A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.
-Pam Brown
The most ecstatic, most unexpected, most exciting- overall an outre and by far the most memorable trip of mine was the Hyderabad trip.
Dated :- 24-02-2012 to 27-02-2012.
As expected the period of anxiety had already begun for me when i lay down in my crumpled bed exactly a few hours before the scheduled departure of my train.
Losing the battle between my left brain and right brain to my left brain i decided not to sleep the entire night. The justification for this decision had probably one more factor that i had the insecurity whether am going to get up on time tomorrow morning or not.
Everything became still and everything became calm, even the clock stopped ticking. So, i took a series of short naps and finally managed to board the train on time.
When the journey started i had no idea that it is going to be the most memorable trip of my life. I finally reached Hyderabad after struggling with the phone, my novel and the Secunderabad to Hyderabad local. The moment i saw Vishesh with his same rusty Pulsar and big smile on his face, i just had no words to express anything, Just hugged him tight in the first place.
The first day we could only manage to hook up to a few drinks in TGIF. But, we both knew that tomorrow it was going to be a very hectic schedule coz it would be totally dominated by Mr. Ankit Mehrotra,Ramit Mathur, Vishesh Khandelwal and last but not the least Kshitij Saini. As i always said "Bhai aj marne tak piyenge".
The day really kick-started when we went to TGIF(Thank God Its Friday). We were actually on a liquid diet that day.....2 beers down....we went home (successfully)....Then there was more alcohol and more alcohol and more alcohol and finally nobody stood up on their legs.
The status changed from 'tipsy' to 'high' to 'sloshed' to finally 'drowned' and the dialogues went interesting from "lets booze" to "lets go out and get more" to "today i 'm gonna drink till i drop" to "let's get more of it, it's not getting over my mind tonight" to "u 're my brother dude, in fact everyone is"and finally to "i ;'m sleeping, coz u all want me to die".
So, this was the fiesta we had in Hyderabad. Looking more of it when i reach Bangalore.
