After going though couple of my pals’ blogs I found that they have written excellent and fun variations of the Farewell/Hostel night, So I thought I should write my version of the story as well.
Prologue
April 20, Monday @ T5,DCE.
The day began with lots of exuberance, I was looking forward to the day as it was supposed to be the 1st day of the last week of college :D. After a week of feeling very very bad, I was looking forward to this week, really!
The week began with rumors of the farewell happening on Monday, then Wednesday and finally on Friday. I being such an antisocial person did not wish to go but lets see. I also wanted to see how ghissu dresses up with makeup et all as he had been planning this for a month atleast!
The week passes by in its usual nonplussed feel!
24th April ’09
8:30 am
Haddi calls me,
Haddi: Oye main 2 gante me pahuch jaunga, tu college me mil mujhse.
Me: Theek hai, BTW aaj farewell ka kya plan hai?
Haddi: Yaar main to formals pehen ke hi aa raha hoon, aake dekhunga
Me: Chal theek hai, Tu aaja tab decide karte hai!
~11:30 am
I reach college, and call up haddi. He meets me at the gate and we head towards T5(Haddi as usual is in his formal attire, in this pinching heat, beats me).
As we were sitting there, Aashiq calls. so I ask him to come to T5.
45mins later, Aashiq comes there with MC(I hate that guy, but he is fun to talk to none the less ).
We all settle down at a table, and after some formal talk we all come down to what we do best! 😛
MC: Ankur to aaj office jane aaya hai
Haddi : Haan Yaar. Mujhse Wapas ghar nahi jaya jayega ab.
Aashiq:Mujhe ghar jana hai. (We all know why 😉 )
Me :Kyun?Makeup karne?
MC :Lipstick lagane.
Me :Mascara lagane.
Aashiq:F#*k.Mujhe to pata bhi nahi kya hota hai ye.Tujhe pata hai(looking at others).
Haddi:To ghar kyun jana chahta hai?Manicure Padicure karane?
Aashiq: Mujhe gadi uthani hai yaar.
This topic went on with the usual leg pulling and stuff!
3pm
Aashiq: Aaj Ghissu ko dekhna hai.Kya lagega aaj woh.Beauty Parlour me hoga aaj.
Haddi:Haan pichhle pure week formals pehen ke aaya hai. Aaj to…..
(As usual we maaroed a lil bit more of this bakch*di)
MC: Yaar Ankur!Tere bare mein college mein sach me kitni batein faili hain.
Haddi :Jaise.
MC:Yaar Pure College ko pata hai ki tune sucide attempt wagerah kiya tha!
(I literally choked on the pepsi which I was having)
MC :Aur bhi bahut batein suni hain yaar.
(At this point MC starts the voice recorder of his phone, I see this and smile at the plan)
Haddi: Jaise?
MC: Aisi kai saari batein hai jo Ghissu failata hai. Jab tu nahi aata to tere bare mein pata nahi kya kya ulta seedha bolta hai.
Aashiq:Haan Yaar
(Yeh to sahi me saas-bahu serial shuru ho raha hai!)
Haddi : Mujhe pata hai yaar. Sab dost bante hain aur peechhe se backstabbing karte hain.
MC: yaar. Pure college ko teri ek ek baat pata hai.
Haddi: Jaise
(Aashiq and I look at each other and smile.)
MC:Ek baar tune HP ke chakkar me suicide kar liya tha.
(I was seriously having trouble in controling my laughter)
Me : Yaar ye kya hai. Mujhe to kuchh pata hi nahi hai. Kab hua ye sab?
(Sorry Haddi, I just went with the flow :P)
Haddi: Aur kuch?
MC:Tu roz bandiyan badalta hai. Ek shdi ke liye rakhta hai, Ek affair ke liye aur ek…….
Haddi:Achchha!Badhiya hai yaar.Ye sab batein kahan se pata chali?
MC : Ghissu ne batayi yaar.
Aashiq: Haan Ghissu ne batayi.Bahut !@#$%^& hai woh.Muh pe kuchh hai peechhe kuchh.
This was going nowhere, a lot of ghissu bashing, finally we all decided to head home as Aashiq had to “Dress up” and ahem ahem! 😛 . Haddi and I went to my house as he lives in far far away land!
In the past 4 years, Haddi, Ghissu and myself have been “good” friends. There was a point where, haddi literally backstabbed yours truly, and ghissu had his moments as well. Also the fallout was well documented. Almost everyone in our class(if not the college) knows what happened. Still I find that I am friends with both of them. Have I forgiven them(I am no one to forgive anyone, but I had a point)? I kept asking myself! Maybe I had, I almost forgot what happened. But maybe I had forgiven, but definitely not forgotten. But I do find the situation amusing.
Anyways that taught me to not trust people, never ever. But here the situation is funny, Aashiq and MC have ignited Haddi’s revenging side.
He was ready to bash up ghissu, but said that he will wait for the college to end completely before doing something. Well, I won’t stop anyone.(I am getting evil, I know).
Cut to 7:30pm @ my crib
I am a VERY anti social person. Honestly I didn’t want to go to this farewell shit. Hell, even in my school farewell, I had to be dragged there by my friends. And obviously I didn’t enjoy any bit. But this time, because of something (maybe wanted to prove it to myself that I am HAPPY), I thought of going without being dragged there.
Having my mind made up, still with a bit of reluctance, I went to get dressed. I found this pretty old kurta and suddenly I thought of wearing ’em. Bloody hell, I didn’t want to stand out from the crowd( yeah, right 😉 ) Now I am not very pretty, so I couldn’t have possibly looked any worse!
8pm
So we headed out to college at about 8pm. Ghissu called up as we were on our way, I told him to meet in the mech parking. As we entered the parking we saw Ghissu’s car, I parked my car besides his and got out. Now the ghissu steps out.
Damn, Its for the first time I saw male species put on makeup :P. I could only guess how much time he would have spent in the beauty parlor. Hair spiked and gelled, shiny shirt and cut suit!(Gawd, how much effort has he put into all this!). I somehow managed to suppress my laughter. But anyways, we exchanged pleasantries and few jibes at each other :D. After a couple of photographs we realized that we were the only ones there.
Me: Abe tujhe pata hai, yeh hostel nite bas hostelers ke liye hoti hai?
Haddi: To hum log uninvited guests hai?
Ghissu: Abe aisa kuch nahi hota, farewell bhi hoti hai.
Me: Abe chal, poster me bhi dekhta. Waise abhi tak koi aur aya kyu nahi?
Ghissu: Aashiq aur Surd ko pooch kaha hai.
Me: Chal me Aashiq se baat karta hu, tu surd se pooch.
I call up Aashiq, knowing that he will be late because of obvious reasons.Still he promises that he will be there asap.Surd was also to come a lil later.
Now, we thought of heading towards the basketball courts( yes, that is where the “farewell” party was to take place. We strolled via the OAT and took few pics. Finally entering the tambu.
Well well well… numerous recognizable faces swarmed in the crowd. As usual as I am the pinata which get smacked by everyone, I was taken aside by few “mech-2” guys. Joked and exchanged pleasantries and jibes alike 😛 but all in good spirit. Then met up with ppl from “mech-1”, One thing I noticed, Each and every girl looks good when covered in layers of makeup 😛 . Bwahahaha! Still, some were looking ravishing!(But I have finally taken sanyaas, so 🙂 )
10pm
In the meantime, surd had come and was calling frantically to find out where we were. He was still dressed simply, but in anyways he had come for a nightout where he could spend a few more hours on his phone talking to his beloved mango! 😛 But inspite of that, he was “quite” for his high standards. Again we had snaps of the whole M1 group. It was nice to see some genuinely nice people there as well.
10:30pm
Aashiq: Kahan hai?
Me: Aa gaya BKL? tu kahan hai? main yaha hu! 😛
after the joking et all we met, Aashiq was looking a dude, We took some “strange” pics.
11pm
Then arrived Puppy brigade, Pups, Lord, Micheal Jackson(MJ) and Doggie. Sadly Tau, my nemesis was missing. He would have added the extra zing for sure. BTW someone who missed the FW was Wannabe Romeo, Did he crib about missing out seeing his beloved Victory in the farewell! 😛 Pups was his usual with his strange hairdos, (I still remember him having shaggy red hair :D) Still. Lord is one of the really nice people of our class, he was at his shant best, dude try to cheer up a bit! MJ was as usual bubbly and all(there were no kinds around for him :P). No comments for doggie!
Did these people take pics that night! I mean, my 1GB MS ran out in under 2 hours! And mentiong of pics, Ghissu ji, that dude must have planned in what poses he was going to get snapped, In each and every pic, he has his neck tilted at a slight angle and a small smile. I wonder how many hours he had spent perfecting his pose!
Also, there were numerous people, whom I shared a frame with, but looking at the pics now, I don’t recognize most of them 😛
11:30pm
Then all of us went to eat the sarkaari khaana, well, somehow stuffed in that stuff. Most of us(excluding me) chummed on the icecream. And we finally decided for the “planned” nightout. Most of us were game and about 10 of us were to go.
11:45pm
Then started the JAM session(fcukwoefull), I was reluctant today, as I usually just explode in jam sessions 😛 . Ab kya kare, things take time to heal. But I don’t know why, I thought what the hell, nobody gives a damn, so why should I? I am in this huge dilemma that I dont’t want to someone who the world wants me to be, but in this I am acting like someone who I am not. Anyways enough of my rambling bullsh**t. We danced, Anna spanked MJ 😀 . We did have fun!
I looked around, and I found few juniors, all dressed up, and I was like what the hell. I mean its ok that they came, but seriously, why would anyone will dressup and go to someone elses’ party? Beats me. But I am a sadist, so may be this is what nice people do. But who cares!
After it all ended, we made our way towards the parking (in between, there was a long period where we tried to convince everyone for the nightout) On our way, I met Chichchar, I congratulated him on his admission at Ann Harbor, we joked and promised parties and left.
After that I suddenly realised, I hated that guy, and I know he hated me back equally if not more, still we put up these fake faces. Without any reason, just to be pollitically correct? I was pretty vocal about it, so puppy asked me, who was I talking abaout, cos somehow he felt that my jibe was targeted at him, Oh! c’mon dude, I would have told it to your face then! Anyways he too figured out I was talking about chichchar as he pups witnessed my raam-milaap with chichchar the gr8. There was this another aspect that there were people who are really nice, but somehow never managed to be friends.And in all this this was the farewell, I will probably not meet many/most of the people again. Yes, I was nostalgic, but I am this emotional fool.
12:30am
Anyways, we collected at mech parking, Today we faced a strange problem, there were 10 ppl and 5 cars. Also Ghissu couldn’t go, as his parents had not allowed him. Seeing this I thought of calling at home and telling them of the plan.
Me: Hello, dad, we are planning for a night out so can I go?
Dad: Nightout? where?
Me: We haven’t decided yet, but maybe bangla saheb!
Dad: Bangla Saheb? at this hour? NO!
Me: Please, everyone is going I wanna go as well.
(after a lot of pleading and negetive response)
Dad: You do whatever you wish to do.(Angry)
Me: Ok I am coming back home.
This included 3-4 calls and lasted about 30 mins.
1am @ DCE gate.
It was final that i was not going, and I was unhappy. So I wished the guys all the best. And throttled off towards home, I crossed 140kmph on the empty streets. Entered home, didn’t talk to anyone and went to sleep.
Anways the guys had a jolly good time, and this is how my farewell went!
Epilouge
Enters Wannabe romeo
To be contd.
Disclaimer: Sorry for the ghissu and haddi bashing! its all in good spirits!
