Me and Jo, yesterday night were talking about all the fun we had during college days… those comments on girls, comments on our faculties… pranks, affairs… etc, etc…
like this, old college memories were striking back and we remembered one of the forgotten place where we had fun to the fullest extent…
it was nothing but Jothi’s old rented room just behind our college…
I know lot many friends of mine reading this blog are forgotten but they were part of the fun that we had in that place…
those night out parties… Those barking dogs… Those irritating mosquitoes… what not…
I must say, that was the place when I had the first talk with my loved one over phone… (I even remember thst place on terrace where I used to sit and talk with her…!)
Some of the incidences related to that places, are placed in my mind which I cant forget whole life… few of them are as follows….
My first encounter with Police… (Cheetah… night patrol police)
That night something flashed in our mind and we decided to booze.. Immediately me, Jo and Anjan… who were always together at that time went and got 3 bottles of Beer…
At that time I had a weakness for beer and once I am drunk with even half a bottle, A strange person within me used to come out… when I used to drink beer, I used to talk total non-sense.. full philosophies, emotional talks, extremities of emotions… Time was somewhere around 1.30 or so and we 3 were walking on the near by bridge just in front of that room… The place is like a small forest with weird sounds coming out the bush and trees… And thus we were talking about some matter which I don’t remember and Anjan noticed that one bike was approaching towards us.. I was on top of my voice, singing some song and throwing stones at those barking dogs, (I hate barking dogs… Especially when they keep on barking at night with their weird sounds and ruin my sleep)… Anjan immediately noticed that it was Cheetah.. (Night patrol police bike painted like cheetah’s yellow and black spots)… He asked me to shut my mouth… I was not in my own control and again on top of my voice I asked who the F!@#$ are they… And the next moment that bike was very near to us and stopped, The Police inspector called 3 of us… JO was totally silent… I was out of control and was acting like a mad.. And Anjan was the only guy who could speak sense at that time… He told… We were studying for exam and so just came out for a walk.. Then again I started.. These Police people wont even allow us to walk on roads, or even to be free as we want… Constable sitting behind the Inspector might have noticed this and started to swing his “Lati”. Anjan closed my mouth and dragged me telling police that we will go to our room immediately…
I came to know this incidence next morning when i woke up from sleep and these two explained me what had happened last night… One more wrong step at that time in front of police… I would have ended up being behind the Bars….
Jothi’s first Break up… (Which lead to his revolutionary drastic change as a person)
Jothi is a person who used to talk very less, never used to mingle with anyone.. never heard his voice in campus.. But as a friend we knew him that he was a introvert… He never used to share anything, never used to open his mind at least in front of us.. He was always good at studies, and was very serious about doing assignments, and stuff like that.
He used to like a girl at that time and we came to know about it a little late… At that time I was the Marketing student Assistant and I used to do marks entry for internals. During that time Jothi was pretty sad and depressed about that girl, and was little low… Whenever I used to go to his room only romantic songs used to play on his Comp.. Especially the songs form “Life in a METRO”… In dino Dil mera.. Tujh se he keh raha.. Tuuuuu .. khwab sa chand….
OK even I agree that I do the same when I am emotional.. But coming to the matter, In that internals Jothi had got very less marks instead of studying very hard… We used to study at night time and again me and anjan used to think.. why to study chumma.. we will study for next two internals so we will watch some movie now or sleep.. but this guy used to wake up at 2 AM and study without our notice and sleep of again before we woke up in the morning. So even after studying so hard like this He scored some 7 out of 50 in IBM subject. I got to know this and I entered the class… He was sitting in his usual place, 4th bench in middle row and He was a bit upset.. I asked Anjan, who was always with him… He pointed out that girl who was sitting with other guy and they were talking, smiling as they were good friends… and Jo was feeling very bad as he could not be like that with her at least as a good friend… I went to him.. I told.. “Dude, u have got 7/50 in IBM”… His faced turned totally dark… Because we scored more than him even after sleeping for whole night… He felt very bad thinking of his fate and left the place without our notice… We searched for him and later on we got to know that he went to his room.. the same old room… We went there and found him in a corner of the dark room sleeping on ground with is usual sleeping posture… (As I explained that in my previous blog, sleeping beauty…) That evening we spoke to him and consoled.. we consoled him in such a way… jothi suddenly changed himself in such a way that the person once who dint even used to utter a word started to speak like anything, He and his one liners started to bang so many people that even sometimes I keep my mouth shut in front of him… He started to listen all rock, metal songs keeping away his “dard Bare Nagme” aside… Today what we are seeing in Jothi was the outcome of that small incidence that we first experienced in that room…
Jothi had a big time make over when he was in that room during second semester of MBA… That we still miss today…
I used to spend my maximum time in that house always talking to jothi, anjan and have watched hell lot of movies sitting in that corner room… Also we have took lot many videos… Bathroom scenes of Jo, and also of mine, as the bathroom door was bit open from upside and his Anjan had a Sony Ericson 810i from which he used to take videos… god knows what had he done with those videos…He he…
Lots of friends had a great time out there, to name a few the party we used to have there with Anand, Munna, Kushal, chetan, And even many of other friends…
And one more thing that I can’t forget in my life time… There was a small girl almost about the age of 3 years… She used to always cry. Yes, its usual and normal that kids cry. But when she used to cry there was a sound with very high frequency and I used to get irritated to the maximum extant… and Jo still teases me till day remind about that kid…!
Lot many memories associated with that place… I Should thank jothi for being a tenant in that home for one year…
Cheers to u… Long live these memories..!!!
