Early 2009...............vadapav became political issue ............ lehman bros ............. ramlinga raju.... subiksha ................ international financial crisis ............. lots of confusion ........ business stress ..... my wifeys health got affected ................... admitted her in to hinduja hospital in critical condition ......... three days later wifey started recuperating ............. i saw a new patient getting admitted in the next room .............. accident case ....... was hit by a speeding bike .....
couldnt see his face.......... his face was totally bandaged ...........was on a wheel chair pushed by his wife............within a few minutes of his admission his wife savitha dressed in jeans and tees came to our room ....... introduced herself..............she was in early thirties with two young kids ......... her husband was into trading business...........they were gujjus from borivili............she said he was in critical condition but he his now out of danger.............
hinduja hospital gives only one visitors pass per patient........she wanted my pass for her visitors ................. but the hospital rules didn't permit this....................security was very strict .............. since, i couldnt say no ........ I gave her my pass........... within the next .........few hours i heard lots of noises from the corrider and neighbouring room .......... suddenly the security manager came to our room and asked for my pass...........i told him the truth and took him to the next room..............
we were shocked to see the sight ............. savitha ben's husbands face was totally covered with bandages except for .... nostrils ...... one swollen red eye and mouth...........with one hand in plaster ......one plastered leg tied up hanging ......... white hospital pyajamas and shirt ................ looked like a egyptian mummy............ he was sorrounded by ten to twelve visitors in the room ............... all smuggled illegally by savitha ben tru various visitors passes ......
......we sniffed the air it didnt smell hospital........it smelt like mulund farsan mart..........my nostrils were hit by the aroma of dhoklas ......... .... theplas ......... khandvis............. the security managers jaw dropped as he saw middle aged gujju bens with over grown mammary glands and grand never ending posteriors ..... munching khandvi ..... theplas ....... dhoklas ......... jalebis .......... fafdas....... sitting around the egyptian mummy .....as if they were on picnic to egypt ............. some men ran helter skelter .................. the security personnel confiscated their passes ........... we found my pass with a
jignesh hiding in the staff bathroom in the corridor.................... the security person took us to the main security mgr complained about savitha ben and her gujju gang ................ took down their names ........... warned me and others not to lend our passes.................
as i came out of the hospital ........ after the commotion for fresh air............... i was looking at the beautifull sunset behind the bandra worli sea link just outside the hospital gate..................... my nose suddenly sniffed kakras and dhoklas ............... i saw a huge gujju gang in a toyota innova near the gate............ eating khakras ................. and my god it was savitha ben and her relatives ................. before i could escape savitha bens eyes fell on me ................ she screamed from the innova venky bhai sorry............... khakra khao.........sub bool jao...............
Venku Dear You are lucky it was a dry day I mean the snacks (SNAKES as Savitaben would say). I once heard a BEN telling CHATwala Bhaiyya "Aane RAGADO ane mane CHAAT". Just imagine what would your plight be if you started Ragda and Chhat counters at Goli outlets!!!
