16th August, Rain, Us

We met after a long time...say after two years. Some of us are now managers(Parikshit, Deepak), some are engineers(Guneet, Gourav,Abhishek) one is a budding manager(Akhil) and the most talented amonst us Hemant is at what 'super' designation, is, as always a mystery to us. THe evening was as wonderful as it could have been. Drizzle, walk, pakoras at Pari's palces, giggles, swine flu jokes and brief 'noke jhonke' with two dumbass shitheads and 'CC' of course.

Akhil and I went to Pari's place and were welcomed by delicious pakoras. A burp beacuse of cold drink added to the flavor. We walked through Central market to reach to 3C's. In the midway a funny incident happened, while I was busy explaining the story of a movie 'The Notebook' to Parikshit. A sexy girls passed wearing a super short jeans and a roadside vendor selling jeans asked her, "Jeans mein dekh lo madam". The lady looked askance to the vendor and we went ahead laughing over the incident. NO sooner we reached 3C's than drizzle started and we went inside the building. Jadli(Deepak) came in another 15 minutes, followed by Sannu(Gourav) and when Gunto(Guneet) and Hemant came we went to the food court. While we were in lift another incident happened. When we ent inside the lift, it went down and again when it came back to the ground floor, two elephant ass 'snob' boarded the lift.

Senior ass : "Is it going up?"

Gunto: " Obviously" .

Junior ass : "It's not obvious!!"

Gunto : "It is!"

Junior ass : "IT IS NOT!"

Sannu: "Aapko agar neeche jana ho toh lift neeche chalwa dete hain" .

Senior ass : "...!@@@@@@#@!#$@$!@#$#%#$%!% ......." ( I donot remember, she used English)

Gunto: "!@#@$!#%#$^$^$%&^" ........( something in english)

Senior ass: " YOu got into the lift from ground floor"

Gunto : "So you were noticing me" .....A killer I must say...Hats off Gunto bro!! lovely :)

We had reached 2nd floor by then..we came out clapping and praising Gunto for the killer reply.

Then we had another 1.5 hours of chitchat and photo session afterwards.It was a memorable day.

Taste of Rain

Yesterday it rained heavily and ruined whatever plans I had.Till 1 pm the weather was usual but then as I was to leave the college around 4 pm there was thick cloud cover,blue sky soon turned grey in Noida.I was in conversation with Rahul and looked up to the sky.Time was already running out for I had to reach a place at 5 and clock was showing 4 and then these clouds above to add up to the trouble.I quickly reached out for my bike and started it,as I did that,a thought entered my head,I must be careful with my driving today and so I started off,cautiously??No,I don't think so.I had barely reached 50 mtrs from college,on a service lane a Cab came charging towards me.Red was the colour and it seemed like a huge ship and I lost my mind at moment and moved to the wrong side.That brought me in front of the cab.Brakes were applied by both the drivers,the car rather the ship came 'sailing'(skidding)towards me and the sound of cab skidding over gravel scared-shit-out-of-me.I continued to move on the opposite side and the cab moved in the same direction.By the time cab stopped it had already brushed with my bike and I was on the other side of the road.We shared the glance and I didn't utter a word,I knew the mistake was mine and I had nothing to say.As I was in hurry,I didn't waste time there,thanked God for the miraculous escape from the head on collision which definitely would have put me in a mortuary or bed rest for 2-3 months.I picked up my cousin from her flat and drove to my place,I was not in my mind I guess for I was wondering at every stoppage,"How did I reach here,I was there moments ago??" .
Jam was all around and soon the drizzling changed to a something quite like a rain.Routes were diverted to avoid jam and I had to take up another route and I was thus getting soaked,but I didn't care,I had to reach as early as possible.I was wishing,for the rain to stop throughout the way,but it didn't :( .By the time I reached I was carrying a liter of water.I was still waiting for it to stop,but it didn't, so I decided to call off the plan and that was it,fucking 'that was it' .
I later went to marketplace nearby and a raindrop fell on my lips,out of curiosity I decided to taste it.I justified my act by a thought that a rain drop is the purest form of water,it only gets impure by other stuff in the atmosphere.Since it had rained enough to bring down all the suspended impurities back to earth,the rain drop on my lips is bound to be pure.Taste was awesome!! and thus all the drops fallen on my lips reached my stomach :D .
I was looking at the street light from the shop and at the raindrops in the 'limelight' ,it was magical.
I had one very good news from the very great person and thus this rain did not seem that troubling as it seemed earlier.
Thank you God for saving me,in many ways.
