Call me ‘Malli’ after the by-pass surgery

- COURTESY

A group of close friends recently visited an artiste who was planning to undergo a heart by-pass surgery in a few days. The friends were happy that the guy did not appear to be bothered much about the surgery, though his wife had confided he was calling so many people who had undergone this surgery to find out details, especially about the post-surgery recovery process. In an attempt to cheer him up, one of the friends who visited him asked whether he knew that a man would feel 20 years younger after a by-pass surgery. The artiste immediatel­y called his young wife and said: “Did you hear what my friends are saying? A by-pass surgery will reverse my age by 20 years. So, you will have to call me ‘Malli’ (Younger brother) after my surgery.”
