Chain , Hunter, Diuretic & Monument

I'll start this post with an apology to Ankur who’ll be surely infuriated by the usage of first two words in the title of this post..Here goes my try to refresh memories of all of you who are familiar with this foolish fancy of our great one:
A long time back in room 119,Hostel A ,a Pahari boy once expressed his desire to have something quite weird (and wild) thereby amazing/terrorising all his friends .Powerless to protest,when asked to try the same fancy i offered my nod (a bet though!!) to experiment but not with mine...Pahari still deny this bet with somewhat undimmed "jealousy"?? or lets call it pahar ka asar simply!! I'll end this event description abruptly here without giving any further bit of info...interested people may directly trouble our Pahari boy..

Pahari has been a great entertainer at NIT and our college life would have surely been dull had Pahari not fit in the only Prod/Pahari seat at NIT Jsr...On one of our happening evening at down hostel in NIT, a Chankur bomb was
dropped ( though with no intention to explode!!) by our Production Hero while great guns of powerless NIT were utilising their time at the Great wall of "new" Cafeteria on the borders of Kabeela Basti...Dehradun - where number of ghost stories rival number of people living in is so into DNA of our Chankur that he often found secluded places "perplexing??" and that he obliged a gutter with a title "Monument"..And when showered with compliments on this, Pahari defended his claim like a Honey Badger.. making even the mighty Pelu almost tumble and hurt his brains (physically his knees,ankles )..From then onwards people referred the wall & gutter besides Cafeteria as "Pahari's Monument:..


And at Hall G, Chankur under the able observation/guidance of Sheik Zarq and the legend Vijay Deenanath Chauhan (urf VL) developed in himself a liking for carom .With Pelu, the mad physicist as his carom partner he was destined tochoke!!they had lost many games playing together..Undeterred by their loosing spree, one lazy morning he along with Pelu challanged 2 not so good carom players..but nothing unexpected happened Pelu-Pahari,the deadly duo did loose again..what i will never forget is the invitation dialogue from physicist Pelu
"aao...din ki shuruwaat hum jeet ke karenge!! " and the minuteness with which laws of reflection were applied on a poor deadwood carom board..


And who else can forget Diuretic sessions of a stoneman cum Pahari!! The fervour with which Pahari, the baba took the liquid down his throat is surely the mother of T shirts with "Save water drink beer" caption on 'em..
Our forgetful Stoneman nearly murdered a Kandra Ghamariya lady in one of Jsr's pathalogy for his reports and in 2nd half of the day he turned himself into a saint thereby gifting the same report to a Juice stall and an additional trip for me to TMH to nullify the generosity shown which i reckon'd as heat of the moment. Anyway that was how our incredible Pahari was in college..


Hell.. i wanted to write a single dedicated post to describe each of the above events ,but i am upto my neck in an alligator called job..may be i'll try to take some time off my busy worthless schedule to post ,revisit and chuckle
myself & all you guys up with few more chapters of Chankurnama!!
