My uncle who is a commandant in the BSF had this seminar today in Gwalior. He went to Gwalior via Delhi. My aunt also came along and is staying with us till the seminar gets over. Anyways his name is Ajit Kumar (I will explain why the name is important..read on!!). He is like one of those ultra lucky ppl who get a wife who does all the work for him :D . He just sits and orders...and is very used to that lifestyle especially since there are soo many jawans to help him at home. Its a complete VIP treatment. Anyways so today my aunt who was responsible for packing his uniform and all, forgot to pack his name plate badge which has to be pinned on the uniform. Damn I cant even remember the last time someone packed my bags for me. Infact I dont think anybody has done that ever!! Anyways so he calls up in the morning asking my aunt to check if the badge is here. Thats when she realized that she had forgotten to pack it. Damn..the look on her face made us realize the seriousness of the situation. A commandant is the head of a battalion. Just to think that a commandant forgot to wear his badge is really unthinkable. The seminar also had D.I.Gs and I.Gs. It would have left a very bad impression if they noticed that he was without a badge. Its like a part of the uniform. A commandant who is not dressed properly can attract severe consequences. I left for office a bit worried about what would happen. However, when I came back..my aunt was her cheerful self again. I asked her if everything went fine at the seminar. Thats when she told me that my uncle found a malayalee driver who worked in the BSF with the name Aji Kumar!! He borrowed his badge and used it for the seminar successfully evading attention from anyone. Damn!...just think of it! .. pure coincidence ?? My mom doesn't think so. Anyways she gave a piece of her mind to her li'l brother...which was kinda funny. I never imagined a fully grown man - a father of a child - would get to hear statements like "How careless can you get? You should mend your ways. You cant expect people to take care of your li'l things." and so on ...and that too in front of his wife :D . Anyways guess if you wish for something hard enough..it can happen. See ?? .. Walt Disney has taught us so many things..its a pity ppl dont understand the importance of cartoons. Anyways I cant wait to hear the first hand account of the story from my uncle himself when he comes back tomorrow..hopefully over a glass of daaru.

Good story. I wonder how he pulled of the lecture, without constantly worrying about somebody noticing the misspelled badge.
Yah I know...i guess ppl dont pay attention on others as much as they do on themselves esp on occasions like these.
