This ‘MOTELY’ group of IFGians consisting of AGN, SD, Pratik & Briha who hitherto indulged in air guns took an about-turn to divert their interest in ‘BLADES’ – Thanks to Moin our fellow Mumbaikar IFGian whose love for Blades has a keener ‘Edge’ over the rest of us.
With the result AGN on his recent trip to Amritsar got himself a ‘Kirpan’ and was in desperate need for a leather sheath to contain it. He also sourced and acquired a lorry leaf spring and was keen to forge a blade out of it.
SD on the other hand had a few assorted blades and wanted to sheath them and what better way than to embark on a DIY.
Yours truly (Briha) began rummaging his cupboard and unearthed close to a dozen blades acquired over a period of time (just for the heck of it) – Pics of these will be posted shortly.
The net result was a rendezvous last week when Moin took us to a Mochi (Cobbler) to select leather for our DIY project to make sheaths for our blades.
Having selected the right material we bought our requirement. The time was around 8.30pm a time when our gastric juices began rebelling and we headed towards a local eatery to satiate our hunger.
Our orders were placed and while waiting for it to arrive, Moin regaled us with the merits of different types of steel that are used in making blades and the process thereof…
AGN who was listening with rapt attention to Moin’s spiel asked…
AGN: Tell us the difference between a, Drop POINT & Clip POINT
Moin: Ah! It’s POINT that distinguishes one blade from another
AGN: I see, but what’s the POINT of difference?
Moin: You see the difference is in the POINT
AGN: But the POINT you’re making doesn’t tell me much
Moin: Okay, let me get back to the POINT
AGN: Okay, remember the POINT I’m making is to know the difference
Moin: That’s the moot POINT
AGN: Oh! I see now there’s another POINT besides Drop & Clip
Moin: C’mon, that’s not a POINT for consideration
AGN: Then what’s the POINT
MOIN: Okay, let me get back to the POINT
By then SD, Pratik & Briha realized that the whole conversation was going away from the POINT to the POINT of no return!!!!
BTW Guys I must confess that the POINT so fascinated me, that I decided to fabricate this fictitious story of the whole thing- Just for laughs!

That's "AWL".
