Kambli and The Fish..!
“Vinod Kambli’s famous bald pate is turning into a social embarrassment for his gorgeous wife, former model Andrea…” M. Mirror, Sept 6th
The only time Saching Tendulkar looks a little embarrassed is not when a bowler bowls a googly to him, not when he gets out for zero, but when former classmate, friend and ex-cricketer Vinod Kambli appears by his side. Kambli has tried to sport different hairstyles, flaunts flashy clothes, wears earrings, knotted his hair at one stage and now has shaved himself bald.
It’s like he’s trying to say, “Hey guys please notice me, I’m Kambli!”
Now, there’s one thing that an exhibitionist has to be prepared for, and that is when you provoke people to notice you, you will also have to deal with jeers, giggles and laughter, which apparently his wife, Mrs Andrea Kamble couldn’t handle, and when she went to a mall with Vinod, heard somebody commenting about her husband’s strange looks, she got physical with the lady concerned, who complained to the authorities and had Mrs Kamble cool her heels at the local Mumbai police station, after being booked for assault.
Well Vinod before you go across to the police station and diffuse the situation or yell at your wife, here’s a little incident you should hear about:
A guy who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate. It turned out to be a flathead catfish that had apparently tried to swallow a basketball, which became stuck in its mouth!!
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to, because the inflated ball would always bring him back up to the surface. The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.
Did you get the point?
Let me explain: If you’ve decided to look bizarre and strange, like that catfish wanting to eat a football, you should tell your wife and also your children and maybe your relatives too, not to react to the snides and comments that will be passed. If you insist on eating a football with your funny hair and clothes, then get used to hearing catcalls, wolf whistles, jeers and giggles, like what the catfish must have heard with football in its mouth.
If you want to be different, learn to handle it!
I see many Kambli’s around, trying to seek attention in different ways, nothing wrong in that, but ask yourself if you are an embarrassment to friends and family with football in mouth or bald pate and pink shirt, then decide whether it’s worth it..!
