This post is dedicated to Aakash, my friend, occasional mentor and all time bitch. Last week Aakash took initiative to put the following comment on this <redundant_adjective_here> blog:
“well of the 25 times u sent me the link to yor blog, i cared the least to give it a carless look.
this time since u pretended of this blog havin info abt bikes, i did give it a look and i was surprised !
Good things:-

2.its a time paas

2.u havent been completely honest(like u fallin in love only once in 9th std and never after tat… !)
3.ndtv is still better than cnn
4.doesnt contain info on bikes
5.thr is no mentionin abt me and the nights we spent together pretendin to study”
Ok, so I fooled him to bring him to my blog, but lets accept that he was smart enough for he actually cared to read six of my best postings. Now coming to the point, I guess both the readers of my blog would be well aware of the first five and the next four points that aakash took pains to write. I will now elaborate about the last point, thereby mentioning him and the nights we spent together pretending to study.
Now before you start thinking cheap, let me confess that we did spend many nights together. We did pretend to study all those nights, and kept the door closed with a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on it. Also, the involvement of sex cannot be completely undermined in such circumstances. Yes we did all that.
Because we were addicted to porn. Yes, thats what we did. We saw porn all day and all night. Except when we saw Bollywood Hollywood. That was awesome. Just like this blog.
So, coming back to this Aakash fellow, my earliest memory of knowing him dates back some seven years. It was a pleasant evening. The girls were cycling and the boys were looking at them. And from the little balconies above, the parents watched their daughters learning to flirt with the guys watching them in pure lust. The other parents were wondering why the previously mentioned parents were observing their heartthrobs with such a keen eye. Then Aakash dropped in with a football; wearing green knickers and white socks. I saw this bright buoyance in his eyes and it was at that moment I knew that he and me would become the greatest friends of Ankur Complex – Phase IV. He then went straight and to a girl (lets call her P). What followed was a brief conversation which was the pillar to our remarkable association.
Aakash: Hey, you wanna play ball?
P: No.
Aakash: OK. Can I ride your… (bicycle)
P (interrupts before our guy could finish): No.
Aakash: OK.
After this delightful chat, he then spotted the most eligible campionite studying in class eleventh living in shivaji nagar and weighing close to 170 pounds. What followed now was pretty boring.
Aakash: Hey!
Yours Truly: Yeah.
Aakash: I so wanna have sex with that chic.
YT: He’s a guy.
Aakash: And her too.
YT: Same guy.
Aakash: Oh! Okay. I hate her! (points to P)
YT: We’re gonna be best friends! WHO IS WITH ME!!
Aakash then gave me a hi-five and a peck on the cheek.
Over the next two years, Aakash fucked screwed himself in academics time and again and I helped him out again and again (rhetoric). I, in turn, stole his computer science question bank and never returned it back. I also bailed on him when he was shifting to Jaipur. He, in another turn ahead of the first turn which I took, scored 1 mark more than me in Boards. So, I guess that’s pretty fair. Good Job, Karma!
Also, in the same two years, we bargained with the Nanu Video guy over a XX rated movie (which he was arguing was a blue film), Went for a city tour on a luna, ate lots of chicken patty at turrants and saw Bollywood Hollywood. That was awesome. Just like this blog.
Aakash now works with Wipro. He probably knows solaris more closely than even the folks at sun. And he is one of the best friends I’ve got.
I hate you bitch.
