NSIT : The Night that followed......

fter the show finished at 10:30, we realized the last metro had left nd we hd no way to go back 2 noida...So try nd imagine our situation, 11pm, no transport, no place to crash nd stuck in Dwarka for the rest of the nite wid nothn to do!!

As it often happens with us, everybody knew what NOT to do, but nobody knew exactly what to do....So we decided to call up our friend "Ghattu Bhaiya"(who lives in vasant kunj), who ultimately ended up providing us with all our entertainment for the night....The conversation went something like this:-

Ghattu(picking up the phone after 3 calls) - "Hello.."
We - "Ghattu where r u??"
Ghattu - "Im busy, out with my dad"
We - "Hum tere ghar aa rahe hain"
Ghattu - "ok...How many??"
We - "7...we'll reach ur house in 15 mins, masti marenge raat bhar"
(At this point, Ghattu had almost lost his voice in shock and was now desperatly thinking of excuses)
Ghattu - "Umm...."
We - "Chal thanks, aa rahe hain"
Ghattu - "Wait, the house is locked.."
We - "No prob, we'll wait outside....by the way, you do have dinner ready rite??"
Ghattu - "Umm...."
We - "Gr8, thanks, almost reached your house,Bye"
Ghattu - "Wait!!..."

Of course,having acheived our purpose of scaring Ghattu we had hung up, and with some unexpected luck had arranged for a couple of autos....
With our luck picking up, somebody had the bright idea of spending the night in 'CUMSUM', a 24hr cafe cum resturant near Nizammudin.So with a little cash between the 7 of us, we set out to spend the next 6hrs of the night sitting in a resturant with only a pastry each...

Now words cannot describe how we managed to sit in one place for the whole night, too tired to roam about but too uncomfortable to sleep!!
Though the crowd was pretty rocking at first, but by 4:30-5, it also started to thin down...

Eventually the night was lost in a daze of stale cigarette smoke and a LOT of pj's involving ghattu.... Entire songs were made up dedicated to ghattu, which remain popular still [;)] ...

Everybody had tales to share and experiences to recount....by and by the time passed and as the first rays of the morning sun hit our dreary faces, we realized the night was over... looking around the table, i realized it was definetly one of the longest night of our lives, but it was also one of the most interesting ones [:)].....

NSIT walla KATANT

A gr8 philosopher once said "Anything that can go wrong, will"..........This statement can be applied to most of our experiences in college......i remember the first time we realized the full significance of these words.....it wz sumwher in jan'08 wen we decided to go to NSIT (an engg cllg in del) for its annual cultural fest...henceforth, to be known as the "NSIT KATANT"

I remembr it wz the frst time i had gone out with the rest of the group..so it wz me(Sahai), eedy,chuchu, madho, pranay, todu nd bacchu...bacchu, as usual, had arranged for our KATANT by making the haphazard plan...The first KATANT wz of course in d college itself wen we got late....After finally leavin college an hour late, we arrived in dwarka(wher d cllg is locatd) at around 9:00 by metro....we hadnt had dinner, but as usual in those days, our expectations were huge...delicious, multi-cuisine food, an awsome crowd (according to bacchu) as well asa rocking performance by "Indian Ocean"...Now imagine our KATANT wen we walked in to find, literally, an empty football field with 3-4 chatwallas serving "food" and about 20 ppl (exactly 3 girls!!) standing around chatting!!

Unlike now when we have come to accept our fate, then we still had hopes of salvaging the night by enjoying the music performance....but as our readers should come to expect, we were in for another big KATANT!!By the time we finished our "dinner" and came near the stage, the band wz packing up!!!

After the show finished at 10:30, we realized the last metro had left nd we hd no way to go back 2 noida...So try nd imagine our situation, 11pm, no transport, no place to crash nd stuck in Dwarka for the rest of the nite wid nothn to do!!
To be finished later...........
