circa 2000 A.D?Now this date I am not sure.Yeah sometimes even I get speechless!Now we meet some more members of the very esteemed crew!
He was always merry=gay
together we entered the writer's fray
but it never quite worked that way
His name was KK...
Yeah...KK of the Kishore Kumar singing fame...the boy with the handkerchief.We both had this habit of trying to write books.We had a lot of ideas and wrote a lot of titles!Sadly thats all they remained....just titles.Never panned out.But then again today he writes for one of India's biggest newspapers and I am .....well writing my blog!But then you are reading it,so who is in a worse state?
He taught us to roll a fag
Even though he had jet-lag
The East Coast Rollers we brag
Oh yeah, its Jag
Jaidev aka Jug head aka Jag,well as part of the 'Quartet' we shared quite a lot in common but then Jag was rather unique in this bunch. Well for starters he was the first guy who used to constantly pull my leg!But not the last(cliche!)....At that time I was of course painfully shy!I like to claim that I still am.
The 'Woodhouse' was our common hang out.It was of course just an overturned tree in front of the KG block but what the hell,it was a nice name for a nice place.The mentioned event took place in this setting.I suffer from what is commonly called foot-in-the-mouth syndrome.That day I had a spell and I said something to the effect of 'I can beat you easily in a wrestling match Kk.'
KK looked at me and with that usual style delivered his comeback "Its not the size of the man in the fight.... " blah blah(You know that one).Then we decided to settle it man to man with Jag being the referee.
The fight began in god earnest in the sandpit in front of KG block(also famous for the kabbadi incident).I flew like a butterfly and tried to sting like a bee,but it didnt quite work out.Kk neatly avoided my punches and did something that caught me by surprise!He used the palm of his hand and brought it down like a sledgehammer on my nose...I could not fly out of that one!BHAM!!It landed,I was in pain.
I recovered from the shock shrugged off the pain and gave one K.O punch that sealed the win for me and wiped the smirk of his face and went down like a champion.
That would have been an ideal ending for the chapter would it not?
But alas,it did not happen.I fell down with the pain and Kk pinned me down as Jag gleefully counted to three and I ended up losing the match,injuring my dignity and my nose has never been straight since then.

THE WOODHOUSE!
Hehe. I remember wanting to know where this woodhouse place is/was. But none of you boys wanted to tell me, the girl. But Jaidev secretly told me to follow you boys during the lunch break and find out. LOL. I didnt have to though, one of you gave it away eventually.
And and and..KK and your damned titles. LOL. What were they - 'Burning Freezer' and 'Frozen Hell'??? Or something of that order. F$%k.
Which kabaddi incident are u referring to btw?
Also..whats wrong with your nose? Ive never noticed anything abnormal =S
Love the writing Prem. Reading your blog will help me keep the Alzheimers away for some more time.
@keets.. //I didnt have to though, one of you gave it away eventually.// was it me?? it really wasn't a big deal 'the woodhouse'.. curiosity got the better of u..
//And and and..KK and your damned titles. LOL. What were they - 'Burning Freezer' and 'Frozen Hell'??? Or something of that order. F$%k.// for some reason i remember 'The Tickling Death'.. me n Jag rolled over laughing when we heard the title n the plot..
@prem.. //Which kabaddi incident are u referring to btw?// i don't think it's the 7th std. one, prem wasn't involved in that.. plus location was different.. dude which incident is this??
@keer-my nose is actually a bit crooked.some ppl have pointed it out! and i did confirm it.
@tan-kabbadi incident in 9 i think where we all played in that sand box and then VP came there.u guys all took off on ly wats and me remained.
@prem.. i've absolutely no recollection of this.. i guess u do because u got caught by VP apparently :-P
yeah machi of course i remember...ask watso...
@All, surprisingly enough, I remember that incident. I think she took more offense to the fact that we were out even after the break had ended than to the fact that we could have been injured. :)
@Prem, I think you will be the only person to go down in history as having been beaten by KK in a contest involving violence.
