CK calls Keeshy and the conversation goes something like this, CK: "Hey Keeshy I won't be car pooling today."
Keeshy:"Why?"
CK:"I need to take a detour on the way."
Keeshy:"That's fine man I can afford to reach office a little late I anyways work six hours you see unlike you who stays late."
CK annoyed,"Yeah that's not the point my work may take couple of hours."
Keeshy,"That's perfectly fine with me."
CK:"No No I do not and cannot make it. Sorry. Bye!"
Saying so CK slammed the phone on the table and looked at me in exasperation. It was at that moment that I burst into laughter which further infuriated CK.
Now for you as a reader to reckon the situation I will have to rewind a little bit.
On 23rd May CK and I bought our new house in Fremont, CA and as usual CK, a self-proclaimed environmentalist decided to hunt for prospective car pool partners at work. After a few days he recieved couple of responses which led to his healthy habit of car pooling. Some and alternate days they would all car pool together. So far so good. What happens next is disruption on this pleasant experience with the entrance of a very interesting character named Keechy.
Keechy who read the car pool mail was slow to react but was successful in convincing everyone that he could be a sustainable and reliable car pool partner which lead to the beginning of this drama.
Day One of car pool. Keechy drives up to our place. All sit inside CK's car and suddenly Keechy exclaims,"What man your RX model must be expensive?" For a few minutes no one understands the relevance of Keechy's question. In order to maintain peace and dignity CK replied,"Keechy you drive a Lexus car yourself don't you? That must be expensive too!" Keechy goes,"No man that car my brother gave it to me as a present. Personally I would never waste so much money on a car." To this CK's friends asked Keechy,"Your brother gave and you took?" Keechy,"Yeah man. He is rich. He founded his company and made it big. He shows it as gift for deduction and uses it whenever he needs it."
Everyone amazed at Keechy's luck decided to not talk furthermore although Keechy went on and on about how Lexus was a crimminal waste of money.
Day 2 another friend's turn. Keechy enters the car and goes,"Man Honda is so small no. Not much place for all. I feel tight tight can I move forward?" Friend goes,"Sure CK can you move to the back seat?"Grumbling CK does as asked. Keechy as usual moves to the front and says nothing to CK but manages to again criticize Lexus over Honda.
Day 3 another friend's car. Keechy enters the scenario and starts the conversation,"Prius is the best no? Full paisa vasool. I made calculations..."
Day 4 no one shows up but Keechy shows up at our door steps. "Hey CK no one showed up why man? Something wrong?" CK says,"Yes we all work from home on this day. Keechy's response to this,"No one told me man. I am all ready lets go." CK,"I cannot. I have decided to stay home and work remotely." Keechy,"No No I have to go." I enter the picture and tell Keechy that I need CK to stay home. Reluctantly Keechy drives alone.
Day 5 Keechy's turn. Keechy's contorted face is an indication that he did not like the idea of driving alone the previous day. Everyone anxiously waits for him to pull the car and Keechy goes,"I am not driving my car since I drove alone yesterday. I will pull car out next week. Fair game. It was not my fault that no one showed up yesterday." Flabbergasted CK decides to set controversy aside and volunteers to drive everyone. Once inside Keechy goes,"How much gas used so far man? Must be lots and lots!" That day I saw CK's other side when he confessed in me his budding desire to strangle Keechy.
Day 6: Keechy comes running to CK and calls everyone at work in the evening and says,"My wife is getting tense and is unable to handle our two daughters I should go help her." People decide not to pay heed to Keechy and continue with their work. That evening Keechy grumbles all the way about how fortunate others are to have wives who understand their husband's career and adjust accordingly. Per him his wife a "home maker" is incompetent and needs his help all the time. Additionally he cannot understand how people find work to do for more than six hours. For him eight hours leads to jittery nerves. The saga goes on till everyone's ears are sore.
That evening there was a gathering that excluded Keechy. For once men started scheming against their own kind. It was unanimously decided that Keechy should be left out from the group starting immediately.
However, the real challenge was to bell the cat. Who was to do it? That's when all the eyes turned towards CK. It was time for CK to become a cold-hearted leader.
And when the day dawned he made the much needed phone call that made me laugh to no ends because as soon as he kept the cell phone down it rang again and much to his dismay it was none other than Keechy leaving a very long voice mail. CK panicked and called others to assemble at a new place and just when he stepped out of the house guess who was waiting outside for him??????
Yes! none other than Keechy the great! Furious at CK for doing what he did he just walked straight upto CK and said,"Hey man don't worry. I have no hard feelings. Now where are the others? Come lets go its getting so late no!"
And with that the coup had ended miserably. The story remained the same and has continued ever since.
So much for master planning the shedding of Keechy the Great!
