Wicked_gal86 : U r such a pessimist. We won!

Ruthlesswarrior07 : 4 wht? A piece of rocky barren land
where nothing thrives? And we lost
so many men for tht?
Wicked_gal86 : Tht land was part of our motherland,
so hw does it matter if it is barren?
V cnt just hand it over to some rats
who manage to infiltrate our
borders, 4 hvns sake!!!
Ruthlesswarrior07 : All this could have been avoided -
this Kargil, this war. Everything
culd have been avoided. So many
lives culd have been saved.

Wicked_gal86 : I knw yaar. Its sad, but they gave
their lives 4 dis country, and by
sayin tht winnin Kargil is of no
significance means in effect we are
saying their sacrifice was 4 nothing.
Ruthlesswarrior07: What the hell do u knw abt sacrifice?
Its easy 4 u 2 say all that crap
sitting in ur home. Thought about
their familes who are torn asunder
in sorrow and grief?
Wicked_gal86 : wats wid u dear? Why such a strong
reaction? Y r u getting angry wid
me?
Ruthlesswarrior07 : M nt angry wid u, am angry wid the

Wicked_gal86 : Hw dare u accuse me of that? Whn
did I ever call her a bitch?
Ruthlesswarrior07 : Ok. U never said so directly, but
wenevr I talkd abt her, ur reactions
were always very bitchy.
Wicked_gal86 : Cos she acts lyk one. She keeps u
on a leash and u wag ur tail for
her. So how am I wrong?
Ruthlesswarrior07 : Thats betwn me and her. No need
4 u 2 comment.
Wicked_gal86 : Lyk u dnt comment abt me and
Vishal.

Ruthlesswarrior07 : I care a damn how does it matter 2
me if u r wid a big-biceped

Wicked_gal86 : Dnt call Vishal a chimpanzee. He is

Today was a very special day in my life. And how
could it not be? A girl with whom I have spent many an
hour chatting during the nights since March, met me for
the first time ever. Even writing about this seems
bizarre, considering we spent many sessions sexually
stimulating each other. I have heard stories where a boy
and girl meet after corresponding for years, and when
they finally do, the atmosphere changes radically, like
trees seeming to sway, hint of a thunderstorm, birds
chirping louder, and all that jazz. But then stories are
stories, and reality is a different ball game altogether,
sans the rosy settings and all the colourful hues. The
harsh reality is that one should never have great
expectations in life, especially when a girl is involved.
What started out as a day full of fantasy expectations
turned out to be a mixed bag of emotions for me. And I
would hold Ritika partly to blame for that!
Its difficult to explain I wouldnt say that I did not
have an enjoyable time with her or that she bored me to

tears or anything like that. It was just that after meeting
her, my perception about her changed. Girls are weird I
know, but she fell in the extreme category of weirdness.
I have to admit, though, that I liked the fact that her way
of thinking was very different from the other girls of my
acquaintance - not that I know many of them.
We had decided that we would meet at Bandstand, as
that was the only place she seemed to be familiar with in
Mumbai (her cousin stayed somewhere close by). 10
a.m. to be precise. She said she would come in a red and
green chiffon salwar kameez. I have no idea what in hell
chiffon is, but I do know what red, green and salwar
kameez is. However, being a Sunday, it was certainly
some task finding a green and red salwar kameez
amongst the crowd. I pleaded with the stubborn girl to
give me her photo, but to no avail. It would have
certainly saved me a lot of trouble on many counts. Not
only would it have been easier for me to identify the girl
amidst the crowd, if she had turned out to be visually
unappealing, I could have easily slunk away. Sorry to
sound so sexist, but I was not the one fixated on her

looks, she was the one who planted the idea in my head.
She had described her physical attributes so eloquently,
that one could not be blamed for imagining her to be a
bombshell. I do agree that I believed some of the things
she told me could be exaggerations, but if she turned out
to be absolutely contrary to what I had imagined, it
would really break my heart. I am no Adonis or
anything, but being a male, and a chauvinistic one at
that, I really cannot be blamed for wanting to meet a hot,
beautiful stranger.
I was there on time, having parked my butt on one of
the wooden benches overlooking the sea. As is usual
with Bandstand, lots of couples thronged the area,
seemingly having nothing else to do in life other than
groping each other. However, they provide free
wholesome entertainment to the sex-starved perverts and
despos thronging the area, so much so that if one had the
power to run the show on tickets, one could become a
millionaire in a single day. I kept on eyeing the beautiful
girls and their not-so beautiful boyfriends play a

wrestling match with their lips, when someone smacked
me hard on my head.
Pervert, stop ogling other girls! Dont you have a
girlfriend? A sweet yet irate female voice drawled from
my right. I turned towards the source, to find a girl in red
and green salwar kameez smiling hesitantly at me, not
sure whether she had hit the right guy. Damn! She was
gorgeous! And quite unattainable by my standards. I
mean, I wouldnt even try to hit on her by mistake, so
hot she was. All the tiredness which was in the process
of conquering my brain vanished instantly.
Hi! Kshitij, right? she asked. I wondered how she
had the guts to smack a guy on the head without even
confirming his identity.
No need to confirm, you are Ritika, right?
Err.yeah! She smiled awkwardly. Guess it would
be awkward seeing a guy for the first time after having
spent many an intimate session on the net. And I, like a
complete nerd, shook hands with her, whereas other
boys and girls around me were busy lip-wrestling!
Suddenly, shyness prevailed on both of us. Dont know

why, but we both became tongue tied, and neither I
could say anything to her nor could she. It seemed as if
we had spoken so much on the net that we did not know
what to say face to face. Anonymity seemed to have
made us extroverts, whereas familiarity made us
reclusive.
How are you? she asked, her gaze drifting
everywhere except towards me.
Fine, I guess, I said, my eyes totally focused on
her.
Two minutes of silence, as if someone had died -
maybe the conversation.
Then I jolted back to life. Care for a walk around?
She nodded.
We spent the next two hours walking along the sea
line, sitting at a nearby caf. We talked about our
studies, our pressures and our soul mates (actually, she
was more interested in the latter). However, she was
really very mystifying, in that although she did talk, she
was cautious and smart enough not to divulge many
personal details (other than, of course, her boyfriend,

about whom she could write an entire thesis). This
secrecy I thought was totally uncalled for. I mean, if she
didnt trust me, then why the hell did she agree to meet
me? I, on my part, didnt delve much into it, and played
along with her.

Prologue

Arranged marriage? my mom screamed as soon as I
uttered those words.
Arranged marriage? she repeated one more time as I
kept looking at her.
Arranged marriage? she screamed third time as I kept
nodding.
It reminded me of some sensational scene in one of those
soap operas where the breaking words are registered in
your mind with its shock waves doing rounds on
everybody around as random as laundryman, domestic
help, driver, right from their head to toe.
Yes mom, I am keen on an arranged marriage, I
repeated before she started walking towards me and the
focus shifted to her footsteps running at the rate of a few
millimeters per hour.
At that rate mom would end up like that poor last player
in the Cricket team facing the deadliest bowler, Ala, my
sister said with a blank face. Metaphor was Alas usual

form of speech. That is the only form which can do
justice to her advocate status; profession of rarest of
rare words, I thought.
My mom got apprehensive at the idea of finding a guy
suitable for me. Even I pitied her calculating the time
and energy she will have to put in now to find a guy for
me. Moreover she was not used to it as both of my
sisters had opted for love marriages. I wanted to add the
exception against my name which seemed to my family
what the idea of landing on the moon would have
seemed to the scientists for the first time. Worst part,
there was not even scope for the conspiracy theory.
As everyone was bracing up to this new announcement
by me, my dad was busy listening to All India Radio
news in the balcony. If AIR ever decided to give away
any award for brand loyalty, my dad would have broken
all the records and bagged this award. At times I wonder
whether it is his unrelenting love for AIR for last thirty
years or his unbreakable shield against his wifes NAG
TILL BRAINWASHED binge which has been followed
religiously by my pious mom. As I kept repeating my

decision, the discussion reached the crescendo. At last
my dad came into the hall holding his transistor radio
close to his ear. We all stared at him to help him
acknowledge our existence in the same house.
The longer she interacts with the guy the lesser chance
we have of getting her married. So arranged marriage
can only rescue us, he muttered and went into the
bedroom.
The patriarch of the family gave his verdict grabbing the
least footage. Again one more round of shock waves!
Exchanging of glancesechoes doing rounds from head
to toeenough fodder for next endless episodes to tom-
tom the great saga of my arranged marriage!


One
A love marriage is like reading the novel from the
middle, my cousin would say this to defend arranged
marriages.
I discovered the penchant for arranged marriages lately
as my friends kept telling me how interesting it can get
to find your value in the market and how you get to act
pricey as per the demand and supply forces in place.
You officially get to meet so many guys, my friend
once said to me.
I had my own logic about it. Adventure! Thrill! I wanted
to try the fun of an arranged marriage. Now it was the
time to decide how to go about it. I called my think
tank up and fixed up the meeting over dinner at
Bombay Blue restaurant in Milan Mall next Saturday.
It was Monday. There were still five more days to go for
the great meeting with my think tank! There was nothing
challenging to do in the office. As usual my boss had
gone out of India to sign some business deals and I was
asked to prepare a presentation which of course would
be presented only on Saturday. My team would hold

presentation sessions every Saturday to discuss the
events that took place in that week. Of course, the onus
of making the presentation always lay on me being the
only MBA in my team. I was the head of my team which
consisted of three colleagues each from Sales, IT and
Marketing departments. My team would report to my
immediate boss (COO of the company). The
presentation part would be attended by all. But the later
analysis part would be hijacked by my boss. Other
members of my team would be more than happy about
this fact as poor graduates were still in the sane human
hood phase of their life. I would envy them as my boss
would expect me to love this analysis session blindly,
madly and deeply, thanks to my MBA degree from one
of the pompous institutes! To make it even more life
threatening experience for me, my boss with his
extraordinary analytical skills would always do too
much of reading between the lines and make my
presentation Eureka moments of his life. Soon I started
feeling like a bowler who would be hit back with sixes
on every no ball he delivered.

I remember, once my boss had asked me to prepare some
presentation. In the meantime he had disappeared abroad
to sign some foreign deals. The presentation was about
some analysis as to why there was so much gap between
demand and supply for our products which meant a loss
of potential revenue for the company. I had recently
joined. So I did exactly what I was asked to do without
any wise omission of duties. I consulted all the
concerned people in the planning, production
departments at the factory, and also the sales team at our
Mumbai office. On thorough discussions and analysis
the presentation was made direct enough to demand
immediate action on the old, defunct machines which
were just adding to the dead investment and overheads.
The only solution was to sell it off and replace it with the
latest machines to boost the output so that we could
catch up with the demand. It was a tradition of our
typical small company to turn a blind eye to any
suggestion which advocated upright spending. The word
efficiency here meant the ability to squeeze as much as
possible out of the status quo, be it any means of

production; land, labour, capital or enterprise. It took me
three months to discover this reality of my company.
When my boss returned, he first got rid of his backlog.
After a couple of days he asked me to show my
presentation. I threw all my energy into apprising him
about my findings and the proposed action plan. I waited
after I finished, holding my breath and expecting his
appreciation for the efforts put in to arrive at these
findings. It was only my second month in the corporate
world; so I was still in the fools paradise.
Fresh MBAs blood was boiling when my boss finally
began to speak, Good! Meghna, you have put forth a
few valuable findings which will save our company a lot
of money. If there are so many non-operative machines,
we should downsize immediately. I think we are simply
spending on idle labour. I will take care of it and do the
needful at the earliest. I will speak to our MD and get the
necessary changes done before we incur more wasteful
expenditure.
My boss acted on his words so quickly that soon I
became a political hot potato in the organization. Since

then I had taken care not to apply much brains to any
analysis. Also because it was not possible anymore to
extract any reliable information from anybody as I had
received a status of devils advocate without even
striving for it.
Finally Saturday arrived. Everybody was in a Saturday
mood; clad in jeans, ordering outside food and needless
to mention, planning a movie in the evening. I was not
going to accompany them for a change.
My team assembled for the great presentation session in
the conference room. Today I just went into a switch
off mode soon after I finished giving the presentation as
thoughts about meeting my think tank were doing
rounds in my head. My boss processed my presentation
and mailed me his final output. He also mailed further
tasks which were sufficient to keep me hooked to my
seat till seven oclock. He then went into conference
room where all the directors and my boss would gather
for lunch every day. He left soon after lunch.
It was two oclock. My boss would leave at two oclock
every Saturday.

I had asked him once, Sir, as I work extra hours every
day, can I also leave at one oclock on Saturdays?
Meghna, as you know office hours for the company
remain same for Saturdays just like other days. Only I
have been granted the special permission to leave early
on Saturdays as I have always worked with MNCs
rendering me addicted to two weekly off culture. But if
we both are not around after two oclock, it might
hamper the companys work. So I want you to stay in the
office just as my proxy so that nobody really pinpoints at
our department for not conforming to the companys
rules. Dont worry. I am trying to get new rules in place
to make Saturdays off officially very soon, he said with
usual artificial smile on his face.
As he would use the words very soon I would get the
message loud and clear that it would never happen. Very
soon I gave up on my wish to see Saturdays off in our
company. It was 6 oclock and I was still stuck with
some stupid projections which my boss had asked me to
do as a result of some insightful extrapolation of my
presentation. That excel sheet seemed like a maze to me.

At one end it was me, stranded and marooned at this
crappy place and at the other end it was Bombay Blue,
calling me to add some spice to my life. My eyes were
searching for the shortest and surest route to lift and drop
me at some fragrant table in the vibrant company of
sizzlers, pasta and brownie.
God, please send some virus in my system so that this
whole thing disappears from my life and I get to run
away from this placeat least by 7 oclockat least
today, I said to myself.
Yeah; God did send a virus. But not in my system;
rather in my brain and I finished the projections, fancy
enough to inspire one more Eureka moment in my bosss
life.
Finally I shut down my laptop and packed everything. I
went into the washroom to freshen up.
Hey Meghna, you are coming with us for a movie,
right? asked my HR friend who was a permanent
faculty of the washroom. That was one more avenue for
her to kill time in the office.

Sorry, I cant make it this time as I have some other
commitment I replied.
Hey, whats the matter? Seeing someone? she said,
giggling.
Why these HR people get so much into their roles; they
want to stalk you everywhere, into your personal life as
well, I thought.
No, just preparing for it, I said and left the office.
It was seven thirty and I was supposed to reach Bombay
Blue by eight. I had always maintained my record of not
reaching on time, always putting the blame on the never
sleeping traffic of Mumbai. But this time I wanted to
reach on time as I was the host of this dinner. By the
time I reached there it was eight thirty. It was almost in
my blood to screw things up. They all had reached the
place before me. A gang of four; Alok, Rahul, Karan and
Meenami! Everybody in my gang was such a character
that I was sure if I heard their thoughts about marriage I
would be prepared to judge any species on earth which
was an inevitable part of the arranged marriage process.
I waved at them as soon as I got down from the auto.

Nobody waved or smiled back. It was a gesture to
convey the message to me, We are only interested in the
food. So please get down at the negotiating table at a
gallop.
We got in and settled at some isolated table in the corner
to avoid previous embarrassing complaints by the hotel
managers to keep our noise levels under control. First we
decided to order and then start this simply marry
session.
What would you like to have, maam? the waiter
asked.
Water, I said almost as a reflex. After cooling our
mouths we ordered sizzlers, pasta and sizzling brownies.
Then I invited them to express their ideas about arranged
marriage.
People, I have decided to get married I said, excited.
Why not; recession is the best time to get married! But
you will need somebody to get married to, right? said
Rahul, mockingly.
Unfortunately I will have to find someone to get
married to as we are still not into robot marriages. Also

my parents have had enough of inter-caste marriages in
family. I am not in a mood to pioneer inter-species
marriages. On a serious note, guys, I am up for an
arranged marriage, I said. Thats the reason I have
called you all here to discuss my questionnaire, I
continued.
Questionnaire? was the chorus.
Yes, of course. I have prepared a few questions which I
want to ask the candidates I happen to meet in the
process. As I am new to this process I want you to help
me as to how I should put forth these questions to the
guys as diplomatically as possible, I said and paused to
check out their reactions.
I dont understand why you girls are always fond of
making simple things complicated. We guys dont
expect anything from you girls let alone brains. Rather,
the little the better! The fact that you are fully
operational girls is more than enough for us. See, guys
dont like questions. They understand only real things;
your face and your other assets. In short, you are already
in a pathetic position; now why do you want to make it

look like an awfully lost match by asking stupid
questions? Neither your attack is strong, nor your
defense, said Karan who was receiving nods from other
three jury members.
Karan, I think you are not aware of the fact that I am
going to foot the bill today so that you guys contribute to
this session fruitfully, I said assuming that at least now
it will bring the scattered cattle to the house. So what I
was saying was I intend to ask a few questions to the
guys. Of course, it will happen only after a couple of
conversations when we both, I and the guy get
comfortable with each other, I continued looking at
Karan who was now engrossed scanning through the
menu card, putting his finger on the right side column of
the menu card to pick up the most coveted dish at a
gallop.
My mistake, I whispered to myself.
So you mean to say that you will first buy the chewing
gum, chew it for a while then make a balloon out of it
and the moment it reaches its peak you will pinch it,
right? said Alok, frowning.

Well, my first question would be, are you a virgin? I
said, ignoring Aloks comment.
What crap? again a chorus.
See, you have already made your life so miserable by
deciding to get married. Now why the hell do you want
to make it even more difficult by asking such a question?
Please get some life, Alok said.
What do you mean by that? I am still a virgin, I said,
aggressive.
Thats a different story. You dont have a choice! said
Rahul.
Shut up! See, I am not particularly concerned about
what the guy answers if I like him in the first place. It is
just for my personal satisfaction, I said.
Sorry? Personal satisfaction? Then you would rather
expect him to be a non-virgin! said Alok and they all
burst into laughter.
You are impossible, guys. Cut the crap! I said, losing
my patience.

I think the most apt way of begining this book
is by telling you why it is nameu P.I.u.S. I
iemembei the time when my paients weie
peisuauing my biothei to stay on in Inuia anu not
go to the 0SA foi his Nasteis. Ny uau tiieu eveiy
tiick in the book, but I thought the most
outiageous one was when he saiu, "Bo you know
what they call Inuian giauuate stuuents in the 0S.
They call them P.I.u.S., Pooi Inuian uiauuate
Stuuents." At the time, I coulun't stop laughing. I
mean you aie talking about a countiy that has
nevei uisciiminateu baseu on iace, ieligion, oi
coloi. A countiy wheie ueoige Bush }i. was
piesiuent foi 8 long yeais, wheie the winnei of a
championship game between any two Ameiican
teams is calleu "Woilu Champions", wheie the
giounu flooi is calleu the fiist flooi though it is at
giounu level. They aie the most noimal people
aiounu; at least that is what I thought.!
Insteau of staiting off stiaight with my
giauuate life, I woulu like to uelve a bit into my
past so that you know why I am the uouchebag that
I am now. Ny name is Anish Sauananuan. I uiu my

B.E. in Piouuction Engineeiing fiom Numbai
0niveisity, anu just giauuateu with an N.S. in
Engineeiing Nanagement. The moie intiicate
uetails you will leain uuiing the couise of this
book. Now, to tell you a bit about my wonueiful
life.....
+,-!.&#'-%!/-0%1!
Theie aie a lot of things I have my paients to thank
foi. To begin with, I am thankful that though being
fiom South Inuia, Keiala to be piecise, they
ueciueu to move to Numbai anu iaise my biothei
Ashish anu me theie. Bon't get me wiong. I am
veiy piouu to be a Keialite, but if I weie to have
been boin anu iaiseu theie, I woulu now have a
mustache (consiueieu sexy uown theie), a nice big
iounueu belly (appaiently the moie the suiface
aiea the bettei), anu a siue paiting haiistyle with
enough oil on it to cook foou foi the entiie vatican
City. Buiing my unueigiauuate yeais, I actually put
on a lot of weight anu was aiounu 1uu kgs, anu
uuiing this healthiest point of my life, we visiteu
my ielatives in Keiala. 0nuoubteuly, I was the
hottest piopeity uown south aftei gaining that
much weight. Ny aunts saiu I hau nevei lookeu

bettei, anu that I woulu get the most beautiful giils
theie foi maiiiage. Though that thought maue me
think twice befoie sheuuing some kilos, I uiu
manage to lose aiounu 2u kgs befoie oui next tiip
to uou's 0wn Countiy the following yeai, but this
time aiounu I was uestineu to only get pioposals
fiom the bottom of the pile. Bealth is wealth takes
a back seat heie to the heaviei the sexiei eviuently.
Anothei thing I shoulu thank my paients foi
is putting me in an English meuium school. Inuia
has about 29 spoken languages, with each language
being the meuium of instiuction in schools. In
Numbai, Binui, Naiathi, uujaiati anu English
meuium schools aie the foieiunneis, anu an
English meuium school was what my folks thought
woulu be the best foi us. I peisonally believe it was
a goou uecision because touay I am able to
conveise well with people fiom uiffeient countiies
in English without any hassle apait fiom the
accent, which can be tough to unueistanu at times.
B0T in the enu my paients aie human too, anu to
eii is human anu to foigive is uivine. Bowevei, I
will nevei foigive them foi putting me in a Sikh
school. See, once upon a time, a veiy impoitant
peison to the Sikhs was kiunappeu. To iescue him,

the Sikhs maue a plan to attack at miunight. At the
stioke of miunight, they yelleu out "!"#$% &"% '()*#+%
&*,%&-(%*.*#/ anu iescueu theii leauei by absolutely
uemolishing the kiunappeis*. Bowevei, fiom that
uay onwaius, people believeu that Sikhs
completely lose it at miunight. 0vei the yeais, this
time changeu fiom 12am to 12pm, I suppose
because kius coulun't tease othei kius at miunight,
they thought noon woulu be a bettei option. Also,
going to uuiu Baikiishan Bigh School meant that
eveiy stuuent of that school went bonkeis at noon,
not just the Sikh stuuents, eveiyone! So you can
imagine the amount of iiuicule I hau to face fiom
fiienus outsiue of school.
In Inuia, as eveiyone knows, aiiangeu maiiiage
within castes is a piominent iitual. So all these
little Sikh kius iunning aiounu with theii small
tuibans knew they weie going to get some hot
women as wives. As a iesult of this knowleuge, if
any kiu fiom a uiffeient caste woulu tiy to fliit
with any of these goigeous women, these little
tuiban weaiing punks woulu give them a smug
smile which pietty much saiu, "Tiy all you want
but in the enu one of us is going to tap that". It was
like keep a box full of canuy in fiont of a chilu, anu

then telling him it was foibiuuen. This maue us
non-Sikhs ieally aggiavateu anu we uiu what we
coulu uo best, make moie fun of those pompous
piicks.
Like eveiy othei school, we hau nicknames foi
most of the teacheis as well. Binui teachei who
slept thiough most of the class was sleeping
beauty, science teachei who hau a tenuency to let
one iip once in a while was gas cylinuei, anothei
Binui teachei who kinu of iesembleu a bulluog,
well she was bulluog of couise, teachei nameu Ni.
Be uama was vasco Be uama, anu so on anu so
foith. We hau some weiiu teacheis too. Apait fiom
sleeping beauty anu gas cylinuei, we hau a
geogiaphy teachei who woulu call eveiy guy
"poppy" foi some ieason. I uon't know what
exactly it meant, maybe we knew we woulu be
smoking some ueiivatives of poppy seeus some
time in oui lives, oi maybe he just loveu poppy
seeus so much that he calleu all the kius in his class
poppy. Now that I think about it, he ieminus me a
lot of Ni. uaiiison fiom South Paik. This teachei
even useu to iun his hanus on the backs of his
favoiite male stuuents in a ciiculai motion. Now I
know what you must be thinking, Ni. uaiiison,

iunning hanus on the back of young boys, I useu to
think on those lines too but can you imagine my
suipiise when he got maiiieu. It was uefinitely a
big shockei. In the enu, I guess he was just a veiy
fiienuly teachei who lookeu aftei his best stuuents.
I am suie a lot of you might be feeling
uisappointeu iight now, consiueiing that the
geogiaphy teachei uiun't tuin out to be a peiveit,
anu it is always fun to ieau about one. Well I
woulun't want to uisappoint you. I have some
peisonal expeiiences on those fionts too. I playeu
fielu hockey as a goalkeepei, a veiy bau goalie at
that. I ieally uon't even want to stait on the
maigins with which we lost most of oui games.
0ne uay when I was changing, the coach comes
into the ioom, anu suuuenly tells me to weai an
abuomen guaiu (a cup) to piotect my "goous". This
seems like a noimal thing of couise but he was
holuing my ciotch the whole time while saying
this! If theie aie any shiinks ieauing this, they
might tiy to analyze my chaiactei baseu on this,
but you can be iest assuieu that this uiu not affect
me in anyway. I was always able to joke about it,
anu I still can. Coming back to the peiveit, he uiu
this a couple of times anu I was a bit moie taken

aback the seconu time. As a 6
th
giauei who wants
to be in the team, you woulun't say no to the coach
but I spoke to a couple of teammates anu he hau
uone this to them too. Aftei he tiieu this tiick on
one of the 9
th
giaueis in the team, the stuuent
wiote a lettei to the piincipal explaining what the
coach has been up to with much exaggeiateu
statements like, "Be uses socks as conuoms". I
uiun't unueistanu how a sock woulu woik as a
conuom anyway. But the lettei woikeu, anu the
fieak was fiieu. Suipiisingly no legal action was
taken. All the hockey playeis hau ieason to believe
he went all the way with one of the playeis, a veiy
cute Sikh boy. Buiing one of the piactice sessions,
this playei maue a lot of mistakes anu so the coach
sent him into the school to the top flooi, anu then
in some time enueu the piactice eaily anu sent us
all home, while the boy was upstaiis anu the coach
went up to join him. The next uay the Sikh kiu
wasn't walking piopeily. Bmmm, I wonuei why.
I think all the teacheis contiibuteu to me
having a fun-filleu school expeiience. If it weien't
the slapping inciuent, it woulu be one teachei
ciying because some othei teachei saiu something
to himhei. 0i, it woulu be one teachei bitching to

all the stuuents about how she shoulu be given the
iesponsibility of managing all the class monitois
anu piefects, anu not the new teachei in school. All
in all, school life was filleu with uiama, just like a
Bollywoou movie, the veiy stuff that inspiies eveiy
Inuian. Wheie woulu we Inuians be without
Bollywoou.
Consiueiing my qualifications now, you might
think that I was one of the neius in school, with
glasses anu biaces, not ieally into spoits anu coulu
not speak to giils if my life uepenuent on it. Au
contiaiie, I was anything but all of those things. I
was into eveiy spoit possible. I iepiesenteu the
school in football, ciicket (I am Inuian, I have to
play ciicket), basketball, volleyball, hanuball, table
tennis, bauminton, fielu hockey anu athletics. Ny
paients weie ieally piouu of my spoiting
achievements, consiueiing my biothei was
eveiything I uesciibeu eailiei; summing him up in
school in one woiu, geek. I
was known well amongst teacheis anu stuuents
because of spoits, howevei, it only got me
attention fiom the not-so-goou looking female
ciowu anu I think this hau a lot to uo with me

having no iuea of how to caiiy myself with some
swaggei, oi caiiy myself at all foi that mattei. Am I
glau that changeu ovei time.
"Bow will you leain to iise up without
falling.", "Failuie is only a step towaius success". I
am suie all of us aie familiai with these woius of
wisuom, but we the piouu athletes of uuiu
Baikiishan Bigh School heaiu this aftei eveiy
game. We suckeu in eveiy spoit. We might enu up
with one victoiy in a season, which woulu be
causeu by the othei team not showing up, oi some
othei miiacle, but if we evei got a victoiy on the
sheets, it woulu spaik wilu celebiations.
Aftei all, we only got to uo that once oi twice a
yeai. 0ut of all the teams, I woulu have to say the
football team was the funniest. Though I hau goou
skills with the ball (I am a goou football playei
now, foi the iecoiu), the coach ueciueu to make me
goalie because I was one of the tallest kius in the
team. I uiun't object as I just loveu the spoit anu
wanteu to be a pait of the team. As if that wasn't
bau enough, he ueciueu to make some Sikh boys
uefenueis. Why woulu you make kius with tuibans
uefenueis. In each game we hau one of them heau

the ball, only to have theii tuiban iemoveu, anu so
they woulu have to go to the siuelines to tie back
the small little thing which took at least 1S-2u
minutes, meaning we woulu be uown by a man foi
that time. Buiing one of the games, a wingei fiom
the othei team ian uown oui left flank anu ciosseu
the ball. 0ne of oui biave Sikh uefenueis jumpeu
up into the aii anu caught the ball with his hanus.
Yes, he caught the ball*. 0f couise the othei team
got a penalty, which I was unable to save. I
woulun't want to put all the blame on my
uefenueis though. I was most ceitainly one of the
woist goalies the spoit hau evei seen.
I uistinctly iemembei one paiticulai game against
St. Fiancis B'Assisi, one of the best football schools
in the city. It was a iainy uay, anu theie was muck
all ovei the giounu, incluuing the penalty aiea.
Consiueiing that they weie one of the best teams
anu we weie the woist, it wasn't suipiising when
they took, if my memoiy seives me iight, an 8-u
leau at half time. They continueu scoiing in the
seconu half as well, with even theii goalkeepei
substituting as an outfielu playei to giab a biace
himself. In a fielu wheie theie was haiuly a uiy
spot, incluuing the penalty box, anu with so many

balls coveieu with muu flying past me into the net,
my jeisey was spotless, clean as a whistle. Foi one
of the goals, the ball went past me at a uistance at
which a small uive woulu have been sufficient to
make the save but I chose not to. 0ne of the
uefenueis askeu me why I uiun't uive foi that ball,
anu I believe my exact woius weie, "I might get
huit if I uive". The final scoie of the game was 17-u.
Aftei these outstanuing peifoimances, the coach
was ieplaceu, anu the new guy was the athletics
coach, Ni. uhouke, who uiun't even know the iules
of football. I convinceu him I was an outfielu
playei anu a guy nameu Faiiu was maue oui
goalie. I can go on foi a veiy long time about the
failuies of the uiffeient teams I playeu foi in
school, like when we went to play oui fiist evei
basketball game, anu we lost the game with the
final scoie being 4-2. No theie is no typo theie;
they scoieu two baskets, while we hau one. I ieally
hope that the school's spoits piogiam has come a
long way since I giauuateu.
Eveiy school has one oi two nice giils, nice
because they sleep aiounu with most of the guys. I
woulun't want to call them sluts anu insult them,
aftei all a lot of us gaineu invaluable expeiience

fiom these piomiscuous women. 0ui school
wanteu to one up eveiy othei school in each anu
eveiy uepaitment. So even in this iegaiu, insteau
of having a couple of "nice" giils, we hau at least
one in each batch. 0ui batch hau thiee, out of
which two weie sisteis. 0f couise, though being a
bit easy, they weie picky too. They woulun't let the
biggest loseis (well all of us weie loseis) touch
them. Bau to be someone smait oi someone goou
looking. Though I was smait, I somehow nevei hau
the couiage to go up to one of them, anu I guess I
thought it was wiong to an extent. But theie was
this one moment that changeu my take on this
issue. Theie was a guy calleu Saj, a goou-looking
kiu, who was actually a senioi but hau faileu anu
hau to iepeat a yeai. 0ne uay, he was sitting behinu
one of the sisteis in one class, anu I was sitting in
the aujacent iow, in the same line of benches as
them. In the miuule of the lectuie, I coulu heai
giggles fiom behinu me, anu a fiienu sitting behinu
taps me on shouluei anu asks to look at Saj. The
guy was listening to the lectuie with both his hanus
giasping the giil's fiontal attiactions fiom behinu.
Being one of the goou stuuents in the class, the fiist
thing I thought of was, "Bow in the woilu is he

concentiating on the lectuie in that position." 0f
couise, I iealizeu that focusing on the lectuie was
the least of his woiiies, anu he was having a much
bettei time than I evei uiu. That was the uay I
ueciueu to take a stanu on this issue, anu make
suie eveiy guy has the iight to enjoy lectuies like
that. A few uays aftei that, I walkeu up to the othei
sistei aftei school anu tolu hei I wanteu to talk to
hei. We walkeu a bit, tiying to get away fiom
civilization as I knew it, anu then I just tuineu anu
kisseu hei, anu she uiun't pull away eithei. This
was my fiist evei kiss, anu man uiu it feel goou*. 0f
couise, I hau a bonei fiom that moment, sometime
in the afteinoon, till I went to sleep at night. Eveiy
evening I went outsiue to play with fiienus, anu
that uay I ueciueu to weai a cup, just in case. Theie
weie many similai moments to follow aftei that
but that was uefinitely the most memoiable one.
Being involveu in so many spoits, anu being
one of the toppeis in school, it was a suipiise to a
lot of people that I woulu get sent to the piincipal's
office quite often. I was even sent to the piincipal's
office once foi calling a paiticulai teachei a "mofo",
anu someone iatteu me out. The teachei was
stanuing next to me in the piincipal's office anu

ciying. Can you imagine the feeling I got as a 121S
yi olu to have maue a teachei ciy. It was the
piouuest moment of my school uays.
At that age, kius aie always veiy impiessionable
anu finu the smallest of things veiy cool. 0ne uay,
my biothei took a shaipie (sketch pen) anu put it
at the centei of the ceiling fan anu slowly moveu it
to the peiipheiy of the fan, making beautiful
concentiic ciicles in the piocess which lookeu
stunning when the fan was iotating. This ieally
inspiieu me to uo this in class. The next uay I went
to school with just one thing in minu. As soon as
the fiist class got ovei, I uecoiateu the fan as
planneu. The othei kius lookeu at it with
astonishment, it was beautiful. I iealizeu that I
woulu get into tiouble if I let it iemain, so I took a
wet cloth anu eiaseu the aitwoik. Bowevei, kius
weie a bit moie impiesseu than I anticipateu. 0nce
the next class got ovei, they ueciueu to uo the
same, but with ballpoint pens this time, which is of
couise next to impossible to eiase fiom most
suifaces. The teachei came in anu saw the fans anu
askeu who is iesponsible foi it, anu of couise, like
the goou fiienus they weie, eveiyone pointeu
towaius me. I was askeu to sit outsiue the

classioom foi thiee uays unless my paients paiu
Rs.2uu pei fan to iestoie them. Ny uau just sent a
lettei to the piinciple saying, "We pay a lot of fees
to the school anyway. I'm suie my son will enjoy
the time outsiue class". Ny fathei knew me veiy
well I suppose because I uefinitely enjoyeu my
thiee uays out of class.
In Inuia, not many folks have a sex talk with
theii kius. As a mattei of fact, I peisonally uon't
know a single chilu who ieceiveu sex euucation of
any soit fiom theii paients. The closest to that
woulu be the paients giving a book to theii
chiluien. Some schools woulu have a sex euucation
lectuie wheie the teachei woulu come in anu ask if
the stuuents hau any question, wait foi a iesponse
which usually nevei came because the stuuents
woulu be too shy to ask anything, anu then woulu
say goou anu continue with histoiy oi geogiaphy.
This lack of knowleuge leu to a lot of
misconceptions anu myths, like if the giil uoesn't
bleeu the fiist time she has sex she is not a viigin,
oi if the giil blows into youi penis while giving you
a heau, you coulu uie, oi my peisonal favoiite
which was tolu to me by a fiienu that aftei sex you
have to leave the penis insiue the vagina foi a goou

few houis foi eveiy uiop of speim to fall in. This
guy eithei hau a lot of speim oi just wanteu to
make suie he got eveiy giil he evei slept with
piegnant. Ni. Bias wanteu to change this tiauition.
Be wanteu to make suie eveiy stuuent passing out
of uBK Bigh School knew about sex.




arL 1 8eLlremenL
1he Lhunderous applause had dled down. 1he
words of eulogy were done wlLh. l was offlclally

My sLudenLs had organlzed a gala funcLlon Lo

As l made my way back home, l knew LhaL,
afLer nearly 30 years, Lhls road was now a one
way. Come Lomorrow mornlng, l would no

mlxed emoLlons. As my scooLer snaked Lhrough
Lhe Lrafflc and Lhe poLholes of my small Lown, l
looked around and saw LhaL Lhere was so much
Lo see ln Lhls place, LhaL l had noL yeL made

Lhls clLy my own, l had never really gone

Llme. My reLlremenL would open up a vasL
chasm of free Llme, whlch l would need Lo flll. l

whaL my clLy had Lo offer, check ouL Lhe

would read Lhe newspapers end Lo end every

spend more Llme wlLh my famlly.
My famlly conslsLed of my wlfe, Lo whom l had
been marrled for 33 years. 1hen, ln order of
arrlval, was my son !aLln, who had become an
englneer and worked for one of Lhe
MulLlnaLlonal corporaLlons ln Mumbal. 1hen
my daughLer, ulpLl, who recenLly goL marrled
and moved ouL of our house, causlng me
conslderable hearLache. 1he Lhlrd was my

of Lhe pasL. Sunll was now 18 years old.

!aLln had added Lo my famlly. Pe had goLLen
marrled, and had Lwo beauLlful llLLle daughLers.
ulpLl was golng Lo be a moLher soon.
LveryLhlng looked good.
As l LhoughL abouL Sunll, my eyebrows

Pls moLher Lrled Lalklng Lo hlm, so dld hls

l arrlved home and parked Lhe scooLer. Well,

arL 3 1he PunL beglns

1he clock sLruck 8. 8 pm. Sunll had sLlll noL
reLurned home. 1he CcLober sky was now dark
and all Lhe munlclpallLy Lube-llghLs had come
on. My wlfe walLed ouLslde on Lhe paLlo, her
eyes sLralnlng Lo look Lhrough Lhe darkness. l
was beglnnlng Lo worry. We had called hls

of boys who Sunll usually assoclaLed wlLh. l had
drlven around and checked ouL a small eaLlng-

we were dolng someLhlng. 1hey seemed more

Lrylng Lo glve us some message," sald ulpLl,
maybe apa, you need Lo be a llLLle less harsh

on hlm. lf he's noL dolng well ln school, maybe
we should encourage hlm Lo pursue some
oLher career opLlons, lnsLead of maklng hlm

was all l needed aL Lhe momenL. LecLures on
how Lo be a good faLher. 1haL Loo from
someone who l helped Lo rear.
1he nexL day came up and passed slowly. Sunll
dld noL appear. My wlfe was now ln Lears. lL
was evenlng. Sunll had now been mlsslng
almosL 2 days. Co Lo Lhe pollce sLaLlon,

suddenly. l allowed hope a sLrong chance LhaL
nlghL.
1he dlslnLeresLed pollceman sprawled on a
creaklng wooden chalr near Lhe enLry. WhaL
do you wanL?" he asked coarsely. My son ls
mlsslng, l need Lo flle a mlsslng person's

walked over Lo Lhe desk.
1he pollceman behlnd Lhe desk was

WhaL glrl?" l asked, Laken aback. Ch, Lhe glrl

LssenLlally we should noL [usL saLlsfy ourselves wlLh

lL prudenLly and wlsely Lo reap opLlmum beneflLs,

1he famous 8oman sLolc phllosopher Seneca wroLe

Lven lf we had 1000 years Lo llve, our llfe would
sLlll shrlnk lnLo Lhe shorLesL span because our 'vlce'
of wasLlng our Llme and allowlng oLhers Lo Lrespass
on lL, would swallow up any amounL of Llme LhaL ls

on hls own needs, who plans ouL hls every day as lf

"Why do you delay? Why do you slL ldle?"
quesLlons Lhe phllosopher and adds, "unless you

sLlll wlll flee, Lherefore you musL vle wlLh Lhe Llme
ln Lhe speed of uslng lL and, as from a LorrenL LhaL
