The Hangover

DISCLAIMER : I was not drunk and so not the name Hangover!!!

It was in 2009, after our 5th semester and after all the hard work and studies and Unix, all we wanted was a nice holiday.We hostel girls decided all of a sudden that we would go to chennai for a week.Four of us are from Chennai so we decided for a sleep over in everyone's house and as it was November the climate was not all that bad to shop.
All our parents were also excited and didn't lay even one restriction on coming home early or eating out or staying somewhere else thats not home.Nothing just nothing.
It was a night at divi's place. Her dad said lets watch a movie tonight, excited about the thought we started discussing on what movie to watch , and aunty got the snacks ready.Uncle said lets watch transporters, it didnt sound really exciting. Then I said "Why not hangover, the guys said its a very funny movie and its nice, its a new one too!! Why don't we watch that?",Everyone was pleased, so uncle went and got the DVD from the store.
I should have shut my mouth, I told "See you are all gonna praise me for bringing in such a good movie!!"
The movie started and it was not until the second scene came did we realise it was not for family watching. Especially the fat guy's costume designer never got him a pant that fitted him, it was serving the purpose of a sock more than a pant. Okay, most films have those scenes I told my self convincingly. After few mins, when they go to Vegas was the time I literally had to dig my face into my hands, and with uncle sitting right next to me, what an embarassment I say.I could not take another scene..I slowly said "Uncle ennaku thookam varudhu, I'll go sleep,, good night" and I ran off inside the room.
Next day sadly the first one to get up was me..I was having coffee with uncle, I didnt utter a word, he said "Probably its a nice movie, but its not for family viewing that too having us around!!". I said "Next time I will not make any more suggesions!!"
And when I saw the sequel of it releasing I couldn't help but laugh..what uncle would have thought of me..cha!!!

Alone are we???

Yesterday night, one of my friends who generally is not anything of  sensitive or an emotional type of a person suddenly asks "where will you be two years later??". I was busily and merrily licking one of those foreign chocolates and replied "I dunno, all I know is my mom wouldn have got me married by then" and went back to licking...She got irritated.."bleddy!!I'm seriously asking..will we guys meet at all, I think I'll be in the USofA and how can I meet you guys".then it struck me..few would go off to the US to study..few the after marriage life..so whom do I hang out with...damn noone..I mean NOONE...and definitely I cant afford tickets to the US just for a get together...And then we sit and think..do we know anyone else..did we make friends at all...The answer comes up as a plain NO.We haven made any friends,  reading it you might think as us as not the socialising type...Whatever you think we are..we have our reasons for feeling all alone and for feeling that we actually went to primary school again for five years which ultimately never let us be who we are...

Disclaimer : I do not say I'm not benefited in these 5 years..its just that we have been deprived of enjoyment compared to other college...please don't quickly compare us with Jeppiars and tell we are better off...clearly we didn't go to Jeppiar inspite of being offered for the same reason.

Dunno where ill be after 2 years!! :(
