Today I will share with you two funny incidence happened with me and with my maternal cousin brother at Bankura, my native place.
In 1986 at Durga Puja times we went to Bankura as usual. This time my maternal cousin's brother accompanied us.
He is basically from Bhopal, Madya Pradesh. He studied at BITS, Pilani, and did his master's in Pharmacy and Bioscience.
At that time he came to Kolkata with his first job and was staying with us.
He never went to any village in his lifetime and was very excited to visit Bankura and to experience the village life.
As I shared earlier that we do have our pond at Bankura. It is very big and many residents of our village do bathing there.
The first incidence happened there.
My brother told us that he knew swimming very well and in BITS he used to swim in the swimming pool.
After reaching Bankura he said that he will swim in the pond in the noon.
But he will swim only in the swimming costume that he carried. In village places, people are not accustomed to swimming costumes as both males and females do bath in the pond.
So, when he reached the pond wearing a swimming costume people gathered around the pond to view the happening. It was the curious view of the local people.
My brother got down the pond and started swimming, but with our utter disguise, he was drowning. One of my other brothers immediately jumped and saved him.
Afterward, when we asked him why he was unable to swim, he said with a smile that he was learning how to swim and we laughed at loud.
In the evening we went for pandal hopping in the town area with a scooter and motorbike.
The second incidence happened here.
After some pandal hopping my brother said that he wanted to urinate.
After finding a dark place he started urinating. All of a certain two ladies came out from the darkness with the broom and started shouting as he was urinating on the wall of their house and told my brother that he was not having any civic sense and whether he had any house of himself.
My brother didn’t stop urinating and said bluntly that if a person does have the civic sense or a house he will still urinate when the urge comes.
We started running for the scooter and the bike and left the place.
