Bahadur - The power of an immortal. The soul of a human. The heart of a hero. Sometimes it takes one to kill injustice.

I blog only when something provokes me to a great extent, and its been a long time since I last got provoked. Now, time has come; I have been provoked, and this time by a guy called "Bahadur".

In fact, I don't know his real name, but most likely his name would be Bahadur, if you had seen him, you would have know why, and I know I am a Racist. 

For starters, a little about Bahadur. He always wears a well pressed uniform, disciplined!  may be his uniform also has a few stars, I can't really recollect. Girls who like men in uniform, he is the guy for you...go for him, I don't mind brokering the deal. He always wears a cap, I haven't seen his hair in the last two years. I could have called him a 6 feet giant had he been a couple of feet taller than he is now. So what if he is not, he is a 4 feet giant. And if you look deeply into his eyes, he sure looks like a man on a mission, with a damn serious look on his face, he appears to be on a deadly mission.

May be he is on a deadly mission, may be he is from the armed forces, or he could be a spy. May be he does a lot of things throughout the day, but whenever I see him, I see him SAFEGUARDING! He safeguards a part of our country, and I am proud of him! This part of the country happens to be closer to the southern boundary of India, to be more precise, in Karnataka, to be even more precise, in Namma Bengaluru, to be even more precise, in JP Nagar, to be even more precise, he safeguards a ~ 60*40 feet vacant plot next to our company.

Well, our Bahadur is a watchman working for a restaurant next to our office. If you didn't guess that Bahadur was a watchman before I told you, then you are a dumb @#!$ and should consider hanging your self. You guessed it even before reaching the end of the last paragraph; good!  we need engineers like you; aren't you an engineer? don't worry, shit happens in life!

Coming back to Bahadur, his BIG mission as far as I know, happens to be to not let me park my car in that empty plot! and my reaction to it is - WTF and F*%$ OFF - my brain can't think beyond that.

In a quest to accomplish his mission, initially he asked me not to park my car there, but he had a angry face when he said that. So I made an even more angrier face and asked him to ... you know what. Since then he has never asked me to not park my car there. But he continues to walk around with his angry face. He gives a very dirty look, and keeps staring. Staring is the part that irritates me the most. Imagine someone doing this to you 5 times a week, twice a day, continuously for 2 years. If I quit my job, it will be because of Bahadur :D

Till a few months ago I was under the impression that he treats everyone who park their vehicle there in the same delightful way he treats me. But I was wrong. One of my female colleagues happened to get a very different treatment. She parks her bike there. Till a few months back, this is what he used to do. Hold on to a nice place for her to park her bike. After she parks her bike on its side stand, he used to park it on its main stand. He used to clean the bike's seat, and , whenever he found the bike's mirror crooked, he used to set it right. I was shocked to hear all this. It reminded me of my BE days, preferential treatment is not something new.

However, his attitude towards her, I heard, has changed a lot recently. No more cleaning the bike, holding a parking space and no more setting the mirror right. Now, he just puts up a nice angry face at her, minus the staring. But the big question is, what happened? what went wrong between them?  why this bad ass attitude towards her now?

Only Bahadur can answer all these questions, but we are not the best of pals, are we, to ask him all these questions. But had to find some answer to these questions, so we brain stormed. We did arrive at some kind of conclusion. It appears that his attitude changed after my colleague came back from her month long vacation. May be he is upset that she didn't inform him that she was going on a vacation, a long one at that. Had she just passed a word about her vacation to him, may be she would have been spared from this treatment. A mistake has been made, it can't be corrected,  he thinks injustice has been made to him and I don't think he will forgive.

All we can do now is wait and watch out for his next move. It could be deadly, but I am sure he will do JUSTICE!

BAHADUR - THE POWER OF AN IMMORTAL. THE SOUL OF A HUMAN. THE HEART OF A HERO. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ONE TO KILL INJUSTICE
