My Time with Os@m@ - I

When I first got the insider report that a certain 'Talwar' guy with khatarnaak academic credentials - includinfg a 100 in Maths - was going to join us in class 10, my first reaction was that of murderous rage.

With topper of (absurdly high marks waale) toppers Amit Sharma already in my class, and Srivatsan and Hari easily bagging the remaining spots in the top three, I was already hard off. Considering the fact that us waqt mujhko aur kuch aata hi nahi tha, any further addition to this venerable (execrable?) list of competitors was guaranteed to raise my BP (blood pressure, not to be confused with Bharat Petroleum).

I had been told he was tall (6 feet), but there was no more mention of his other physical attributes from my source - Deepak Choudhary. Consequently, in my growing fury, I proceeded to remark that "Is Talwar ko to main kaat ke Chhuri bana dunga".

What I had said in the heat of the moment came back to haunt me for weeks after Puneet first came to school.Upon my witnessing his 'impressive' vital stats from point-blank range, imagine my predicament when Deepak Choudhary - acting as a (paid?) escort for the big fella' - gleefully reported my aforementioned statement, along with an accurate rendition of my threatening physical posturing at that time.

Main to jaan bachake bhaagne ki koshish me tha. Luckily, the big guy shrugged it off.
