This is worth reading , I wish was also walking on that " Russy MODY'S " BAP KA RASTA.

That would be an adventure.

But I would have asked him one question , " Russy TU NE kantalo NATHI avato jyare TU Vijay Merchant SATHE tun char kalak batting KARE CHE ANE score pachas be NATHEE thato ?"

Truly Pesi I used to wonder in BOMBAY heat how do they stand there and make such poor score.

I used to love cricket in those days, the Ranji trophy & the Pentengulars.

It is said that once Russi Mody was on an official trip to (the then) Bombay. Even though it was a Sunday morning, Russi had to visit Bombay House, the Corporate Head Quarters of the Tata Group. Russi was driving a Mercedes himself as it was a Sunday and there was very little traffic and also it was the chauffeur's day off. Russi was wearing simple shorts and a T shirt.

 

Knowing that he would take just a few minutes to finish his work in Bombay House and that it was a non-working day in the business district with very low traffic, he decided to take liberties to park his Merc in an other-wise no parking zone. A conscientious traffic cop noticed all this and he immediately rushed to Russi who had started sauntering towards the Bombay House entrance.

 

In a gruff voice the Pandu Havaldar asked Russi. "Kyun bhidu, baap kaa sadak samajh kay rakha hai kya?"

 

Russi very non-chalantly replied: " Haan kuchh aisa hi hai. Aapko English padhna aata hai kya? "

 

Then he gently held the Pandu's arm and walked him to the kerbside and pointed to the metal signage of the road. He asked the cop " Kya Likha Hai ?"

 

The cop said "Sir Homi Mody Street ".

 

A mischievously smiling Russi discloses "Woh Mera Baap Tha "
