It was a hot and hazy afternoon at Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Public Park. The air was thick with the scent of street food and the distant hum of traffic. But amidst the serenity of children playing cricket and uncles reading newspapers, a legendary showdown was about to unfold.
On a rusted bench by the fountain, Hamza sat with the aura of a man on a mission. His earbuds were in, and he was listening to a very special podcast: Donald Trump's speech about rats stealing cheese from Bangladeshi children. The volume was turned up high.
"And these rats," Trump’s voice echoed in Hamza’s ear, "they’re stealing all the cheese, folks. It’s a tragedy. Big, big tragedy for the Bangladeshi children. Unbelievable."
Hamza nodded in agreement, though he couldn’t quite figure out how cheese theft had become a global crisis. He was also, coincidentally, mid-dump. Yes, Hamza was in one of the park's notorious public bathrooms, a place where most feared to tread. But Hamza feared nothing, especially not furious Jeffreys.
Now, the Jeffreys—especially Furious Jeffrey—were known throughout the city for their unbearable arrogance and persistent whining. Today, Furious Jeffrey had come to the park for his usual workout routine of aggressively jogging while complaining about the lack of gluten-free options at the local vada pav stall.
As Hamza scrolled through his phone, pretending not to notice the situation he was in, the peaceful afternoon took a dark turn. Furious Jeffrey had spotted Hamza from afar, and for reasons known only to the universe and some poorly made cappuccinos, Jeffrey’s anger began to rise like a poorly-made soufflé.
"Oi! Hamza!" Jeffrey shouted, sweat dripping from his beet-red face. His tone was equal parts outrage and indigestion. "You think you can just sit there, in that filthy public toilet, listening to Trump?! Huh? This is a disgrace! An insult to every park-goer!"
Hamza, still deep in thought about the rats and the stolen cheese, slowly pulled out one earbud and muttered, "Bro, are you seriously mad at me while I’m taking a dump?"
Furious Jeffrey stormed towards the public bathroom, his fury making every step sound like a minor earthquake. "It’s not just about the dump, Hamza! It’s the principle! You’re sitting here, contributing to the destruction of this park’s natural beauty! This is why the world is falling apart! It’s people like YOU!"
Hamza sighed, realizing that peace wasn’t an option. He stood up (after flushing, of course), and with a calm and determined look, adjusted his belt.
"Jeffrey," Hamza said, as if he were a wise sage addressing a misguided disciple, "I was enjoying my time, reflecting on rats, cheese, and Bangladeshi children. But it seems your heart is full of rage, my friend. It’s time we settle this like men."
Furious Jeffrey growled. "Like men? Like men?! You're listening to speeches about rats while sitting on a filthy public toilet! This isn’t the behavior of a warrior—it’s the behavior of a—"
Before Jeffrey could finish, Hamza launched himself forward with the speed of a tiger and the grace of a Bollywood action hero. He grabbed a nearby plastic lota (because no true Indian warrior fights without proper tools) and flung it at Jeffrey’s head with laser precision.
"You dare insult my moment of zen?!" Hamza roared. "You shall feel the wrath of a man unbothered by toilet shame!"
The lota hit Jeffrey square in the chest, knocking him off balance. Furious Jeffrey stumbled back, his ego bruised more than anything else. He screamed, "This is exactly why this park needs more order! People like you are ruining everything!"
"You’re the one ruining it!" Hamza shouted, raising his arms in defiance. "You and your gluten-free, rat-hating nonsense! This park is for everyone, including guys who need to take a peaceful dump!"
Jeffrey, enraged beyond all comprehension, picked up a half-eaten pav bhaji from the trash can and hurled it at Hamza, missing by a wide margin. Hamza, ever the calm warrior, dodged the attack and whipped out his phone, pressing play on Trump’s speech again.
"And let me tell you, folks," Trump’s voice blared from Hamza’s phone, "these rats, they think they’re smart, but they’re no match for real leadership. Hamza knows this. Believe me."
Hamza’s confidence surged. With one swift move, he spun around, grabbed a nearby stick (which was probably a broken cricket bat), and pointed it at Jeffrey like a sword. "You may be Furious Jeffrey, but I am Hamza the Unmovable. And today, in this park, we shall decide the fate of peace and privacy!"
The two men locked eyes, their fates intertwined in this ridiculous battle for public bathroom honor and the rights of park-goers. Just as they were about to clash, a whistle blew loudly in the distance.
It was the Park Security Guard, an old man with a whistle that could stop a charging bull. "Arrey, arrey! What’s going on here? Fighting in the park? Over a toilet and Trump speeches? Bloody hell, grow up, both of you!"
Hamza and Furious Jeffrey froze, their rage dissipating as the absurdity of the situation settled in. They were, after all, two grown men fighting over a speech about rats while standing in a public park.
The security guard shook his head and muttered, "Idiots. Absolute idiots." And with that, he walked away.
Hamza, lowering his stick, gave a small smirk. "Bro, you gotta admit, this was pretty dumb."
Furious Jeffrey, still breathing heavily, nodded. "Yeah... but you’re still gross for listening to Trump in a toilet."
"Fair enough," Hamza said with a laugh. "Now, how about we grab some vada pav and call it a day?"
And so, the great battle between Hamza and Furious Jeffrey ended not with a glorious fight, but with a simple meal. Peace was restored to the park, the children went back to playing cricket, and Hamza, well, he finished his podcast about rats stealing cheese—this time, in peace.
