THE ICE BREAKER......

THE ICE BREAKER........

Today was the 13^th day after my grandfather died and we had finished all our ceremonies. I was really tired and was drinking tea and sitting near my bhua and grandmother. Due to some I just couldn’t be there to comfort them, so I suddenly left and came to meet my cousin brothers at my nani’s place. Suyash, Arpit n Tanuj....all younger to me by at least 10 - 15 years.

I was so bored and angry, that I asked to would they like to have pizza and we went to Pizza Time.....Arpit was suffering from severe cold from last night.....I was joking that he should start sneezing there and everyone would leave because of the germs.....hmmm.....not so funny I know.....

I was trying to make them order, but I think because I am older than them, they were feeling shy.......hmmm.....finally I ordered a 12 inch pizza and garlic bread with cheese....it was ok....the garlic bread wasn’t good.....the taste of garlic wan not there.....Arpit didn’t sneeze for a single time there......he failed my plan.....

After the pizza I asked them if they want to go any other place......but again the age barrier was hovering in their heads I think. So, finally I asked me if they wanted to eat ice cream...but Suyash was reluctant for that, mind you Arpit the one with severe cold and the one sneezing continuously was ready for ice cream......but Suyash was not ready, so we dropped the idea.......

I finally gathered courage and the guts to ask them, would you like to try “Hukka”.....I thought my younger brothers were very naive......I think I was very naive when I was of their age......

So we went to Mr. Beans and tried the time tested flavour of Pan Rasana and Red Bull.....it was amazing. We talked for a long time about many things, like cigarettes, alcohol and drugs and their side effect....I want to let you know Arpit didn’t even sneeze for a single time while we were in the Hukka parlour......fail, ek dump fail.....Then we came back home and all smoked out, got dabali for Suruchi.

We had homemade pohe, it was delicious. Then we first spent night deciding which movie we have to see and after wasting half an hour on that, we decided to watch The Prestige. As me and Suyash being a fan of Christopher Nolan, we were very happy. I was watching it for the fourth time.........ha ha ha.

Arpit dozed off very quickly and I was out by the half of the movie was over. But Suyash and Tanuj finished the movie.

This is the first time I spent so much time with my younger cousins........I have missed this thing so much with Raunak and I don’t want to repeat this mistake again......thanks you three for the awesome time spent together.....
