Post placements, all that remained was
our final semester. We had planned to have a lot of fun, and fun we did have.
Fun mainly meant eating outside. There was my Pulsar, “Bijli”, Pramod’s Honda Activa
in the department, and we needed just one more bike to make trips to wherever
we wished to. The entirety of the final semester remained a haze. Time passed
at the rate of water flow. It was quick.
The winter had just ended, with a
fantastic A.R.Rahman concert which Paras, Punch, Pramod and I had attended.
That was in some sense the tipping point, because whatever followed that was
pure, unadulterated fun. We discovered new places in the city, and made it a
point to try them out. The places were diverse, but the emotion was same, last
semester fun. Paras was a huge fan of the film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and if
there was some influence of the film on him, it was on the fact that you don’t
really get time back, so you have fun to the maximum. We tried out a whole lot
of places, GRT, Ashvita, Sandy’s Choco Bar, Tangerine, Darios, Mansukh, Papa Johns,
Little Italy, Eatalica, Ibaco, Freez Zone, Kailash Parbat, Bbq Nation, US Pizza,
Sangeethas, Krishna Sweets, Ratna Cafe, a whole host of places. This was the
period of treats. There were toasts raised everywhere, and the feeling of
passing out was slowly sinking in.
We made a short film, about how we
envisioned our futures to be. It was an idea very close to our hearts, and I
got Nigga to do the lead role on that. Nigga, in his inimitable style of
putting cock, stole the show, totally. I also roped Chandni in for a small
role, and got Hameed to edit the film, a beautiful job he did. We won the
second best film for the annual short film making competition in the institute,
something that added to the head, and also to the coffers, aided in a couple of
more trips eating outside. The year was getting better and better, and as this
was all happening, the excitement was not going to get any lesser.
