I Don’t Know, Son! - 46


Karnataka MLA Saved!
Son: A Karnataka MLA was travelling on Nelamangala Main Road in his car when a senior citizen is said to have come in front of the vehicle, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The vehicle in full speed hit the senior citizen and threw him away, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: But fortunately nothing happened to the MLA, dad!
Father: Go on, son.
Son: He immediately moved into another car and left the scene, dad!
Father: But what about the senior citizen, son?
Son: He was taken to a hospital by his relatives and was declared dead, dad.
Father: What was the reaction of the MLA, son?
Son: He has stated that the pedestrians are not supposed to move in the National Highway, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Exchange of Psychiatrists for Neurologists (Tit for Tat)!
Son: Fortis Healthcare has poached a team of 19 expert psychiatrists from Max Healthcare, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: Sunil Parikh will lead the outgoing team from Max and will head the team at Fortis as Director of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: A spokesperson of Max Healthcare has stated that crossovers were common in healthcare business, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: He added that Max Healthcare had earlier poached a team of neurologists from Fortis, dad!
Father: Interesting. Go on, son.
Son: It may be interesting to note that both Max Healthcare and Fortis are owned by the family members of the original promoters of the Ranbaxy Group, dad.
Father: I don’t know, son!
The legendary Ganguly!
Son: Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, has called Sourav Ganguly as a cricketing legend, dad.
Father: Go on, Son.
Son: It may be noted that Shah Rukh had unceremoniously ousted Ganguly from his IPL team by not bidding for him in the last IPL auction, dad.
Father: True. Go on, son.
Son: Now that Ganguly is no more in his team, Shah Rukh appears happy to call him a cricketing legend, dad!
Father: Go on, Son.
Son: That the legend and his Pune team are performing miserably in the current season is of course another matter, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
Deccan gets Pune Sahara (Help)!
Son: The Deccan Chargers team was at the bottom of the points table with zero points, dad.
Father: True. Go on, son.
Son: The rain God was kind enough to help them to gain at least one point by washing out the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, dad!
Father: True. Go on, son.
Son: The team was still unable to beat any team to put more points in its basket, dad.
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The team looked at the Pune team headed by the legendary Ganguly to give them some Sahara, dad!
Father: Go on, son.
Son: The Pune team was kind enough to extend its Sahara (help), dad.
 Father: Go on, son.
Son: The Pune team put up a miserable performance to help the Hyderabad team to garner four points from both the matches, dad!
Father: I don’t know, son!
