A few years back, I was in Nairobi with my mother. Her cousin, who we'll call Nur Banu Auntie, picked us up from the airport. Now, prior to this I hadn't spent a lot of time around Nur Banu Auntie, so I didn't really know her. She looked like a typical Memon auntie in her 50s, except she was driving a huge stick shift Land Rover (and she probably shouldn't have been).
Anyway, we're navigating the horrible & dangerous Nairobi traffic with this tiny woman driving this mammoth vehicle.. her & my mom are talking. I'm looking out the window at the city, not really paying attention. All of a sudden, some guy in a car near us pulls some stupid move, cutting us off or something.
Nur Banu Auntie's reaction: instant "m-bomb" (the curse common throughout North Indian dialects) while shaking her fist at the driver.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I've never seen my mother look so mortified.
