He drove the car as fast as possible... In one hand he had a glass, filled with whisky, water, just the way he liked it... i sat next to him, and watched him , in complete awe.. i mean, this man was driving the car as if it was his last day and on the other hand he drank like he wud never see whisky in his life.. i kept telling him "dude, go slow man"... he kept saying "ur a scared chick" "digusting piece of rotten plastic" "blooody absolutely no thrill in life" " u telugites" "half tamilian" " go fuck ur biriyani", and a lot more... i had this weird smile on my face while he glorified me. i kept thinking "wow, this is so cool!!!! im gonna die". The man drove faster, faster, faster and faster... my grandma once told me about how Hinduism had over 10000 gods... At that very moment, i remembered most of their names... my heart spoke to me, screamed at me for being in the car... i was never this scared before, except once when i was caught for peeing in my class, tat also with fear... oh god everything just co related then... i sat back, watched my life pass by me, while my friend drowned himself in whisky and my fear... i looked at him, the three friends behind me, who were a lil different from the driver.. they were drinking rum.... i looked at them and in my mind i said " goodbye friends" " meet u'll in someother lifetime".... as if my friend heard it, he replied "balls, we'r meeting this weekend"... i smiled , probably my last smile, and waited for the end...
he stopped the car, suddenly.. like "oh my god" suddenly... he looked at me.. i was as shocked as my mom was when i told her "ma im doing BBM".. he called out my name in his most sweetest slutty voice ... "SSSIIDD".. exactly tat way... i asked him if this was his kodak moment... he kept looking at me.. i also told him "listen we'r never doing it ok.. so forget it"... he asked me to come out.. i did.. i stepped out, while my other friends quietly joined me.. one of them said "are we dead".. the other one replied "dude we'r near nandi hills da".... i was like wow, its not exactly as exciting as it is to go to ooty, but i can manage... i stood there, under the most beautiful sky, with a few million stars all singing the same song that was now being played in his car... radio head... "no surprises".... he kept increasing the volume... and then suddenly, he went right upto the middle of the highway, and did something tat was close to traumatic.. he started dancing.. for a radiohead song.. they wud be ashamed to know tat they created a dance number atleast for one man on earth... i stood there, my feet stuck to the ground, laughing.. so loudly that it could be heard on top of nandi hills... i then looked at him... initially i thought it was aerobics, it eventually turned out to be thapankuthu.... so here i was with four guys... one's thinking he's dead, another thinks he's in love with a girl, the other one hasn't spoken a word since he puked the 12th time and finally the last guy, the driver guy as we called him, who has whisky in one hand, dancing thapankuthu to radiohead song, on the highway... ofcoz i joined in later, and the dancing went to a new low... we kept dancing... i looked at him and said "kevin, u bastard... u are the maddest, the most craziest man i have ever known".... he replied " and this shall be one of our craziest moments, and u will be remeber this always".. he almost completed his oscar sentence,when a truck came barging towards us.. we probably had 3 seconds to decide if we wanted to move to live, or to resemble orange marmalade stuck on the road... the five of us jumped, flew and got to the side.. saved.. alive.. breathing.. scared... i was silent... completely shaken up.. horrified.. the other three, absolutely stunned, wide eyed, panting... i could hardly stand.. i almost cried... such an uncomfortable feeling went thru my really big body... i suddenly remebered kevin.. he wasnt next to me... he liked the highway better.. the four of us stood there, while he was back to the highway ... dancing... he ssuddenly stopped dancing, and looked at us and said in the worst ever wannabe british accent" one more peg of whisky, please"... i couldnt help but laugh... he came up to me and said, "wat an opportunity it was dude... i cud have seen u dead, it wud have been so cool man"... i said "BASTARD"......
