Hangover-venue the kasauli hills,time 3 am

Finally,a break from the monotonous routine..i have been looking forward to around diwali time with lot of enthusiasm as most of my colleagues(read kalolis) were supposed to be in chd.Let me introduce u to the characters first
Mr VM-Supposedly big daddy of drinking.He wasnt so in college but has sincerely worked hard to achieve this feat in past 8-10 months,thanks to his job.
Mr SS-the typical seedha saadha guy,wd have prefered sleeping over nightout but buckled under peer pressure
Mr SG-The Good boy,who listens to evryone's problems,tries his heart out to suggest solutions and WAS habitual of healthy night sleep...not anymore,thanks to his job and few nightouts we had together.
Mr HB-The skeptical guy,not sure whether its a good idea go to kasuali more coz he wasnt sure abt SG's driving skills after boozing
Mr NM & Mr MD-The notorious guys,they truly symbolise murphy's law..if anything can ever go wrong in ur life,it will(and if not,des two ppl will ensure it happens)
Mr RC-yours truly :-)


It didnt require any photos to be clicked or videos to be recorded to make it memorable...for what VM did,it will stay down in our memory lane for yrs to come.
It all started when we guys decided to meet at lake.Its a heavenly feeling to be at lake,especially if one hasnt been in chd for past months.So,we were kind of reliving those college days again.Soon,we were off to Himani's at around 7 in d evening.The real party began there.We have all changed a lot in past year or so and the most profound change noticed in VM is,des days he always have something to talk about.Its like most of us have never been to Guhuwati or Chennai but it feels like our second home,thanks to VM's amazing storytelling skills.He guided us on Planter's punch and how to get best out of a smirnoff and we listened as any inquisitive naive individual wd do.The party continued till 11.
On an usual day,its d time when we bid adieu to each other and go back to our places,but tonite it wasnt meant to be so,the party had to go on..wid no place to stay at,our best refuge was in HB and MD's car.(going back to home wasnt an option,unless we believed this is the best time to reveal our boozing secrets to our beloved parents,but as we were still in senses,we decided not to).

12 00 mid nite
So we took off for kasuali,with SG,HB,SS,RC in one car and NM,MD,VM(hell of a combination,notorious guys with big daddy of boozing) in another.
As expected,Vodka just doesnt satisfy VM rbc's...its just a mean to warm up his body neurons..they went on for some BP while we continued our journey towards the hills.We reached Timber trail,suppposedly our first stop.By now,SS had realised he overdrank and the guilty feeling creeped in..so just after his career's first post booze Puking,he fell asleep in car.Meanwhile,SG,HB and RC were waiting for the other car to arrive and were enjoying the chilly air.For us,it was like a december night.Soon,the other drunkards reached.One could sense Vm had reached his threshold level with his unstoppable colgate smile and his shirt removal act reminded me of Dada's reaction after winning Natwest series in 2002.We danced without a melody for few mins before we decided to move on.By now,we all were hungry.It was 2 30 am and the pleasant part of the story was nearing its end(once again,TED's grandmother was proven right,KID,NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER 2) :-)

3 00aM
we reached a dhaba where the only thing on menu was chai with veg sandwich(better call it green tomato slices squeezed between 3 days old bread with mdh chat masala).By now,VM was getting out of control.He drank hot tea as another of his bottom's up act(the after effects of hot tea on his tongue shd still be der).
I always relish the conversation ppl have once they are influenced by boozing..so here's an excerpt:
VM(wid hand over his head):tu saamne baith ja,tu baith ja,tuu saamne jaa ke baith ja.tu shi chi chup shi chi murmuring murmuring(again holds his head)..
we had no idea what he intended to say,and i doubt even he does :-)


3:45 am
So after all this healthy meaningful conversation,we decided to put VM back into MD's car and make him sleep.Tea was followed by expresso coffee.By now,even SS and HB were asleep.So,four of us,NM,MD,SG,RC sat around in dhaba and thats when the worldly talks were initiated,we call it job cribbing.well,i havent had much to crib about in recent months except sheer idleness and how my joining keeps getting postponed all the time and MD was just too busy updating his orkut status msgs on his newly acquired gadget(read a simple phone with gprs facility),so the main contributors happened to be NM and SG.As always,SG happened to live to our expectations,of being a good listener and trying to explain why working in corporate sector sucks but we have to live with it.He is truly an amazing listener,probably thats why he has people as versatile as TJ and Sahil gupta/kapoor or Sandy among his good friends.Soon,this talks came to an end too.

4 30 am
These past 45 mins changed VM's boozing career forever.His first ever Post booze puking happened to be on back seat of MD's i10.Had it been a t-shirt painting competition(natural colours ofcourse),VM had no competitor.There were circular prints,den der were amoeba type patches and that wasnt all,this hair conscious guy made sure he applied the natural conditioner to his hairs too.Any attempt to wake him up went in vain.
Soon,we started our journey back home..hats off to MD and NM to have survived deadly foul smelling,which VM could create in car deadly enough to be used as remedy for H1N1 virus.

5 45 am
Destination-NM's locality
Intentions-To bring VM back to planet earth.
Here was another dilemna..NM and MD,the experienced drinkers,believed VM should be straightway dropped to his place.SG and I couldnt disagree more.We had no intentions to get him kicked by his parents :)

SS was still busy sleeping when 4 of us made die hard effort to clean up VM.His hairs were shampooed with sunsilk to get rid of his natural moisturiser(and this guy couldnt stop complaining,he prefers dove over sunsilk).No matter if VM remembers anything which happened at night,but he wont forget this ON ROAD bath at 6 am with chilled water.
(After all this cleaning,SS couldnt help mentioning he didnt expect that all of us would put in so much effort to clean VM of all the dirty stuff..i cant agree more)
Thats were we call adios to NM and MD
6 30 am-
On way back to chd,VM had urge to do some more puking..so we had to put brakes on the way.Meanwhile,SS woke up and as if he couldnt see his dear friend VM do it all alone,out of nowhere,he followed the course.It was kind of funny,really funny..

7 00 am
Finally we reached the city but we were supposed to stay at SG's place,that too after his parents leave at 8 00.By now,all of us felt like innocent child who have been sleep deprived for last 24 hrs for no fault of theirs.Now,it was kind of a big dilemna,after a night out with true followers of murphy law,Nature's call had to strike in this odd circumstances.Well,i wont delve more of details onto a blog here,but next one hour was hard on us.All in all,SHIT HAPPENS,IT REALLY DOES!!

8 30 AM
Reached SG's place..and the fine nightout came to an end..zzzzzzzzzzzzz

P.S-Dear VM,Apologies in advance. despite ur repeated request (dhamkis),i couldnt resist putting this fine evening into words.See thats what excess of idle time can do to a person,i managed to write this multithousand words story:-)

Lets hope evry diwali gives us chance for such nightouts...
