My Tryst with Pune

         tryst /trist/ n. meeting, esp. a secret one of lovers.
Don't go by the literal meaning of 'tryst'. However, I could not find anything that would be an apt description of how I feel. My apologies. The following passages are just an attempt to describe my personal feelings, views and experiences with this Charming Town... Pune.

Like most of the juinor college students in a small town, I too cherished a dream of getting into an esteemed Pune Engineering college. To cut the story short, I couldn't make it. But throughout my graduation I cam down to Pune every now and then - sometimes to get reference books from Appa Balwant Chowk aka ABC, sometimes to have a wild time with my friends (who were so lucky). It was one of those joy rides to the Land of Fantasy! No 9pm deadlines. Bikes. Guys n' gals. Carefree attitude. Young guns at the threshold of adulthood.

Oh No! Not Aaloo Again!!

Characters: 
YF : Yours Faithfully
MS: Mr. Smarty

[Scene: All four friends staying together as pay-guests. A usual evening, dinner time. YF just returning from a nearby Irani Restaurant. BW is busy with Suketu Mehta's "Maximum City". MS and mirror are quite busy - he's got lucky tonight with a date. And hungry PR is just about to open his mess-tiffin]


PR: Hey man! I'm starving! Aren't you guys having food?
YF: I had a bun-omelette at the Irani's. And these guys don't seem to have any plans for food yet. Why don't you go ahead!


[All look at him with a wicked smile]
