Guys on Bikes !!

One thing I love the most in my life is taking long rides on bike. And if its at late night, I cant even describe the felicity.

Yesterday my colleagues were planning to go to Daman and Diu for a weekend trip. When everything related to lodging is finalized then somebody popped up a question about travelling. Plans containing hiring one taxi, going by MTDC (Maharastra Transport something Corporation) bus and god knows what else. All the travelling plans were making me bored and was giving a 'not interested' kind of look to everybody. Suddenly somebody came up with the idea of going by bike that raised my eyebrows. I was the first one to support the idea and place a condition of me being present on the trip if at all its travelling by bike, otherwise count me out. Some were reluctant as the distance to be travelled will be quite high. Its almost around 300kms one side. Finally, 6 of them agreed from a team of 25 guys. With six bachelors and three bikes you can well imagine whats gonna happen. Adding to the spice, we all are leaving Pune on Friday 6 pm and it’s a 7 hours journey including all the tea, dinner, sutta breaks in between. Gonna reach there at 1 am most probably and drink all throughout the night. Next day, some beach volleyball and wooing some babes in bikinis !!!

Its going to be a great weekend I suppose. Highly looking forward to it.

Linkin Park vs My Neighbour

Got my hands on some of the Linkin Park videos. As this band is my favourite I already have their entire album with me. But this time I got their live performance in Texas. And when I saw it for the first time my mouth was wide open saying the F word aloud infinite number of times. That CD which was a gift from my brother contains all the hit songs that this band has sung from the day one of their origin in the year 2000. "Crawling" and "Papercut" are the songs that I like the most apart from "In the End" which is on everybody's lips now-a-days.

All my neighbours are already quite irritated of me because I use to hear music at the loudest volume. But they didn’t even bother because all of them were in hindi and they were enjoying too. This time, its all english and adding to their agony its hardcore rock. One of my fellow neighbours who happened to be a typical maratha knocked at my doors at 11:30 pm I suppose. Opened the doors and there stands a real jerk as if I have disturbed him just when he was about to start his love making process.
"Kya re tum sota nahin hai kya. Raat kitna ho gaya, tumko koi ata pata hai bhi ya nahin. Sare mohalle waalo ko jaga ke rakhne ka iraada hai kya tera"
"Arre uncle hamara is duniya mein hai hi kaun bas is TV aur DVD player ke alaawa. Raat ko to sab koi so jaate hain aur kissise phone pe baat bhi nahin kar sakta. Moreover yehi time hota hai when I am totally myself. Office mein proffesional type pretend karte karte thak jaate hain. Aakhir kaar kabhi na kabhi to apne asli soul ko bahar nikalenge"
"To iska matlab ye to nahin ki tum hum logon ko jaga ke rakhega" in a very furious mood.
"Room mera, itna heavy rent bhi timely deta hoon, jo kar raha hoon room pe hi kar raha hoon, darwaze aur khidkiyan sab band kiya hua hoon bas aap logon ka thoda khayaal rakhne ke liye. Uspe bhi aapko tension. Jyaada muh mat khulwayiye hamara kyunki aapki bezzati nahin karna chahte hum"
"Nalayak ho gaya hai tu, tere baap ne tujhe yehi sab sikhaya hai kya?"
"Bahut bura kiya jo mere baap ko bich mein le aaya aapne. Baapu ne humko ye bhi sikhaya tha ki kissi ke room se agar raat ke 12 baje azeeb azeeb si siskiyan nikal rahi ho to wahin pe darwaza khatkhatane ka aur sab thik thak hai ki nahin poochne ka. Par aaj tak humne aapke darwaaze pe kabhi raat ko aake disturb kiya? Nahin kiya kyunki agar baapu ki baat maante to aaj aapke yahan do ladke nahin ho paate. Ehsaan kiya hoon aap pe aur ehsaan ka badla is tarah chukaana aapke yahan sikhaate hain kya?"

Just when we were about to start an infuriated argument, his wife called him from upstairs and he had no other option but to listen to her. Hard Luck!! Aww man I was so desperate to have this kind of converstaion for a long time. I thought to myself I lost the bakra. Anyway, in a day or two I am sure he will again come back.

Paakizah

Just had a chance to move my lazy ass on Sunday evening to a CD shop nearby and to my utter surprise the CD guy had something that i have been looking for ages. Since the time i was in college i was searching for a movie called "Paakezah" but never got it anywhere. Its a very very old movie and i dont even know if you have heard of it or not. Searched the entire Delhi for one and half years but still no success. When i came to Pune, been to all the big shopper stops but still nothing came into hand. Fuck!! what happened to our entertainment business. They own all the crap movies that one would never love to buy and would never watch even for the first time.

And this shop i am talking about is a very small one that one cant even recognize from outside. This is a perfect example of "bagal mein saiyaan aur gali bhar dhindhora". Pardon me if i am wrong in making this citation. In fact i am horrible at it. Anyway the CD uncle, very old and was coughing time to time, was not at all ready to sell it but i managed to get its 2 video cds set at 350 bucks. My roomie said that i am a real duffer when it comes to buying something. I just pay what they ask and never have an argument.

I definitely need to learn how to bargain.
