Life Threatening!

Swati Punjabi goes clawing at Kiran Prakash

Kiran Prakash got the scare of his life when Swati Punjabi offered to treat him to an invigorating head massage this morning (ref yesterday’s post). It was a well-meaning offer, but to Prakash, this was nothing short of a threat to his very existence on this planet.
In fact, the fear was equally shared between the Club’s two other ‘bravehearts’, Dilip Babani and Siba Prasad Maitra (both in pic), the original targets of Swati’s attention. Cleverly they managed to deflect the threat. But Prakash had no such luck.

And when he saw two bare sets of claws advance menacingly towards him, he had no option but to beat a hasty exit. He simply ran and ran, straight out of the gate, not daring to look back!
Clearly, Swati had taken her photo yesterday too seriously. And with a reputation preceding her, just about no man in the Club would willingly lend his head to her ministration. Maitra has already had a taste of the merciless whiplash those steel-like hands can deliver in the guise of a back massage.

Dilip also played it safe by repeatedly removing his cap and exposing a bald pate, saying nothing would come of massaging him up there.
But to Swati, she was only doing them a favour – more so, when she was offering her services free of charge. (It was another matter, that she also needs the men’s votes for the Woman of the Year – 2016 trophy.)

Moreover wasn’t this exactly what Prakash wanted, going by his comments in yesterday’s post: “Demo with a male member will be more appealing”? Obviously, he meant some other male member and not being the sacrificial goat himself. But who was to explain this to an altogether determined and mistaken Swati Punjabi?
Meanwhile, Shekhawat reiterated that the picnic this weekend will be at Royal Hills resort – take it or leave it. Some people had remarked that re-visiting the same picnic spot was akin to “marrying an already married person” and accordingly Shekhawat had been making inquiries with some other holiday resorts. Apparently he has drawn a blank. And now he is not prepared to make any change in his plans – even if the picnic were to be scrapped.
