Sultan

I just loved this pic. This picture actually reminds of a story that Yash told me.

For the uninitiated Yash is my bestestestest friend. So this is the story about SULTAN.

Yash's bhaiyya (bunty bhaiyya) had a colleague, and by the way yash told me he seems to be quite a boaster. So the Colleague bought a doggy (not a puppy but a doggy). He named him SULTAN(yeas he totally believed in royalty and his dog deserved nothing less then the king's name himself).Anyways this colleague started boasting about his SULTAN in the office like hell. Sultan is this, he is fearsome, and he is adorable n all that, which kind of kindled the fire of curiosity in our bunty bhaiyya's tiny little heart.

So one fine weekend Bunty bhaiyya, just set out to satisfy his curiosity. So he finally reached that colleagues (I hate calling him colleague again and again plus the spelling of colleague is difficult so the ease of the writer lets call him "pingu" :)) place. After some normal ‘chai panni’ and a lot of formalities and no no and insistence n all that, Bunty bhaiyya finally asked pingu"ummmmm, where is SULTAN"(I feel like calling him "The SULTAN" now).

Pingu very proudly called "SULTAN, SULTAN".Bunty bhaiyya waited with baited breath for The SULTAN to arrive, but the door just slightly moved and nothing happened. After a while when he could take it anymore, bunty bhaiyya asked” Is sultan busy, why isn’t he coming”.

To which pingu replied "What's the matter with you, he is there right in front of you" and he pointed bunty bhaiyya to the floor. And when Bunty bhaiyya looked at the floor he noticed something crawling there. He saw a dog, no larger (yeah I would use larger) then a big mouse there on the floor. He was just three finger above the floor and was looking at bunty bhiyya with full resentment as if saying "Don't you challenge my capabilities, the showroom might be small but the godown is loaded”.

Even with a lot of effort Bunty bhaiyya couldn’t control his amusement or amazement and smiling he said "I hope you don’t have mouse in your house coz they can beat him up", which he found neither amusing nor appealing to his taste. He made a face and said "You guys don’t have the etiquettes of raising dogs". "In houses and apartment such dogs are more viable. Those big dogs are for farm house. This is the IN thing" he said looking at SULTAN and beaming with utmost pride.

Bunty bhaiyya didn't say anything but returned back but next day pingu had a real tough time in office with him and SULTAN's story doing rounds in office.

He gave the same reason to everyone (yeah that farm house and house difference) but as they love and office knows no reason. So it went on and on till one day, when pingu arrived in office and declared that he has sold SULTAN, which to his irritation made an even bigger new :).

Any ways, bunty bhaiyya and his colleagues had a nice time at pingu's expense for months and the story made me laugh like hell. Not that I don’t like such dogs but naming him SULTAN, seriously what was he thinking :)
