Bunty Aur Bubbly

Whenever I remember that journey from Kolkata to Trivandrum, I cherish some wonderful memories. Specially Bunty and Bubbly.

We all were embarking on to first steps towards our professional careers. Initially four of us (Me, Jimmy, Sree and Monika) were scheduled to leave together on 30th of April by some 9PM train. Later we came to know Vinni was also ther on the same train. Out of four, three had booked their unconfirmed tickets together while Sreenath had confirmed reservations. Coming to the station we were taken by surpise that my ticket was confirmed whereas the other two were not. Somehow we decided to manage together as we had to report at Trivandrum on 3rd of May. Believe me the condition on AC Coach was no better than a second class one. Since we were not the only ones travelling in that coach without confirmed tickets.

In this memorable journey of our life we came across a foreign couple; Bunty and Bubbly, a complete mismatch. Now imagine Bunty, 6 ft tall, dark, well built, almost like a african athlete. Whereas Bubbly, was a white lady, much shorter in height, fair and very thin. Some of their incidents made us laugh throughout the entire journey. For example; Bunty was so caring about Bubbly that he used to do every thing for her. From bringing food and water to making her sleep, from carrying all luggage to even masaging her (that too in train haan). But as usual the got the treatment that normally you would (infact should) expect by serving a girl so honestly. Guess what BUBBLY slapped BUNTY. Wow this was such an memorable incidence. I am sure Jimmy, Sree and Monika would have some memories to share with all about them.

I still cherish those memories writing this post. We faced a lot of trouble on the way. But still what I remember is these wonderful moments spent together some wonderful friends not the bitter experiences or troubles we faced. Infact these were the things that made us forget our worries and initiated bonding.
