YAWN! Please do not expect any more social hangovers, if they turn out to be like Tuesday night. Since I committed myself to giving a report, I have to fulfill my duty for this week. So here goes…

Bheecias…Wonder what that means?! Poor old pandit was at the receiving end as the buses raced through Suicide Alley, making sure, at least trying to make sure, that the ‘handsome’ Fionas weren’t kept waiting. The School Tennis Captain was at his brightest as we entered the dim auditorium. I must mention that the junior Welhamites on seeing such a spectacular show of lights (‘588’ watts), were feeling jealous of their seniors and decided to bombard us with chalks of various sizes. The Doscos weren’t going to cower as Anju and Bhofa did the school proud, picking up the ammunition and starting a counter-attack. Many bled that night! The Welhamites can expect the same welcome. Many girls were seen chasing after 588 watts, wondering what made him such a ‘bright boy.’

Moving on to some masala… Khandu decided to ‘terminate’ the ice and shook his bon-bon. Relationships were mended, hearts were broken and ears had to suffer the mazik of the rocking nasal mania, GO HIMASSSS! I couldn’t understand what was going through the DJ’s head. Vignesh, for once, did not keep an arm’s distance.

Chicken Little nibbled on papaya throughout the night. The papayas were specially sent from Yam Nagar. The Tongue Express was at his fastest best. Last heard he had managed to shoot off 200 w.p.m. (words per minute). I wonder if Adi got any of it. After getting energized by the re-shamiya songs, Chadz, the lad from the city of K-pur, let himself loose (literally!) with some surooooor steps. He was seen jumping around, to the amazement of the Doscos and Welhamites alike.

Yes, Sengar has finally lost his rash, as Charm School really paid its dividends for Neelu as he is in the process of acquiring a rash himself. The COP was flying ‘high’ on Sahara Airlines in an attempt to escape the wrath of the Ch. Ed. (Me!!!!). I bet he loved the airhostesses. Bro Ro tried his broken best to find himself a companion but only ended up with a Sister (do we congratulate him for that?).

Although my loyalties are with the school where ‘I was at’, the native students apparently found my fidelity questionable. A mysterious letter in the hands of a charismatic messenger was unveiled to all the students, much like the stuff that Page 3 is made of. To my disappointment, I realized that pet mein baat rehti nahin.

When the dance floor went cold, Suseeel stepped forward to warm it with his garma-garam item numbers. One thing it succeeded in was keeping the girls away. Even Suseeel’s dance partner, Hiru/ Bajri, decided to stay well away, so much so, that he stayed back in school.

The Socials slowly faded into the night and much to our liking (or maybe not), we were back in school with Mr. Chill reliving his good old days.

After having dug my own grave this week, I send out a plea for a rocking obituary. (By a special someone? – Sp. Cpdt. Sethia, perhaps?)

For now, it’s ciao from me, until I say ‘Al’oha again.
