Kolkata FnG Meet

Hi 5 !







Story as narrated by sArVesh

The story goes - 1
ok the idea of the meet with totally unknown people (atleast for me ) seemed a little weird in the beginning but then i wanted to justify somethg written in my 'abt me' and so , to much dismay of
tarun, i jumped at the opportunity like a vulture on a rat .I and tarun were to meet at the latter's PG @ 1200 hrs , though as far as i remeber my final alarm rang at around 1130 am . After 1 hour of
strolling at my flat - tarun finally rang me to tell that the F&G meet - kolkata chapter has officially begun with the arrival of a KGPian (and a junior of mine ) - vikalp . Then some how I managed to brave the rain and white-liner buses to reach karunamoyee at around 1 pm - the idea of meeting was loosing its appeal very fastly .
Tarun was very eager about taking a taxi but somehow i calmed his nerves and managed to get a shuttle instead , a neat saving of rs. 85 per head i am still savoring .Actually after my four year stint at kgp , i cudnt bring myself to the fact that we were hurrying off jus to meet a junior (that too a guy )

So we reached forum finally after throwing more bucks on taxis and stuff ..Vikalp was waiting frm 1230 as this guy suffers frm busophobia and took taxi instead frm the howrah station . Vikalp and me quickly hit it off and we happily ignored tarun for a while but then something happened .Pritka entered the scene .She was quick to give me a 'unwanted' look as if i have just shared the seat with her on a bus ride . After a quick introduction , we managed to grab a seat and the four of us sat in a really awkward geometry to talk .

Pritika - why did u come to the meet ?
Moi (whispering) - aisehi....(i love to meet strangers - i thought) ...........

The story goes - 2
After that they were off to a ritual that was repeated many a times during the meet - talking to some guy all of them knew so well that i had no idea (hope u get the pun ).
After some time - Tanu also arrievd at the scene and suddenly she started to talk in angrezi with the other lady present as if they were talkin in codewords . Vikalp threw many looks of desperation but cudnt get noticed by her .

We wanted to extort a tr8 frm tarun frm 'Oh Calcutta' which according to the famed Calcutta times (though it covers parties frm Mumbai only) - is one of the 4 best reataurents in the country and stands in the same league as 'Bukhara' in Maurya Sheraton ,delhi . But somehow each of us felt that we many have to contribute in the end frm our side and so the idea felt less enticing enuf to change the venue to Pizaa Hut - which as i was corrected by pritika is @ 22 , camac Street .After waiting and stuff , we got a seat for 5 which we were not to leave for the next 2 hours - so much for the fast - food

I begun to open more as the topic of discussion changed to the menu part which i completely took over ,pritika wanted to have a lemonade desparately but one strict order by tanu was all it took to make her
forget it . And so we were , divided in groups of 3 and 2 according to the non-veg/veg . All we ordered for the 2 poor veggies was 1 pizza (medium) which was later increased to 2 by a stroke of genorosity .
Guys were accused of eating more but the viceversa was proved when the lunch ended .ALso tarun was accused of acting like a macho-man when he tried to pay the bill by his card ( i guess the total cash we were carrying wasnot enuf for the bill ).

Quote of the lunch (by none other than vikalp) - 'ise kaise khate hain ?'


And ya while we were on the taxi , there were some fights regarding the offline beahviour of some of the members present in the meet .



The story goes - 3 -1

Ok now enuf of pizza hut dose - we came out of it ringing bells , our faces (except that of tarun !)brimming due to gratifying tr8 that we jus had. Now we had three options - Pantaloons ( Yes , that was also on the list coz we had girls u know ) , barrista and CCD .Pantaloons option was promptly killed by my reasoning that their floors abetted sexual discrimination though other members thought otehrwise . We actually needed time for thinking that out so we entered the first store we saw - that of Nick N Nish - of the ladies with the goggles fame - I along with vikalp went to the first floor str8 away to see for some painitings while tarun stayed back for helping the girls.



d tWo lAdieS r so eXcited abt hAving a sNap they foRgot tWo hIde D price tags :P...

Bhavesh - Ok now this guy is one year senior frm our enemy hostel @ KGP and working in the same competency in IBM and yet completely unknown to me . For the better part of the day he was involved in the some buying and selling stuff for a frnd, so he missed the tr8 and came late (and acted as if he didnt regretted it ). Now this is wat i call a cool guy . Period. We were 6.

Finally - Barrista Creme it is - strolled down to it - went thr , broke a glass and came out . In between , most of the time was consumed in some pose-marring sessions while the waiter was ordered and reordered to wait .Vikalp wanted to break few more strings of the seemingly expensive guitar lying at the corner but somehow we managed to keep it outta his reach . In between i took a quick nap while the other members started discussing abt F&G yet again .They were using so many acronyms for naming others in F&G (example BD , CD , PD :p)as though these were degrees earned by them , megha aka megs being the only one for me . Also the similar ritual of attending calls was continued .Their were some pranks in between , whr the only the person who laughed was tarun while everybody nodded that they understood it completely and asked other whther they also understood only to hear yes , oh ya .

The story goes - 3 -2
People wanetd to get some more information abt a russian girl (whom i wud love to meet :d) but vikalp kept us guessing (and me dreaming).People wanted more .....( i mean F&G meets ).

Quote @ Barrista - 'Mujhe koi itne pyaar se nahi khilati' by tarun on seein pritika offer somethg out of her 'Dark temptation' to vikalp.


Last few mins were spent by me on guessing the price of the glass vikalp broke ..
