On our way back from dinner last night, Chrys and I were discussing where to go today. I suggest the Comedy Store. Chrys says, 'Anyone can do stand-up comedy. Only Kulbhushan Kharbanda can do...' at this point I mimic KK and say, 'Sit down!'. The taxi driver turns around and laughs at this joke and for reasons beyond my comprehension, Chrys is offended.
Later at home, he says, almost in an accusing tone, that taxi drivers try to strike up a conversation only when I am with him. Else they just leave him alone. I wonder why being the source of some amusement to a taxi-driver should offend one so much. I think Chrys cannot reconcile himself to the fact that a set of people who listen to Agam Nigam's songs and watch bhojpuri movies could find the same jokes funny as him.
Well, I find the whole thing quite amusing.

I was just offended that he intruded on a private moment
