The dialogue from a Bollywood movie



During my convalescence after a knee surgery, I stayed in a close friend Arjun's hostel room as it was in the ground floor and near the bathroom making it convenient for someone on crutches. Also, in case I needed something, he could help me out. Arjun isn't one to keep things neat and tidy. A bundle of soiled clothes and stinking socks would lie in a corner. Spiders and cobwebs abound everywhere. I pick up some item on his table and I'm greeted by a puff of dust. 

Fed up with his lack of cleanliness, I exclaim, "Is there a single thing in your room that's clean?" 

He replies with a deadpan face, "Yes there is."

"What is it?"

"My heart."

The Googly!

As non-professional weekend cricketers, we pride ourselves in the knowledge of the game's nuances. The best of the cricket pundits claim to be able to predict what the ball would do just by looking at the bowler's hand at the point of release. And of course, we discuss the game off the field as well. One such occasion, a team-mate wanted to test my credentials. "Tell me whether it's off-spin, leg-spin, doosra, googly or whatever" he blurted as he turned his arm over. "Back of the hand facing the batsman. Now that has to be a googly" I insisted. Pat came the retort, "Sorry, NO ball".
