Overheard from Mumbai Local's Ladies Compartment

This was an incident, I had the extreme privilege to witness not many moons ago, while traveling in the Mumbai Local Trains, next to the ladies compartment.

A machiwali (fisherwoman) got into the ladies’ compartment with a huge basket of fish, with water dripping from it.

Lady in Train (LIT): Ae ae, idhar kyun rakha hai tokri
(“hey hey Why have you kept the basket here?”)

MachiWali (MW): Toh kya tera sirr pe rakhun kya ch*%tiya saali
(“Then where else do I keep it, on your head?” Followed by some random abuses)

LIT: Gaali kyun deti hai, inn log ke saath baat hee nahi karna chahiye
(“Why are you abusing, its best not to talk to these women”)

MW: Toh kya yeh sab lishpikk laga ke tu apne aap ko karishma samajhti hai kya bh%sad&%ki
(Do you think the excessive application of lipstick makes you resemble Karishma?” More abuses)

LIT: Ae saali kutti, gaali nahi dene ka
(“Listen bloody bitch, stop abusing”)

MW: Toh kya karegi bol, main apne marrad ko bolegi, woh tujhe zorr se ch&ddega!! Ab tu chup chaap ghar ja aur ch%%t ka missall kha
(“So?? What will you do? I will send my husband and he will bonk you violently. Now quietly go home” followed by more abuses)

LIT by now too embarrassed and almost close to tears finally moved away and stopped arguing.

I have a few thoughts:-
## Note how MW threatens LIT that she will send her husband to have some rough animalistic sex with her. As if it’s a punishment!

## Also noteworthy is the innovative abuses that the MW ended this cat fight with. “Jaake ch%%t ka missal kha”
For the benefit of those who didn’t understand here is a short glossary of terms
a) Ch%%t:- A vital female body part
b) Missal:- A common maharashtrian snack preparation
