inglorious batchmates

The plan would proceed without a hitch, the gang thought. The contact, an actress, an agent, hidden right under the nose of the nefarious. They would pose as her spot boys, handymen or whatever, and enter the precinct the next day. Shankar and Kumar were ready,”kill the chairman at all costs. He has to die.” There was a problem though, their tamil was bad and they had a distinct accent. “No, this won’t do! We’ll be exposed”... They decide to get themselves Marathi aliases to go with their accents.

The next day the atrium is shrewdly monitored by the secret service and leading the posse is an able colonel. “Hi Ragini what a pleasure, you look as resplendent as ever” . “thank you, that’s very sweet of you…” the exchange of pleasantries continues for sometime while the two look on restlessly.” Who are these two?” “oh these two are my assistants, we were nearby shooting for a movie and thought we could pop in for a peek.”

“You don’t seem a political person..”.. “I’m not, The chairman is kinda cute, baby faced, thought I could pinch his cheek while he’s here” she titters.  “Hmmm.. unga peru?” “oh! these two are from cochin”..” oh!.. *random Malayalam lines the author doesn’t understand*”. She realizes her slip,” they are basically Marathi people, their command of other languages are poor…” “oh.. ok btw ragini, where is your regular assistant?” 

“rachit? You will not believe me, it is pretty funny, he sprained his leg on a mountaineering expedition”

“hahahahhahahah hmmmf hahha, that’s hilarious, but I saw him with you yesterday at barista… unless of course he injured himself climbing parangi malai yesterday night…” uneasy silence…. “Lighten up, you know I tease rough, now where are your passes?”

 She hands over their passes.

“Oh great names, I love Marathi“; he goes all ‘mane,thene,ponmane’ at them as they stand flustered uttering a ’ka??’ now and then. After some time : “let me get your names straight. What’s yours?.... mangathram roadside? Can I hear it once more please? Magathram lodshed? Kotse is it? Like the side dish we have with pongal… oh kotse, with a G…. Brilliant, btw why don’t you two start hitting the gym??... oh god where are my manners, I’m Col. HNS Landa.” What? “ HN Shyam Landa”…
