Well, went to meet my friends and catch up with them after work. I hate last minute plans specially when chicks are involved(don't get the wrong idea) but when I hang out with friends, it is usually with my guy friends and that is for a reason. I mean seriously, guys are simple and easy.We know what we want. Give us sports, food, a drink or two and we are happy.When we talk about something, we do not make it a point to connect something totally unimportant and unrelated to us and then make the person who said it feel like an ostrich who wants to bury his head in the sand.
Truth be told, I just wanted to get a drink and relax. As it turned out, there were more colleagues than what I was told prior to the meeting and I was a bit skeptical. All I wanted was a drink , some chicken to eat irrespective of the place, with a few friends and that was it.
So, I left my office and was standing in queue for a taxi when I saw a teenager all dressed up in his hip- hop attire shaking his head wildly as if he was suffering from some kind of a disease that disabled him from keeping his head in one place for more than a second.
Well, I did what I do best, I ignored his gracious and awe inspiring presence. After irritating everyone in the queue with his disgusting dance moves and off tune singing (I mean donkeys bray better than this guy sang),when a taxi actually pulled up he jumped the line and wanted to go first. He said that he was in a hurry. Hurry for what? I am sure that when you have colored your hair blue, you have piercings at god knows how many places, while sporting a plume of underpants and a t-shirt that reads “You must be blind to lose your virginity to me”, you possibly can't be going for a meeting or anyplace important as for that matter.Well he was the archetypal yo type kid who used the word fuck twice before boarding the taxi. As I awaited my turn, I could see that people around were looking at him with an expression of good riddance on their faces. Which got me thinking. I know I am no angel myself but there are some values that my folks instilled in me and I am thankful to them for that.The basics really:
1)Do not jump the queue.
3)Do not argue with your elders even when you know they are wrong.
4)Give your opinion only when asked for and if it is absolutely necessary.
Anyways, as I waited on the station platform for the train, I started to go down memory lane.
I was going to meet my friends at Colaba where my DAD used to go to office. My respect for my DAD grew at least a thousand times that day when I realized the work that he has been doing day in and day out for the last thirty five years.I always had fights with my DAD but deep down I always knew he was right. Still do. My train of thought came to a screeching halt and I was jolted back to reality when I saw people getting into the train. Looking at them reminded me of the water flowing from a dam once the floodgates are opened.The train enters the station and the people start rushing in.
As usual, my cash reserves were depleted and needed an urgent refilling, so I went to the nearest ATM(Thanks to a friend, I can now operate even the most complicated ATMs) and I had to stand in queue once again.
Again, there was a yo kid behind me who was in a hurry.Only difference was this time he was with his friends. As there was a big queue and I had nothing better to do, I couldn't help but overhear some of the exploits that these kids had accomplished.The conversation changed to "What do you want to be when you complete your college. And out of the five people one was undecided , the rest of them wanted to be famous.When did becoming famous be a career option . I realized my dreams late in life when the rest of my peers are well settled but I have a job and I am still pursuing my dream.
Nowadays any corpulent loser with a video camera and an I.Q. that straddles the line between mentally deficient and village idiot can achieve overnight fame by launching fireworks out of their behind, waving the finger at the airport or doing stupid things at places of high security or by railing against the injustice of being blocked or reported on the Facebook.
I made a call to my friend to inquire where he would meet me.I boarded a taxi and one look at my I touch applications again got me wondering.
Why do the wussies at the fruit company come up with complicated applications ?
Temprature , humidity, etcetera in farenheit , Celsius, Currency converter,and so on. I am sorry but I do not need to know this.Why not come up with applications that are actually useful?
I have a few suggestions:
Application number 1
1)Will it rain today or not?/Do I need to take my sweater with me today?
Application number 2
2)Tip calculator(Useful in restaurants )
You enter a number(your bill)
You get three options
(a)-good(if everything was good , you press(a) after entering the amount and it gives you the tip that should be left.10% of the actual bill)
(b)-average(This can be 5%)
(c)-horrible(It displays abusive language, and some sarcastic and insulting lines that can be used on the management)(Have two friends who can help with the abuses and the sarcasm).
Application number 3
Order Translator
Use: Decoding the supervisors orders
Takes in the supervisors orders and translates it to something that I could understand.
Seriously, this would be a life saver because ninety nine percent of the time I end up doing something totally different than what I have been asked to do.
Coming back to the evening. I reached the destination after calling my friends umpteen number of times.Finally met them and accompanied them .Well, had a cigarette with my friend and waited for the chicks to arrive from their shopping. They came late, Cinderella got pissed and made a big deal out of it. As usual, I was lost in my train of thought and paid little attention to Cinderella.What amazed me is that Cinderella knew five chicks went shopping together in the city's shopping paradise and he expected them to come back in time.Good thing that Cinderella learnt the importance of shopping to the opposite sex so early in his life.
Thankfully, had a good friend to keep me company who took us to his old college at Charni Road.Also had Pani Puri after aligting the train.
Cinderella was still behaving like a woman in menopause.Thankfully Cinderella was not complaining about cramps else I would have mercilessly teased him about having menstrual cramps.
Don't get me wrong , Cinderella is not gay. No, I respect gays, they know what they are and have an undeniably good fashion sense. Cinderella has a great sense of humor, provided of course that the joke is not at his expense. If it is....he seems to get rather tetchy. Anyways Cinderella is a big girl who will be having his coming out party anytime soon.
Come on Hamletta, take a decision.(Female version of hamlet)
Coming back to the evening, we had an awesome shake at Bachelors which thankfully cured Cinderella of his malady and he was back to his awesome self once again. Afterwards, we started walking in the by-lanes of Charni Road with the Chowpatty beach to our left hand side.We were all going towards Wilson College.One of my friends graduated from this college,so this college brought back bittersweet memories. He was very well acquainted with the area, and actually knew all the awesome places to hang out, to eat, to drink, well in short he knew the entire area like the back of his hand.We went to a place called New York and had some drinks. Spoke about football, Beckham, and life in general .The starters were great. After the fine dining experience, had mind blowing Kulfi and a walk on the beach. This is the main reason I like hanging out with my friends.Time just flies.
That's about it.
And yes, mission accomplished
1)Had a great time with my friends.
2) Got to drink.
P.S.: My good friend wanted to reach home before 12:00, and so he was aptly named Cinderella.

| No, he was not as cool as snoop dog. |

| Nopes, not like him either. |

| Perfect, just two shades darker. |

| There you have it, just perfect. |

| I wonder which one is my friend? |
Thankfully, had a good friend to keep me company who took us to his old college at Charni Road.Also had Pani Puri after aligting the train.
 |
| Awesumo. |
Cinderella was still behaving like a woman in menopause.Thankfully Cinderella was not complaining about cramps else I would have mercilessly teased him about having menstrual cramps.
 |
| Yes , he was displaying all of the symptoms. |
 |
| See, he is still confused.To come out or not to come out. |
