Lest we forget

Today I am writing the blog on an (Nausena) incident, which, I believe, everybody would have forgotten by now.
It is nothing too different, but real amusing, I would call it “A typical day in Nausena way” – marked by true Nausena spirit - total confusion, chaos, mess, disorder….

Shipra had to go to MNIT Allahabad to participate in a Software competition with a few classmates.
Now imagine the last minute rush……train in 30 min….distance to station is around 4-5 kms. Her project is not yet complete (last min changes)…..
Problem with flopees –
(floppee is most unreliable thing in this world –at times even more unreliable than ‘guys’;) We were running to and fro from our place to Chaitanya’s place (dist around 1.5 km) to get the things right and proper in floppees, writing floppee from our PC, checking it in Chaitanya’s PC and vice versa.

In all this mess, we realized we do not have enough cash at home :o (ATMs did not exist at that time).

Scene at station - Shipra’s teammates at station getting restless – only 15 min left and no clue of Shipra

In these 15 min, we had to collect money from Harsh place and drop Shipra to station.
So somebody (I guess Piyush) took Shipra to the station on one of our beloved lunas,

Harsh and I went on “Nitin Gupta’s” scooter to bring cash (I just hope Nitin does not read this blog, else he will kill Harsh for speeding up to the extent he did that day)
We collected the cash and were going to station in high speed….on one crossing, we smashed into a girl on scooty and the girl and scooty both fell down

Harsh could not stop his reflex reaction and uttered some forbidden words. That girl took off her helmet and oh my God !, she was ‘Vidula’, one of the sophisticated cutie pie of our batch. But we did not have time to pick her and tell her ‘Sorry’. We just ran off. I still hope she did notice 'me' on the scooter…….

Shipra reached station after the signal was already down, her teammates were quite panicky and had lost hope till that time.
We (me and harsh) reached station after the train already started moving. Somebody took the money from me and ran after the train (DDLJ scene) and finally handover the money to Shipra.

[According to Nausena tradition, everybody goes to station to bid goodbye every time anyone of us was leaving ] So finally everybody was there.

Chaitanya and Chirantan entered the platform when the last coach of the train was leaving the platform. Both were dressed in formals, with good news, that they got an offer from CMC ltd. Yes, it was CMC recruitment day.

When we regained our senses after this fire-fighting situation, we realized that its time to celebrate. We decided to go to ‘Jodhpur Coffee House’ at ‘Nai Sadak’
We picked our two wheelers, reached Jodhpur Coffee house, only to find out that four of the eight people are missing
We waited for half an hour, still no clue of them (how much we needed cellphones)

Incidentally they were waiting for us at another ‘jodhpur coffee house’ at sardarpura. Somehow, we knew only about the coffee house at nai sadak and they knew only about the one at sardarpura.
After 45 min have passed, we asked the receptionist whether they have another branch in the city. Finally we could find out that others were in Sardarpura, we all reached there and…

…….we had a great evening thereafter
(at least I do not remember any mishappenings after that)
