EPISODE 2 – The FRIEND’TOM MENACE

Really as I said before, when friends get down to something, a lot like HELL is created that seems like HEAVEN for the sufferer. But he is unknown till the HELL FLAMES burn him up into ashes. Such was the case with Dhiraj.

With Avantika always sharing the limelight she was one of the well-known personalities of the college. In few groups, she was the matter of discussion, may be for her boldness but in few others like us it was for her beauty. A perfect creation by GOD for which very boy craves for. But to be sure, I was more impressed by her boldness although I was more flattered by her looks too. Anyways this is not my story but about Dhiraj. So been in darkness he always went unnoticed by most of the people and Avantika was no excuse to it. She didn’t even recognize that there was one of her colleagues named Dhiraj. In course of time, me and Avantika came quite closer. With my bubbly and HAPPY-GO-LUCKY charm, everyone in my group was bedazzled and yes Avantika she was no excuse to it. But like a golden heart that Dhiraj had, he was also quite popular among his friends but not all.

I still remember the day when I was quite shocked to see the senior most people like Dhiraj, Rahul, Sushant and Pala in our class and yes not to forget our very own grandpa Shandyp. Well that was just the matter of fact and going ahead with time they became my close buddies with whom I share some intimate moments too ;). It was the golden heart and friendly nature of these guys, that even being senior to us they never appeared so and we enjoyed every moment of life together may be it the CHADDI tearing activity of DHIRAJ or quick sip of tea at Mittu’s Cafe (Trust me guys in whole year we have torn almost a DOZEN of underwear of DHIRAJ and the day dawned in his LIFE at last when he had just one underwear to wear. So many times he just use to flip either side of his underwear and wear it for days and many times even would elope without UNDERWEAR… Disgusting rite ???????? )

Now all my B.E colleagues would rightly guess who is Dhiraj and Avantika after reading this. J

So we were discussing a LOVES STORY. Being a JACKASS Dhiraj was always the JOKE SPOT but he never minded it even at extremities where anyone would piss off. It was this feature of Dhiraj that brought him close to my heart. Well no emotions just fun over here. So the love story that aroused out between this too was as a part of this LIVE HUMOUR to be played on Dhiraj. Neither did we knew nor did they (Dhiraj and Avantika) knew that just a simple bet can change lives of all people associated with the trick.

I still remember the day when sitting at Mittu’s Café, Dhiraj told us that he never messes up with girls and he has never ever talked to a girl. What would be more fun than asking Dhiraj to be friends with Avantika that too when everybody knew how Avantika was. Well that is the matter of another story telling, but as of now, something struck to me and Shandyp when we were enjoying TEA and GARAM POHA at Mittu one morning. How about involving Avantika in to play some mischief with Dhiraj and how to involve Dhiraj in messing up with Avantika? Just imagine what a fun filled scenario it would be when two people of opposite nature come face to face for some event. So that was the basic idea behind this trick. Trigger and Watch. So now who was to tie the bell around the cat’s neck? Dhiraj won’t initiate as he was more kind of SHY and reserved person, the only one who can initiate this relation was Avantika because all knew how bold she was and everyone had tasted her boldness when she was sole OPPOSER of DC’s (that’s an ENGINEERING term for Drop Out’s or GAP holders) on being the Class Representative, from the group of freshers.

Now all set…... We had a plan to execute but just needed the right time to start its execution and Dhiraj’s first Birthday with us was a blessing in disguise for us (Here US refers to group of friends who participated in this notorious task) when we actually launched the missile.
