Hmmmm... I really don't have much to say after the apt introduction Chirag has given for the three of us. Yes. We made fun of others. We made fun of situations. We made fun of whatever could be made fun of, but most of all we made fun of ourselves. Having said that I must also say that we paid our fair share of dues. I suffered from a serious bout of jaundice during my First year B.Sc., Shetty has had his share of malaria attacks and Chirag has curly hair.
This would be a good time to say good things about Chirag. :). He for one has the eternal ability to take jokes on himself. He enjoys them. He laughs as if it has been cracked on someone else. Sometimes he does react but only to make the situation funnier. The point has always been to laugh in the moment. There is no one upmanship in humour.
I don't feel proud very often, but I am proud of the way we had our fun. While most of our peers were getting drunk just so that they could fit in, we accommodated fun into our lives just by each other's company. Situations were our high. I was watching this amazing movie called "The Bucket List" the other day. It has brilliant performances by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman and is about the things they decide to do before they die. Its a highly inspiring film with a strong message. Why I mention it here, is that one of the things thats on their list of things to do before they die is "Laugh till you cry". Chirag, Shetty, Ankit and I did this so often that I thought for a very long time it was normal. I realise today it is not. Not many people get the opportunity, place, situation and most importantly people to laugh with without inhibition.
We lost touch in brief periods throughout these years that we have known each other; but we always started off where we left. Again, to my disbelief, not a common phenomenon. I guess we could do this only because we were always ourselves. We didn't try to ape others (Chirag and I imitating Aamir Khan in Koi kahe doesn't count). We were comfortable in our skin. We were comfortable with our lives.
I just read this blog through and it is the most boring piece of literature I have ever read or will read in my entire life. I can't believe I am choosing this as my first blog. As they say, if you start from the bottom, it can only get better. Chirag tried this in one of his relationships but shockingly it didn't work out very well. I should also tell you at this point that sometimes we do exaggerate :)
Let the exaggerations begin!
