mega bollywood blockbuster

Scene: Sahar International Airport, Mumbai, India
Starring: Indian Custom Officer, Man selling pre-paid mobile phone SIM cards, Man at souvenir shop, Flying pig, Boobie

******
After a round of negotiation for custom duties on the gifts we brought into Mumbai for an event.

Custom Officer: "I don't believe you girls have no money. Look at the hotel you are staying. It's a very expensive 5-star hotel." The officer said, while looking at the address we labelled on the boxes.
Custom officer: "So, are you going to invite me to the hotel for a drink?"
Flying pig: "No no! We are staying at another hotel." Flying pig tried to divert his attention.
Custom Officer: "Oh! That is a even more expensive hotel! There is a very nice pool in there."
Flying pig: "Ummm.. we don't know how to swim."
Custom officer: "Oh! Not to worry. I can teach you." he said with a wide grin on his face.
Flying pig whispered to Boobie: "Boobie, hurry! hurry! Let's get outta here!"

******
On their way out from the airport, they spotted a counter selling pre-paid mobile phone SIM cards. They decided to stop by and purchased the cards.

Boobie: "Excuse me. We would like to purchase two pre-paid mobile phone SIM cards."
Man #1: "Sure. Please fill up this form and I will need to make photocopy of your passports."
Boobie replied in hesitation: "Errrr... there you go." Boobie handed our passports over to him.
Men #1: "I also need to take a picture of you girls for the registration."
Boobie & Flying pig said almost simultaneously: "Huh??"
Man #1: "Yes. This is the compulsory procedure. Now stand in front of the counter and smile." He said while holding up his camera.
Boobie stood in front of the counter with no expression on her face and he took a photo of her.
Man #1: "Now, it's your turn."
Flying pig smiled unwilling into the camera.
Man #1: "Wow. You have a very nice smile."
Flying pig and Boobie looked at each other, speechless.
Man #1: "There you go." He handed the SIM cards to us and said cheekily " I will call you." Both Flying pig and Boobie were stunned.
Flying pig: "Boobie. Quick quick! Let's get outta here!"

They arrived at the hotel as scheduled. During set-up day, there was some free time in the evening. So, Boobie and Flying pig decided to go out and explore the city. After checking with the concierge, they decided to venture to a souvenir shop nearby on a tuk-tuk (a local transportation operated with a motorbike and a sheltered two-seater behind).

Boobie said in disappointment: "Ahhhh.... it's a shabby little shop."
Flying pig: "Ah well, we are here already. Just go in and see what they have."
Flying pig and Boobie walked into the shop and were welcomed by a local Indian man.
Man #2: "Ladies, can I show you around. Check out the interesting stuff we have here for you". He said while showing us some handicrafts.
Boobie was interested in some wooden hand-made boxes. Indecisive, she decided to see what they have upstairs.
Man #2: "Katherine, nothing caught your eyes?"
Flying pig replied in shock: "Huh? How do you know my name?" She then realized she was wearing the custom-made necklace with her name.
While walking upstairs, Flying pig was playing with her necklace.
Man #2: "You don't have to hide it. I already know your name."
Flying pig: ".......... "
Man #2: "We have a lot of jewellery here. Do you like earrings?"
Flying pig tried to be funny: "Ahhh... earrings are not meant to be bought yourself. It's meant to be received as gifts. Haha..."
Man #2 paused for awhile and looked at Flying pig: "Are you hinting something to me?"
Flying pig: "Oh no!! Not hinting anything. Not at all!!"
Man #2 winked and said: "Cuz if you are, I can give you something."
Flying pig was horrified: "No no no! no no no no no......"
Flying pig: "Boobie, are you done yet? We gotta get outta here!"

Oh my. That was really some kind of experience. We heard they are into voluptuous women. Hrmmm. That would mean I have huge potential in India. Maybe I should consider moving to India. NO WAY! I was only joking!!!

Me and my little Bollywood adventure. Pure drama, even without the usual lawn rolling and tree hugging scenes. Hahahaha....
