THE MALE VERSION OF ENGLISH
VINGLISH-FINALE
One evening Mr.Dad , with wife and kid in tow went to dine in a swanky
new restaurant that had just opened up and was frequented by many celebrities
of the city. As they were about to order their food , they heard a shrilling
sound of a woman calling out the first name of Mr.Dad, this voice sounded
familiar, as if they had heard it many times before…….
A face appeared from behind,
oh my god it was nobody else but the prettiest (also most popular) TV presenter
of the City, she used to host a very popular kids entertainment programme and
was the favourite presenter/star for the kid (Mr.Dad’s son)….
It turned out that Mr Dad
and Ms.TV Star were college buddies and GOOD FRIENDS almost two decades ago.
For the child the father was suddenly a hero who was his PASS to meet his
favourite star. Ms.TV star gave the kid a peck on his chubby cheek and said
YOUR FATHER IS THE FUNNIEST MAN I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE……
The family returned home but
all this was too much to handle for the 8 year old , he could not sleep the
entire night, his DAD was friends with the prettiest woman in the city, how was
that possible and what did she mean that he was the funniest man that she had
ever met, was his father a funny guy in college? What had happened to his wit? Was it still there?
A month passed but the child
was still searching for answers, till they again ventured out to what else
another eating joint in the city, the speciality of this joint was that had
special entertainment programmes for weekends and today was an evening of
comedy where some of the well-known stand up comics were to perform in front of the
diners…
As the family took their
seats they were excited about the performances that lay ahead. The organisers
had decided to keep the session interactive and had also arranged for few
fillers where people from the audience can participate…
When
the master of ceremony announced that if someone from the audience wanted to do
a filler for 5 mins, the kid shouted MY DAD MY DAD MY DAD. There was cheer from
the crowd as they liked the fact that someone had volunteered.
Mr.Dad got up (he could
never say no to his bundle of joy), but as soon as he reached the podium, he
was transformed into a different man, while he was sitting as a diner, he was
like Bruce Wayne but as soon as he got up on the podium he was BATMAN, he
cracked jokes like they were sitting in the right pocket of his dinner jacket,
the audience were thundering and clapping as if JAY LENO was standing in front
of them, they wanted more of this NEW GUY who was funny as hell…
The wife and the kid could
not understand what had happened in the last 30 mins…………………….
Today Mr.Dad is one of the
finest stand-up comics in the country with performances across many cities and
he goes by the name , you guessed it MR.DAD.
