Man with million chaddis

Winter evenings in Bangalore can be quite pleasant. Good weather to enjoy a cup of filter coffee and discuss current events. Bangalore has lot of “KATTEs” where you find elderly reading newspaper or discussing stuff. The same concept is replicated in TV as discussion forums(minus the filter coffee though). One such forum was set up recently in an open air theatre in Bangalore.

Among the dignitaries was the man we know as “Chaddi” baron of India. He does not own a “Chaddi” chain; he does not manufacture them or sell them. But he is the recipient of the “Pink Chaddi” award. Yes, I am talking of Pramod Muthalik (PM), the distinguished personality who quite recently got the women of this country to send him pink “chaddis”. By now he must have collected enough “chaddis” for next few generations of his family. Nobody has to buy another one for at least another 100 years. Wonder where he stores them.

I remember reading a PJ forwarded to my cell phone. One rich man (name concealed) could not find a tissue or a hand kerchief to blow his nose. So he used a note of 100 for the above mentioned purpose. I wonder if that note is still in circulation and I am still very careful not to accept any starched note of 100. Any how that’s not the point; this PJ indicates that when you have something in excess you use it for all heinous purposes. I would be interested to find out what PM uses as his hand kerchief and wipe all those unmentionables.

We all know Muthalik’s views on Valentine’s Day. He and his morally upright vaanar sena (I hope I got the name right) have been watch dogs (or monkeys) of our society for the last few months. We have seen what they could do during their ‘respectful’ handling of women in Mangalore pub. He has been quite candid in his views with respect to Valentine’s Day. Till date no girl has ever proposed to him or fallen in love with him (too much of an expectation.. pity his wife).. So no girl has a right to fall in love or propose to any guy in this country. He will protest (read that as molest) anyone found celebrating Valentine’s Day. I am not sure if he has plans for gay couples celebrating VD (so I am presuming he will molest them too).

Valentine’s Day is almost here. So there needs to be a debate on this topic (there is always a debate on anything that’s hot and happening). A reputed TV channel set up this debate on a pleasant winter evening. Muthalik had to be there because any TV program needs drama. But I am sure the TV channel was not expecting the kind of drama that happened. They love it though, as they got more than what they expected. Three adventurous youth (not by age) found it convenient to walk and smear Muthalik’s face with soot (or was it pad ink). It was hard to make out any emotion on his face but he appeared to be screaming something. It was hard to hear amongst the commotion. But I think he was screaming…
