This is something I remember from my childhood of a verse that some elders used to say

   Boom Boom Parimalam Naasthi
   Pe pe karna katoram
   Kashu - Pishu Maha Kashtam
   Nisabdam Prana Sankatam

Was told that this was Sanskrit (not sure since I am not by any means conversant or otherwise
   in Sanskrit)  but those verses stuck to my mind worse than super glue.

I am sure some of you would have heard this and probably know what it is all about - he he  he
rest of the readers I will let you guess it out after reading this.

Guys - this is one is colorless (pun intended too) - not for the weak of heart or the Puritans.  This is
something that happens to everyone any place anytime and no exceptions provides both merriment to others while embarrassment to the individual - well not all the time though

 - and everyone has experienced  it atleast once in their life - if not many many times and for this age is never a factor.

No No No not that !!!! you folks whose  minds are twisted.  No this is something that you
may say che che che - but face it  - it is the truth.

You may choose to read this or you may not - whatever it is - don't come back complaining that it is
tasteless or I have no sense of shame (no pun intended) because  what I am writing is -  God Honest Truth  - and no one can deny that at all.  Everyone  - right from a baby to an old old old old geezer has experienced, will experience till end of their life.

Now coming to the point - what I am talking about is um- er- er- ah -

The good ole wind that escapes us - intentionally or unintentionally   -  sometimes the silent and sometimes not.

Know why the silent ones have a "fragrance" of their own?  For the benefit of the deaf.

Ahhh - Having Said that - here is a collection of explanations that I have heard when the inevitable occurred.

"B - my buddy let one rip in the restroom.  He looked around and then asked me if I there was an elephant trumpeting nearby.

My nephew did so at the dinner table. The little guy in all cute innocence passed it off saying  - Mommy told me not to talk with my mouth full"

Jim my cool cool buddy said he could not find his lips in time to whistle.

Choocha my friend in Chennai used to say Kaatrinile Varum Geetham (Song that comes with the breeze)

Another friend used to hum Simon Garfunkels  "The Sound of Silence"

Angela said she would always sing Bette Midler's Wind beneath my........"

At School Physical Training my PE Instructor told me "Son -  when I said exhale -  it was through your mouth"

Dang - once in the airplane  -it was a little puddle hopper (the six seater types) someone let go -
and everyone looked at one another (who dunnit?)  I knew it was not me - how did I know  - go firgure it out.

he he he and what would I say - Airy Days are here again
