This is a work of fact of fact and fiction. Filter 'em as per your discretion.
It's the twenty-second day of the last month of the year 2010. I have another 5 hours to kill before I reach home (That should explain the previous line). The Mumbai Rajdhani left New Delhi railway station at 9.50 pm yesterday, 5 hours behind schedule thanks to the Gujjars who decided that the MBA-IB students of the 2010-2012 batch of IIFT Delhi had to earn their return journey after the listless 2nd tri-mester.
With Indian Ocean's Bhondhu playing in my head and on my laptop, my eyes taking in the passing scenery, I am transported to that magical night at IIFT when Himanish Mukherjee decided that it was best to listen to these guys stoned (ok, he was just a 'few' pegs down, but stoned sounds that much more cooler!). With a few minutes into the concert, Himanish went missing. Deep and I were really concerned. Not for Himanish, but for ourselves! After all, Himanish had promised us an intro with those two hot chicks in the crowd. Of course, he did not know them. What did you think? That was the alcohol speaking. He was at last found in the first row of the concert in a state of trance completely oblivious to the cute girl next time to him. Deep and I started slipping into depression...
And then Indian Ocean started playing Bhondhu........
Keeping with the Bhondhu theme, who better to preach the same than Kuldeep and Kashyap! The two long lost 'brothers' in the mela (courtesy a sober Piyush Kaushal!) were inseparable throughout trisem one and were going strong in tri-sem two. We thought that their relationship would reach the next level (whatever it is).....
Till......
The Ultimate Warrior League (IIFT's version of IPL) struck!!
Kashyap and Kuldeep were pitted against each other as team owners - (much like the lip-smacking Ambani brothers showdown).
Don't know what scars it may have left - but Rivat Hanss moved in (Kashyap's brand manager in UWL) and has been seen going around with Kuldeep. Talk about a double stab!
Kashyap reacted with vengeance!
He started spending most of his nights with Vishnu, Kuldeep's loo-mie.
No, No.Don't let the dirty thoughts enter your head.
They played TT.
Hmmph.....The games people play!!!
Nobody plays it better than Nikhil Kapoor. He suddenly got up halfway through the BRM lecture. The Madam who was chastising the rest of the class for not taking the subject seriously was compelled to see why.
"Madam, subaah se baitha lecture sun raha hoon. I'll stand and listen to the rest of the lecture"
Ma'am was aghast and started swallowing the thin air.
Kapoor smiled and attended the rest of the 2 hour lecture - standing!
That said, some of our junta just cannot stand still. They like twisting and contorting their bodies into all sort of shapes. Yes, I talk of the 'erstwhile' Abba - Ayush Goyal.
"I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind"
Ayush had been practicing it for a long time (that is when he was not snoring away to glory in his room). We even recorded a demo version of the same in Beriwal's cell-phone.
And finally.........with a twang of ecstasy - at Vaibhav's birthday party......
he let loose his Sheila ke Jawani performance.
I snap back to reality.....
Kats dancing on my lap-py
Who would opt for Goyal's facial contortions over Kat's dance?
A hundred IIFTians of the 2010-2012 batch of IIFT Delhi!!!!
You would too.....
You have to be here to believe it!
