A Jolly Holiday

How does an adventure begin? With these very words:
"Ragini, come down in 30 seconds, NOW!!"
Then:
"Ok, here's the plan. We are going to get on the first bus we see and go. We don't know where, but we're just going to go. Ashte chaile bag niye ekhhuni chol!"
Well, my brain began to grind. I had well-laid plans about religiously attending all my classes. But then................this had the smell of a quest!!! It was an offer I couldn't refuse!!! With a "Jah bal!", I left, with the remains of my well-laid plans scattered in my wake!!!

We actually did get on the first bus that we saw. 'Twas a "Ramgarh-BBD Bag" minibus. Luckily, we got a row to ourselves at the back, and from there began hatching further devious plans. First things first. Destination? Hmmmmmmm................ After much thinking, Scoop was settled upon as the destination of choice. Mojo decided to call up all the people she and Bimbo and Suchi collectively know, which amounted to a lot of phone calls, and the entire bus getting to know of our destination. Stage next was our commencing in collective joyful mood to give vent to our vocal chords. We began with "Light my Fire", and went on to "Paathshala", "Purano shei diner kotha", "Aha ki anondo aakashe baatashe", "Jingle Bells" and all the songs of "Sounds of Music". Reminded me quite a bit of the olden days of school picnics!! Besides, free music, isn't it the order of the day??!! We even got complimented by a veteran bus-jatri on our way out!! Not bad eh??

We had a lovely walk down to Scoop from BBD Bag, munching shosha and trying to evade a pagol who was following us!!

It was just one of those days when people obey without question ! Everybody turned up!!! Quite a bawaal we had there!! Too much fun!!

15 people and only one hot chick!! Can you believe that??? And do you know what the most fun thing was?? Spoiling the conjoining of the only hot guy with us with the only hot chick!!! Unbelievable!! We're still kids!! AND WE LOV IT THATA WAY!!!!!!!!

Eden- The holiest of holy places. Not just in the West, but also roundabouts here. Did darshan. Wasn't able to get in inspite of ceaseless whining. Bimbo's trick doesn't work for me. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Eden jabo, Eden jabo, Eden jabo, Eden jabo.......................someday (sigh)!!!

In the end, true to form, we ended up indulging in serious lyaith, where else but on the grounds of the hallowed Maidan. In front of Asutosh College Sporting Club, to be precise. I threw grass at passing aeroplanes, but didn't do much besides. And then, my good ol' uncle Anc intruded on the reverie and dragged me off to be polite and attend an Allah-forsakenly stupid panel discussion. Damn!

But all in all, a good day in the life of the one and only cheesecake. One for the albums and the toasts.

Cheerio.
