So we're travelling from Indore to Bhopal. Its a scary road. Traffic in Indore goes both ways in the right lane, and the left lane. On the highway, I see why. All trucks get used to overtaking in the opposite lane. The roadblocks are bullock carts, motorbike riders with a death-wish, slow trucks with over 3 feet of protruding metal beams and so on.
We pick up a CD at the breakfast stop. A compilation of latest hindi songs. An original on T-series. When the car starts, we put in the CD. Soni de Nakhare from Partner starts playing. About 1 minute into the song, the track jumps. Ok, its a bad road. And an auto DJ can be fun. The CD pops out. John puts it in. Restart from the beginning. 2 lines in, another bump, another reboot.
We did that about 6 times. Then we tried the 2nd CD. Dupatta Tera from Partner. This time we had actually almost finished the song. And then - Reboot. And again. And again.
We stopped at the next chotu CD come everything shop. We picked up a CD. It was cheap. Better yet, it didn't jump.
Moral of the story...
a) Don't expect CDs to play on MP highways
b) Unless - you buy them cheap on the same said highways

Indore Part 2
House hunting.
I met a girl who is in a flat i was going to share
Pakka shes in a call girl racket. Or shes a companion. In that sense.
Accha flat hai.
Kaam ke log ke paas bhi hai.
Batchmate bhi colony main hai.
Par.... flat nahin hai... in which there is no companion per se, high class sab.
She's supposed to move out by jan.
Pata nahin ki kya hoga.
So I'm still house hunting.
Mom... sure I should share a flat with a girl?

Kal hotel phone pe koi call kiya tha.
Woh bola - Ma'am, aapse friendship karna hai.
I said - What?
Voice on the telephone - Ma'am aap meri friend jaise hi hai. Waise hi dikhte hai, waise he baatein karthi hai, sab. Mein aapse friendship karna hai.
Mein boli - Bhaiya tera naam kya hai?
Voice on the telephone - Woh nahin bata sakta ma'am... aap complaint kar denge ...toh...
Me - Thik hai... phone rakho, bhool jao yeh sab. Mein bhi bhool jaaongi.
Dad did warn me.
