IFs and BUTTs's the first train journey

A trip that changed so much….
The Six Ifs and three Butts


IF we reach the station in time
IF we are able to catch the train
IF the compartment has working plug points
IF we are able to make the presentation
IF we reach KJ some in time
IF we win the comptt


And off course need not tell the three big BUTTS…Su, Writsy and Me
All began a month back .when I came across the KJ Somaiya HR comptt..Human Equations…a comptt which changed the equations forever.


The first person I think when it comes to HR, ‘Aee Writtika’ aka ‘Matter’ aka ‘Khandan’  , though as per rest of the Bhascomm and the predominant buzz arnd…Me and writs don’t do well together…. everything aside…comptt is where u have ur best men together …(though I always knew we had difference in opinion sometimes but as writtika said…after all we are friends…)


Skipping all…the entry is selected …the story starts…:


Confused totally whether to go or not…train ticket reservations..cost effectiveness..accomodation…
…presentation..exams…placement week…the moment the trip was being planned…we had loads of IFs…


And yes…..before I take u thru the trip..just remember that always try and take work in ur hand…cause there were only two things that were outsourced to other team members{its writtika, but its rude to name her} ….which were not done…(Offense intended…but remember  Writzy , I lov ya now)


Day of the trip….train at 16:30 hours…time to leave campus….14:00 hours….


Time 14:20…..
Bhatia: Praxy cld u hold on for some time , I have a visa form to submit
Praxy: Let’s sleep for a while…!!!
Praxy and Bhatia keep calling but Writsy is somewhere…no response…
Bhatia: praxy tumhare yahan koi pen kyon nahin chalta hain..don’t u even have a single pen in ur room working…
Praxy: sloshed…bhagwan galti ho gayin..aage se pura naya packet rakh lunga….mumma….
{Bhatia running to and fro}


Time 14:40…
Don’t give work to Females part  1: writsy forgets the camera


Writ: Main abhi le aaun…{yahan sabki fati padi hain,late ho rahan hain..aur madam ko ab camera lana hain….}
Praxy: leave it..let’s go…
Writsy: mera paas phone main camera hain….
Praxy: #%#%$#%$#%


The walk to the main gate took ages… though appreciate Mo and Nair coming all the way to see us off…
Good bye hugs and kisses..muah muah…etc
{Inside the Car}


Driver: late ho gayen ho aap log…jaldi nikalna chahiye tha
Praxy: #%#%$#%$#%...haan bhaiya sahi keh rahen hain der ho gayin hain..par aap to pahucha hi doge
Driver: haan try karenge
{Mohit calls}{ Nair calls}


Writsy: prakhar aren’t we late…hum log pahuch jayenge….???
Su: Hum log  pahuch jayenge….main Bhopal gayin thi..to bhi aise huan tha…paru ne pahucha diyan tha
Writsy…hum pahuch jayenge???
Praxy: {praxy tu to gayon…lag legi}…just smiling…ya we shld make it…
Anand Vihar ISBT……{ Nair calls}{Mohit calls}…..ITO …{Mohit calls}{ Nair calls}……Railway station {Mohit calls}{ Nair calls}


Finally pahuch gayen…


Writsy: I fight my own battle…main apna luggage utha lungi….
Praxy: {happy,admire females who can take care of themselves}
We go in…Su and Writsy .. Praxy platform pata kar le….


Su: Platform 4 pe aati hainJ
Writsy: Calcutta rajdhani ja rahi hain..mujhe ghar jana hain….
Praxy: its XX platform…lets go
Writsy,Su: Tune Mumbai rajdhani hi pata kiya hain na….there are so many rajdhani leaving from here..
Praxy: Haan ji…maalkin log….
{ Nair calls}


IN train


Su , writsy and I take out our laptop to work
{Mohit calls}
…not even settled….we have evening snacks coming
{if u wanna work ,never travel thru a rajdhani …they never let u work and keep on feeding u till u die….}
2 hrs go on in planning….yeh karna hain …woh karna hain..kaha se start Karen…


Uncle# 1: kam bhi kar lo..batein to bahut ho gayin….
{ Nair calls}


Somebody throws the idea…do we go to Mumbai and don’t go to college and run off….Yes …Yes…No….are the answers….
The food is here….ting ting ting…dinner time…..
{Mohit calls}{ Nair calls}


Time passes on…we make some progress…
12 in the night…people have already dropped off….


BUT ….{Mohit calls}{ Nair calls}…
The bitch and Su on top Upper births….thankfully both middle births are free…praxy standing in between…and the bell hangs in between…


Working charging points: 1
Ek anar teen bimaar….plus Su ka laptop doesn’t work when it’s not plugged on….
Making steady progress…..Wrtizy  works on organograph…praxy reads case…Su does the slides…
In between…I am on Su’s birth..and Writ says ..lets rape him….and tries to come over this side…by that time…
Su ne kahani kar di thi
{ bu hu hu, cartel b ke….samjh le bhai ke sath kyan huan}


2 in the night..things start to take shapes…loads of discussion..how do we progress…ab kaise Karen..this that…{brilliant discussion, all aspects covered}


Two thirty: Writ and Me get down in the lobby…while Su takes a small nap….Me and Wrtisy thanks to her headphones…watching the First cultural night at IMT…fashion show…Su performance..my play…etc


There is a weird guy passing here and there…
Bitches bitch abt him
Back to work….


Su: my laptop is abt to go…put in on charger fast..{ only she  has the final pres}….
I jump into action and try and plug in the plug…my ass on writ legs and the rest is history…
And writsy enjoys{ This is the famous Ass rub scene}…{m sure both hav more inputs}


3:30 : all of us are hungry…we smell fresh cutlets…
We get some cutlets and breads….one of the best meals on wheels ever….


We dont realize uncle getting up…..he wanted to  pee…he stands up starts walking..missing my bell and balls by barely inches…his pee could have cost me my fatherhood….
We get to serious working and the pres is done by 5…and we sleep…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was pretty  much it for now….there will be personal biases…im not that good of a writer ..pardon me for that…sp mistakes will be there….
Jus wanna say in the end…the trip did a lot to me and my perceptions…and I am thankful I went…Love Su and Writ more than ever…and now Bhascomm comes firstJ

And yes there is more to the trip…..mumbai..the comptt….the Writ-prax pune trip and more….

  1. This one is from one of the butts...This story is not entirely true...facts, details, conversations have been blurred, hidden, fabricated and manipulated...
    But considering the entertainment quotient and the fact that this was Praxie's blog debut, we will give him some "artistic license"...
    And I admit, the fun, the bhasad, the sincerity (or the lack of it), the panic and the friednship has been beautifully captured...Kudos...
