So.
It’s been more than a year since I edited this page. What
has happened with me since then??
31st December’ 2011- Awesome party at my place!! Had
about 8 people in my small room all of them drunk as pigs and dancing….an
event, the awesomeness of which has never been repeated since.
January’ 12- Delhi and Gwalior Trip-
Some guy’s marriage. The only reason I went was D and
Chatur. And meet them I did. But the immeasurable pain and boredom of the
preceding 4 days was enough to make me hate Delhi forever. And not to forget
the ‘grand’ scale of the wedding….the tonnes of food wasted….made me want to
throw up.
March’ 12- Ezra’s wedding
This was a great trip. For the first time I was actually
participating in a marriage. Night time drives in Hyderabad for the first time.
A full fledged old city’esque wedding was beautiful. And on the way back to
pune, I lost my 15k phone.
Sharad’s visit
There is something about this guy. Everytime (and I mean EVERYtime….) I have met him since college, I find him more and more suicidal. I try helping
him and give up by the end of the visit. The January pain was revisited and
considering that this visit lasted for almost 10 days…I almost needed a rehab.
June’ 12- Trip to Gangolli.
It’s always discomforting for me when I have to visit that
place. Somehow, it reminds me of a place stuck in 19th century. The only
giveaway is the mobile phones and dish TV connections. Imagine there is only
one road- called the main road in gangolli which shows up on Google maps. There
are more temples than cigarette shops in the tiny village on the west coast of India And that it was June added so much more…I literally begged for the days
to pass.
August’12- Dhruv,
Chatur and Mudith at once
In an occurrence rarer than MMS ji speaking, all four of us
were together.... for the first time since 2007. And mudith’s entry was the most
magical. I cannot forget that phone call in the morning…’ raat ko aa raha hu…airport
lene aa ja’ . D exercising his authority over me the previous night and
throwing up at EG made me realize, how much I love these guys. Unfortunately,
the last night got screwed up. Got a fresh look at things I should have long foreseen.
October’ 12- A wedding and a 6 day holiday
Quite a happening month. The wedding itself was not a
highlight. But what succeeded the wedding is etched in my memory. It started
raining at 3 in the morning. Ezra, imran and I left in a car thinking how to
reach my place. And I was aching for smokes. And then, just like a godsend,
appeared a chaiwala who was open at 3.30 in the morning and in the heavy rains.
From there we went all across the city to Barkas just because Imran had heard
of a place which served Haleem at 5 in the morning. The 6 day holiday included
an ass-numbing trip to lavasa. A lot more happened here that I came to know of
later…
December’ 12-
December 9th. The date which I feared and loathed
the most….had arrived. And I had my brother for company. And much thanks to him I did nothing ‘stupider
than usual’ as I had planned.
December 31st- a largely forgettable day with a
night I wish would forget. The moral of the story running in the background all
this time was clear.
PS- Just tried writing something after a really long time. Couldn't think of anything else for a start.
