Half past midnight and I got my twinkle toes and that urge to consume fire water...so what do I do???

When I was a little younger,dispersed as it is now,I had a mad group of friends...mad as mad can be...n then in that group was me...the only source of sanity binding the cuckoos nest!!!!


It was fine summers night...cold as hot can be and when the normal human being was sleeping in the comforts of their homes...I got the ITCHIES!!!!

ITCHIES(English : Insanity) is the insane urge to do crazy stuff without checking the repercussions.Modern science has shown that Itchies are a sign of greatness and happen only to people on the thin line. The nerves in the brain refuse to send signals to the balance of the body and adrenalin takes over.


PLUTO...the result of all ITCHIES and people suffering from them....the night club open till 6 AM.
I call my partner in crime...a certain Sonali Kanwar...the looniest of the loonies....ITCHY was her second name...always ready to drink!!!!!
Slumber got driven away just as i mentioned Pluto to her...n 01:00 I had made her jump over her gate(she used to get locked in) n we were headed to the king of good times...where the old monk was absolut'ely a sinner.....

The dreary drive through the ravines...oops streets of delhi and we hit what WAS the only respite...the road from JNU to PLUTO...the forest of Nottingham....with its greenery and all that came with it in Delhi.
Zipping on in the darkness not wanting to miss a second at the bats abode and racing a few more ITCHIES we start to cross the little bridge over a lil pond and as it was only possible fr one car at at time...the three or four cars of the convoy start the crossing...back to back with each other...n in the middle of the "pulliya" suddenly there is a CRASH BOOM GUSH GUSH......THE DARNED BRIDGE GAVE WAY AND WE FOUND OURSELVES MINUS A ROAD AND STRUGGLING IN SOMETHING LIKE WET QUICKSAND...SINKING IN!!!!!!

HUH :-O

The car refused to go forward or back and sank in two feet into the slush and water started gushing in...Sonali in her little black number in order to impress me started screaming....
OH LORD...if the predicament already wasnt enough!!!!
I dont know how..but within five minutes a crowd had collected around the catastrophe...I think Sonali's screaming had done the magic...
Now I had three problems...
1)We were slowly sinking into nothingness and why would the water be smelling funny???
2)I had a woman screaming next to me as loud as a siren as if i had taken all she had...eeew!!!!!!!
3)A cut throat crowd had collected around enjoying every moment of this free show!!

THANK YOU INDIA...for giving us MCD...HYSTERICAL WOMEN...A CROWD THAT WOULD RATHER AGGREVATE TO ENJOY THEMSELVES RATHER THAN HELP!!!!!!

Jeez...what was this.
I had the presence of mind to call the 100 number n then I got thinking as to what the next thing to do would be.......
I remembered my friend Pareekshit..the guy with a TATA ESTATE...the means to pull my car out!!!
01:30 AM call to the police!!!
01:32 AM call to Pareekshit!!!
01:35 AM Sonali decides that screaming now is not a requirement...takes off her shoes and wades across to dry land leaving me to my destiny!!!
01:51 AM Pareekshit arrives...a TATA INDIGO n a rubber tube??

Huh had he not understood what I had told him???
"BRO...I am in the heart of the city and sinking into the road which is now flooded with water..need you to get a long chain and your estate...The bridge has given way!!!"

Well on being Questioned...he told me that he didnt believe me and thought I was pulling a fast one...
HUH???
What was there not to believe...it was right in front of his eyes....
Well but a brave effort indeed we tried to pull out my OPEL with his INDIGO n a TYRE TUBE!!!!
RESULT:HIS CAR GOT DRAGGED IN AS WELL!!!

IT WAS ABSOLUTE PARTY TIME!!!

02:25 AM: THE POLICE FINALLY ARRIVES!!!!!!

I wade my way through the torrents to reach them and explain my sad state of affairs...n the fact that I have a girl with me n that I need help!!!

POLICEMAN 1: naam kya hai???
ID aur license hai??

POLICEMAN 2: ladki se rishta kya hai??

HUH??

POLICEMAN 1: Mujhe to gadbad lagti hai!!!

POLICEMAN 2: kahan jaa rahe the??

Here I was in a plight beyond doubt..n they were questioning me like a criminal!!!

VIVA DELHI POLICE!!!

Luckily for me Pareekshit is a well connected bloke n he flashed some contacts and immediately the cops were on a different tune!!!

Anyhow out of the darkness suddenly we saw lights...our neighbours in the mess were more sensible...they had called a TOW TRUCK!!!
It arrived and we all rushed to it...but again business is business!!!
The truck driver quoted 3 ctimes as much n we fools not knowing any better said yes...
One by one the cars were pulled out..a couple wouldnt start but German technology...mine started and we zoomed out from there after spending two hours in that shit n smelling like it...where do we head...PLUTO!!!
jeez two hours less of drinking time....
THE ITCHIES!!!
:-D

  1. Nope, you don't know me. But I happened on this... and it was too much fun to leave without a paw mark.

    Hence the comment.

    Viva la ITCHES. Which rock your world... and make great reading for those on the sidelines. :D

    Cheers,
