The French Connection
"5.30! 5.30 saaarp!", yelled Ajith into the phone tapping at his watch.
I didn't get it. "Whats the rush?"
"Dei! We are leaving at 5.30, after office" and he hung up.
I wound up at office by 5.30, went home, put on riding gear and thumbed the started on Zak's Electra 5 speed. I let the engine warm up as I put on my helmet. Left Anna Nagar by 6, only to get caught in the evening traffic. I took me almost an hour to get to proper ECR. By 7.15 I was at the toll gate meeting Ajith (Bull 500), Kartik (Bull 500), Dosai (Thunderbird) and me on Zak's 'to be run in' Electra 5 speed.
We didnt waste much time and got back on the road. Kharthik's 500 was running in too, so we were 'supposed' to take it easy. Both Ajith's 500 and mine were maintaining typical Bullet tradition (though mine wasn't a Bullet) and spewing oil from around the engine area. Ajith's Goldstar exhaust had a nice metallic sound to it and felt like a slap in the face everytime he would overtake the pack. After a small 2 minute break at Mahabs (60 kms from the city) to let the running in bikes cool down, we continued. From here the ride was fun. Pitch dark roads, four bright headlamps and the thump of the irons. With lane markers and cat eyes giving us advance warning of the road ahead, we managed to do some safe speeding in a tight pack. Stopped for coffee at Midway and reached Pondy at 10.30~ish. Went straight to Hotel Aruna, took a room, and settled down. The rest of the time spent there is summed by "Caman the enjaiment"!
We woke up at, err...sometime in the morning, did some shopping in the main bazaar and went to the French restaurant near Auroville. Had some amazing food there and Ajith bugger started tempting us by saying he felt like staying back and all. The lunch bill came and we tried offering a credit card but, "Sorry sir, only cash." Stark reality hit us that we had no cash! So what did we do? No, we didnt wash dishes and all, but made Karthikh run to the ATM.
With the bill paid, we geared up and rode back to Chennai. The ride back is a story for another mail!
cheers

The New Year
Ahhh 2006 flew mon. It fackin flew. Came and went jus like that.
It was the 31st.. Last day of the year and noone knew what they were gonna do that night. I was off alcohol so I knew this was going to be a sober night for a few of us. Sober night for me means less dancing, less craking jokes and less drunk people at the pardy place. Its been like 6 years since I have seen the new year with a clear head :P~
Hooked up with Aditya in the evening and took off to Bobby's place. Caught bob,Dol and veer at the ICICI ATM and after like 1000 moz bites, me and dol took off to Nilgiris to get some Pepsi, Snacks and a lollipop. Got back to Bob's place and carried like 10 beers and loads of hard alcohol upstairs to get the pardy started. Sat down and was yapping for a while and couple of Bob's friends came in and then the OH- flow started with me as bartender and part time DJ :P~. By 9 pm wonlee BOB was like 3 drinks down and was finding it difficult not to show us all his receding hairline. 1, 2, 3 ... The shots went on until everyone was nice and high. Kim and Maxx joined the fun somewhere midway. More people came in and I have fackin no clue what their names were. Zak came in quite late with the Hookah and the chooga chooga started wonlee. Double apple and mint filled the room and everyone including the chicks tried their hands at it. Zak took off after sometime and came back with his Wifey and his cuteness of a daughter. He also came back with a Russel peters CD and that provided entertainment admist new year wishes ;-). David like the fackin fella that he is lost his way on the way to Bob's place and I decided to get on the bike and drag his sorry ass back home :P~. Bob meanwhile was tryin to get Zak into his evil plan of His non-existing son marrying his cute existing daughter. BWHAHAHAHAHA.
Somewhere around 3 am, me, adi, ravi, david and Udit decided to CAMAN THE RIDE and off we went full jacketed ( Bobs thanks for the riding jacket mon ). Rode to casuarina bay chai shop st slow speeds and DAIM i enjaaied every second of it. Met the Sangam at the chai shop. Raj was already conked, sindhu was sleepy. Solo and Saru were happy, Topic and Naren were high. Arul was sober and Dead Dog was havin some good fun. After chai we all rode back to Naathari Naren's place for more alcohol and tapping. Finally the party closed at 6 in the morning and i reached home at 6.15 and CRASHHHHHHHHHH.
Notes:-
Russel peters is a must watch
Not drinking during new year is a diffrent thing. U wake up clear the next day.
Riding into the new year is a great feeling. Its always awesome starting a year with a ride that too with friends :-)
CAMAN THE ENJAIMENT
Peace
