Balwant Rai ke kutton bahar niklo
(Come out- Dogs of Balwant Rai!!)
For those who are familiar with this famous line it is enough to tickle their funny bone but for those who have no clue, its a very famous line of a movie called
Ghayal where
Sunny Deol at the peak of his voice challenges men of villain of the movie "
Balwant Rai".
It was summers of 2006 when I along with my family went to a marriage & it was fun as any time spent with Somil (my cousin & hero of this story) always is but that that night was super fun & I still get a smile on my face whenever I think about it. We returned around 2 am in the night and I don't know why but me and somil were very excited & wanted to do something crazy. Now when you are with somil and want to do something really crazy, you can put your brain to rest as he's the one who comes out with wackiest ideas and no matter how big a prankster you are, you'll get a feeling that you are with a legend.
As usual Somil came out with idea which he called "Confidence Boosting Exercise". According to this exercise we had to go to the terrace of our house and from there at the peak of our voice shout "Gaon waalon bahar niklo" (come out, you villagers). So we went on to the terrace and shouted the dialog 2-3 times each from all the corners of our terrace. It was loud enough to get the colony's watchman running on to the streets. He probably was sleeping and thought someone was shouting for help but couldn't see us as we kept mum for a minute and shift from the corner of the terrace so that we weren't visible from the street. Now in between that 1 minute Somil did some improvisation and came out with the Dialog of a lifetime. Watchman also after looking around went to some other street and Somil got enough time to gather all his strength and shout at the voice which was the loudest one can ever hear. He again went to the boundary and shouted "Balwant Rai ke kutton bahar niklo". It was loud enough to switch on the lights of 3-4 neighbors. Somil said "Finally kutte bahar aa hi gaye" (finally, dogs are out).
Watchman was again running around and scared neighbors were giving instructions to him to look around for who's creating nuisance in the colony at 2 in the night. We also joined in this confusion and gave a couple of instruction to watchman and with a worried expression asked our neighbors "Uncle kaun kar raha hai ye sab" (who's doing all this) & Uncle also replied "pata nahi beta, koi chor na ho bas" (no clue, lets hope there is no thief). Then with a final suggestion "Ho bhi sakta hai uncle, apne saare darwaze lock kar lijiye" (could be, better lock your doors) our task was over and amidst those laughing fits which we got after seeing those terrified faces, scared expressions and listening to silly instructions of neighbors, we finally went to bed and had a peaceful sleep.
