Scene 1: Punju surrounded by 3 Gujjus who giver her credit for finding the 3 most unique gujjus of this world! (well.. she agrees without protest coz u have to meet them to figure it!)
Scene 2: These mad hatters are at Mondy's in aamchi Mumbai ordering pot loads of food and pitcherfuls of beer! And then... she spots this lonely firang babe looking remorseful and having a cup of coffee...
Scene 3: Wild persuasion to get Mommy aka Shekhar to talk to her. When all else fails the classics of "truth or dare" come to the fore! She walks upto the babe and says hi! gets her name for him and walks back..
Scene 4: The dude "finally!" (after the 4th pitcher of beer and the sheer persuasive prowess of your truly - as the other 2 gujjus watch the show) walks upto her!!
Scene 5: He has a 15-20 minute long nice animated conversation with her!! She's alone in the city.. last day.. stays in Bandra... wants to roam around but is a lil scared...
Scene 6: He walks back beer mug in hand... and... he hasn't asked her for her email id even.. (~thwacks head and vows to not do so much mehnat ever!)
Well... it's a city that always proves fun and always rejuvenates! A walk down the causeway and some more beer at 'harbour view'. (And the view is amazing!!) she meets a couple new buds Budweiser! ;) Twilight sets it's curtain and it's time to head to the other side of town.. away from the bustle and into the night.. but before the night settles there's stil 2 gujjus and her and a local train!!
Conversation starts with: you were alone at home? the bar was accessible? you dint tell me? and defense is put up to say you said you will be with your girlfriend and ends on how much cleavage was the 'new bud' showing - and when a guy calls it obscene what's a girl to say! ;) By the time the 3 wellas decided to get off the entire train compartment knew that they eat merry, drink merry, are nerdy, goofy and really don;t care.. the expressions they got were "hey don't go.. we have to go all the way upto virar.. who will entertain us!!" ;)
On her way home she sensed a beautiful blue aura with a demure yellow star on one shoulder and a grinny naughty one on the left one! It felt nice to be able to feel the colors again.. even more so to have felt such happy ones!
Time to packup as the stars also begin to hide... 2 hours of sleep at night.. you obviously need to expect snoring on the aircraft from mumbai to namma bengaluru (esp given that it decides to cradle her while hovering for an extra 45 mins in the air!) The gujju back home goes "think like a gujju! kam paison me zyada ghoomne ko mila!" :D :D
A sub packed.. a cab ride... car retrieved.. and a dash to office.. thus begins the new year.. :) And it's feeling good! for now she sits looking at her lava lamp making weird shapes while listening to Mark Knopfler and soaks in the good karma!
And oh ya.. what would you call "majaa ni life" in russian? (for the benefit of the gujju who was too shareef to get an email id!) ;)
