Uncle & Young Man Share A Moment

(Heard during the ongoing Durga Puja:)

Hello Uncle! (Meshomoshai)

Hello Mr. B...... how are you?

Good uncle…actually great, enjoying the puja bhog (a portion of the spread that was offered to the goddess). Why don’t you go and get a plate?

Later, I just had shrimp patty from the stall. Enjoy the food young man.

No uncle, not that young any more, getting on in age.

Still Mr. B you look very fit, just need to trim your tummy a bit.

Yes that's a problem zone, and also the pain in my joints.

If I remember correctly, you had a fall few years back and hurt your knee....

Yes uncle, but you look in great shape, how old are you?

Seventy-two Mr. B.

Well I am not too far behind you uncle…. sixty-nine going on seventy.
