Shorts give way to Pants!

The Long and Short of it!

The long awaited breaking news was making Argonaut bristle with trepidation and he was eager to find out the short end of it. Brotherji was just too eager to explain the winds of change and this is a short summation of the long discussion between him and our very dear outspoken Argo!

ArGo: So, Brotherji, it is good to see winds of change blowing your way…

Brotherji: (looking sheepish) Kya kare, we could not stand the stink of the guys in the line ahead of us!

ArGo: What the…

Brotherji: See, aisa hai ki, we are strictly vegan and we thrive on protein rich dals.

ArGo: So…

Brotherji: Well…hmmm…erhmm…the problem was with the guys breaking wind.

ArGo: He he…and…

Brotherji: See, the disadvantage of shorts is that the stink spreads all over!

ArGo: Ha ha ha ha ha…what a story!

Brotherji: No no nahi ji, sachh hai and that is why we discarded those shorts in favor of pants…

ArGo: Pants???

Brotherji: You know what you are wearing right now on your legs and me too…

ArGo: Oh you mean trousers?

Brotherji: Well that is not Indian. You are not Indian. We call them pants…

ArGo: I am from Assam which is a part of India…very much a part of India, so what the heck are you saying that I am not an Indian?

Brotherji: (now panting) Do not take offense; most people and tailors in our country call them pants!

ArGo: Then you are going to the wrong tailor…

Brotherji: No no, we are going to Saks in London…our pants have been designed by their best dressmakers…and they are still called pants.

ArGo: Will your ‘pants’ also be the ballooning type like your erstwhile shorts?

Brotherji: (now angry) Of course not, what do you mean ballooning type…those were worn by the police of yesteryears not us, the angrezi phirangs wanted us to look funny because they thought we were a joke to laugh at…

ArGo: I can’t believe what I am hearing!

Brotherji: That is your problem. Your channel is a foreign funded anti-national mouthpiece deriding everything Indian!

ArGo: Can you prove it?

Brotherji: No, absolutely not…and we do not have to prove anything. We are above proving anything and now we are a panted and booted army!

ArGo: Army?

Brotherji: (again sheepish) Well not exactly…we play with our bamboo sticks and act like we are warriors…!

ArGo: Oh yeah…you guys look like you are doing a voodoo dance…

Brotherji: That is enough of nonsense, I am leaving!

ArGo to viewers: The nation wanted to know and here you see, our national party is panting to kill the shorts while dancing with their bamboo sticks…blah…blah…blah…pant…pant…

Oh boy…damn the breaking news!
