Trip to Pune

Few days back (03/09/2010), I got a happy news that i have to fly to Pune on coming wednesday(08/09/2010) for receiving an award from my client(British Telecom). I was very thrilled and excited as BT has chosen me for such a prestigious award. Immediately, a thought of meeting Pawan (which is also in pune) strike to my mind and i called him at the same time. But after some time, i was in dilemma whether i had done the right thing by informing Pawan of my visit, as one of my very good friend Nikhil is also staying with him but due to my mistakes and egoistic behaviour we stopped talking to each other. No of questions started jogging into my mind:

How will i face Nikhil ?

Is it right to meet him ?

How will he react when we meet ?

One thing that is much needed to say that it took a lot of courage to accept your mistake and making reforms to correct it. While writing this blog, i am very happy that i showed that courage to meet my angry friend.

Day First@Wednesday


Finally, i boarded Kingfisher Airlines@4.40 PM to Pune. The Flight experience was very bad.Due to bad weather flight got some jerks and it started swinging up and down. But by God's grace, love and affection of all my readers, i landed on Pune airport@6:30 PM.

Pawan came to receive me. It was very excited to see him after a long time. He was looking smart and healthy. Hey dude, be like that and now don't put extra weight. One thing i want to mention over here is that from last few months, bonding between me and Pawan grew stronger.Thanks Bhai for your support and time in my bad times. Finally the D-Time came . I entered into their apartment@Magarpatta City and Nikhil just offered me a slight glimpse which is more than i expected in return to my mistakes and wrong behaviour which i had done to him during my onsite period. I was surrounded with a very guilty and uncomfortable feeling. I was so ashamed of me that i was trying to avoid eye-contact with him. It was around 10:30 in the night and still Me and Nikhil did not share any words. After that we started drinking beer. I managed to finish two beers but still it requires lot of improvement to match up my Guruji level@Pawan. By the end of the day, we (Me and Nikhil) just exchange few words. Thanks to Beer for that.


Day Second@Thrusday


Next day, i woke up at 7 in the morning and left for Award Ceremony. Function completed around 2:30 in the afternoon and then i left to the Magarpatta City with a feeling and motivation to do more better in my carreer. I woke up 7 in the evening after a disturbing sleep.There was no one in the apartment and the thing which i feared most in the trip happened.Nikhil came from the office and now we were only two in the house. I wanted to talk to him but words were not coming out of my mouth. I again tried to avoid eye-contact with him .

He Started conversation in a very furious mood and words "Main tujhse baat nahin karna chahta" which is expected for a guy like me. One thing i again want to mention over here is that some times your mistakes lend you into very troublesome and helpless conditions. I was not able to talk to a guy whom i talked most in college and want to talk for the rest of my life. I was not able to share my feelings with the guy who has supported me most in my life.

After some time Pawan also came from the office and he put up an idea to visit SHISHA " A Pubbing place in Pune". But as expected Nikhil refused. After some Chit-Chat between Pawan and Nikhl, he agreed to come with us. Thanks Pawan for taking him with us. Sorry Nikhil, if that event/night had wasted your time. Now what to say about Shisha. It's my advise to all the drink and fun lovers who are in Pune, please-please visit this place . It is a perfect place for booze and partying. A perfect ambience and the performance of the live band addded the more aroma, more beauty to that ambience. The gradual unconsciouness from alcohol with the soothing noise coming from the Rock band, what can one expect more in life. Finally a long-awaited event also occured on that day. First time in my life i took tequilla shots. I was feeling the sense of achievement after that. One thing i need to mention over here is that it is the pre-requisite and post-requisite of taking tequilla, which makes this drink so pouplar. The way of taking salt before drinking and then way of taking lemon after drinking made be feel excited. As i was the fresher in this tequilla adventure, i was not aware of how to take salt and other things. I know you all are thinking then who has told me all these things. Any guess? No you all are wrong. It was not Pawan. It was our little kid, Nikhil. I was amazed and shocked when he was taking tequilla shots. Then i realized that our little kid is now become a grown up. After taking two tequilla shots and two vodka packs, i started feeling unconscious. We left the bar around 11:30 in the night. I think during our way back to home i spoke some senti statements which made Pawan agitated. Aisa tha kya bhai? Finally the day ended when we slept around 1:00 AM.

Day Third@Friday

Next day i woke up around 10:00AM in the morning with a little bit of hangover. Pawan prepared a very good Poha for the breakfast. Bhai you seem to be a good cook now. During afternoon we started watching movie and doing chit-chat to each other.Now i started feeling comfortable in the Nikhil company. Thanks to him for giving me one more opportunity to rectify my mistakes. But i know, still he has not forgiven me completely. In the evening we went for much-awaited movie. Are bhaiya apne Robinhood Pandey ki " DABAANG". One thing i want to mention to all the movie goers, please watch this movie. Salman Rocks!!!!.Finally i slept around 3:00 AM in the morning after watching one more movie which is completely different
from Dabaang i.e " FIRAAQ".

Day Fourth@Saturday


Next day we have to take a cab early morning for Matheran ( A picnic Spot in Pune), so we all wake up at 7:00. We started our journey around 8:30 AM. But the start was not good as we lost the path. After travelling additional one hour we reached to the destination. The spot was very scenic. We covered various locations and finally returned to home around 9:00 PM. Then again me and Pawan started drinking.This is the time for Whisky(Glenfiddich) now.But the smell was so bad that i hardly took one sip. But nothing can stop Mr.Pawan. He ended with the two packs. During this party, we forgot to order food and all the restaurants were closed by that time. But we were relaxed as we had a great chef with us. Mr Pawan again showed his cooking skills by offering us "Chhuki hui Roti". And the tiring and exciting day ended@12:30 AM

Day Fifth@Sunday


Finally the day came of my returing back to Delhi. My friends had chosen one of the best locations for the lunch named as "SUKANTA". Hey buddies, really the food was very good. And finally i boarded the plane to Delhi@6:40 PM. During the flight i done some retro-inspection and want to share few things :

i) Mr Pawan, what a guy you are. Thanks for all your support and time during my trip to Pune. If you were not there, i cannot even think of coming to Pune. Tere saath daru peeke maja aa gaya.

ii) Nikhil, i am admitting publicly that i had done all the mistakes and i know you still angry with me. I know that it will take some time for you also to forget all the things which i had done. Please take your time. It will be very painful for me if you forgive me half-heartedly or just for the sake of forgiveness. I will wait. I want the same old relations with you (where i used to call you@anytime and lot more things)

iii) Thanks Paretha for coming with us at every location. Thanks for your time.

I want to thank God who has created the circumstances for this trip. This trip has strengthened the bond of friendship between me and laddha and i may get my lost friend after this trip.
