I express one of the most weird nights I ever faced. The plot goes back to those days when I was in my Engineering days in India. As usual, me along with my flatmates were partying at the flat during a lovely week end. Cricket fever was high during those days and adding it with alcohol landed us into some other terrain.
I do not remember exactly which match was it. It was a well fought match for India and the team turned up as a victorious side. I was maybe 3 beers down. (1 GODFATHER = 3 FOSTERS').
After the presentation ceremony, all the guys were starving. the dinner was out in the evening and it was the mid-morning. We were total six guys with three bikes.
Ahh!! As usual, we decided to visit our famous emergency hotspot MAMA BHANJA RESTAURANT. 24 hours opened with a good variety of dishes. It was about half an hour drive. One the way, we were trying to be decent but it was of no use as we were totally wasted.
On the way to the restaurant, one of the pillion riders started talking about illusions as if A LADY IN A PLAIN GREEN OUTFIT followed us. At a first go, we all took it very casually. But, he kept on repeating it.
Eventually, I made everyone parked all bikes and poured some water on my friend. He was still another world. I was too but, the best of the lot to take decisions were me and the other rider.
The area was at the outskirts of the central city. He stopped temporarily and we started our bikes. After reaching, we all ordered our evergreen dish ALOO DA PARANTHA with white butter and mango pickle.
The haunted friend, kept repeating about the same LADY. According to him,this time she was talking with me. My friend asked me why I was not answering her question. I thought to be a prank or a pretending act. But he was so serious. I had no reason to discard him as the alcohol knock was knocked out.
The third friend asked the haunted one about what the LADY was asking?
He replied that, that the lady was asking: "PLEASE GIVE ME MONEY FOR BUYING SOME PATROL".
We kept on laughing for 20 minutes. With no choice left for him, he joined us with a nervous smile on his face.
After eating, we left back for the flat. This time all the bikes were far apart and it happened for the first time. I was with the haunted guy.
ON THE SAME HAUNTED SPOT, MY BIKE GOT STOPPED. I realized that it was the time to shift the tank from the main adjustment to the reserve adjustment. As I was doing it, a call centre cab came to us and stopped in front of us and a young lady in a green outfit asked:
"PLEASE GIVE ME MONEY FOR BUYING SOME PATROL".
We were shocked. I started my engine and speeded up towards our flat.
TODAY IS THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THIS INCIDENCE OR A CO-INCIDENCE.
DECISION LEFT ON YOU.

university bars
1:54 AM
20 October,2008.
Universities are universal. The culture of universities varies from country to country. Atleast, universities in India and the UK. Well, each university has its own merits and limitations.
Entering into the university life is a special transition for every student. Few consider it as a starting milestone in the race of converting dreams into realities, others consider the campus life for enjoying youthness, some aim for getting rid of a decade old uniform, sports fratenity for others and the list goes on.
No matter what aim a student plans, but the one common goal is to set in a university with good infrastructure and faculity. Well, this time I am not discussing about academics, goals, philosophies, orientation, focus and other high profile evergreen university terms.
Its all about the recreation.
The most amazing stuff I noticed in the universities in the UK is a pub on campus. SOUNDS WEIRD TO ME. Not against it, but on campus bars somewhat sounds like hen laying golden eggs. Yeah, the commercial aspect of universities.
Lecutres and bars operating simultaneously. Ruining the university environment. Same chunk of people doing the same chunk of activities over again and again. Its like a vicious circle.
When you really require to visit a place like this, you may notice the same environment. The speical feeling is dead and buried.
People buy drinks, start conversations and the same music with no variety in it is played. I describe about few topics of conversations either inside the bar or just at the enterance:
1) Football
2) People complaining about groups to friends. Critisizing group mates for not putting up a best shot.
3) How to quit smoking.
4) This music sucks big time.
5) Why is the entry is not free today? I bet nothing for a change today.
6) My make up gone. Lets update the face.
7) Gossips about people not present on the ocassion.
8) Planning after parties at the beginning of a special night.
9) Who the fuck describes about the party theme?
10) I must not miss my train.
11) The bar must get going in the week ends.
12) Sick bruv.
13) Yoy know what I mean.
14) Weird!
15) Please change the DJ.
16) What slang did you learn today?
17) Stupid accent.
18) Hey!! lets go early!! free drinks on offer!!
19) Happy hours!!
20) Dead place.
Brief description about each.
1) Football: A universal sport. Its like a warzone where supporters from each team dressed into the same jersey. COMMON SHIT FUCK SICK MAFIA I NEED ANOTHER DRINK BRIBED ETC are common terms. Tense matches may turn up supporters into violence. Damn!! Luckily, my primary sports is cricket. Gentlemans' game. :)).
2) Academic groups: The blame game is always on and the university ID inbox is full with requests to change groups, requests to abosrb individuals left into any group and sometimes offering incentives like cash, people taking a piss on the weakest candidate in the group, each individual having different opinions, no signs or lack of communications within the groups, borrowing somebodys work for a night and obviously not submitting the assignment on time.
3) Smoking: I quit cigarettes everytime after smoking one, it fucks my money, the machine is damn expensive and issues less cigarettes, can i borrow a cigarette bruv, i really hate people borrowing cigarettes from me, this my last cigarette, quit it or quite it and rolled cigarettes are better and cheaper.
4) Music: Same old music, all songs sound same from a distance, ohhh damn, change the genre, did somebody bribed you to put the same music again and again? hell, i am wasted and this music pisses me off, lets get out and feel the environment, weird tone, put some desi .......
5) Entry: i always swear not to go in when the entry is not free and i always do. thats sick, ohh!! whats new today, i could have stayed in the halls, same old faces, this place sucks, its a dead place tonight, good night for after parties in halls, wednesdays and fridays in a newly opened bar and dress weirdly and get free entry, i am hitting tonight. i am a member of the society.
6) Lady shit: Lands up in another world but the make remains intact, ohh congrats!! its my 100th visit to washroom for updating make up, tiny tots color combination, half wardrobe in the bag, high heels alarming, sun glasses during night? make up kit getting vacated in one night, haunted by hair styles and god knows whatelse......
7) Gossips: Do i need to mention about it?
alcohol+frustation+opportunity+target+jealousy+revenge = gossips(x)
where
x = absent person.
8) Planning: people are more interested in after party plannings. Atleast, the venue is different everytime. best time for the host to earn. selling drinks, cans and cigarettes 10 times higher.
Wasted people being observed by semi-decent people and enjoying the free comedy show.
9) Party themes: A beach night during -1deg c. WHAT THE FUCK!!
10) Transportation: running 30 seconds before the departure of the last train of the day.
11) week ends: its dead during week ends. pubs must be opened during week ends.
12) sick bruv: the most common term used.
13) you know what i mean: how the fuck i know what you mean?
14) weird: A mode of expression.
15) DJ: Always being crticized.
16) slang: multi languages mixed in one. HINGLISH, ENGLABI AND OTHERS.
17) accent: no comments.
18) free drinks: marketing tricks.
19) happy hours: good one for ocassional visitors.
20) dead place: atleast change the sitting arrangement.
dont know whats gained out of it. but a sound sleep is for sure. :))

Telepathy.....
Albatrox, a geek scientist, who believed in mystic energies belonging to the world beyond us, is on a mission to decipher the mysteries behind the unrecognized vehicle found at the southernmost tip of the Indian sub-continent called Kanyakumari.
He is representing NASA and the news is not spread like a wild fire. Is it a UFO?
Albatrox is not allowed to reveal his identity and is being funded directly by NASA. With no time frame predicted for the mission, Albatrox is in New Delhi. For such a mission, Albatrox is the right choice, as he is known for his stereotype character. His mission is known by the American consulate in New Delhi.
At the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Albatrox takes a cab for the American consulate. Mr. Jason is in the office and is shocked to see Albatrox, one day earlier than his actual date of arrival in India. Jason is not impressed with Albatrox’s personality. He is forced to help him as much as he can in the only meeting fixed. It is very hard to give all information about India in the only meeting. Isn’t it?
Jason explains him about weather conditions, terrain and informs him that, that he is not authorized to drive in India. He also gives him maps from the capital till Kanyakumari, connections through rail, road and air.
Albatrox is always fully loaded with his weird kit, comprising of masks and wigs. Jason and Albatrox, decides not to use the airways, as it may result into the real identity of him. The railways may restrict him, means restricting his stereotype character.
The only mode is by roadways.
He decides to leave the office and visits a nearby mall, where he buys an Indian looking costume. He puts his Asian looking wig and mask. Albatrox is transformed into an ordinary looking Indian. The only problem is his accent.
To rectify this problem, he visits a nearby travel agent and cooks up a perfect story for hiring an English speaking driver for his mission. The agent Dinko Singh decides to allot himself for the mission with an all Indian terrain “Tata Safari”. He shows him a fake ID.
Hence, the mission starts with a long journey.
With no navigating facilities, map and local knowledge of highways are important for a successful journey. Dinko marks highway resorts, one in each state. It is next to impossible to travel by road without these stoppages.
Albatrox is ready for such breaks. The first drive is from Delhi till a resort in Uttar Pradesh. After three days of driving, both are in the resort with different rooms. Albatrox, opens his research kit to study about the vehicle and starts taking notes. Dinko is dead in the bed.
Next morning, they leave for yet another three days on road journey till Madhya Pradesh. Dinko and Albatrox are good friends now and they decided to swap their seats. Dinko is another stereotype guy, who is least bother to know about the motive of the trip and most bother about the money he will get for the trip. He can increase his fleet by ten more cars. It is worth taking a tour like this.
On the way to the next resort in Madhya Pradesh, Dinko observes another car which started from Delhi and is almost on the same route. The same car spotted by him in the resort in Uttar Pradesh. He is focussed now. He is not sharing this information with Albatrox, who is busy taking his notes, when he is not driving.
They entire tour is like this, till they reach the last resort in Kerala.
Both of them are tired and decide to stay for three days and enjoy the Kerala scenery. The resort is a three star hotel with decent facilities.
Albatrox, is fully prepared with his notes and takes a break.
Just before the check out, Dinko again watches the same car. This time he is worried about Albatrox and informs him. Albatrox, ignores him and tells him not to worry.
Dinko starts his three hours journey till Kanyakumari. Albatrox, tells him to drop him at the city centre. They book another hotel. Dinko is surprised with this sudden decision. He has no choice.
Next day, early in the morning, Albatrox, is at the spot. He is surprised to see a gorgeous lady. Albatrox is focussed and starts having a look at the vehicle. They are in the jungle and no one is at the spot.
He opens his notes and starts analysing the vehicle. He takes readings. After half an hour, he discovers the exercise is in vain. The notes he made is not helping his cause at all.
With a disappointment he says: “I WISH THIS COULD VANISH”.
His is accompanied by another voice with a perfect synchronization: “I WISH THIS COULD VANISH”.
The vehicle vanished. Albatrox is exactly opposite to the lady.
He introduces himself to her. The lady named Anestissia is also on the same mission, who belongs to ISRO. They report “no vehicle found” in the final result.
Down at the resort, Dinko spots the same car. The driver of the car is approaching him.
Dinko says: “ARE YOU FROM DELHI ?”
His voice is accompanied by a synchronized tone, which belongs to the approaching driver expressing: “ARE YOU FROM DELHI ?”
That is Telepathy for you.

Once i wrote......
With no one around,
Making ground.
From shaking head,
To grilling red.
Need some sweetness,
To avoid stiffness.
Pure heart going for bangs,
Sure, waiting for it to rang.
Dreamt my days of the ring,
Clicked my gadget and ping,
Lost the crowns,
Being a clown,
Heart breaks with no one around,
Am I still making ground?
Far across the ocean,
Flowing along with motion,
Followed the mob,
Now I am robbed.
Hiding my pain,
With nothing to gain,
Rolling my eyes,
To seek advice.
Played the games,
But all in vain,
Echoed my soul,
Thats not the goal.
Neglecting the dream,
To be the cream,
Career is ahead,
Thats what I have as a rest.
love is life
or
life is love
fall in love
or
rise in love
thats what I couldnt decide,
help me with it while I recite.
With no one around,
Making ground
Making ground.

Lonely Road
A blog comes after so long.... really long.
With the passage of time.... my lifestyle has totally transformed....
Being introvert is probably acceptable to myself which comes naturally to me. But its always taken a setback to myself when I try to be extrovert.
Time constraints, office hours and immediate assignments since December 09 has taken a beating on my handful of friends.... but its with everyone i reckon!!!
I work with people who are not at all of my age group and every step I take is full with responsibility that it takes out a rapid transition of view... which is revealed..... Meeting the never lasting expectations and adjusting myself a thousand times to work like my colleagues is in my learning curve.
Its o.k. to do it and I got lessons...... " Never question on an act without knowing circumstances and intentions.
Only concern is being lonely.... yeah the same Mr. Lonely what Akon expressed.....
