- So a girl at this Lucknow counter tells me, ‘I like your
lips’.
I didn't know where to go.
- Next time, same airport, another girl, ‘I like your
teeth’.
That’s still ok!
- A sardar at the Delhi airport, “Are you a frequent
flier?”.
Me: “Umm, I don’t have any card.”
He: “No, no. Just that I’ve seen your name a lot of times.”
- An immigration
officer was going through my passport, “Punjabi, hmm?”.
Me, smiling, “Yes”.
He, singing like a song, “ Kahan jaa rahi hainnnn,”.
Me, “Bahrain.”
He tries to find my visa but can't.
Me, “Visa is on page 26.”
He, singing, “Aapko to sabbbb pata hai.”
Uh!!!!
- The first time I came to Bahrain, the Boy told me to buy
liquor from the arrival Duty Free shop. I was standing at the counter when an
Arab smiled at me and said, "Do you have the money?"
I gave him a nod and smiled back. I was later told that he
would have easily given me all I needed. This country is notorious on
Thursdays!
I have rude (don't-touch-anything-till-I-tell-you-to) ,
sweet (you-don't-look-married) and irritating (are-you-pregnant) immigration
stories as well. But lets keep them for another day. I just wish that someday a
cute guy would be at the counter or at immigration and would repeat the above
lines. Now THAT would make for the best story ever.
P.S. I am happily married. A little flirting works wonders for the heart :)
Certainly. little flirting doesn't hurt :) raining compliments :)
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing in Bahrain btw?
These 'compliments' have been raining over a period of time.. so I'm not ao thrilled. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm the most vela person you will know. Doing absolutely nothing.. but this is by choice. So, no regrets :)
I'm guessing you are a freelance writer, right? We do need to know each other better.
Totally agree on the P.S :D
ReplyDeleteYou too!? And you JUST got married ;)
DeleteI love the P.S :D
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I'd react if my husband wrote the same P.S.! Haha, double standards!
DeleteCame here for the first time, nice post.
ReplyDeletethe Sardar one's epic haha!
Welcome here, Nameera!
DeleteLike always, I understood pretty late that he was flirting! Anyway, I wasn't annoyed as much as I was with that immigration officer.. what a jerk he was. Ughhh!!
Hahaha, I too have my list of immigration stories but why do you buy at Airport in Bahrain? I thought booze was open there
ReplyDeleteBecause at Duty Free you get stuff at half the price :)
