Regal Raja’s Royal Bloopers

        This is yet another post about a lad from my college. In fact he’s a prince belonging to the Nilambur Kovilakam, a royal family in Kozhikode. For namesake let’s call him Raja. Yeah, you guessed it right, the tall, fair and lean guy in S8 Electronics A-batch of SCT. Like any prince, Raja is obsessed with riding horses, but since horse-riding is not permitted in the congested streets of Trivandrum, he bought a blue Honda Unicorn 150cc bike as a proxy (unicorn literally means a horned horse and blue is the colour of royalty), and is now a tad too haughty when on his royal machine. Also, Raja is known as “world bank” in college, owing to the fact that his purse is filled with a minimum of 1000 bucks anytime, anywhere, anyhow. In short, he lives in a royal humungous palace, sleeps in a royal king-sized bed, eats a royal sumptuous meal, rides a royal blue bike, and writes with a royal blue fountain pen with royal blue ink. So let’s address the bloopers made by Raja as royal bloopers.

Royal Blooper no: 1

Once Gokul, Anif and Kishore went to Raja’s house. Raja was seemingly surprised.

Raja: How did you guys come?

Gokul: 2 bikes undaayirunneda.

Raja (using his full brain power): Oho, appol ningal triples adichu alle!!

Royal Blooper no: 2

It was the 1st class in IMS and SK sir paired the students into groups of 2. Students had to interact with their partners and then come to the front of the class and describe their partners. Raja enquired and learned about his partner in detail; interests, hobbies, family and stuff. Raja started explaining the profile of his partner to the class. After initially describing his character, Raja casually switched to the details about his partner’s family, and that’s when he made a twist of tongue:

Raja: As usual, he has a couple of parents!!

Raja had a black eye after the class.

Royal Blooper no: 3

Raja went to this shop in East Fort to buy a headset having a budget of Rs.500/-. Unfortunately the shop had only headsets in the range of Rs.150/-.

Raja: Cheta, enikke 400 inum 500 inum idayilulla nalla headset veenam.

Shopkeeper tried to convince him that the Rs.150/- priced headsets were really good, but Raja was quite obdurate in his stand. Shopkeeper then said he’ll check the vault for more headsets and went inside. Luckily for Raja, the shopkeeper found a Rs.450/- priced headset and Raja immediately bought it. Raja and shopkeeper parted happily. Raja reaches home and switches the headset into his computer. Raja is heartbroken; one ear-piece of the headset not working.
Flashback: Shopkeeper says he’ll check the vault and goes inside, takes out the same Rs.150/- priced headset, sticks a new sticker with a price tag of Rs.450/-, returns back and with a sly grin hands it over to Raja.

P.S. Please don’t misunderstand Raja for a filthy rich arrogant brat. He’s perhaps one of the nicest, down to earth guys I’ve ever met. By the way, Raja was infuriated by the shopkeeper’s duplicity and went to his palace to take his royal sword planning to chop down the shopkeeper, but the guileful shopkeeper shifted his shop to another corner of the city hearing rumors from unidentified sources. Rumors are there that Raja’s bodyguards have started a massive man-hunt to locate the shopkeeper.
