Its already friday evening…everyone’s still busy, nobody has the time to come up with a plan for the weekend. well, not all… heres one guy who calls up promptly at 6 and asks ” maga eshtugantege manege hordtaa idya?”. I instantly ask him ” yaaake maga? enu plans? ” pretending to be innocent . Needless to say, everyone is aware of this destination popularly known as “madhusudhan house”, the enciphered word for madhuvan b/r. The ambience is characterised by a canopy on top with cool breeze from all sides and ever-pervading swearwords from some sleazy characters in the neighbouring tables .
Let us usher in the first guest of honour mr.sant who is specially dressed for the occasion.He would have probably decided on that in the morning itself. the best part is that he knows ( or atleast claims to know) each end every waiter there… incase he doesnt know then, “kumara solpa illi baarappa” is the usual way of addressing . Next there are references to the occidental lifestyle with phrases like ” maga california nalli eshtu pubs ge hogiddini… aadre , madhuvan nalli sigo maja chance illa…” this is followed by his mumbai escapade. Here are some excerpts of the conversation “maga, alli beach nalli avala jothe….”, “maga, when i was not keeping well….” still, some part is still not known to anyone. The pandora’s box is yet to open !!!
Few minutes later, comes our raja..he is probably 10 minutes late, but very much acceptable.Its not his fault, afterall whenever someone tries to reach him on his mobile, a sweet voice saying “neevu kare maadida chandaadaararu….”. but let us thank our stars the news has already reached telepathically if not telephonically and his presence is already felt there. The initial smell of alcohol is enough for this man to start his high decibel words of wisdom. A tight hug is the first thing his good old buddies expect when they see him . Then, after a few updations on whats happening with everybody else, he remembers something and says “misse illa…. nange ondu large vanilla with sprite and some ice cubes”. There wont be a single day where he wouldnot have had encounter with a stranger who fortunately or unfortunately happens to be a babe and this man wouldnt have started off with a conversation. He proudly announces ” maga u know wht i met this girl at my office and the first thing i said was said ur eyes are lovely” I bet he wouldnt even remember her face, forget the eyes!
Please make way to our swift and not so stout ritz who is persistently engaged on his ngage. I just notice him the first time he comes, the excitement on his face is beyond description. But what happens to all his energy after sometime? Infact, he is popularly known as the man of gadgets. A new mobile last week and a worldspace radio this week. i must admit that the new swift he bought is awesome… but as the saying goes like every thief leaves behind a piece of evidence, I have always noticed hairbrushes and earrings fallen down the front seat. He confesses “howda? next time i shall give it back”. After sometime none of us even realise he’s around. He is spotted somewhere with his gestures similar to mr Saif’s futile efforts trying to convince the other person in DCH ! A few seconds later, he says” maga solpa problem aagide, will be back in an hour ” Then the guy whom i introduced just before screams at the top of his lungs “This is wht i hate about having gf’s, che… eee hudgiru decent aagi kudiyakkoo bidolla”. But, this man is not even around to hear the comment, he has already fled the scene….
Its time for me to introduce the future Branson… but there is a difference on one count… i think Branson was not a virgin at the time he started his first youth mag called student ;-). This guy has the potential, but not the patience. He starts off, “hey prash, nice shirt for a change, but please change ur hairstyle”. He then continues “u know wht, i met this guy who is just around 26 and he owns an e-class, mann wht style and confidence he has !!”. I’m sure you are gonna own own soon. The problem is this guy has too many options in life and sometimes even having so many options is not good.. especially when you are hitting on 2 girls who happen to be sisters and you are not able to decide who is better…btw, last week when we met at the same place, mr. suraj, u said it was the younger one! now, wht happened all of a sudden?
By this time some of us have already realised we are missing vat and rags… vat for his plethora of one-liners ( believe me, he has not repeated them even once) and mr. rags as a dumb observer, who comes up with stories about each guy’s dialogues the next day. This guy has fun at other’s costs… afterall, its good to have fun without drinking too…
Its half past the last call for alcohol and right from corruption to music to bollywood to philosophy to girls to nostalgia , almost all topics have been given due justice . At the end of the day, wherever our discussion heads, we end up realising all of us are correct and conclude how unique our group is. All of us have our individual commitments, professional resopnsibilites, yet nothing can stop us from this rendezvous… All I can say is we rockkkkkkkk!!!
PS: Hey, did I talk anything about myself ? ofcourse not….its my blog !!!!!
No batting korging… ( Slang for desperately seeking to bat)
