Lonavala (Trip 3 - Feels like Home)

Shocked at hearing what i heard, I asked him which tyre was it and he said that it was the same tyre. And we in the car started abusing... Didnt know whom we were abusing... the car, Sunny, its tyre, or ourselves, but v still continued to abuse. There are no U-Turns on the new expressway and taking a reverse was not an option at all that we had. So they told us to carry on towards the bungalow and rest while they sort out the issue there near the petrol pump. We were earlier joking around that if anything else is to happen with this Optra, we wont stop for them and just carry on with our plans, acting as if we dont know them. So the friend on the phone was telling us that we did just that, in an obviously jovial manner and said that they were unfortunate to be stuck with this mess and we got lucky to get away. So we didnt wait for them at all and reached the bungalow in the next fifteen minutes, the time being about 6 in the morning.

The bungalow was beautiful. As soon as v got out of the car, we had this cool breeze making us feel really good. It made us feel that all the trouble we went through that night didnt go in vain. Anyway, this wasnt the first time we were coming to Sunny's bungalow. For his friends, the bungalow is like their second home. There was this main bungalow with 2 rooms a hall and a kitchen and a subordinate bungalow which was one storied with a beautiful terrace on the top. The ground floor had one room and first floor had 2 rooms interconnected from within. Both rooms had a bed where 2 people could sleep very comfortably. So we went on the first floor there, changed as soon as we could, locked the room from inside because the room was full now and also, if v had kept the rooms open, the latecomers would definately come and disturb us from our sleep. So we slept at about 6:15 and ended our adventurous journey then. During the time i was deep in some happy dream, others had come by 8:15, kicked and boxed the door till one of us woke up and unlocked the door. I didnt know all this had happened. Anyway, now comes the fun part of the trip.

We all got up by 11:30, veryy hungry, and still a bit cranky and sleepy. I thought to myself that only me and the three drivers had that right to be cranky because we were the ones awake all night while the others snored in their sleep in the car.

So we thought of having a brunch at some restaurant there. We left and almost ate the entire restaurant that afternoon. After eating, we came back to our 'adda' and just sat there, listening to music, talking, and the rest having hukka. Our "DJ" Sunny was playing some good old songs, which weren't all that old, but around the mid 90's. He also played some popular numbers of recent bollywood. Then came the song 'Talli' and one of them shouted - Khamba nikaaaaalllll!!! And then the madness started. There were two bottles of Vodka, 13 people and 7 to 8 regular drinkers. The others were forced to take big sips of vodka from the bottle except for Rasal who abstained from drinking. He took over the camera, taking out the video of the madness that was happening.

Even before the drinks were taken, we all felt high. One person had the bottle with him and he was pouring it in everyones mouths. All kind of songs were played in the middle. From songs like Tu cheez badi hai mast mast to the new ones like College days were played and we were dancing and singing out loud. Everyone was in their own sweet world. Some singing and dancing, some playing with the broken guitar, some playing with a toy tiger, some getting tooo friendly with each other and hugging and doing different things to each other. Some people then shifted to the garden area and started doing more masti there. They were doing sommersaults, others were falling on each other and the rest continued to dance to the music inside.
