Met My Friend

"How much time left?"

"Umm..say about 40mins "

"What say?"

Saiki gave a thought for a while but finally fell for my tempting offer.
"Chal Maa-ka.."

Destination Brigade Fuel was a 20mins ride from Majestic.Waiting for Indian Railway to arrive in time practically made no sense and so we decided to take a high before we were back to the railway station.

Suvro was coming to Banglore to meet one of his series of so called girlfriends (sorry bro,no offence!). Meeting best college pals after a period of more than 1 year always calls for a toast.But considering people like me and Saiki,we were always more concerned about the party rather than its damn blessed reason and worse of all,totally neglecting if at all the concerned person was present or not.So,so hopeless that we were,we two somehow decided to rock Suvro's arrival before his actual arrival and hence were on our way out there,deciding to attain a grand holy high that nite.

But fortune played a twist that day and things happened that were not supposed to happen.Unfortunately ,The Great Indian Railway was somehow on time and the train reached Banglore defying all our hopes & expetations of minimum 1hour late.Damn this Railway man! First of all they are never in time till date and secondly atleast they should be that much late as much they are expected to be!! So evidently we were screwed badly that nite..

"Shit man !"

"What??" I thought I guessed.

"Suvro's call.."
Saiki talked something on the phone that I could barely understand.Predictably,we were enough high by then. But his post-call words were dramatic,I tell you.

"Chudche* !! He have reached !!"

"Damn man,what to do..shit shit. I m a dead man tonite,he will kill me,he will kill me ." I knew Suvro and I was moving towards a dead nite today.

"What to do..what to do..what to do..",Even Saiki had gone nuts.

I completed ma peg in a sip and suddenly had a sudden eureka moment.

"Saiki !!"
He looked at me with all heveanly expectation..

"What?"

"Run Behenchod !! Run !!"

...

That night after I met Suvro and the day that followed,became one of my greatest memorable day of this weird never-ending life of mine. I longly realised how I love my crazy friends and there crazy way of love & friendship.

*FYI :'Chudche' is a Local linguistic version of Fuck ;)

Lost Life

We were crazy.We were strange.We were different,diffrent from all.We were that much complete together as much we were incomplete alone.We were no more on this earth.We lived in a different world.We flew in the sky,walked on the clouds!We were talking to the clouds! We broke all rules,all bonds of time !We were free.We cared for nothing,for no one! We had created a world of us,our own world..the world of hopes & dreams!

But whats's for a dream !It leaves you the very moment you open your eyes..
but some day,some day..a phoenix will surely arise !



"For me, I touched a thought, I know,
Has tantalized me many times,
(Like turns of thread the spiders throw
Mocking across our path) for rhymes
To catch at and let go.."

Last Four Lines from 'Two In The Campagna'
-by Robert Browning

Sake of last time..

"See dear do not worry, once you clear the 10th exams,life will be easier. After that your studies will be field restricted and hence lesser tension..lesser studies(!!?!)..This is the most critical time,for the last time show us that you are the best.."

After 2 years..

"See,this is the most vital period,now you clear this 12th exam,you will be a free man. All you need is hardwork now. It is this time that leads you to a smoother future life.You give your best now and get into any professional college,you are done with the business.Give your best for the last time man. Things will be easier there after.This is the most important time of your life dear.."

After 2 more years..

"See,I know colleges are where you have fun but I tell you,one wrong step,you slip and son!you are out to no where!! Its just a matter of four years yar,you have to get into a profession in any way. Once you are through,you are in a job,life will be simply best. All you need is to work hard ,may be for the last time.."

After 4 more years..

"This is the best time I know,but be aware son,you have a future..do not ever be reckless about your life. I know you are in a good profession but you should not forget this is the best time to make the foundation for your future. Just be careful and work hard,once you get settled,it will be more easier for you..just give your last best show and you are done !! "

After 1 more year..

Phew !! Forget it man..I am done for now,rather for the so called last time ;)
