hospitals.

His wife's relative who is 66-plus slipped and fell in the bathroom. Her thigh was fractured and she had to have a knee operation. Then he said, "She cannot sit for the rest of her life."

Meanwhile, I was interspersing my comments with all these polite noises during the conversation and politely asked, "You mean she cannot sit down on the floor, right? She can sit down on a chair and such?" To which he replied, "Oh, of course, but she cannot sit down for the rest of her life, you know! So sad...but she can sit on the commode etc." (Excuse me Unkalji, I wanted to say, that's wayy TMI!)

Next, he narrates another incident of his hospital adventures of a man who had to undergo a prostate operation!!

But WHY was he telling me this??

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.....!

Yeh uncle log bhi na...uff !
It was so funny that I couldn't even patli gali se nikal jaoonfy :D
