Embarrassed

October 08, 2008

We (Me, Pankaj, Deepak, Nitin Bansi) just entered the main gate of IIIT Hyderabad after shopping. A delivery boy was already there with a Pizza ready for delivery. He was looking for help. I asked security guard “Whats the matter?”, just for the sake of moral responsibility.

Delivery boy : Scooter mein petrol khatam ho gaya hai. OBH jana hai. (There is no petrol in my scooter. I want lift up to OBH.)

Right at that moment a two wheeler entered IIIT gate. I didn’t realize who was it.

Me to delivery boy (pointing at the vehicle) : “Inke saath chale jao..” (Go with him).

The person (on vehicle) stopped right there because I pointed at him. And it turned out to be a faculty member. “Mere pairon tale se jaise zameen hi khisk gayee”. OMG. What I have done?? Why in god’s name will I ever stop a faculty member to ask for giving a lift to a pizza delivery boy.

Faculty Member : Whats the matter?
Me : (stammering) hmm… umm …. this guy .. um… this is a delivery boy (as if it was not obvious from his dress). um.. he is looking for help …
(Delivery boy almost took everything for granted and watch trying to approach the vehicle …)
Delivery boy : Scooter mein petrol khatam ho gaya hai …
Faculty Member : What he needs?
Me : hmmmm … he needs a lift …
Faculty Member : For what?
Me : To deliver pizza.
Faculty Member : (I couldn’t really get what he said but approximately) why are you bothering me?

And he left. I took a DEEP breath. This was one of the most embarrassing situations I ever faced at IIIT 😐

  1. This happened with me in my 1sy year. I just put up my thumb at some arbit scooter and it stopped. It turned out to be a faculty member (I’m not telling who.)
    The ride from Main Building to the Main Gate much seemed longer than usual to me. En route, a group of immediate senior girls saw me and burst into laughter. I could feel their eyes burning holes in my back for some distance.
    We came out of the Main Gate and the faculty member asked me where I wanted to go. I asked where he wanted to go. He indicated the direction and I told him the opposite. And what a long ‘phew’ it was after that.

  2. @ Everyone who commented : Are you guys that dumb?? Which faculty member drives scooter in our campus?? Does that ring any bells?? C’mon don’t be that stupid… I guess now everyone knows 😀
