Thuganomics

Couple of days back we friends had a small outing and eating...Probably the last one at Balu's Thattukada...Panackal is going away next week and then there will be too few of us left to have a get together...the number is dwindling day by day...
I had office that day couldn't go to college to collect the marklists...the others had gone there and had a blast the entire day and the idea was to gather in the evening and give a perfect sent off to Panackal...or so we thought...

Anand picked me from home as usual and as we reached Balu's we saw a little scuffle happening...only when we reached near we could see it was our guys and 3-4 others...
The other guys where drunk and was threatening and bellowing at our friends and trying to get hands on us. We got into it and learned what happened...

Hafeez had parked his scooter and they were sitting on the wall as usual. One of the drunk guys were trying to reverse his car and he came close to toppling the scooter. Hafeez ran up to car and tapped the car to get the drivers attention. Then he jumped and his friends joined in to teach us a lesson: For banging on the car!

They were the local useless but potent assholes and we had to somehow settle this peacefully...somehow Sreenath's word had an effect on the guy and he somewhat came down to settle things...after listening to some more shouting and shirt grabbing things were almost settled...then the fucker slapped Thakkudu across his face...we had to hold down a lot of anger...their home turf and they got to lose nothing...somehow we restrained ourselves and things ended...
We hugged and kissed the bastards away and they went away feeling smug.

These are the times you feel like an impotent...having a greater number and having better muscle power couldn't help us...
In the end they spoiled a great day for all of us...
We were all down and it could reflect from the food we ate...the usual second helpings were not taken and we coudln't even finish what we ordered...

Why are there people like this in the world...hell bent on making our lives difficult...
