The anecdote is among the early days in pune when I was searching for a room. One day I went to a place called dahanukar colony in the kothrud area looking for a room. I had to urgently get a printout of the emails to my personal mail id listing the other places where I could enquire for accomodation. I was searching for a cyber cafe and looked high and low for one. After some enquiry and walkabout, I located a good-looking cyber cafe on the main road. Just after the entrance of the cyber-cafe two young (good-looking) ladies were standing in jeans and t-shirts.
With thoughts of urgency about my room-search filled in my mind I went inside ,after opening the door and asked them matter-of-factly "What is the hourly rate?" . They were confused so I looked elsewhere inside the cyber-cafe and I realised that the manager was sitting slightly out of sight of the main entrance. He seemed to have overheard the conversation but waited for me to ask the same question again. Rs.10/- he said. When I was at my seat, he started giving a strange smile to me. He was still smiling at me when I left the cyber-café.
Only couple of days back, I realised what he was trying to interpret wrt to my question to the two ladies !!!! Very bad , wot say???
