Funny..Me Thinking what I could

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Sitting on my suite middle of the night , i did not have anything better to do then give the UP and DOWN arrow buttons on the Digibox Remote a good run, first went all the way up then all the way down.. Nothing seemed to catch my eye.

The programs that I loved to watch somehow were not coming.

Some obscene serials were coming on which were not making any head or tail to me , which left me wondering was it the serials or was it Me who could not make any sense of them. Somehow for some reason i started to think.. (yeah i know , thinking and me DON’T GO TOGETHER, I am more of done it .. OOOOPS what did i do or WHY did i do it sort of guy)

So there is me thinking, in middle of the night.. wondering what can i possible do to make the otherwise boring time a bit exciting.

1. I thought I could go for a long drive.. YEAH RIGHT.. get on to the motorway driving aimlessly.. no fun.. The motorways are all lit up brightly, nothing coming in front of you so it all sounded stupid to me.

Now on other hand If it was in my hometown.. I knew exactly what I would have done.. sneaked out of the room, the front door makes too much noise so I have to be real careful opening it , I need to oil the hinge I decide every time yet it is still there making all the noise, cause if it wakes up my dad than believe me , He would still slap me even if I am 22 or 23 years old .. now if I was in UK I could have him Arrested for the assault 🙂 he he I know I am evil that way A lot of you have said that in the previous post too.

but in india it would have lead to a few more slaps.. so open the door real slowly, roll my bike off the stand.. roll it a bit further.. then ride it to my best mates house.. He sleeps in the outside room, next to the garage.. his bed is next to the window.. so I can put my hand in to shake him up awake.. ( I did that once and to my bad luck his grand-dad had come from village, i had no clue whose hair-head i had in my hand, shaking , oye  uthe jaa yaar, Uth ja (wake up , Wake up)  …

to my horror the voice came OYE kaun hai .. Kaun hai..  (Whose there, Who is There) oooops I ran so fast I could have defeated Carl lewis that day.. )

Then we both could go to morni hills.. now that is something really exciting .. driving through the narrow hill roads, every now and then two shiny eyes looking at us.. a Deer, Fox or panther.. and Us silly guys turning the bike towards it , driving to it .. narrowly missing the Khud on other side.. But hey we were not thinking then WERE WE.. thats the beauty of it .. Just do it .. pity i am still the same.. need to change …

Driving all the way up to find the Hotel up there is CLOSED, yeah right as if we did not know that when we started .. but it the fun the excitement …

Alas Here I am sitting on the Suite THINKING what to do ……..

2. I could go to a friend’s house here, ring his bell have a beer with him but then I am sure to hear him say WTF, DO you see the time Bik. Are you mad. I am sorry I got work tomorrow mate..

On Other hand If I was in my hometown, if My dad was asleep, If he did not wake up,  If there was petrol in the bike and IF I had money (toooo many If’s.. but that’s the Fun of it .. Cause today dad is not home .. so Two if’s taken care of .. Got enough petrol to reach a friends house.. Money WHO needs money ).. I could go to Vikram’s house, who sleeps on the top floor alone, the stairs are from outside as well, so no problem of waking grand-dad’s.. and I know for sure he will have money.. cause

( psssttttt….. HE IS RICH GUY… yayyyyyyyyyyy) … wake him up, he will never say WTF, he will get up and give me a big JAFFFI (hug)..

but his first words would be “Raaat bahut hai yaar SO JA”.. (Its too late, go to sleep)

I would say let’s go ..

He would look at me smiling , without a second thought he would say chal.. main aya.

His pet dialogue “Let me change my Jean”.. he says that all the time .. even if he is wearing a jean he would say “Let me change my jean”.. 🙂 then we would off course go and Shake my friend’s granddad’s Hair ha haha But today its lucky it is him alone in the room.. He would have his Bike but now we are three , not even .. so one would be alone.. Lets go wake up one more .. we go wake up babbar.. so all go together to AROMA sector 22 Chandigarh.. For a Pastry or Ice cream.. its open 24 hours.. The ice-creams they have there are WOW, especially the DREAMBOAT.. I always have that, I make Babbar also choose it, cause I know he can’t have all of it, so I get to EAT his too.. why not its the most expensive, and VIKRAM is with us.. he will pay.. CAUSE He will never say WTF.

3. I could …….. well a lot more but the rest tomorrow .. I am feeling very sleepy now, I can hear the birds outside, Not the Koyal in summers as in India, or the Maina’s .. but still birds are leaving their nests to get started for the day.. I got to sleep yet.. wake up.. get ready for work.. same old thing…

Oh I might come back tonight, if not very tired do the same thing.. leading to thinking.. and WHAT I COULD DO……..

so 3 ,4 ,5 ,6 …. some other day then…

  4. I’ve never had such good friends. At best, we used to go to some friends house to do combined studies. That happens for 10% of the time and we have fun for the remaining time. But still, my circle was studious and serious people. The ones who take life too seriously. Sigh.

    Purani yaadein taaza kar di, Bikram. Really, in India, I think we are all crazy. Life is too planned and structured here. In UK people go and drink in a pub for 3-4 hours after work and think they are being crazy. But us….yeah…we know how to live without money, without comfortable lives, we always find a way to have fun like noone can imagine. Great post.

    The plain simplicity of this post, really touched my heart, Bikram. The thing is, how you have conjured up situations, perhaps using your old memories with your best friends, has lent this simple “dreamy” writeup a very sweet touch. 🙂 So, did you finally sleep, or did you go off on a tangent yet again??

    Hi Bikram
    Lovely post.
    just yesterday at 12:30 night I was chatting with my best friend in India. She had night shift and was operating from home. She said that she was in Ovenfresh, chd, in the day time and missed me. I told her that I too miss the days in India when we 4 friends were together and visited Overfresh, Sindhis(channe bhature). Old friends and old memories are like diamonds who never loose their shine with passing time.
