Nights @ 8 Shree

Well the nights in 8 Shree were always pretty pleasant and more often than not offered certain “incidents”. Well it was during one of these nights when Neel’s inner most possessiveness for yours truly became very evident when we all were sitting in the balcony and Neel yelled out (“CHAL ABHIK… SONE KA TIME HOGAYA”) … I know I am truly lucky… Discussing some new chick… or chicks... our respective love lives… Confessions… incidents… Still more chicks… Stories… Misquotes more often than quotes… That one particular question that Aditya asked which shut us all up in SHOCK (I know it’s too vague but still u guys remember)… Moinak’s balcony adventures…was what we mostly did during the night hours... kept talking until everyone passed out

Well that was usually what happened but as I said before it did offer something out of the ordinary most of the time… Here are a few incidents which are pretty much memorable... may not be very funny but yes memorable for sure !!!

1) Often we stayed up late in the night and so we needed something to drink… And I loved nimbu paani.. But to make Nimbu paani you have to go through the unforgiving, cursed Land of Kitchenasia., ruled by the unyielding, unforgiving and funny accented ruler DADA. But there were a few brave ones who stood up to the ruler unafraid, bold and courageous… HEROES… namely JATINOLAS and ABHIKAGON…

Often they succeeded but they failed more… For they were unaware of the inner eye of DADA which watched everything.. even in the dark… One such incident was when Abhikagon left the safety of the kingdom of Bedroom and it emperor Neelander , his wife Aditya-beth "the beauty" and his concubine Maneka Bagchioria –The Hunter Wali, to look for the blessed nimbu pani…

As he treaded through the darkness crossing one hurdle after another often bumping into them .(namely “sofa” nia and “couch” aria) he reached the dreaded middle earth the land of KITCHEN ASIA…. There were strange sounds in the air (snores of DADA) the air was so filthy that he Abhikagon lost his hair (his body odour mixed with vegetables and carrots and mooli) but the brave one didn’t give up… he walked on and reached the heart of the kingdom… Now to get the sword so as to cut the celestial nimbus he put on foot very carefully and noiselessly on one side of dada and the other remained on the other side… He was very careful and very quiet. But then the power of the inner eye cannot be underestimated for it never rested. In this precarious position DADA’s inner eye woke him up his eyes shot open and there he saw ABHIKAGON standing on top of his chest, with his legs on either side of him… In these situations where many people have lost their lives due to heart attacks the brave Abhikagon merely jumped to one side with merely a squeal “Aaaaaaaaaa” and froze.

Dada let out his vengeance, his wrath and he used his ultimate weapon (his speech with his accent)

He roared: -“YE TUM KYA KARTA HAI… KABHI HUM KO SONE NEHI DETA HAI.. DIN BHAR KADKIYON KE SAATH AUR AB NIMBU PAANI.. YE KOI TIME HAI… GHOOSHI (PUNCH!!) MARDEGA”
ABHIKAGON realized that if he stood there he would perish ... so he ran and picked up 5 glasses… the sugar jar... the celestial nimbu… and the sword… He then ran back while the beast roared and roared… entire earth shook… but the brave one ran … he again bumped into obstacles (OOH!!! AAH!!! OUCH!!!) but he ran… and bought back to his kingdom the means to quench their thirst.

(FYI: - It happened many nights)

2) We had come back from our first trip to Goa. During the trip Me, Bagchi, Adi, JP, Shonai (in her swimming costume… Adi remember… hhahahahaa) happened to go to the water and there were a few chicks in the water… Now just for the kicks we decided let us rule the water by driving away the females… so we did our bit (AHEM!!!) and all the chicks left the water and we had successfully captured the water… So that particular night I was dreaming of that and I dreamti can never forget this one!!) Bagchi running around (more like bouncing around) in his swimming trunks in the beaches of Goa from one chic to another and they were running away (SEE BAGCHI.. EVEN IN MY DREAMS YOU DRIVE CHICS AWAY!!) and in my sleep I yelled out,,,

“CHANRDAMUKHI HO YA PARO… KI PHARAK PAENDA YAROON”

Now I was sleeping on the bed and Gogia was sleeping on the mattress on the floor.. SO he heard it. Now Gogia without glasses is pretty much blind and to top it all it was dark I dunno if I scared him or not but he got up and then somehow he figured his way and reached out to wake me or to see if I am awake or not and that when I opened my eyes and I see Mr. Gogia’s face and he was like "Abhik tujhe pata hai tune kya bola"

I said “Haan “CHANDRAMUKHI HO YA PARO… KI PHARAK PAENDA YAROON”!!!
And we laughed after that for quite some time!!!


3) One night… I woke up at around 2:30 coz I couldn’t get any sleep… I went to the sitting room to read something… a few minutes later Aditya woke up to he too couldn’t sleep… Then we both decided lets go and get some coffee… So we went down to the pimp’s shop to get some coffee in our boxers and crumpled T shirt… But then everything was shut. So what to do... Then Adi comes up with a solution at 3:00 a.m. “Dude Hotel Pride”… I was like “let’s do it man” …

So here were two guys walking on FC road at 3:30 a.m. laughing, cracking PJs jumping on the road and we reached the five star (not sure if pride is a five star) at around 3:40… we went to the coffee shop and took our seats… The waiters eyed our boxers and crumpled T shirt and politely came up and said “Sir you are early for breakfast” … saala kamina… But we ordered for our coffees… meanwhile the TV was playing ITV and so I kept requesting songs and we chatted/ laughed/bitched/gossiped for an hour read the papers also (Adi has to do that in a five star)… We left the place reached home at around 5:30… Adi’s idea was to leave the bill on the table for the rest to see.. Sure enough next day I woke up to Jatin yelling right next my ear…”Bastard how could have done this without me” with the bill in his hand…


There are many more incidents … so this is to be continued… And can you guys remind me by writing it as comments!!!
