Slap season

July 3, 2009 posted by indiatime |

1. A member of parliament from Hyderabad, yesterday apologized to a local rural bank manager for ‘not’ having slapped him. M Jagannath, of the Congress party, told the media that he was trying to put his hand on the bank manager’s shoulder when his fingers lightly touched and brushed against the bank manager’s cheeks. The ‘friendly’ gesture, was however caught on camera and unfortunately for the genteel parliamentarian, appeared pretty much like a slap on the bank manager’s face.

The MP’s slap will now join the list of memorable slaps in Indian history, like when film star Mammotty slapped a fan and claimed it was a high-five. Or when cricketer Harbhajan slapped his colleague Sreesanth and claimed it was a camaraderie thing.

2. A lady principal of a school near Vadodara, got her share of slaps from her own sons, when she was found romancing with a stranger. The principal’s honeymoon ended when her own sons caught her in a compromised situation on the school premises. And her lover too, got more than his share of slaps from her sons.

(Not to be confused with another Vadodara woman who ran off and was found with a 14-year boy, though).

3. And Bollywood came up with its own share of slaps when actor Farden Khan was allegedly spotted slapping his sister’s boyfriend. But Khan claimed it was a disagreement over television wrestling that him and his sister’s friend tried to resolve in a novel way.

4. But the worst and the most tragic case of a slap came last month, when a father from Dharwad in Karnataka, slapped his own 3-year old daughter to death. 3-year old Sania was used to calling him ‘Anna’ (brother). The father, however, wanted her to call him ‘Appa’ (papa). So he slapped her so hard, she fell unconscious. Now there’s nobody calling the idiot Anna or Appa.
