Chapter : The fully charged bankers

This is the story of the two bankers, whom we were privileged enough to travel with, during our 32-hour emotional trip on the Thiruvananthapuram-Mumbai express.

Bankers (especially those who work with the commercial sector) have this rather, powerful ability to build an uncomfortable atmosphere around me, which I admit scares me to a great extent. Well, to know the reason, you might have to dig into my dark secrets, which I prefer to be buried at this point of time. To cut the long story short, I dread bankers and I dread calls from bankers.

Let’s just talk about these two bankers. They had lot in common to talk and probably, shared a senior-subordinate relation amongst themselves.

They suffered from this strange suffering, which for now we can call (FCMS) OR Fully charged mobile Syndrome. I do not know, for some reason, they would continuously want to charge their mobile handsets, depriving me and prashant of the sole electrical plug socket that was there in our section, and thus our laptops would constantly be abandoned without any power to be functional.

I tried to list down the reasons, why they wanted to desperately keep their mobiles charged and managed to come up with a few. My Bad, if you find any of these weird (I believe one of them is surely for real).

1.      Both of them had extremely gorgeous wives back home, whom they had wedded recently. They might probably have appointed a 24-hour surveillance spy, who used to update, if their spouses were cheating upon them.

2.      They had probably robbed their own bank and were running with the booty money. They could have been in constant touch with a RAT IN  the police department, who was constantly giving them updates, on the police’s next moves.

3.      Both of them were probably aliens from mars, disguised as bankers, and the battery power of their mobiles, was actually their own battery powers.

4.      They both could’ve been suffering from STML (Short term memory loss) and forgot that they had just charged their mobile phones.

5.      They were both probably kidnapped by us and we were trying to frisk them to Pune. They wanted to give signals to the Police department of their whereabouts and hence, FCMS.

6.      Also, I guess, they were scared of taking dump in the train and hence wanted to divert all their focus to keeping their mobiles fully charged and thereby, despising all the booty ready to be excreted in their rectum.

7.      They were probably Intern spies from KGB, trying to gauge the quantum of electricity being generated into a 2-Tier compartment of an Indian train. The device that they were using was a Kinetix (which was their mobile phones). This could have been their summer intern project.

8.      They probably had nothing better to do in this 32-hour long journey and hence took sadistic pleasures, in depriving our laptops of battery power

Strange are the ways of  GOD, who has created such strange men.
