When friends meet....magik happens..!!!

Am writing this one so that we can relive the fun moments we had yesterday when we go down the memory lane some years later....I have written similar posts before but saw the effects of those few days back...when one of my frens read about one of them and not only got nostalgic...but also disseminated the contagious disease to the entire group.

With everyone getting more and more engaged as each instant passes on,it has become lot more difficult to stay in touch with each other....Its easy to say that with the technological revolution,distances and time have become an illusion....but i feel otherwise....No doubt, you can certainly "stay in touch" with each other, but nothing can replace the moments when u meet in person...and when friends meet, magik happens....definitely....

So we guys met at our cliched hangout place,CP.We =Rajat,Romit ,Sumit, Nipun and yours truly. Nipun was initially tentative...but if Rajat had to make it, Nipun was mandatory...or to say, rajat hai aur nips nahi...aisa to qayamat aa jaaye to bhi nahi ho sakta....so somehow even he made it.Astonishingly, it was coordinated by Sumit.....the guy rarely makes it to the occasion...but taking lead this time was simply awesome...He left home with two objectives in mind...one to have dinner at Pandara Road...and one to catch the 10:50pm metro...no matter even if any terrorist attack happens....he even took "his own" Rajat into confidence...So, everytime we would talk of having a golgappa plate or aaloo chat, there would come out a line..bhai pandara road to jaayenge hi....

So after couple of golgappa plates and aaloo chat in CP, we decided to move to Pandara Road finally.Evn i displayed my Schumi talent,though not with eterno...but with car...After some zig-zags and life threatening moments(we had to ask romit not to take his hands out.....of the window), we made it to the destination.....the much acclaimed Pandara Road.

Ohh..forgot to mention the calculations which all but me had been doing all this while....no dammit...it wasnt about their lives...i wasnt driving that dangerously either...infact, i was in full consciousness....it was the time by which they would complete their dinner and catch the last metro... for instance,one of those went like this:
8:45pm : at cp
8:57:    pandara road
23 min waiting time...
9:21 dinner starts...
10:08 dinner ends...
roam around India Gate for 23 minutes...
 10:46: reach metro station and catch the last metro at 10:50pm...
So most of the calculations hovered around these numbers....i apologize for errors in seconds,if any.

So, the dinner started after finishing with the waiting time...It would have been one of the most fun-filled dinner...with stories of Sumit's bravery and courage(yea..his story is in process of being sent for nominations to Wills Red &White Bravery Awards..!!), romit selecting a gal for me(yea..he started this business some time back...office me jyada kaam nhi hota na..!!!), rajat's confession of "sleepless" nights with nips...rajat's blitzkrieg calculations in dividing the bill to the precise amount(subah iift de kar aaya tha)...sumit tendering the precise amount...and so on..but the best one was from nips...."Abhi romit k dono hath busy hai.."

So after finishing the dinner, everyone again started to calculate...yea u got it rite...they had to catch the metro..so after some deliberations from rajat to spend some more time, we decided to have a round on rajpath and a chuski(barf gola)...and i was back behind the wheel...the next few minutes passed driving on the rajpath,having a chuski and getting clicked....and singing karaoke in the car..each posing as the next Himesh Reshamiya in the offing....

The clock was ticking...the coarse voices started rising to drop them at metro station..their calculations were going haywire...but then i, a humble person  respecting their feelings, made a dash towards the station...dropping them precisely at 10:47pm. am sure one of them must have got it rite....in fact, each one of them would have got some or the other part of the whole computation rite....

So we bid goodbye to each other,promising,as usual, to meet again very soon....till then we would keep reliving these moments through my posts... :)
