Of Kachoris And Jalebis

Yo to my fellow mortals... Had a reasonable day today (read as pretty good.) Funny, I never knew that people in Rajasthan have a bite of Kachori and then alternate it with Jalebis. Weird, ain't it? Piece of gyaan attributed to Noopur. Speaking of which, there were 3 bikes "escorting" her to the Panipuri place in Koramangala. Her "escorts" (read "us") were making loud noises on Hosur road (like shouting and clearing the way so the motorcade could pass through, and doing Salaams on the road) and the poor thing was getting embarassed. I'd have hated to be in her place.

Getting more serious in life, there was a thing I'd been thinking hard about. On saturday, AK and I were talking about Hyderabad and how we enjoy returning to Hyderabad and meeting up. Then I was a bit startled when I heard from his oral orifice that Hyderabad has now become our past. We are never going to return there and live there as we did. That part of life is over. Those days are never coming back, however hard we want them to. I was thinking along the same lines, but this just reaffirms that it will always be a place where we can enjoy a break and remind ourselves of our carefree days. We are never 'GOING BACK' there... AK had always been the more specific of us both, and his points hit straight home. No bullshit, just fact. But however, he used to long for Hyd. more than me, cos' by now I had gotten used to Bangalore and it seems really strange coming outta his mouth. But it's true, very true. There's too much life ahead to waste thinking about our past. New places, new experiences and new friends along with old. Life is meant to be lived indeed. And at that point, we extinguished our last Marlboro for the night.

Maaannnn... I just wish that right now, I could be standing on a beach half-naked and wearing only a jeans ragged with time, with my hands in my pocket, watching the Sun go down. And when the Sun has set, I would smoke and drink and chat and then party on the beach, around a bonfire. Then I would lie down on my back watching the stars that light the night. I would close it off by having sex with some nice female in a cozy tent... and a good night's sleep.

Thus wished the Arcane Crapper
