Monologue of a Gaay in the city

Blogging is fun Bachchan is doing it, Aamir is doing it, I am doing it…

I personally do follow Aamirs blog, I am dedicating this part of my blog to him.

Aamirs’ latest writing was in news everywhere where he talks about Shahrukh & a dog. The thought of writing on this came to my mind when I was in Mahabaleshwar (not far from Panchgini a place frequently visited by Aamir & the place where Aamir found a dog named Shahrukh )

I don’t see a river but the only water body in the proximity is the Venna lake not far from the hotel where I was staying & there is a guy offering a ride on Shahrukh  for just a Rs.100 for half an hour. LOL, damn yes Aamir finds a dog named Shahrukh & I find a horse named after the star himself in Mahabaleshwar.

Well the story goes like this, after lunch & a good afternoon nap I happen to take a stroll down the Venna lake with my sisters & my nephews .If u have ever been to Mahabaleshwar you have to be there for a boat ride in Veena which costs just Rs.150 good family experience.

While I was standing on a queue to pay my deposit for the boat. A guy comes & asks me “Bolo Saab, Shahrukh ki savaari?” (if I wanted to ride on Shahrukh) it was a offer I could not resist & it was also funny the way he asked it, cause he was asking a single gay guy if he wanted to ride that too a star. I declined the offer cause I knew what they do to these horses’, am not a animal activist but after you hear what they do to horses here & if you are human you would never pay for such rides.

But the thought was haunting my mind while I was boating, cause I did want to see Shahrukh. So after my boat ride with family which was a good experience I walk to the place where they had all the stallions & I see a black stallion with the name SHAHRUKH engraved on his saddle. I touch his skin & he looks at me & then turns back. His owner recognizes me & asks me if I wanted the ride I decline his offer again & move back just then a curiosity strikes & a question comes to my mind ,I look back, he was patting Shahrukhs back & I ask him “Iska naam Shahrukh kyon rakha” (why did u keep his name Shahrukh) he smiles & replies in a very Indian accent “he izh the besht” (he is the best) I smile & I return back to my hotel room.

Later that night I got to think about Shahrukh, there are enuff things said about the guy some negatives some positives, people write about him in the blogs & media creates fuzz about it. Aamirs blog was cheeky but I don’t think he directly wanted to insult or get Shahrukh down, but in my personal opinion I think in a way he meant how popular Shahrukh was cause no one in Mahabaleshwar or Panchgini were keeping their dogs & horses name as Aamir.

Am also wondering just how many mammals must be sharing this name in Western Ghats of Maharashtra?

I got to go now cause Aamir is meowing & might pounce on me anytime (& a cat meowing at 2oclock in the night with Aamir as his first name can be really …..)

P.S: I don’t have cat named Aamir, its the hotel owners cat whom I named. C’mon there needs to be Aamir where Shahrukh is, we humans like to see a good cat & dog fight…lol
