Usually my approach towards online hecklers is that of George Bernard Shaw, who said, "Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig enjoys it." However as you'll see from this screenshot, occasionally I engage!

Rest in peace my brother.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Raj perform. It was like watching myself. Uncanny how similar we were in our delivery & how we engaged the crowd. We were like comedy twins & became great friends.

He had a great heart and shall be sorely missed.

Super story!

I’m not an expert on bad first dates, but this might be the funniest 😂

Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!

She said it was midwinter, snowing and quite cold... and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip (no overnight).

They were strangers, after all, and had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte !!

They were about an hour away from anywhere with a restroom and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while.

Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car.

They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself.

Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.

Upon finishing, however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender.

Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem, due to the extreme cold.

Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply that indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some assistance!

He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem.

Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.

As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down'. And you thought your first date was embarrassing.

Jay Leno's comment..... 'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.'

Oh, and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show. 😂

Sanjoy K Roy launched his book “There’s Ghost in my Room: Living with the Supernatural” at Soho House, Mumbai, where he regaled us with his encounters. I’m sure it’s a brilliant book.
Everything Sanjoy does is brilliant: he organises 25+ festivals across 40+ cities in 17 countries. Jaipur Lit Fest, world’s biggest literary festival. Kabir Festival in Banaras. Sacred Amritsar festival. Hay Festival, many others.
@SanjoyRoyTWA is a “ yaron ka yaar”. I wish him great success as a writer.
Pics: Amish Tripathi @authoramish and Samir Gupta of Soho joined the celebrations as did my wife Parveen.

@smitaprakash In my experience, when you insist on getting paid for a speaking engagement, the risk of such occurrences reduces significantly. Sadly, often, people don’t value your time until they have invested their own skin in the game. A hefty professional fee usually ensures a full room!

Dear @XiaomiIndia - Your service is so terrible that I can’t imagine anyone ever being a repeat customer.

A Turkish proverb says, “If a father bathes his children, both will laugh, and if a son bathes his father, both will cry.” Such is the painful beauty of life, where love comes full circle with time.

@thevirdas 1. No opener. You do 95.
2. Two openers doing 20-25. Break. Then you doing 95.

Either way, you do yours at one stretch.
