an ode to Bannerbhai

So here i am writing a blog that is supposed to compete against a blog written by a person who has a highly CAT/GRE (take ur pick)flavoured vocabulary ,who is a self
confessed liquor lover/give up/no enthu person ,who goes by the name of Bannerbhai
in the highly elite circles of IIT Madras,and who happens to be a good friend of mine.

So battle lines are drawn,arms and ammunition ready,strategies made,ploys
played,heads scratched,grey cells exploited…..

So we are in the middle of a conversation ,in the middle of the night and in the middle of
nowhere he comes up with his idea of the century(an understatement).We refers to
Sourav,Neha and me and he refers to Sourav(who else..i gave up thinking long
ago).And the idea is to have a blog writing competition for which we need to have a
common topic.

So Neha who happens to be my cousin is going to be the judge and all three of us were
classmates at some point in our lives . She after finishing her “Sahana Mukherjee
Classes for l-v–s in Distress”(i being her not so able pupil)decides upon the topic and
throws it at us…….

So i put my pen to paper (read fingers to keyboard)and sluggishly key in the crap above
.I am thinking over the topic ,and i think and i think and watch the minutes ticking away.

So I am thinking and suddenly i feel enlightened ,no bodhi trees , no full moon(or was it
the new moon).I feel like Buddha.The truth dawns upon me , sense seeps into my
psyche ,my synapses get activated.

So what the hell am i doing at this unearthly hour ,when i should rather be wrapped
away in bed getting ready for a new day ,getting ready for the slog that is customary
before the storm called the”end semester examinations”. I ,of all things in the world am
writing a blog and that too a blog thats going to compete against
Bannerbhai’s.Someone yells at me “If this is not craziness what is!!!!!” .

“U are crazy enough to write a blog and crazier too to put it in competition with
Bannerbhai’s Blog”
I smile that crooked smile to myself ,switch off my pc and go to sleep.

PS:14TH nov is Bhai phota and to those who know what it means and have gone through the blog properly i do have a card up my sleeve.Whadya say judge???”

ALLS FAIR IN LOVE ,WAR AND BLOGGING.
