A Collection of Best Embarrassing Moments - III

Half  नाम brings बदनाम :)   :

 This was a difffferenttt situation. You know that my name is kranthi kumar.just keep in mind :) . I have one habbit since my schooldays. i always draw something in my notebook. If u open my notebook u will find something ... some kind of drawing.My friends knew this. sometimes u will find some unfinsihed drawings too. The reason is ..somewhere in the middle..if i lose interest or if some other work is to be addressed i would leave that in that middle. This habit is still ON :) . Okay besides drawing i always write my name in different different styles embellishing it. I always,mostly, write just "kranthi" leaving "kumar" to gaali(winds :) ).

 Okay..getting back to story : One day, in school, I started writing my name in the centre of a notebook...in one whole paper ... in big double lines like we find the movie titles on posters. For a time i developed a fascination towards the "kumar" in my name.That day i was writng just "kumar".I allocated one complete paper for that . ఒక అమరశిల్పి జక్కన లా K చెక్కాను. U చెక్కాను M చెక్కాను A చెక్కాను. చివరగా R కూడా చేక్కబోయాను . కాని అప్పటికే bore కొట్టి చచ్చాను . So lite తీసుకున్నాను . I was in class ..i got so so bored and I didnt sculpt the last letter "R" :)

AFTER FEW MONTHS. One day Jani who was famous for his mafiaic activities like having powerful connection outside the school :) was flipping the pages of my notebook and accidentally stopped at one page and cried loudly with excitement " OOOOOOOO... whats this?...hammaaaa!!!!." I looked at it and was shell shocked. I found there K U M A . bore కొట్టి మధ్యలో వదిలేసిన నా సుందర నామ చివరి సగభాగం . OH god...!!! చచ్చాను ...There was one girl K.Umamahalaxmi in our class. just naa mundhu bench. My "KUMAR" sans R outputed a new eaquation "K UMA " . Shortform for Umamahalaxmi :'( . Though there was sister-brother jargon in the school... no one in class would miss this opprtunity to comment. I was fully embarrassed. Ee జానిగాడు balckmail చేసి చంపేస్తాడు అని అనుకున్నాను ..కాని luckily he forgot everything and saved me from further embarrassament :) .Thanks Jani :)

 AUTO-matic-GRAPHS :) :

 Final semester... the twilight of enginering days :( everybody was thinking "what they're gonna miss"!!! .E verybody was buying autograph books /slam books and running after their dear friends. There was one girl Aparna,my classmate . She was also in my lab practicals batch who once, (2-1 / 3-1? not sure) helped me in the lab external exam. I was stuck with some problem in the lab and she herself came to me and helped me.That day I felt like she was some angel descended to help me in the lab :) .

So ..coming back to final days of engg... i thought i would take autograph of hers. I decided. That day..everybody was busy scribbling in others' books. I took Ramesh with me for company and went to her and gave my book. She was scribbling and i stood there.Some other girl(our classmate) came and sat beside her.After Aparna finished she asked "shall i pass on this to her?" .That other girl was looking and if i said "NO" it wouldnt look good though i hardly spoke to her before. I said "okay .... u pass it on..". By then there were already 5 to 7 girs accumulated in that area. nenu booked.Then I said,pointing to another girl "after that...give it to her.. " Then Aparna said "Dont worry...i will pass this to everyone". I didnt say anything but okay.They were all scribbling in my book like automatic machines as they didnt know anything abt me. I left that place and went later to collect.

I collected and was goin to hostel with Ramesh . I was feeling embarrassed. Actually dying with that feeling. I didnt feel okay having those details (though they didnt write much ) of the girls who i never spoke to.I wanted to have Aparna's and i ended up with all. Even they too might have disliked and totally hated writing in a person's book whom they hardly knew. Finally ...i vented my anguish to ramesh " Hey ramesh..am not feeling good..this is embarrassing". And u know waht ramesh said " hammayya!!! thank god!!! kranthi.... now i am happy ... 2 days back ..even i gave them mine ... and from that time i am feelin awkward too .. now u added to the list ...cool " .He was ROFL. I kept aside my suffering and i joined him. Laughing. But till today... whenever i think about that i feel embarrassed :( .


Two Birds At One Blow :)    :


This is can be called Collective Embarrassment :) మా father కి telugu భాషన్నా ..telugu literature అన్నా మాంచి ప్రాణం అన్నమాట . He likes the movies which reflect telugu culture and indian culture. So..obviously he loves the director Bapu.

okay now coming to the point..while i was in school..on some holiday...soembody brought VCP .We were watching the movie Rajendraprasad's "Mister Pellam" directed by Bapu. My dad was sitting beside me on the bed supporting his back against the wall. The video was being played on TV infront of me but the audio was being played beside me.Didnt get this??? నేను చెబుతాను kadaaaaa.... Ever since the movie started my father started eulogizing about Bapu ,his films, his film-making-style . నేను "ఊ " కొడుతూ చూస్తున్నాను .
  
So ..then came a song sequence in the movie.Hero sings about heroine . it goes like " aa sogasu chuuda tharammaaa..." My dad re-bounced with full enthusiasm and was saying "See...the other directors show herones in a bad light..see Bapu..see there..how decently bapu is showing his heroine with that బారు జడ ..నిండు చీర ...." .Then it happened.I wish i were not there . All of you who saw that song would understand. what happened was :

while my father was singing paeans about Bapu ...alas.... during that song.. at one moment ... how to say..hmm ... ok.. the heroine's saree slipped/slid from her shoulder... The second we saw that scene ..my father instantly stopped talking and was absolutely silent. I think it was a crest-fallen moment for him .. .. and i didnt find a place to hide my head :) . I dont know what the director might have thought about including such scene but i cursed my presence there at that moment .Usually ..in normal cases..when we we happen to watch such scenes with parents we would feel awfully embarrassed. But in this case ..even worse...while my father was raving abt the director and suddenly happening this kind of thing out of blue .... its million zillion times more than that.

But ...everytime i think about that there comes a smile on my face :) . Dual embarrassment :)
