This was the third day . Vijay was sitting next to joshy.There was this new fellow who looked yo yo by his looks. His name is Benny and he had a chain in his hand which was meant to hold his key so that it does not get lost. He was much older than vijay. He had been working in a software firm in trivandrum. The thing is that he worked in a rare platform which uses small talk as the language. To avoid signing a contract in this company he resigned from the company and wanted to pursue a career in bank. His parents were forcing to take up a govt job. In these days of recession this kind of things are understandable as parents are more concerned about the future of their kids.
He spoke of his worries not being satisfied about the job he had and he says that the job was too demanding. Its difficult to survive in IT industry after an age.'Then you should either take up management or be in the project lead otherwise life sucks!!!.'Thats what he had to say. Most of the people in the group had a feeling that it indeed is true. why is a man earning so much if he is not able to spend it or live happily...
The class almost began and vijay's glance landed up on a fellow who was sitting on the row on his left side. The face looked so familiar. Vijay asked that fellow 'Dude I have seen you some where but i am not able to recollect it where.'
The fellow replied 'even i too remember your face but damn it i am not getting where we have seen each other.... Any ways nice to meet you I am shibin. we might have seen somewhere in a theater. are you a movie buff?'
'yeah sort of... mostly i watch english flicks i even bunk classes to go for movies'
The class began.It was maths class.
'dude i don't know anything other than adding and subtracting ' shibin lamented. 'The effort i had to take to pass b com only God knows'
'don't worry dude its only 10th standard maths and its all about how fast we calculate. and there are no differentiation and integration. attend some practice tests and you will get that speed ... believe me'
It was afternoon time i.e the test time. practice test was over and its time for every one to go. These three fellows vijay,benny and shibin were talking and were stuck in a topic. yes you guessed it right "Liquor".
Benny-'Dude I still use the old time and tested brands like ocr opr rums'
shibin- 'don't drink that i heard that it contains turpentine and tar'
ben- 'doesn't matter. we should not forget our roots. i am not going to forget it.'
Vijay-'brand doesn,t matter to me all i want is to drink what ever i get'
ben- 'have u seen romanov its in a orange bottle its a beauty'
vij - 'i have never heard of that stuff , must be expensive'
ben- 'yeah it is available only in select bars. now i don't even go to bar. i drink it in public places. just be beware of the police. checking is too much'
shibin- 'such a pity....i had stopped it to an extent but this talk is too much for me.come on guys lets go to the bar'
vij-' no dude there is time for everything we will have it another day'
suddenly raju and joshy sprang up .
' you kudiyans(alcoholics) is the brandy, whisky talk over . can the normal people join you?' joshi said.
' I don't drink but i certainly want to see you guys drinking. it will be a terrific experience' said raju
Again its 4 o clock time for all to leave.
