Something funny happened yesterday. NP cracked two ‘Cobra’ jokes, in a four way conversation between her, DS, Abhishek and me. Abhishek was a distant second with one joke. And surprises never cease, DS and me, were left with none.
I am repeating the conversation verbatim that occurred over the e-mails. Look at how even an innocent question from yours truly, leads to flood gates opening from the other end.
Scene 1, Act 1: DS forwards a joke. Nothing funny there. Happens all the time.
Sada and Ada
Once upon a time, Sada and Ada, visited a coal mine to find some diamonds.
Sada takes a right and Ada turns left.
Sada has only a shovel, but Ada had sophisticated diamond mining tools.
Yet, Sada finds a diamond but Ada doesn't (even after digging for 10 kms) !!!
Why ?
Kyonki...Hira hai Sada ke liye!
Scene 1, Act 2: Abhishek’s email id says abhishek.x.soni@whatever.com. I ask my question.
Pray tell me, what is this ‘x’ between Abhishek’s name and surname???
Scene 2, Act 1: Abhishek replies back.
this is my middle name " xavier", dint DS tell u abt this?
Yeah, this was the first CJ (Cobra Joke)
Remember, this a verbatim narration of the conversation, so, contrary to my image, I have added/modified/deleted nothing!
Abhishek elucidates two replies. One from me and one from NP.
Scene 2, Act 2A: My reply. Barely relevant.
Yeah, yaad aaya, DS had told us, this was the convo.
DS: you know, suno….suno…..suno…..Abhishek’s middle name is Xavier
Me: yeah? Mine is Subhashchand. And Chris Harris’s middle name is ZimZam. Damn.
NP: Yeah. Damn.
End of convo.
As I said, barely relevant.
The relevant portion comes now.
Scene 2, Act 2B: NP replies. Hold your breath. Cannot get funnier. Cobra Joke 2
Abhishek....
now u have crossed all possible limits...
so now u become the XAVIER COBRA..
No, that is that. Nothing more, nothing less. We also waited for the explanation.
Nothin came. We are all left in darkness.
Xavier Cobra? Some off breed of a rattlesnake? This one rattles our brains nevertheless.
Scene 3: All of us ask NP. Xavier Cobra?
Scene 4: NP replies.
Verbatim again. Cobra Joke 3.
Xavier COBRA bole to FIRANG COBRA.
Now, I so feel like opening a poll to decide whether, it is all over for DS or me, and to let NP be crowned the new Cobra Queen. No, there aint any debate on whether she should or not, but whether she should be crowned the Princess or Queen.
Note: The names have been changed to protect the identities. I don’t know from whom though.

All Hail The Princess...
seems like i'll have to pass over throne to NP very soon...i'll be called Queen Cobra II...that's so sad...but suneer i agree with you, the pace at which her genius is developing, i dont think we'll ever be able to compete with her in a few days from now!!
The new Princess has gone into a self imposed silence, and has decided not to talk to the media on this latest development. There are speculations that there is a merger on cards between the original Queen and the new one. It is gonna be a 50-50 JV, with NP 'joking' only when DS is quiet and vice versa.
Industry experts say this consolidation is going to be healthy for the Industry, but it will be the consumers who may have to bear the brunt of extra costs.
but why [i]cobra[/i] joke.. why i ask.. i as why?
