Bansal Re-Union 2021!

So my friends, after a long time I am writing a blog (no one gives a damn but still..).. i and a friend of mine Abhinav were dissed about life dissing our sorry asses so we thought up this weird crap over a very sad pathetic cup of coffee...
This is about my and my friends' lives after 13 yrs... when we all will be 30...

2021:
(At gaurav towers bansal classes kota)..

I get out of a car. Looks at the building which took everything from us yet gave everything we have.. I turn my head and look the already present colorless gathering already present...some mourning (yes i repeat some, some only ,and only some) the death of our somewhat beloved guru Mr. V.K. Bansal.. Max. of the crowd is of girls wearing the bansal T-shirt which has "Bansalite today IITian tomorrow" written on it... i search for some familiar faces and was rewarded with a spectacle faced friend Abhinav Shubham..
I walk towards him and bearing a enthusiastic look in my eyes. Joy of meeting an old buddy from past..
He looks at me and gives me a bear hug and asks me about my life.. (sigh!!) about "my" life...(I am saying this coz till now i thought my life was saddest...)

Abhinav: (Rubs his nose)long time...
Me: (looking at Abhinav rubbing his nose) 13 yrs man..!
Abhinav: so back at Gaurav towers?
Me: what was your last batch again?
Abhinav: Shut the fu*k up.
Me: kidding.
Abhinav: so how’s your life?
Me:(sigh)so what about my life..(Looks away...stare at bansal classes board)
Abhinav: you know...your job. Your love life..

(Recounting my exp.)
At 20 i was this sharp kid at college.. Participated in every event.. got good grades... had buddies and a nice pocket money..But i realised that my hobbies of making videos and writing poetry isn't helping me out in getting touch in opposite gender...I had lots of girl buddies but i mean Literally i didn't get in touch... so one sad day i wrote this one last poem which somehow, to my surprise, became lyrics of a very famous song and overnight i became rich... Then this multi-national company hired me as a public representative coz i was famous and was good at twisting words and kicking peoples' asses in discussions..So on a look it may seem nice but still i am without love..
(Sighs again)

So now abhinav’s turn ....half of this crap is his actually so i hand it over to him now....
19 was the most wonderful year of my life ....college no worries....and a beautiful girl by my side...turns out life has been a downhill from then onwards....more like I went speed skiing with life....graduated and got a job with company exporting aircraft parts manufactured in India...got bored of my job at 25 and got a job as this game show quiz designer...got famous on the small screen but still found no love...
(Humph...sigh!!)

We both laughs at the irony and similarity of our lives but it has always been thus so who cares..
We then walk to our hangout place.. Our second home (first to many)... "U4"(for underprivileged people this is to inform you its a cyber cafe)..

(At U4)
We entered and once again we were surrounded by familiar faces....All telling us their conquest and struggles in life.. Their boring life actually made a interesting hearing...

Risky, Vivek and Vipin, these were the only guys who actually kept in touch, seems like U4 did them some good in the end. Turns out that Risky had this "innovative" idea of opening up this game learning school.. Where operators from all around the world came to learn new tricks to develop games... Risky who was the "brains" of the operation came up with new various ideas... while Vivek put them in execution and Vipin taught them to people... Vivek and Vipin couldn’t live without each other so they ended up taking a flat together..
But in case of love they were all losers... like us.. Their passion for comp. games repelled girls..

We met Jatin then or now so called Jayanti... Well Jatin always had horns for guys so he had this little sex change operation and turned into a woman... so Jatin ohh! Sorry.. Jayanti ...who was looking for love in all the wrong places.. But still lived a "satisfied" life...

Mihr came in next with a baby in his arm... The gujju was covered in gold chains and rings... looked like he inherited his father's business... we congratulated him but he wasn’t happy. Turns out that his life really was not as good as it looked... He was married to this girl his father chose for him.. He like a good son obeyed his father but the twist in the story is that Mihr realized that he was a bit queer than the rest.. Well he was a gay... really unhappy and confused.. His wife hated him for his inability to satisfy her so she divorced him... Mihr wanted to marry his "type"... but his father wouldn’t allow this so he was pretty lonely in his life....

We noticed a red head and wow it was Samrat... Samrat and his brother Ashish were in partnership but they broke up... One look at Ashish was enough to know the reason... It turns out that in the year in which Ronaldo was injured.. Ashish being a great fan of his couldn’t take it and went into serious drinking.. His face was unshaven and was wearing ManU Ronaldo Jersey.. He was watching Ronaldo's video on youtube.. we didn’t disturb him...

Next we met Ayush.. The only guy who had a successful love life... he got married to his High School sweet-heart... who happened to be a daughter of income tax officer... so it would be safe to say that Ayush was pretty satisfied with his life...

we looked around for Sankalp but couldn’t find him... Came to know that he didn’t have time to come as he was growing his hair like Einstein doing some chemical research and learning to sing his fav. song(You really don’t want to know about it).. Well that’s the Sankalp we always knew...

Nono (Nipun) came in next.. We all knew what he did in life.. Coz we laughed at him all the time... don’t get me wrong.. He took part in laughter challenge XV and won it.. So he was a successful comedian... even though he could make girls laugh but still no one took him "seriously".. So he was also a successful loser in his life...

Between all this we noticed something weird going in between Mihr and Jayanti... Jayanti couldn’t stop looking at Mihr and Mihr who thought that he liked guys came to know he was wrong.. He liked guys turned into women more...(sigh)They made a wonderful pair...

And then Adiwasi entered... He was still living with his Mother and was working at an amusement park for charity... He sat on "Hit me for 5 bucks" chair.. Well even his good deeds didn’t do him any good in finding love...

Suddenly I remembered Baron... I asked for him... people who knew him best told me he died...
He died at 29.... Turns out that he was diagnosed with lung cancer at 23... he quit smoking and took up drinking.. His kidney was removed at 26.... He quit drinking and took drugs... his body then just couldn’t bear anymore and gave in....

Well I just had to say it was heck of reunion or more like i should say weird thinking...
The idea was simple that if we continue our life like this we would have little social life... and guys just don’t come after me... Half of this was Maddy's (abhinav) idea...
Man we are seriously so jobless...
