Abhishek aya tha kya, tum logo ko bigaar raha hai woh. every second night he comes with a bottle and gets u guys drunk.
This was maushi's idea of Abhi. Pary and Parvy always nodded, as a sense of yes even if Abhi was snuggling the whole night in hostel bed with the be bugs.
Please change your tickets to the 14th she said.I cant travel alone. Please we would both travel together from Calcutta to Pune. Naive as he was our man , with sense of possible romance blossoming, asked his dad to change the tickets for the fifth time.
He had reached howrah stn an hour early to make sure he could catch her on time and help her with luggage.And help her find her seat. the thirty six hour long journey with her was something he was looking for. The opportune moment to come closer and may be speak out. He had thought it was a good time to carry his music essentially simon & gurfunkel cd and his collection of Ruskin bond .She loved them thats the only musical connection they had.
They boarded the train, and within minutes the pair of laurel and hardy emerged from no where to meet her. Abhishek thought this is it, they are not going to steal my show. It was I who changed my tickets for her, but alas they were her friends from college . Batch mates. she knew they were traveling in the same train. She introduced Pary and Parvy to Abhi. Initially disgusted by their presence , Abhi did carry on with the small talk.
Soon as she went to sleep with his music, he started enjoying the conversation with the duet. From small talk, to boy talk, they found more common friends, found ghosts in their heart that they wanted to seek. From intoxication to football to brufen to black coffee. The thirty six hours sped past while she slept.
The day Abhi reached Pune he found Pary and Parvy waiting for him at the hostel door. Thy went ghost hunting that day, and have been chasing their dreams together since then.
Pary and Parvy One was a cute teddy another an seemingly under nourished Martian with a shaved head and a ear stud complete. They complimented each other to the point of being opposites. Pary slept when Parvy woke up. One and atheist another a pious human being. The teddy used to take full responsibility of the Martian brat , leading the life of peter pan. And then came Abhi a moderate amongst the extremes. But did wand his alcoholic concepts on Parvy and made Pary reduce dry.
They stayed together through thik and thin and stood by each other.. and Abhi today does not know where his Ruskin Bond collection is or the person who took it is either but where ever she is , he would really liked to thank her for making him change his traveling date.
Some things happen because they are meant to happen. And today when abhishek looks back to his Pune days, It can not be complete even to the half with out those laurel hardies.

that was a wonderful ode to two of your closest friends :D!
It seems like eons ago that all of this happened and yet, for this
pagan Peterpan it all magically reworks itself as if it were taking
place yesterday!!!!!!!!!!! Prvy & Dada have matured liked the willow
and I seems to have been left behind in the fantasy world!!!!!!!!!!
left behind to fight his own demons & lochness monsters, whereas his
contemporaries Beowulf and Hellboy et.al have disappeared with the
mist...........
Unlike prince Caspian i don't possess the magical horn, where at a
given point of time I'll blow and Neo will also appear along with
Trinity and Morpheus. Peter momentarily is in a place where everything
eventually is stripped down to the principle of black & white. He
takes a bite of the cheesy pepperoni pizza and realises that in his
own den it would be more of a concept that has come down through
ancestral preaching's!!!!!! Peter suddenly blacks out.
Peter has begun to age like all the other rational mortals surrounding
him. Tinkerbelle(French touché) is yet not here (she Skype's with
him), Hellboy & Beowulf appear in a flash.
"Act your age, you are amongst mortals and you have chosen this path
for yourself. You wanted to experience the world- reason for running
away from home. Seven seas away from us, a forbidden continent that
seemed like the motherland of your being!!!!!!!!! Peter feels like Neo
(Mitz) has unfolded all of dis to him over the internet. The saga
continues......... Peter, we love you but you have to come to terms
with reality. He compares em to the earthly lecturers that haunt him
day & night........laughs when he imagines Beowulf & Hellboy using
PPT's also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peter is in a pub where he's sipping cider and looking at his human
comrades'................Beowulf, Hellboy, neo and army god appear
this time and order their respective drinks. We catch up on the normal
gossip and whistle (telepathy) when the hot babe flutters her
eyelashes like the wings of a butterfly and our hearts skip a
beat!!!!!!! Hellboy is about to say sumtin.........!!!!!!!!! but
before that Peter passes out!!!!
This time Gandolf (dad) is in front of him!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gandolf starts
his sermon. "Peter u look skinny as evva!!!!!!!!!!!! Drink orange
juice; eat 2 eggs daily, are you takin the cod-liver tablets that I
sent you?" Peter imagines Gandolf saying all of dis & is hysteric wid
laughter!!!!!!!!! The humans have taught him these great
things......look at your human life from a comical angle!!!!! Gandolf
appears to be very irritated, so suppa woman (mommy) is summoned.
Peter if you do not accept your responsibilities Gandolf will, i
repeat WILL get you married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What has the world come
to!!!!!!!! Mythological beings are resorting to emotional blackmail.
DAMN these human have contaminated the 3 worlds with their Public
Relations and HR. PETER!!!!! look at Hellboy & Beowulf. Suppa Woman is
baking a chocolate cake for Peter. He eats and then she further
explains..Peter, Beowulf and Hellboy are diff characters. The same
BEING has written diff stories for em & they will fulfil those
stories, while u have to complete your story on your own.........Peter
has tears in his eyes.....he realises that Beowulf and Hellboy will
only appear in a flash to disappear with the mist............Such a
falsehood will never enter their heads and they will not be able to
believe in the possibility of such monstrous effrontery and infamous
misrepresentation in others; yes, even when enlightened on the
subject, they will long doubt and waver, and continue to accept at
least one of these causes as true. Gandolf is coaxing Peter's brother
to study otherwise he will not be able to follow the wise footsteps of
Peter himself!!!!!!!! (Parents lie according to situations and decide
to call it parenting!!!!! atrocious I say)
Peter says to himself "Intellectual activity is a danger to the
building of character" If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating
it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be
maintained only for such time as the BEING can shield the people from
the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It
thus becomes vitally important for the BEING to use all of its powers
to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and
thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the BEING. This
is the biggest lie/truth.
Peter's alarm start ringing, it's his favourite song Dildariyaan
playing!!!!!!!!! he looks at the fossil watch strapped to his wrist,
its 15:20, late for drinking tea wid sum1, gets his touch phone out
and apologises only to be called a %&@£$%. He slips into the skin of
his pseudo'nym - PARAG walks out in "save the tiger" orange T-shirt
and 3/4ths. Beowulf and Hellboy are by his side
again................... he's more confident and is fighting his own
angels and demons well in this planet
