Right from my school days, I am amazed by the kind of difference I have with my fellow gens. Be it my juniors, my cousins or anyone,some or other things always startle me. Recently I came across something which I thought will scribble down somewhere as I have finally decided to transfer the thoughts within my pandora's box on to the keyboard!!!
Scene1: 6/10/09:
It was a bright day for me as i could speak to someone in the morning after a long time.That somehow gave me an inner energy to be charged until dusk.i was on my way to electronic city to meet few of my clients and as usual,i dropped into my favourite tamil brahmin outlet at koramangala 5th block.once i started having,a few guys or rather kids dropped into the restau&sat at the table beside me.they took the attention of each and every person sitting there,not because they had mirror cracking looks,but as any bangalorean knows it,they are not supposed to be there!!And they never dissappointed the crowd.Things started off with a loud "fuck you",but again no one is really bothered to turn their head to that particular word as its really strange if they dont use it once in two sentences.Then began the real conversation once they ordered their dosas n stuffs.I could clearly listen to what they were telling as my table was right next to them.It was all kicked off by one of those kids who himself started off his version portraying someone as bitch.Again it didnt bother me much as its a "respectful" word for our generation.But the second kid joined him by saying something about some "bastard".Bitches and bastards continued to fill up the silent restau and then i decided to sharpen my ears earning to hear something spicy.But alas!!They were all telling about their own parents and not some one else.Now that sounded strange to me.Strange enough to actually wind up my food&leave that place asap.I thought of telling something to them,but it would be a mere waste of advice from me and another "fuck you" session for them.
Scene2 16/10/09:
It was diwali holidays coming up and i was waiting for my bus to come.The fact that i was a heavy boozer and the long break with out even a single shot of alcohol took myself and my roomies to the nearest bar.They left early and I was waiting at the waiting lounge.Right next to me was this young girlsitting and head banging herself completely unaltered by the people around.Again,as bangalorised as she was,noone around was bothered except me as she kept banging on to my arm rest which was causing too much of a hindrance to my power naps.Then it went beyond a point that i decided to plug myselves with my list of bryans&james!The fact that i went completely into the songs, later resulting into some unseen,insane&unbearable texts is a different story which is worth scribbling later.But,coming back to the girl,she was quite interested in peeping into my playlist as and when i turned my screen on.Till then,i didnt know what kind of gadget that "wanna b tomboy" had pushed into her back pockets.Then came the real shock,an 8gb ipod in the back pocket,that too the typical girly pink.I felt a bit out of fashion for a moment when she took it and flashed it infront of me.Our banging sessions continued for almost an hour as the bus was late by almost 3hours!In between i squeezed myself out of the lounge to get some fresh air.It was freezing cold outside and I ended up with my banging partner in less than 5mins.Things went on&on,all of a sudden I heard "The Show" being played somewhere,which I'd never heard in any public place before other than in VH1.There again this girl shocked me with another gadget coming out of her front pocket,an I-PHONE!!For a moment,i doubted if she is Indra Nooyi's daughter on her way to kerala for a vaccation.Me,sitting in a normal waiting lounge with Nooyi's daughter?No,never,probably the whisky has hit hard on me.But i coudnt come out of the shock this girl kept on giving me every now and then.I was forced to run my eyes through her outfits to find out the brands she was wearing,but the mission was a failure.Now,i knew she is gonna give the next surprise soon and she did in the next 30mins.A Honda CRV came and parked infront of the place an a sid(wake up sid)look alike got out of it with a lot of travel gear.He came upto her and hugged her,she still clinging on to her chair,not bothering to get up but made sure she gav a peck on his lips.Again,this was not a shock to anybody around except an old mallu lady who had probably come to bangalore to meet her kids.I was ready to give my seat to sid as i coudnt take anything more at that moment.But like a seasoned traveller,he took the seat behind me.As the bus was getting late,the travel agent provided everyone with some softdrinks.As i was not really bothered about the brand of soft drink i've,i kept sipping whatever he gave me.Suddenly i realised that our tom boy girl had deplugged her self and was starring at me as if she found her lost brother.As soon as i turned to her,she said she doesn like fanta and that she have only coke!!Just then i realised that i was having coke.Before i could offer my bottle to her,the bus came and we all boarded in no time.There she comes again to me in the bus asking for the same bottle.Infact i left the bottle at the lounge and then she gave me a scary look which made me feel like i am a culprit.Anyways both sid&tomboy took the seat just infront of me.It was a semi sleeper and everyone could see whats going on in the front seats.Everyone squeezed themselves into the blanket as it was way past 1am in the morning.But our kids took the next shock out,a MAC BOOK!Then i doubted again about their roots,this time shifting myself from pepsi to apple.I couldt take it anymore and was trying to get some sleep.It was then our tomboy shook me up&gave me the final shock with her questions,"Are u a frequent traveller to cochin,How far is fort cochin from mg road,thats the last stop?we are actually on our way to spend our vaccation at cochin and alleppey,hows the climate there now?"I was forced to ask her what she was upto and then came the reply,"pre university,st.josephs'college"..aaah,that gave me a sound 8hour sleep!!!
