Tour Report-III (Decaying society)

Later that night we reached some stations and a couple of boys got in. Very dirty and we were afraid of them being thiefs. Then one of them got into the bathroom and locked up.
Second Boy: Woh beedi pee raha he!
The boy came out of the toilet after a while and we continued our vigilant watch. Then they took off their shirts and started sucking on it with some thing balled up.
Then Nitin came along, our Hindi Bhai, and queried the boys with his characteristic charm.
Nitin: Kya bhoonk raha he?
Boys: Nashaaa!
Nitin: Kya Nasha?
After a while the boys opened up and spoke about them.
They were Bhuvan and Nagraj. They were 10 years old and sweepers in Baroda Station and was hitching a ride. First we thoughtthey were taking some drugs. But they showed the bottle. It was a whitener cleaner! Very poisonous stuff. They poured it into their shirts and started to suck it up. They had got some curd from some passenger and was eating it in a nauseating manner. Curd relieves kick and the boys lost the kick and they doped themselves again. They told they would get off at baroda station. We held our watch though and after a while both fell asleep in a high and had to kick them awake when Baroda came. They were barely able to stand by then. I entered the bathroom to check and found the smell was not of tobacco but some other shit. The kids were into dope so early in their life!
Shame on the pushers who give them drugs, the shops sell them the remover perfectly knowing how these guys are going to use it. The kids will probably die when they are in to their late teens or turn into hooligans who will do anything for a shot of dope. May be rioter/victim in the next Gujarat riots?
Really this tour has shown us the life beyond our sandboxes and the decomposing state of our nation.

  3. fufu and gugu are not poison,they are intoxicants with side effects. The kids were having pure poison. If they decide to ingest it then they are dead.

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it.
