What is fun?
There was this group at the stadium. The Dhol guy was obviously its epicenter. He played his dhol, the group sung and danced to his tunes. They were visibly having a good time.
Security: Sir, you cannot play it here.
The group looked at each other. One of them volunteered to be the mouthpiece.
Mouthpiece: We are just having some fun...
Security: I appreciate that Sir. But, we should also allow others to watch the game and have a good time.
How can she be so naive? We want to have fun and we have fun. It ends there. The others better learn our style of fun. Or, they can go to hell. How can she expect us to think about others?
After an animated discussion among themselves, the group decided to move away. By that time, the whole section of the stadium was watching them. The dhol guy was convinced that he had gained a huge fan-following. He did not want to disappoint them. He played his dhol while moving away.
The group found themselves a new place. The dhol guy let his music flow. Security of that area approached them with the same set of expectations as the previous one. The group was quite agitated this time. They let loose a large amount of curses in Hindi and a few in English. The security guy presented them a saintly face. He made a great effort to show that his thoughts too were saintly.
The dhol guy realized that he should let the security know that he was not pleased. He said - "You got it? You got it? You got it?". He was repeating himself for a very long time. May be the quantity of booze he had consumed did not help him in remembering that he had already said what he was about to say.
This way, the band kept changing its location only to face a different security with the same set of demands. The group moved around all through the match in search of the right security who would see nothing wrong in their style of having fun. They were not very lucky that day.
What is fun if is fun for others too?

Inder,
n u have tagged this under 'gibberish' ... now thats quite funny:)
vinnie,
gibberdom... gibberish :)
am too lazy to think of labels... i label them all as gibberish
Interesting. concept of fun is private, if others are being disturbed, can that be called fun? I guess it becomes an ethical problem, for eg, when people are having 'fun' by playing music too loudly and disturbing neighbours.
Inder, I agree. They should have their fun where others will not be disturbed.
Nice shots of the stadium.
@sucharita,
exactly. but, not everybody seem to realize this.. :(
@manju,
there was a whole wing of the stadium where almost everybody was like this group. they would have felt at home in that wing. unfortunately (for everybody) they were in the wrong wing..
