The saga of the burp

What is it about me ? I swear, most days I'm just a burp magnet! I attract people who .. well .. burp in public! And not just a subtle burp but a full fledged earth-shattering one.

Just the other day, I was coming home from work in a cab when the driver burped really loudly . With the windows up and the air-con on full blast, I couldn't help but grimace in the back seat. Why would some one let out any kind of air in a closed space with a stranger ! Fart or burp , same thing ! 

Anyhow, so this particular experience or a few others that I have encountered led my mind to refresh an unpleasant childhood memory. I was less than 10 and was sitting in a small town in Punjab with my aunt, uncle and a bountiful of other relatives . The conversation was grown up and so I wasn't paying much attention to it until my uncle let out a huge burp! I swear it was so loud that people down the block could probably hear it . As I felt disgusted, he let out another one ! Dear lord, why torture me twice!!

So, whenever that particular uncle was in the room, I would bolt like a fireball lest he let out another one of his trademark burps.

To this day .. I don't venture near him or his house. No nada .

So, anyhow, getting back to the original topic of me being a burp magnet. Last couple of days, I have had cab drivers burp at least thrice! Common.. its like my childhood is chasing me all over again! Really! Stop the loud burps ya'all!

Rant over.

Hope you enjoyed reading this little burp rant that probably didn't make much sense,but it did help me pass my time in the cab while on the way to work (buwahaha).

This particular cab driver is really nice and hasn't burped once!

Looks like the my burp attracting power is slowly fading away! Hallelujah !

Please note, this post was written in light humor and if you are a loud public burper and got offended, then I am so not sorry! Go behind close doors and burp lah! Don't torture strangers!xx

There ends the saga of the burp.. hopefully no more rants :D
