SwatikhaaaAAAaaaa
Prelude-Vipul is shooting in Bangkok.Just to let you know,the traffic in Bk is worst than Mumbai. And language is a huge problem,and the people here say “L” instead of “R”!Undelstood??!!!And they don’t speak they sing song. And when you ask them a question,or enact it,wit expecting nothing more than a yes or no. In turn,They reply with a “yaaaasssssss noooooooo” in the same breath. Leaving you with an objective Questionaire. Now you go figure what the answer is. The choice is yours.π€π³ππ
Ok. So,today I visited my husband at the location.He is shooting on a helipad.And now I’m driving back alone.Ada is in her car,and we are chatting on watsapp to kill time rather than killing ourselves.
So this is the chat-
Me-I’ve done something even stupider than coming to Bangkok,I’ve driven off from the location on my own,to go to terminal 21(mall),then decided to turn back to be with my family(they are still at the location)and drive with them. But now,I’m stuck on some road,which is 25 minutes from location,and forever away from our hotel,and a zillion light years away from terminal 21. I think I’ve moved 1mm towards Surat.π€π
Ada- Omgggggggg!!! 1mm to Surat???π³
Me- I want morphine!!!
Ada-We will meet at the movie’s premier,may be!!!π’
Me-Oh sh@*#!!!!the Blue dress,(we bought it together here)its in India! F*#@!! I Wont even reach For the premier.π
Ada-Blue dress,you should carry in bag at all times.Just imagine,important occasion crops up and it’s not there ,then?!?
Me-absolutely right,Ok bye I am going to Bombay,via Surat,and coming back.
Ada-I’m not going to ask you where you are!π
- Me-I’m near chinchpokli,somewhere!π
Ada-Now signal has occurred after 25 minutes!
Me-Signal???π€What signal???!!πAda- Traffic signal!ππ
Me-If I see any van that looks like a unit Van,I Wil jump into it. This man who is driving,is worst than “yeasssss nooooooooooo!!!!!” Doesn’t understand sign language,Brail,French ,Marathi nor German I’m so sc@*#@*d!!
Ada-They all don’t! Do actions!
Me-Not working,tried,he thought I was dancing!ππ! Obviously he has never played dumb charades.
Ada-πππ
Me- I think he’s mute!
Ada-I still don’t get why you went alone?π€
Me- Because I was bl@@dy going to T2!π‘
Ada-It gets worse ahead …just saying! Preparing you for world termination!!
Me- I hear Jungle Book-4 is releasing in 2019,we should be there by then!!!! Just saying!
Ada- Hey traffic moving!!ππ»ππ». Oh noπspoke too soon!
Me-I’m on sea link! Oh god,now I’ll have to go from worli sea link,to Surat,and then to lokhandwala,and then Bangkok!π Jungle Book-7 here i come. Oh wait,I think he is taking me back to the location. Helipad here I come!
Ada- Don’t leave from there. Live in the van. Sleep on the helipad today.
Me- And fly off from there?
Ada- No! Tell producer to send chopper.
Me-Producer will say go take a jump!
Ada- No,no say it’s a requirement.
Me- He will say “wait til they shoot Mission Impossible 13,they’ll throw u off anyway!!!!”
Ada-πππdoubt you’ll reach before 13.

Very well written. Can visualise the car ride happening in front of me.

So while reading ur conversation…It suddenly remind something…
Few years back I met some Congo & Nigerian people…They came here for study….Even they use F instead of T….And they silent H while pronouncing the words…..So it’s fun taking to them at times….
So I always asked them how will they pronounce TUCK and answer u knowπππππππππ
Their Hello is more like Elllooowwwww
And there’s a lady whom I only find cute while sleeping….Rest of the time she is like…Whafπ‘ whhhhhaaaffffπ whaaffπ π π π π π π π
And I was just doing thisπ¬π¬π¬π¬
And then while I was studying in university…There was an Cambodian friend. Most of them there don’t easily understand what exactly he is saying nobody is even intrested in what he is saying while giving presentation…But because of those Congo mates I was a bit aware with the tongue twisting staements. One day he asked me something…
Combo: What theyyy is theyyyyyy?
Me: what??? yes but grammatically there should be are instead of is?
Combo: No, No what their is uday?
Me: Nhi uday bhai to welcome movie mein the but why are you asking this in class?
Combo: What day is to their?
Me: literally man I can’t understand what you wanna ask? Okay speak a little slow and let me read your lips….
Combo: Repeated the sentence…
Me : Okay, You are asking *What Day is Today*ππ€π€π€
Combo: Yes! Yes!
So finally sometimes it take 3 or 4 attempts to understand himπ€£ππ€£ππ€£
But they all are so cute and loveable and sometimes I miss themπ
And your Bangkok to surat via mumbai trip is amazing
