Today while walking past the cubicle I thought I would never stop by WKS.F-160 to say "Madar****..G*** mar denge tumhari". Yaa..it was Jojab's desk who left the organisation yesterday and with whom I share many a things in common..from being unable to save a single penny to being capable of making girls feel embarrassed enough by continuously ogling at their assets..from being very fond of pulling others legs to having high flying dreams of owning multiple Ferraris and gigantic mansions. The only thing in him which I didn't like was his being a paedophile. But I choose to ignore it as I don't have kids yet..atleast not ones whom I had to give my surname. Apart from that we kind of gelled well..actually we became best of friends(had to write this as he gifted me with an ADIDAS T-shirt today).
I was going through one of the worst phases in my life when I had come to Hyderabad few months back. Nothing in my life was going the way I would have wanted them to. Apart from that I was in a new city with no friends around which provided me with enough time to think about things which had gone wrong and indulge into self agony...and thus making things even more difficult for myself.
Then I met these guys in office with whom I used to share the cubicle..they were a bunch of hooligans..a bunch of assholes who would pass dirty comments on every girl passing by their desk, who seemed to believe that everybody else could be addressed by 2-3 common names belonging to a set X such that each element of X ends with c**d. Finally, in this new city I had managed to find people who reminded me of my college days and my college friends whom I had missed the most during the last 2 and a half years..I started hanging around with them in office..but we were yet to sit together with pegs for the actual bonding to happen..that happened pretty soon as well. It was already 11 at night and all the wine shops were closed by then..we roamed around the city for more than 2 hours searching frantically for alcohol only to realize that all the wine shops were actually closed by then and it was too late..but we had planned for a night out and a booze party at my place..so it had to happen and finally we managed to get some vodka from a shady bar which was still open.It was fun..we drank till morning..Jojab was high on alcohol..high on spirit, we started sharing our deepest secrets..my heart break, Jojab's first crush, Haula bhai's desire to f**k every good looking girl's sister(Haula Bhai has a strange fanatasy..he always feels like f***ing the sisters of all good looking girls and not the girl herself)..we discussed everything. We also managed to make Mr.Emotional stay awake till 7 in the morning who would otherwise pass off before it is 11:00 PM..
..may be we were no more office colleagues.
I started spending most of time with them...The night outs started happening more frequently..so did our Barsita trips..and not to forget the late night TT matches where Jojab owned the prestigious title of being a gaddha..All these things kept me busy enough not to provide me with time to indulge into self misery..and may be that helped me move on..move on quite a bit. Apart from a thing or two, last few months had been great..but every good thing or journey has to end some day..
We are men..so we didn't cry while sharing the stories of our heart break. We are men..so we couldn't let others see the drop of tear held in our eyes when it was time to wave goodbye.I still have those fours beddings lying in our drawing room..may be I know that I would never have to take these back to the drawing room once I arrange them on my bed in my room this time..the night outs would never be the same with Jojab not being there..I would never roam around the city at midnight searching for food..I would never be stopping at WKS F-160 to share a dirty piece of information about the hot babe sitting on the bl******g terminal at the cubicle next to that of mine.
I had heard a lot of people saying that you can't make good friends at workplace. Yups it is very much true..but we were born to break old rules and set new ones..so we had chosen to deny it this time as well..
