It’s a crazy world we live in

Ten feet away from his house, a friend of mine, being dropped home by a friend of his, takes off his seatbelt. Oops, bad move. Drunk out of his senses, the driver drives straight into a tree and my dear friend, equally drunk and now unseatbelted, flies straight into the windshield. Don’t worry, he still lives, with a swollen forehead of course.

I’m walking back home and I come across a well-dressed, non psychotic looking woman, about mid-forties, scanning the foothpath for something. I ask her if everything’s alright. She tells me she just lost her gold ring while slapping a man she points out to, who’s still holding his cheek and crying like a 5-year-old, after he rammed his car into someone else’s. “He’s my son. Stupid bloody fellow. And now I can’t find my gold ring.”

A friend calls, correction – missed calls, and I call back, reporter that I am. The friend picks up, “Oh, hi, that was quick, actually I just wanted to tell you that I’m...(PEEEPOOOPEEEPOOOPEEEPOOO, some bike whooshes past).”
I say “What?” “Yeah,” he says, I’m (PAAAAAAAN another bike).” I say “What?” He starts laughing, “Yes, I’m MARRIED!”

I say “WHAT?” This guy is just a kid who can barely pay his rent, who can only afford to give missed calls, and he’s married???!!! “Wow,” I say. But it's how he got married that's the real treat.

A childhood friend (girl) of his, complained to the authorities of her university of extreme sexual harassment and attempt to kidnap her. She’d begun to feel like her life was under threat. But no one paid attention so she went to the media. Now the Student’s Union got together with the authorities and made her life hell. Meanwhile they constantly called her parents back home telling them that their daughter was doing crazy things and saying crazy things and behaving crazily. So one day her parents came, picked her up and locked her away in a mental asylum. One day she escaped and came to Delhi, where she stayed with her childhood, broke, friend. Her dear sweet parents found out and filed a kidnapping case against the boy they hired a lawyer and were told that under the circumstances, the best thing to do was get married. Voila.

And all in a day’s work
