Strange conversation with a Manchester guy!!!
Time: about 1.00am
Location: Manchester city centre, Revolutions.
Company: Dnyanesh, Geoff, Gaston, Vanessa, Oscar, Oscar's Girlfriend (sorry girl I forgot your name), a table holding my JD and coke, etc.
Right!!! so on the aforementioned location in a rainy Manchester night we all are talking about the different things such as how cool the book called Shantaram by Greogory David Roberts is, and Oscar happily describing how the man at the counter was getting physical with him (although it is really important to remember that Oscar is quite a straight guy), and how drunk he is, and we all are having a good time.
Then suddently I guess the same person appers to be passing from the table where we all are sitting and having drinks, and this Gizzer started saluting to me, and started smiling. Well, as a first reaction I smiled at a guy because he was apparently looking pissed. And then suddenly this bloke came over the table and started saying to me (with really loud music on the background)
Drunk Manchester Guy: "how you doing mate?"
Me: I am fine, cheers.
Drunk Manchester Guy: Forwards his hand for a shake hand.
Me: I shake his hand.
Drunk Manchester Guy: (kind of whispering, but it was like shouting because of music on the background) Hey! Do you know that Liam is going to be here in 10 mins time?
Me: Cool!!
Drunk Manchester Guy: I can show you to him if you want.
Me: (bit surprised) No I am fine.
Drunk Manchester Guy: Common on.
Me: No, its okay I am having a good time. Thanks a lot.
Drunk Manchester Guy: (persuading me) well its just going to take 10 mins. mate.
Me: (getting irritated) I told you that I am fine, and I guess you are making other people bit nervous.
Drunk Manchester Guy: (Smiling awkwardly) What?... What did you say?
Me: We are having a good time and you are making other people nervous....
Drunk Manchester Guy: are you sure?
Me: yeah! very much so....
Drunk Manchester Guy: But Liam....
Me: I told you that that I am fine....
The Drunk Manchester Guy left the table......Looking back at the table after walking small distance..
Well I must say it was a kind of strange experience. And then for a long time and also on the next morning Gaston kept on having fun with the fact that I was almost close of getting luck with Liam......Where according to Oscar the reason that Gizzer came to me is because of the ear ring I wear on my right ear on the top, and according to Oscar that gives a wrong indication to pepole that I'm not only not straight but I'm more gay because I wear on the top part of right ear....Hmmmm!! not sure how this deduction works really?
""Wearing a ring (called Bhikbali) is just a part of Pune, Maharashtra, Indian culture, which was heavily around and then it suddenly disappeared in the hussel and bussel of the fast city life and modernisation, etc. etc. so I decided to wear it just to keep the culture in tact...""
The world is full of strange people and Manchester has a strange piece of memory stuck into my cognitive map.
Cheers
