Aap to dilli se ho!!!

I recently went trekking to Himalayas, my friend E who was with me, was doing her first Himalayan trek. Inspite of that, i think she did pretty well, more to do with enthusiastic spirit of hers than anything else.

However first time in Himalayas, trekking on rocky himlayan trek is not a cake walk by any means. By the time we completed our 13 kms trek for the day, E started to get muscular pains in some or the other joint (specifically thighs).

As we reached our guest house, we met this guy who claimed that he is the best trek guide cum muscular pain therapist (a local garhwaali)in the entire region or could be the entire country. He would go on boasting about his therapy skills and how he is different from local masseurs, how he has a technique and what not???

E in her pain obviously needed therapy, so we asked him, how do you plan to give this therapy - and the guy answered I press cetain points to relieve you of the pain. Ok great...so we asked - and which are these POINTS assuming he is talking about some points on the foot. He answered matter of factly - obviously the points where the pain is (which obvously meant E's thighs). We were still ok and were keeping a straight face. Next question (from us) - Do you use any oil? Yes madam - i have a special herbal oil specially prepared for my therapy to this we said - wonderful - give us the oil and we would do the massage ourselves. Hearing this he went ballistic -

madam kaisi baatein kar rahe ho, aapko kya pata kaun se POINTS hai, aap ko kya pata therapy ka, therapist to main hoon, yeh oil to bahut poisonous hai, agar kuch huaa to meri responsibility ho jaayegi, hum to professional hai, massage hamein hi karne do. Madam kaisi baatein kar rahe ho, aap to dilli se ho!!!

:-) to this obviously our jaws dropped and i quickly hid myself under the quilt to have a good laugh leaving E to deal with the Moron!
