So today I called up this desi travel agent – I have been calling them all over to get the tickets; anyhow a very sweet lady picked up the phone and this is how it went…
Me: …Can you give me the fare details?
Her: Can I have your name please?
Me: Suyog; S as in Sam, U as in Umbrella, Y as in umm..err.. Yak, (excuse me sir?) Y as in Why!, O as in Ostrich, G as in God.
Her: And your phone number sir?
Me: 4-4-3–5-6-2–5-1-0-1
Her: Suyog, I am currently with another customer here; Can I please call you back in 5-10 minutes? I will finish him and get to you…
I almost wanted to say err.. miss dracula… I am not in a hurry. I ended up meekly saying – “of course, I would reaaaaaaaalllly appreciate it”.
Sigh, the desi travel agents 😉
