We entered the farm only to find all the cars parked and all of them awaiting our arrival. Actually, they just wanted the coal. We met zak first near the tank. On asking him what he was doing, he says I was in the hole. Whatever that meant. As you see the talks were already getting dirty. With only more in store. Thanks to this new culture started by Ishaan.
Then we shook hands, a few intro's later we all were familiar. Then we all headed down to the river, hoping the electrical fences were not on. Steer took us to this spot in his safari, and I swear to god we had a ball going up that route. And then the walk down to the river. With food, drinks and most importantly the booze. Barman sat on a huge boulder and started pouring drinks out to everyone. That ranged from vodka to rum to whisky to scotch. Then some pepsi , 7up, soda to go with them. And some non-alcoholic wine that zak kept saying it was for himself to prove elf's theory of crotch warming. And somebody was talking about pink. Time to get drunk and pretend you dont hear the rest of that conversation or make sure you dont. Btw, before going down we had a kind of strip show where people were going click click to capture pictures of their secret love on tbhp. And slowly/quickly (depending on where the cameras pointed) we all dressed up in white T's. I hear KB's baby didn't like white and so he was forced to quit trying to convince him/her.
There were two sections, one filled with alcoholics. Those who had/wanted to have rum or scotch or whiskey or vodka and a certain charismatic smartmouth who wanted the whole vodka bottle for himself. All these surrounded steer like a swarm of bees. And another, who looked at us like some untouchables and sat some 20ft away with their pepsi's and elf's favourite drink. And then we all cheered each other and started gulping. Then chef realizes we dont have coal, or firewood to start a campfire. They have only raw meat and nothing else to eat. Or maybe they must have bought that also and left it back at the restaurant. So tadu, steeroid, quicksilver and a few others along with kb100 left.
While the rest of us sat intently listening to Charan telling us stories about Kari Motor Speedway. And pouring ourselves more drinks.
And then we had our first casuality. Charan began throwing up. We sent him back with a few guys while v1p3r was making fun of charan and his story not realizing what he had in store for himself. Then we started hearing talks about Cedia and 2bar. We turned and saw that blue boy had lured mohit into a conversation on a boulder. Though I have a very faint idea of what v1p3r said to mohit very soon he did a disappearing act and never returned. Poor mohit.
And then the v1p3r saga began. He lost it and gave a mouthful to zak and harrie
. And then sat around for a while. We all decided to leave to the farm. Picked up the booze, eatables and some of us left to search for the missing dicor and steer and gang. Some of us reached the qualis and were waiting for the rest to come. From 30ft we could hear someone shouting "Dont leave me here, I'll drown" in a 1ft deep river
. It had to be him, and to his rescue went three brave men who carried him out of danger and led him to the car risking their lives to save my dear friend from the wild ants, fish, electrical fenses and finally from a overenthusiastic Jyoti K Das. I feel ashamed that I wasn't in that elite panel. That I didn't get to prove my concern for my friend and bravery.
We left, in the qualis clearly instructing the boys to come before it got dark. Half an hour later we still have no news from the boys who were supposed to come in the sumo. I was getting worried by now, and decided to go back to investigate. By then steer and gang returned with wood, roti's, pork fry and lots of water and pepsi. And I was too amused when they said the pork fry was the best they ever had. Or almost. Helped them unload the wood and headed out to help my friend and prove my bravery. Started the qualis only to find two headlamps approaching me. It was the sumo. Everyone was laughing. With almost tears in their eyes. They all pointed to the passengers seat at the front. I saw a ghost, with a white head and the rest I couldn't see. I was about to faint, when someone quickly said pls get blue boy out of the front. Infact, it was a polythene bag that was covered on his face. I sure am blind and fainthearted.
Then we pulled out two chairs for the stalwarts charan and v1p3r. While they sat watching stars (no, not in the sky) we lit the campfire to huge applause and the drinks were out in no time. Drinking, eating pulling each others legs were the mantra for the next two hours. Then we went out to get some food for our veggie's and non-pork eaters. On return we got to taste the BBQ. It was really amazing I tell you. Thanks to zak and the rest who fried it. And then the first serving of BBQ got over. With nothing to do but wait for more fire to burn we started to talk ( funnily after steer made all of us shut up and sit around the fire). Talks ranged from me being a virgin (or so they thought ;-) to KB secrecy to pregnancy to pistons and rings and sleeves. Most of which were related to me except for KB's pregnancy. And then I guess someone farted. Must be KB and it was an end to all discussions.
