Friends part 3.2

Sid and me were the first two of the six of us. The others are Mayuresh, Mandar, Tejas and Bhushan. We all had pulsar dtsi 150s and used to boast attitudes while on road for no reason. Our enthusiasm has no bondage. From emotions till brotherhood(bhaigiri) we always find a chance to enjoy ourselves.

Once I remember, we all were at Sid's place and Sid's brother came in running as some drunkards were behind him for some reason. We all went down on our banyans and pyjamas for a chance to satisfy our scratchy hands. But all was in vain. They had fled away till we reached down. I think they must have seen us coming. We all look quite healthy due to our bulkiness. We all weighed above 70 kilos and averaged of 5'9" of height. I suppose they saw us coming together.

We had weird names for each other. I am still searching a dictionary having their meanings. I am called 'Betrya', Sid is called 'Bolan Bol', Mayuresh is called 'Rapa Rap', Tejas is called 'Basla', Mandar is called 'Bevdya', and Bhushan is called 'Nari'.

Except Sid and me, we all weren't quite good friends in school. But as if it was destined, we came together after departing to our own ways. We came closer and closer until we became a compound of the chemicals used in 'Fevicol'. I remember, me and Mandya weren't best friends in school at all. Mandar had hit my head in school and I was crying as it had started paining. But thanks to him, I got a half day off from school.

Mayuresh is an enthusiast in physical activities. He is always eager in eating, trekking, exercise, biking, etc. I simply admire his commitment towards us. I recall when he had once just returned from Nashik, after his ass busting journey on his bike. Instead of going home, he directly came to the 31st Dec. night party. He was always influenced by army and wanted to be in the Indian army, but he couldn't make it there.

The best thing I recall about Mayuresh, when we're together, is his non-reactive face in our night-out parties. All of us would split his ass on a single topic every time, and that was one of his girl friend's emotional torture. He always used to entertain her in spite that we all and Mayuresh knew he would get a more better looking girl than her. He was and always is speechless on this topic. Tejas is the man who always initiates the topic.

Tejas is more a moody person than an enthusiast. He's a great ignorant of his other friends except the 5 of us. His patent statement, "I'll call you in a couple of minutes" is by heart to us. We knew the meaning and hence we never expected his call after this statement. He is an easygoing person but can sometimes stuck on one wrong thing of yours, resulting in your mental torture and the profit of the telecom service. He'd call you after short intervals until his anger is cooled down. The worst thing of Tejas, to be scared of, is his cricket shots. His eyes have no relation to the ball and his bat is destined to hit or die situation.

Mandar was always a shy, quiet person in our group. We all used to discuss in his absence about the reasons of his calmness and how we can make him express himself. He's a brilliant in mathematics and logical things but only till the academic part. He's the most bullied guy in our group, and he tolerates it only for us. He's now started cracking boring jokes, expecting us to laugh out loud.

Bhushan is the shortest guy in our group, in a sarcastic sense. He is always boasting himself up, but not with us. He is the most enthusiastic person in our group for hard drinks. He is quite straightforward and an intelligent freak.

I remember when we had been to Lonavala for 3 days, those were the most cherish-able moments of my life. We had a lot of funcohol, I mean fun and alcohol. It was my first time to get sloshed away with drinks. I was feeling like I am walking in a virtual environment, kinda video game, when we went outside for a walk in the midnight around 3 am.

We all are freaks and we don't have anything planned in our parties or hangouts. The best moments in our lives were when we used to do all the financial calculations for hours and none of them were successful. Some of us would then had to pull out excess money to save washing the dishes. I remember the day when we returned from Lonavala, we had around 5-10 Rs each kept safely for the bus tickets. But now all are working and wouldn't mind spending thousands of rupees in funcohol.

In all of us, only Tejas is committed and I am the experienced, kinda having a degree in girlfriend management as being in a relationship for 3.5 years. Sid also has a short experience of having a girlfriend, but his was like a two month certificate program. We all adore and respect Tejas's relationship. Mayuresh is in desperate search, and Mandar is out of the love, relationship scenario.

These characters are a metaphorical representation of my life. I am desperately waiting for the next funcohol.
