Sad and Mad


Sad and Mad are two friends busy planning their one-week holiday next week


Mad: Why don’t we go to Kashmir?


Sad: Are you Mad?


Mad: Yes, of course….


Sad: No, not that mad…I mean, the real mad, screwed up in the upper storey.


Mad: Oh c’mon…it’s a cool place and I’ve never been there


Sad: It is…but if you go there, you would never be to any other place.


Mad: Why not? If you are worried about that VISA thing, I have my uncle working in customs, he can smuggle us.


Sad: Are you mad? I mean, screwed up mad? We don’t need a VISA to visit Kashmir.


Mad: Oh is that…when did they change that?


Sad: Just before you turned Mad.


Mad: Forget it...That leaves us with Assam, Arunachal Pradesh


Sad: Dude…you really are psyching me out. You want me to be taken hostage by some Chinese or ULFAs? I don’t want to venture into that unknown North-East.


Mad: Then how about Gujarat?


Sad: You are a goner…don’t you want to live peacefully, at least trip peacefully.


Mad: If you are worried about the communal violence, my uncle is in the police. He would help us out.


Sad: Err…isn’t he in the customs a few minutes back.


Mad: This one’s that custom guy’s brother.


Sad: Whatever…would you call that a pleasure trip or a pressure trip? How about “Summer camp with the police force”


Mad: Wowww….sounds great

(Sad gives a totally weird look which gets Mad back on track)


Mad: Ok…I was just kidding. Then what are we left with?


Sad: Why not a trip to Tirupati? The most happening place in the whole of South India


Mad: (mocking) Oh yeah…and get your head tonsured and visit those lovely temples in and around that place


Sad: Stop it Mad…that’s Lord Balaji….ok fine… how about Kanchi?


Mad: Excuse me…


Sad: Ok…How about Poori, Mahabaleswar…


Mad: Oh my God!!! You were never sad!


Sad: What do you mean? I was always sad…by birth


Mad: Oh yeah…in a way you are true.


Sad: Whatever…so where are we heading to now?


Mad: We will go to Kerala. So many places to hang out; Munnar, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Allepey…and the Kerala babes…ooohhh…Rock on!


Sad: That’s great …and it’s a gay state…right?


Mad: Dude….I never knew that you were gay…Oh My God! And we were like….staying together.


Sad: Excuse me… am not mad, neither am I gay…. Okay, is Kerala on now?


Mad: I guess so….unless you bring up something better!


Sad: Thinking of it, what about a trip to Hyderabad? Charminar, old city, pearls….oooo..isn’t it wonderful?


Mad: You know what… you are sad


Sad: I know that; since birth!


Mad: Oh my God...you are freaking sad

(They ended up going nowhere!)

This reminded me of a similar kind of story which I heard when I was a kid. There also they name persons by emotions and the story. It's kind of funny. Nice one. :)

Good one....but I thought you were going to list out about the other states also. Like...crowded kolkatta, 'dakus' in Bihar, bombings in Hyd, Delhi and B'lore. You have many things like this...
