Baywatch!

An (oversized) gujju lady decided to have a swim in the pool, in my residential complex, last weekend. She had apparently enrolled for swimming classes 3 months back. We came to know about this later. As she had enrolled for classes that long ago, she expected to be quite proficient in swimming. Information regarding how many days out of the three months did she actually attend the classes was withheld from the public.

So she dived into the deep end of the pool with a big splash I might add. Quite comically, she couldn't swim, started drowning and quite badly. So the trainer cum lifeguard who was teaching 7 year olds in the shallow pool did the next logical thing which was also his job.

He rescued the damsel in distress and she was brought ashore. By this time a considerably large crowd consisting of mothers of the 7 year olds learning to swim, oldies who come for a stroll in the park nearby, other swimmers, kids playing in the activity room nearby had gathered. All were quite shocked at what had happened but were also happy that the lifeguard was around to save the day and the 90 kg sack.

The woman who had almost lost her consciousness comes true and everyone's enquiring if she was alright.

The first line she says, to the lifeguard... "Haath kyon lagaya???!!!"

Ouch! All that you see on TV is not true...

Cheers!
