Oh dear...

No, this is not a post about the vermin that has infested our society, corruption etc. Please do excuse my sense of humour, which is no different from a 10 year olds..But this is what I overheard recently:

A bunch of ladies, just chilling out at a parlour... about 3-4 of them. The centre of the conversation was this who I'll call the Punjabi Hen. Anyway, PH was narrating all her aches and pains and the other ladies would 'cluck cluck' and 'hmmm' in harmony at exactly the right moments...

ANYWHO. THEN.. WHen I had just started getting my eyebrows done.. she drops THE bombshell

PH: Pata hai, mujhe naak ka problem bahut rehta hai. Kuch din pehlay doctor nay drops diye laganay kay liye....

PH: kher mera nose itchy tha... i would scratch it and forget abt it.

PH: phir main bathroom gaye.. naak ko DEKHA aur mere naak say KEERAY NIKAL RAHAY THAY

Other ladies: 'Hawwww hayyee'

Me: *sound between a gag and hysterical laughter*

PH: 'Nikkay nikkay chittay chittay Keeraay' ( small small white white insects)

Me: *starts planning exit strategy even though only one eyebrow had been shaped* - I think I also tasted some vomit..

PH: 'Haan doctor na kaha kaay naak aik cavity hai, keeray par saktay hain...

Me: *WTH!*

By this point I couldnt control myself and was laughing, albeit silently. the lady shaping my eyebrows saw my shoulders shaking and she started laughing too.

ofcourse there were more pearls of wisdom:

PH: bus dekhain na, Jism toh keeron say bana hua hai

Me: *snorts with laughter accidently* , get a dirty look

PH: kisi kisi kay toh DIMAGH MAIN BHI KEERA HOTA HAI

THAT was the straw that broke the camels back and i ran out of the parlour and laughed my head off, with people thinking... Okaaaay shes mad! When I had calmed down, I came in, let the lady finish shaping, paid and left.

I really think it is SO important us women have SOMETHING to do. something better than to sit at parlours discussing INSECTS .. that too in their NOSE. I mean, thats just news for me?! WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?! HOW is the human body made out of insects, aunty, PLEASE do tell me. Or is this some kind of evolution I haven't heard of? Or maybe perhaps shes a zombie from 'The Mummy'. I just cannot make sense out of it. Any doctors out there to verify the truth of the statement? or ANYONE! Ive never heard of such a thing and Im disgusted ( yet highly amused) for some odd reason...God help me..
