Main Aisa Kyun Hoon?

After studying so ‘hard’ and giving my H.S.C. exams I finally thought that I was a free bird. But what I did not know was that there were some devilish plans in store for me. The results were out soon and then we friends decided to take a plunge in the dangerous ocean called Engineering. You know what inspired us to do that. Bollywood movies!!!! Yup it's true… I can vividly remember each typical Hindi blockbuster where every Hero's mother says “Mera Beta Bada Hoke Engineer Banega!” That was it ...We thought that if an Engineer is so much in demand then we should grab this opportunity with both our hands.

But then I had heard that passing Engineering exams was no easy task. Scoring 40 out of 100 is considered like taming a wild horse. I thought that if I could score 85+ in H.S.C …. Scoring 40 was no big deal. Poor ME!!! I was hallucinating.

So here I was standing in the long serpentine queues at the V.J.T.I campus. I was not the only fool. There were many. After submitting various forms… waiting for 3 long months… finally I got a seat in a college in Dombivli. Don’t bother to ask me the name of the college. You must have not heard it coz even I was hearing it for the first time.

I was elated after getting a seat in this college… Anyone will be happy to get a seat when 50% seats are reserved for OBC quota, 30% Girls quota and the remaining 5% for the NRI’s. So what if the college was located in the most inaccessible place of a village...

Going to college each day was like a tough Military Exercise. I had to cover an hour journey by bus, then 15 mins journey by train, then another 10 mins auto rickshaw ride and there it was….No not the college… It was still another 10 min walk away... I used all the modes of transport to get to the college... If my college had a Helipad I would have used the Air transport too....

The 10 min walk was the toughest part of the journey during the monsoons… We had to battle our way through muddy rivers… the dirt splashing bikes… the human waste…
And if you finally managed to make it… people would ask you, “Yeh Naya Rang Kaunsa Hai??”… So finally you could see all the students wearing brown. It was either Natural brown or Kichad brown…

And that is not all... After the Dandi March... we would be subjected to ultimate torture... ... We had to sit through the lectures of some of the most amazing professors in the college... This caused hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power...

Issi Liye Main Aisa Hoon!!! ...

Sizzling Sizzlers!!!

Yes.... I know its been a long time...... Here we are... We are back....
Many things have been said and written about us.... Let me tell you friends.... We were into hibernation.....not extinct..as some of our friends thought...... Maybe they will be disappointed to see us back.... hahahahah....

Many incidents have occured after the last post was up........ Some good and some bad.... But what we experienced last week was something worth describing.... So here we go....

Last Sunday... the Animal Kingdom decided to meet..... And the get-together was organised by none other than... Deepika.... Thanks so much Deepika.... She wanted to meet all of us... How great of her...So she called us and fixed the venue and time too..... The venue remained unchanged as usual.... BANDRA..... As usual I turned up late... courtesy Tarun..... (Dont curse me Tarun... I had to let out your secret....)... Its okay to be late sometimes..... After all we were late by just 1 hour.... I was once told that people who come late are always respected....

Even Rehan had turned up before us...... It is surprising coz he had some dumb VIVA the next day.... but he said... "Doston ke liye... Chalta hai Yaar".... Thank you so much Rehan.... we are all proud of you..... Now we are waiting for his VIVA results.... Hope you have done well..

Then we called up Sardar (Manpreet... for souls who dont know our pet names)..... and told him to bring his new car "Maruti Omni" along.... Yes folks... we needed a car with the driver.... Manpreet is a very safe driver..... he doesn't drive above 30 km/h speed barrier....

He drove us to Reclamation.....On the way there.. we were howling and screaming in the car.. Poor Sardar had a torrid time driving... I am sure he will not take us out another time.... Par woh hamse bachke kahan jayega???

We did some TimePass on the Reclamation flyover and After all the hublaboo... all started feeling hungry.... So three BAKRAS were caught.. this time i was not so lucky.... the other two were Tarun and Naveen.... You might be wondering BAKRAS for what??...but the smart alecs might have guessed it by now... yes we asked to give the Birthday Treat.... Oh No... My Bank Balance .... My HARD earned Money....

The Venue for the PARTY was chosen... KOBE.....known for its Sizzlers.... After the seating arrangement (Rehan chose the place where he could DIG into others plates with total ease..) and when everyone had settled down....we had a good look at the Menu..

Chicken Shashlik Steak Satellite

Then there was agroup discussion..... and the result was that each one decided to order 1 Sizzler each (Mat Mari Gayi Thi Hamari ) ..... The Sizzlers started making their appearance..... When everyone had their own Sizzler.... we said "AKRAMAN" and started the fight with the Sizzler.... Each was busy digging into the Sizzler... some were cutting it..some were dissecting it...

After sometime Rehan asked a question I wont ever forget " Denzi, Do you want some Chicken?? " I had guessed it.... Rehan had given up.... He is the one who snatches food from others plate..and here he was asking me if I want some Chicken....

A look around the table said it all....Everyone had a Sick look on the face....It suggested only one thing.... Yes, the Sizzler had won the battle... No one could finish the entire Sizzler... All the half eaten Sizzlers were lying in the plate and laughing at our plight.... (Yaad Rakhoonga).....

After sometime we decided enough was enough... we accepted our defeat.... and asked the waiter to clear the tables and the BESHARAM guy asked us "Anything Else Sir??" .... Then came that part of the treat..where it hurt us 3 guys the most.. THE BILL.... After paying the Bill we decided that from now on if anyone asks for a treat... we will bring that guy here..and order a Sizzler for him... But there will be one Condition.. we will pay the Bill only if he can finish the Sizzler else TATA BYE BYE.. hehehe..

I am not saying that Kobe's serve bad Sizzlers....But just be careful that the next time you go in.....Share one Sizzler among 2 friends... Isse Doston Mein Pyaar Badhta Hai......


And before concluding.... Naveen has penned down a poem for Mother's Day......
Here it goes.....

My dear MOM Happy Mother's Day
May Bad Health Be At Bay
This Is What I Say
Each And Every Day
Before On The Bed I Lay
And I Say It Again on 8th Of May

Isn't it great??? So guys..... whatever you do... give your Mothers' a treat this Mother's Day.... Bhool Na Jana....
