Xploring Alcohol in Pondicherry


This journey started from my office. My TL asked me, would I will join them in Pondicherry party. I said yes anddd this became the first colleague party.. Next day, our journey started from our office in a bolero. We were 9, so it was slightly congested, but ok. After some 6-7 kms, a question popped up-“weather we would like to start drinking right now or after reaching Pondi”. I said, “I will not have”, he asked “why”, I said “I don’t drink”, he said “too bad”. I thought “is it too bad”.  Then we stopped at a wine shop and took some beer for a good start. After that we stopped at one more place to smoke. NOTE: I didn’t smoke nor I drink, still I was enjoying. We reached Pondy and on priority basis-booked cottage for stay. Then we visited Beach side and got some booze on the way. Actually Pondy is famous for 2 Bs- Beach and Booze. Beach side was cooool, it had many couples, foreigners, employees like us roaming here and there. We covered whole beach side and then moved to our cottages buying cold drinks en route. As soon as we reached there, we ordered dinner and started drinking session, since I don’t drink hard, I just had Cold drinks.

After some time, I got a call; I went out for some time. And when I came back, I had a sip of coke; suddenly I found out that, its taste was bad. I got the idea, it was mixed. Since I had little, nothing happened. The session continued for some time with dinner. We were very late, due to which, hotel guyz were able to arrange only my order (veg) and chicken biryani, but chicken was not available. Due to this, one guy was not able to satisfy his hunger. I am sure; he was saying bad words in his mind. One more colleague was doing the same, because one of the cottage guy was standing beside him and talking to out TL, for a very long time. My colleague got irritated. Our TL was getting friendly with them so that, they don’t cause any problem to us after getting drunk. They were also high. One more group was there in neighboring cottage; they were not only having hard drinks but other drugs too. They were real high. After finishing all the drinks, our TL started playing songs and dancing, we all joined him. After all this fun, we went in for sleep. I was not able to sleep for 1 hour, donno why, and then I too slept.

In morning, our TL woke all of us and then we headed towards beach. The Sun was rising and we were going down. High waves were hitting our body as if they were massaging our body. Environment was filled with morning sunshine, cool breeze, on one side sand and on the other never ending water. Bay of Bengal was welcoming us. We played in water for some time and then came out. After enjoying there we moved towards another beautiful beach Paradise Beach. This beach has another instance; we had to wait for long time in a queue to get a ticket for boat. This boat took us to Paradise Beach. There I had Breezer, which has very little amount of alcohol, I felt as if I was having cold drink, it’s the only reason, I took it in. We stayed on that beach for some time and then moved back to our car.

When we were coming back, a girl sat beside me, she was from east side. She was smart good looking and had a life jacket in her hand. She was staring at that for few minutes, I felt it odd, I mean, why she was staring at that, it is meant to wear and if you don’t want, just put it down. After watching her for a while, I told her, “Wear it”. Then she wear it, I helped her in that, as she was not able. Then we were sitting silently for some time, I was feeling bore, then I talked to my colleagues for some time. They were sitting quite far from me, so I was not able to hear their voice; therefore, we stopped talking.  We still had some time to our destination. SO I started talking to that girl. We also talked for a while and then stopped. HI HI HI.

Return Journey
Had another twist, my friends had their consignments of booze, we took them and now Bolero was full of drinks. As you know, “shit happens” and it always happens with, so it happened this time too. En the route to Chennai, police stopped us and searched our car, and took nearly half the bottles we had.  Since Legally, It’s not allowed to carry drinks across city. But he left us and didn’t charge us anything. We were saved. God helped us. He is always there to help me, as he knows that I will go into a new trouble daily. This was my 3rd encounter in last 6 months. 

Well, this trip helped me to xplore many types of drugs…
Breezer, Bear, Whisky, Shampane, Vodka, Grass, Fireshot, Weed, Ganjaa, Marijuana and many more are there. At least you should have the knowledge of all these, weather u take these or not.

Long Journey

The journey towards base location, towards my actual work place started late night @ 12. It was as usual, totally surprising, amazing. I understand Shit happens; just what I don’t understand is why it happens always with me. All sort of crazy things started right from the beginning of my journey.
I started my journey from home, picked a friend from janki nagar mandir, and confirmed another friend that we are coming to his location. When we were about to reach his house, we called him, his phone was unreachable. All (me, my friend, Dad, Driver) called him, but he was unreachable, and problem was that we had only single no. We reached his location (actually we didn’t know his house address, so we planned to meet at some point) and waited for half hour or more, trying again and again. After Long time I was able to call him; he came to specified location and told us that he has lot of luggage, so we moved to his place. He had so many luggages, that we had to sit in a very congested manner. Now we reached Bhopal at 4:30 am and got to know that our train is just 4 hours late. It was scheduled to reach Bpl at 5:30 am, but it again got late by 2 hours and reached at 12pm. It was a really a long journey from indore to Chennai. As per our schedule, we had to reach Chennai at 6:30 am and report office at 11pm. But we reach office at 4pm.


At that time, we had no idea whats going on, what we were doing, what will be the reaction of office people. We were late right on the first day of our job and that too not by 10-15 mins but by 5 hours. But we thought lets ready to face whatever happens there. We entered into office and greeted all the friends over there; they started congratulating us, saying that we have already got projects. I didn’t understand a thing whats going on, how can we get projects right on the first day and that after being 5 hours late. Soon we faced RMG (a group who allocates projects) who told us, that we had to meet some person on 1st floor in Target. We reached there and knew it’s actually a project and soon after few minutes we faced an interview. Vow Vow Vow…. Everything was so fast, I didn’t understand a thing that was going on, I was just going with the flow. Sometimes it’s better not to think anything, but just go with the flow. After interview, interviewer relieved us and asked to report next day, 1st Jan 2013. We hoped that maybe we can get holiday next day, so that we can settle down with new location, new room, new environment, but no. We started working right from the next day. It was all hectic, tensioning, but all was for our benefit only and quite enjoyable day. The Whole trip ended on a good note with project in my hand. That is what we call as ‘All well that ends well’.
