“Wahhhhht? You posed nude… what… why…where?” I enquired, horrified.
“See Dikuna men, mistake became dis last wikend, all my footer buddies, and me went to Lonavla.

“Arre wait men, have to give de backdrop to de whole situashun.”
“Right. Take your time.”
“So den, we are all frolicking and jumping around in dat lake men, and we are little ‘tight’.”
“‘Tight’, what’s ‘tight’?”
“Tipsy, like… Old Monk we are having, no? In our group dere is one ‘ungli’ master, Chacko is his name, he tells to me, ‘Hey Lobo da… I challenge you to go totally naked and pose! I dare you, Ranvir Singh jaisa!”’

“Dis lady is saying dat she could see my ‘bum’. When I met dat main inspector, he is my frennd oni, we are part of same Laughter Club…he aksed me: ‘Hey Lobo… sanga mala, this ‘bum’… what it is ‘bum’?”

“Oops that’s a bit embarrassing.”

“I’m sorry to hear all this, Lobo Lobo. I think it’s rather foolish…cannot believe that people are getting offended!”
“Arrey Dikuna men, I am not taking tension, I’m registering a counter FIR against all dese pepuls men!”
“An FIR… a First Information Report?”
“No men, FIR…dats Fools Idiots Retards!,” Lobo Lobo concluded.
