Phone Call #3.

"Those words hurt me , man." said Vivek " Even though you say it every five seconds. They truly hurt."


"You're too stoned to care." said Nicky , as if nothing had happened. Vivek shrugged and lighted a cigarette. Kailash grabbed it out of his mouth. "You know about my asthma." He spat out , "I'll choke like there's no tomorrow! "


"Alright man , I'm going upstairs. Ashish should be back by now. "Vivek groaned. He headed up the door - "Don't wait up".



"One of these days he's going to snap." Sameer said "One way or the other."

"Till then he's like a stoned punching bag."


"Or a punching bag made of stone." said Aditya , angling his laptop."Imagine him with a girl , touring the country - and smoking weed day and night in their little hippie bus."


"Growing ganja in their own backyard." said Kailash


"Nah - they'll have a bus , and kids too - with little bongs." said Nicky , grinning.


"The perfect family , that'll be " said Aditya. "Right up there with Mister and Miss doctor over here."


"Hey , we were friends since school , okay?"


"Still doesn't matter man - you have the holy grail of any MITan" Nicky said , his hands raised in the air.


"The all elusive - KMC CHICK"


"Amen" Nicky and Aditya said together .


"Idiots" Sameer muttered under his breath.


"So what , it's just a girl." Kailash pitched in.

Phone Call #2.

"He went in the morning; it's a Tuesday.” said Sameer, "I guess he's at the library now, making notes as usual.”


"It's only been two weeks , we've hardly covered anything!" said Nicky "He even keeps writing like mad in class , as if they're announcing the question paper!"


"Well I guess some people enjoy putting a little extra effort in class- gives them time for other things, like Sameer and his girlfriend." Aditya said, "Isn't that right - medical boy?"


"Can't blame him for having a nurse fetish."


"She's not a nurse .She's studying medicine."


Aditya got up. "Doctor! Doctor! can you kiss my…. "


Kailash walked into the room. Aditya stood still , his hand on his rear end. Nicky was at the back , laughing.


"Another normal day , I see." said Kailash.


"It's not what it looks like "


"Or maybe it is" chimed Nicky - "Who knows man , you guys might actually have a closet case in your hands."


"Oh please , if anyone's gay around here - it's you."Snapped Aditya ," Hanging around with the girls all day, man. And still no girlfriend."


"Hey man , I'm just popular with the ladies. And you would be too if you quit acting like some death metal- obsessed -gamer- gore- freak whenever you're twenty feet near a woman."


"Whatever man. What about Vivek then?"


"He's too stoned to ever talk to a woman." quipped Nicky. "Don't look at me like that , man - you KNOW that's true."

Phone Call.

"What a Boring day" sighed Sameer , as he got back to his private apartment.
He took out his keys , but the door was already unlocked , as usual.


"Sameer , you're finally back!" cried Vivek , putting his cards face - first on the ground."We started without you man , thought you'd never show up."


"Yeah , those damn extra classes " groaned Sameer , as he sat down on a cane chair "It's just two weeks into the semester and she's taken eight classes already."


"Sucks to be you" said Nicky , peering into his cards. "This is what you get for taking Electrical , pal. At least the electronics department waits for a month before they go all crazy."


"Two months for mechanical " said Vivek from the side , "Plus we get better jobs ."

"You guys suck. The IT department never goes nuts." said Aditya , as he came out of the bathroom."Five half days , bitches."


"But the placements suck " chimed Vivek.

"Screw placements , like I'll get a job anyway.MBA all the way , baby." Aditya said , taking out cards from his pocket. "Like I'll be sitting in a cubicle all day writing code for some soulless corporation."


"What'd you rather be doing , then?"


"I'll be in the marketing division , selling heartless corporations to families and little kids , pretending to give a shit."


"That makes no sense."

Oh yeah - one word , Microsoft." Aditya said , picking up a card from the pile. " Full house."


"You're just weird man " said Nicky , as he put his cards on the table. "No wonder you guys became friends."


"And enemies." said Vivek. "Whenever it's convenient."


"Speaking of enemies - where's Kailash?" cried Nicky, "Gone to the temple again?"
