Let me start with the following lines that i once read somewhere:
ON SOME OCCASIONS BEER IS DRUNK
ON SOME OCCASIONS VODKA IS DRUNK
ON SOME OCCASIONS WHISKEY IS DRUNK
ON SOME OCCASIONS RUM IS DRUNK
BUT WHAT IS DRUNK ON EVERY OCCASION???
ITS "YOU"
Throughout my experiences with drunkards in these golden yrs in NITD ,drinking can be classified into three levels. the capacity to consume alcohol and remain stable increases with the increase in level.
LEVEL I - At this level, ppl talk abt their studies,parents, how they ruin their studies, their career , blah blah.
LEVEL II - At this level, ppl talk abt their gf/bf,crushes,incidents and accidents in their life and some sort of other things
LEVEL III- At this level, ppl will drink to their capacities, get OUT and start crying. they will consume more alcohol and cry even more.
I dont knw abt any level IV becoz if it is there, it will a uncontrolable situation.
WHAT DO PEOPLE USUALLY DO WHEN THEY GET DRUNK?
vomit - ppl will vomit after they r drunk.they will drink again after they become somewht stable.
sleep- I ve seen ppl sleeping in Oval, Lords, Hostel Roofs, Jhoops, under trees until they r out of their hangovers.
reveal secrets-dil ki baatein bahar nikal aati hain.but some ppl still manage to keep their secrets
cry/get emotional- as i said b4 , level III is characterised by this action.
call their distant friends,girlfriend/boyfriends - ppl will call , whether they call from their own phones or phones of others
pakate hain, chaat-te hain , listen to hard rock or sad songs- what abt ppl saying "Bharat mata ki jai", "mujhe desh ke liye kuchh karna hai",saying tongue twisters, making u love guru.. phew the list is endless
speak in english- ppl will speak in english and try to learn all the vocab in an instant.
do weird actions-ppl will dance in silly manner,remove their clothes,curse the college,profs,ppl who ve dumped them
get violent-breaking window panes with their hands,throwing stones, hitting ppl actually.some will go to the common room and punch the TV screen .
Run a few miles- this was the most surprising reaction ever observed of a drunkard.
One more thing they will say every time ,i.e. "Main OUT nahi hoon".
Whatever I ve written above was not to hurt anybody's sentiments. whether is drinking is good or bad i cant say and nor i would like to comment upon.
But what will always remain in hearts of ppl of NIT-D is emptying of uncountable bottles and crates and all the memories associated with every occasion of drinking.
Not to forget the drinking sessions at SAM,SUPER,SURAVI,DH,CR,PI,LUXOR,DHABA,HOSTEL ROOFS,LORDS,OVAL,JUNGLE,JHOOPS,FESTS ,FESTIVALS,FRESHERS AND FAREWELLS and all those which i ve missed.
DEDICATED TO ALL THE DRUNKARDS OF NITD.....................CHEERS!!!!!
KEEP ROCKING ...

Hi Eashan,
ReplyDeleteA nice collection of emotions and facts of life in NITDGP. How come you forget to add that level in which people come to your room at 3:30am , fully drunk (with one beer in hand) and waking you up and saying "Dost dil se izzat karta hu tere ..dost i really love you , Ye nahi ki mein ne daaru pii rakhi hai iss liye bol raha hu but really tu mera sacha dost hai , i really respect you ." This is most common dialogue i have heard after each party (Chahe woh fresher party ho yaa farewell yaa phir lohri).
Also over what you wrote , long time back i read this stroy .You will find the truth in the story once you leave NITDGP. Life in college is awesome , Its as free as a bird, its as cheap a toilet paper and its as kool as nothing .Here i go with the story :
-------------------
She was drunk and she was drunk badly. He was out there cursing his fate and his old car which broke down thrice on his way back home.There he stood and here she was dancing unknown to any fear. He just glanced at her and said loudly,"Bitch".The girl came near his car with stumbling steps and showed him the middle finger and started laughing.He smiled at her gesture, saying nothing, may be he smiled at his own fate.He wished to be like the girl for once in his life, fearless and unconscious. He wished to be unknown to everything he knew. He never drank in his life, but that day he thought of drinking. He asked the girl to come near him and asked her about the stuff.
The girl started laughing and said,"Its not that I am drunk, its you and people like you who are drunk.You mask yourselves, you hide yourself from your fucking self. You think riding a big car and calling everyone creep, walking on the street, will help you. No this will never help you."
The guy stood their flabbergasted. He could not make any head or tail of the words spoken to him. The girl however continued,"Its not about the people you are worried. Its about your own coward self you are worried, because you were never alive, never were you conscious. You were born dead and you are just carrying your dead soul over your shoulders."
The girl started laughing badly and moved away.The guy found himself standing all alone in the street and cursing his fate one more time.He just wondered whether the girl was drunk or was she the only conscious being he had ever seen in his life.
