DISCLAIMER : This post has been written with/without the consent of the three parties concerned. And I might’ve added a bit of my crazy imagination to it too. So just enjoy it – it is equivalent to fiction.
As many of you might be knowing, I never miss an opportunity to have a go at anyone from X-C. So I’m gonna go ahead with this post as well….
My Freaky Mind and its Wild Imagination!!!
So if you have read my previous posts, you’ll know that the concerned are Mainak, G Suraj and Shalini! I’m a gossip-monger by habit and I’m habitually engaged in idle talk about others. Anyways, after the posts were published (in my blog), Suraj posts a comment claiming Shalini is his “sister” (check it here).
On the other hand, Mainak in his blog says he and Shalini are not a couple, but Shalini and Suraj might be a potential couple. Here Suraj comments saying that his “sister” and Mainak make a good couple and he shouldn’t reject the fact that they are a couple! (check this one here)
Don’t forget to leave comments guys and gals……

Though 14 warhorses of the erstwhile X-C might have been more than overjoyed on June 21, 2009, there were few who were really sad as they were unable to make it there. This post is dedicated to one such person!
20th Night 8PM – My Mobile Sounds a Mishap!!!
So I was in Bangalore on 20th to meet a few friends (Mainak, Vijay and all). Saurabh aka Patiala would’ve joined us but he was in KR Puram that day and couldn’t come. However he promised to come the next day to meet (especially Mainak, coz the rest of us were nearby).
So I catch the train from Bangalore Cantt. Railway Station to Hosur. Since I had been on the phone almost the whole day, the battery had drained out – and I had to cut short my phone call with Shreyasi. The train stops at Heelalige station for a crossing. Right at that moment, I get an sms from Saurabh saying he has slipped from the stairs and injured himself, rendering him unable to come the next day. I was just wondering if this was a joke or not (but mind, he wasn’t one to crack such jokes). Anyways, I get a call from a minute later which confirmed the sms. So the guy who was one of those looking forward to June 21 was forced to spend the day all alone on a bed, instead of with us!
“Don’t Make Me Jealous!!!”
So he smsed me on 21st morning asking me to give a report of the day’s happenings. I said,”Of couse!” So once everything had finished, I give him a call while I was at the bus stop and again when I was at the railway station. He was just drenched in sorrow for not being unable to come. And I wasn’t helping him. Though unintentional, words such as “the day was awesome” and “you should’ve been there” kept flowing out of my voice box. And he was green with envy. (Sorry Patiala, I didn’t want to make you feel bad…) So I try coaxing him, telling him we can have another one when everyone is free. And since the 21st of June, I just get a feeling another reunion is just round the corner….
Cheer up dude! There’s always the next time! And happy recovery!!!

We see freaks everywhere – even I’m a freak in my own right! And most of my friends are peculiar in their own ways. And Vindhya happens to be someone who always shies away from sunny and crowded places. Guess she suffers from Heliophobia (fear of the sun) and Demophobia (fear of crowd)!
Worrying About Her Complexion???
Many girls are so worried that their skin will tan and all. So they tend to keep away from the sun. But that doesn’t keep them from roaming around in the sun. Even Vindhya would roam around but she’ll always keep her eye open for shady places - always complaining,”It’s so sunny here!” I’ve seen her standing behind pavements trying to keep away from sunlight, while others will be basking in the glory of sunlight!
“Why Don’t You Go to Antarctica???”
I’ve met her twice in the past 30 days or so and she’s always the same – nothing can take away her love for emptiness and shadows. So the best thing to do, as I told her, would be to go an isolated barren land where the sun never shines. Antarctica might be a good option!
Incidentally, the last time we met, I didn’t hear her complaining for quite some time – maybe she has changed in the past month! But then she starts moaning, and Girija quips in, “Arun, she’s again moaning and complaining!” Guess some never change – and I’m glad she didn’t.
After all, if she did, this post wouldn’t be here!!!

There is only one damsel common among the two photos, so you know whom I’m talking about. She’s all smiles in the crepuscular emptiness of Garuda’s food court!!!

Now quite a few might be cursing me for writing part-fiction on them – so guess I should write one on me too. But this one might lack a bit of imagination….
Philo and Her Mobile!!!
So as Shreyasi says, Philo only attends my phone calls, supposedly. (I’ve no idea if it’s true – you have to ask Philo!) But I’ve a tough time getting her to pick up her phone – sometimes network problem, sometimes her problem. Maybe none of the others try frequently enough. Anyways, Philo has been my classmate for five long years (like Swarna). So I’ve never lost touch with her, unlike some of the rest. And well, we are really good friends – and as Philo says,”Tu meer bhai kaisa hai Arun!” I never mind – friend or sister, more or less the same.
“Did She Really Come Coz I Asked Her???”
And she supposedly came on Sunday only because I asked her. As they say, everyone can be convinced, you just need the right person (Shreyasi came only because Mainak asked her – she wouldn’t agree even after I asked her more than 10 times). Well, it doesn’t matter why you come as long as you come. And as there is no lack of “leg-pullers” from our class, it’s back to business. Shreyasi and I are always at loggerheads and of course, she won’t miss an opportunity to have a go at me – though I think it didn’t have much impact.
Well, Philo wanted to have a pic taken with me and all the girls went,”Ooooooh!!!” Cheers Philo…. Friend/sis [;)]

Future is a mystery – so keep guessing…..

As many of you might know, I’m the eternal jobless freak of X-C. And I have one of the craziest imaginations around. And I love pulling my friends’ legs. This combined with my flair for writing, I’m itching to write this post. So I’m gonna ahead with this (Sorry G).
Garuda – An Ideal Place for This???
So, Shalini happens to be one of the girls who really mingle with guys (Girija might be another notable mention in the same category).
So, after we reach Garuda, Mainak says he wants to have breakfast – the rest of us had had our breakfast and we go there only to keep him company. So it was during our small escapade at Garuda that Shalini commented on G (we are used to calling him G, so here onwards G=G Suraj). “Suraj, you are looking cute.” And as expected, there were howls of “G! G!” from the guys. All in the game – no hard feelings….
Shreyasi Speaks! Girija Moves!! I click!!!
So after we come out and start clicking pics, Girija and Shalini start dragging us guys to have pictures taken with us. I think they started with me, then Mainak. Right then comes Shreyasi with a punch dialogue,“Shalini, Don’t fool around. Directly take a photo with Suraj!” reinstating that “Hum kisise kum nahi”. Well, the camera was in my hand and I take a photo (Girija + G + Shalini). Then Girija nicely, as they say, “patli gali se khisak gayi” and I take the snap. Someone might treasure this pic….who knws….

Phones were invented out of necessity – for serious talk! But I’m used to fooling around on the phone – usually with friends. But sometimes, we get the opportunity to antic around with strangers. And these occasions can turn quite funny….
The Onset!!!
So, as it happened, Shalini made a call from my mobile and it went the wrong way (perhaps, she forgot the number and dialed the wrong number. Anyways, doesn’t matter…)

So we were on our way to Dollar’s Colony bus stop – Shalini, Mainak, Girija and me. At that time, that guy calls back. I pick up the phone and he asks, ”Who are you?” I say,”You are the one calling on my phone. Who are you?” He doesn’t reply but instead asks,”I want to talk to that girl.” I ask,” Which girl?” ”The one who called from this number in the morning.” I reply,”There are only guys here.” At that precise moment, Girija starts giggling…and he got to know that there were girls with me!
Partners in Crime – Girija and Me!!!
So I pass on my mobile to Girija and she starts talking to the guy. He asks,”Did you call from this number?” She replies in the negative. “Was that your guy?” “Yeah, he’s my guy!” Then he keeps asking stuff, “Do you know who had called?” and all. Then Girija decides to take him for a ride,“I can’t hear you. The voice is getting disconnected.” Man, was it fun – pulling the leg of a guy we’ve never even met!
So she disconnects the phone. But he calls again after some time. She picks up the phone and asks,”Who’s on the phone?” He replies in filmy style,”Tumhara baap (your father)!” She isn’t some naïve girl, so she continues,”Oh!? You’re my father!? Hello Daddy ji, how are you? Please talk to your son-in-law.” And she gives me the phone. I start with, “Hello father-in-law….” And he says,”You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?” “Of course…..” I would’ve loved to continue this, but it was time for us to leave. So I tell him not to call again and disconnect the phone. And we had a real laugh over that incident!
But he wasn’t one to give up – he called around 20 times again and again. But I disconnected all the times and he finally gave up!
Guess we can take the title “Phone-Larks”!!!

Well, here’s another post related to X-C and its warhorses. Mainak has always been among the most “seedhe-saadhe” guys of our class. Not me, I’ve always been known as the chatterbox with a certain degree of naivety.
“Innocent naivete!? Who? Me???”
So as the four of us – Shalini, Girija, Mainak and I – were walking on the pavement, two girls come from the other side and Shalini says, “Hey Arun! Take a pic of those two girls.” I ask why. Her reply,”You have guts for that?” Of course, if it’s challenge I never stand back. I take out my camera, turn off the flash and take a pic (I deleted it later – it was just to show her my guts).
I have never been someone one can call simple and naïve. And yet, many get the delusion that I’m so. Though, one by one, the delusions are getting dispelled. But Mainak, he is one of them…..
“Him Talking to Girls!? Maybe Once in a Blue Moon! And Today’s the Blue Moon!!!”
So he happens to be the typical mother’s son – never talking to girls. As a matter of fact, he has the phone number of only one girl, but that girl is not the one in context here.
But when it comes to X-C, there’s no girl and no guy – just friendship. So it wasn’t such a big deal seeing Mainak with girls. But I don’t understand one thing – why is it that both of the “couple” photos with Mainak happen to be with the same girl??? Something fishy – my wacky imagination knows no bounds as many of my friends might know….
Do They Make a Good Couple???
Now the final question – do they make a good couple? Have a look and post your comments. (I know this might be my shortest post – but it’s based on speculation, not fact….so cheers)….
