I got a few comments on my earlier blogs about our Doctor at Naini. So, we would take a small detour from our original plot and remember a very enigmatic character--the 'Dacter Saab' of Naini.I bet only a handful of you could recollect his name today. But he was a character who had influence on almost everyone of us.
Two days every week a man in his late 30s would enter our hostel in the evening in his creamish coloured maruti 800. A separate room was arranged for him and he was the one who claimed to have answers for our health problems. Gaurds would immediately yell at top of their voice on his arrival ' Bhaiya ...Dacter saab aaye hain..jinko apna dikhana ho dikha lijiye'.
A small line would form immediately upon the announcement outside his room. Guys were ready for 'Apna dikhane ke liye'. You would greet the doctor and enter the room and find a small chair to sit on and a table in front of you across which the doctor used to sit on his confortable adjustable chair.
First look at the doctor and you are convinced 'Saala BC.. yeh to Farzi degree wala Doctor lag raha hain'. The doctor never dissapointed you and your assumptions always proved to be right.For all the diseases in the world he had in his special lab prepared a common medicine. Go with cough, cold or fever or even heart attack he would still give this same medicine to all as a cure.
I often found this guy had a striking resemblance to our statistics teacher Mr.P.K Chaturvedi. I thought he was some kind of vigilante -Teacher in the morning,doctor inthe evening and crime fighter at night. Imagine him wearing a costume of say spiderman or say batman. A batman with moustache..hehe. Oh I got lost there. I remember a story about this guy and my dear friend Neerav.
One fine day Neerav started coughing. Suspecting viral he went to Dacter saab for help. Dacter saab showed some glimpses of his non-heterosexual nature (didnt want to write the exact term). He asked Neerav to remove his clothes..(sorry exaggerated too much there..just was asked to remove his shirt). And started to monitor Neerav's tummy and the nearby region :) . Startled Neerav said 'Dacter saab khansi ho rahi' and thought to himself ' yeh doctor saala kar kya raha hain.. dard ho raha hain chaati mein aur stethoscope lagaya hain pet pe???? ' . After careful examination Dacter saab tells neerav that he may have serious illness and maybe even have infection in his chest. He told Neerav TB could be a possibility and he has to immediately take X-rays of his chest from Nazareth . I don't know if his real intention was to take x-rays or was to take photographs of neerav's torso. Anyway, Neerav didnt understand Dacter saabs real intentions and scared as hell came back to us. Dacter saab was successful in brainwashing Neerav and he was convinced something was wrong with him and asked almost everyone in the hostel if he could have TB. After a day Neerav found out it was just common cold causing it and finally he was relieved.
There are many more such stories about the enigma-our 'dacter saab' But I need to have my dinner o. So c ya and wait for my next post if you continue to find my posts intersting.
Thank you for reading :) bfn

I posted the original incident in ur last post. But as we have seen in past, some budding writers just use cheap publicity gimmick to defame celebrities. None the less, from a neutral point of view I would like to mention that it was a nice effort but was lacking something.
Thank you for your appreciation
:) Neerav ..if the original incident was posted by you why didn't you mention it was your own story?
This post is not some gimmick or publicity stunt to gain cheap popularity. It seems you are trying to create some sort of unnecessary controversy. I think you learned that from or I would say got educated by your favorite channel ZOOM tv. Too much Page 3 news is having some impact on your real life too :-p
