It was one of those regular hackneyed sessions that we’ve lived our entire life sitting idle (after company meetings of course)!!!And yet again, here we four were present, the same four mischievous chaps, who were always there to rather pull each other’s leg and have a blast for the evening!!! It was not a booze session but the one in which people talked only non-Sense when they weren’t supposed to. Sometimes, I wonder how insensible we are when we are in senses and how logical we are when driven away. Or that is the whole point where we are finding ourselves lost!!!
You guys decide from the real life incident described below. This was the same gang…which included me, the non-stop talker, Amandy Singh (Thapar wale), the only surviving Sardar; Love Walls, the only dude that has a name for which we crave literally, and our very old (don’t go by the looks), slow moving baniya brother named Varon G; man behind all girls’ ******** (something missing huh!!!).The evening was a regular sitting session with Rooh-Af-Za in our hands and some chieslings in the other…It all started with the same regular discussions/ debates of how frustrated, depressing life is, and wasn’t the place (read Gurgaon) proving a hell for four bachelors putting up together with no strings attached, read no girl-friends!!! But this was gonna be a night when all sorts of serious discussions got a lot more serious when the topic of Indian epics came into picture… n no exaggeration, here came in the entry of the greatest epic, Ramayana in our discussions!!! What each of us ignored was the fact that nobody was thorough with Ramayana, and nobody wanted to be tagged 'ignorant' about it. So everyone thought of chipping in information in bits n pieces, as if Confucius was here for a lecture with Robert Langdon sitting to crack some secret code and build a huge empire out of no-where. Man, booze would have been a lot appropriate drink to help us accomplish that!!! But as said, “Darr sabhiakoilagta hai”, yahan par, a more refined was “Sunane ka mann sabhi ka karta hai” :-)
But before life could roll any further and every individual can show-off the religious prowess, Love, the mota-bhai,who doesn’t drink at all except those lemon/mint breezers (that too to his heart’s content), show-cased the path for a mind-boggling new incident in Ramayana(I'm afraid if Maharishi Valmiki knew about it), and we always thought that breezer was a non-alcoholic drink until that day!!! There were immemorial times when Maharishi Valmiki wrote Ramayana and there is a time now when Rishi Love Walia wrote few anecdotes once again with few shots of breezer down the gulp.Narration as per real-life chronology:-
V. Gups (as usual in under-shorts sitting right in the middle of the lobby): Ki gall hai Amandy, aaj tussi jaldi kis tereh??
Amandy (with usual sad looks on face, as if pata nai kitno se ladkar aaya hoga UDHAM Singh): Kuch nai yaar,***** Team hai, I’m just frustrated with this city!!!
Gups saab, on hearing this, came forward with a certain sulking and a similar usual comment, “**** Dii..i know yaar!!!”I was also there through-out listening to the conversation , trying to figure out something I didn’t know.Here comes the entry of Walia sahab:-
Love:- Guys, Kapde alag kar diye hain,pani bhar diya hai, raddi bech kar aani hai (his daily musings)…
Getting frustrated with such a domestic, celibate, dull life certainly asked for shots of daaru and there was this Rooh-Af-Za (no money to go for an elite drink) this time ready with chieslings lying on the table.Once we were on with the discussion on Ramayan, Love started to roll it down our gulp, and believe me guys, it pained real hard.
The source (ofcourse Wiki) described Ravan in Ramayan like this (courtesy: Love Walia):-Guys, tumhe malum hai , sagar manthan ke time par, Ravan ne matke ke content ko na peekar, matke ko kha liya tha, jisme kuch left over Amrit bache rehne ke karan, matke ke saath who bhi uske pat mein chala gya!!!
Gupta sahab, jinhe ek shot mein chad jati hai:Kya baat kar raha hai???? Amandy, ek hor glass bana mera..sounds interesting..Please go forward Love...
Love, knowing that he has hit the right chord of mysteries out there, hand-picked his long bermuda shots to the top, ignoring the eccentric organs of body!!!
Gupta Sahab(with highest levels of curiosity):- Who matka ka peetal(read bronze) ka tha ya mitti ka??? Khaya kaise usne??Ek to hum hairan they iske sunaye hue incident par, and gupta sahab was using all his IQ curisoity to highest extent!!!
Love:- Yeh mujhe nai pata, aur important yeh nahi hai ki usne khaya kaise, important yeh hai, ki matke ne Ravan ko Amar (immortal) bane rehne ki shakti dii..
We three had our mouths open wide like dinosaurs with such an info. and we felt like totally ignorant people/dumb ass** in this world who knew nothing about such an important event that happened in Ramayana!!!
Rooh-Af-Za ke do-do shots aur lagane pade..And that was the moment of thrust for Love which gave him all the impetus to continue further.
Love (with breezer shots in succession as if enjoying seeing his competitiors lose):- Is tereh Ravan ko marne mein Ram Bhagwan ko dikkat hui..
Ma, that was one great conclusion, all tremors to world of belief, logic and rationale).
Me (standing and trying to enact Ravan during real battle when in front of Shri Ram):- Ravan must have quoted to Ram Bhagwan in following manner, with his fingers running on his tummy and dancing on foot alternately with mischievous smile, “Aa Ram, aa, maar mujhe!! Mere pet ke idhar maar, udhar maar, yahan maar, wahaan maar,ha ha ha, tu kahin bhi maar, I got full round protection throughout, a matka within me, ha ha ha!!!”
Man, we laughed our ass off for such an explanation and the guy never objected to any of it owing to the fact, it was there in wiki!!! May be, down the line, few eons down rather, people would get to hear all sorts of stories getting composed with worldly humor of highest degree to at least bring a smile on an individual’s face rather than spreading knowledge around!!! No hard feelings here for anyone with no intentions (even if coincidental!!!). All names have been dealt in a twisted manner. Great guys to spend the session or two on daily basis and have time of our lives laughing and having a roll!!! Source of inspiration to write this incident was my twin (the way he finds he humor in world is truly amazing!!!) Thanks Rahul. And luckily, we did find ourselves enjoying without booze requirement!!! Thanks guys and say no to booze!!!
