The Sine Curve

Did you ever come across a sine curve? If you have its fine, but if you have not then you better check out what it looks like cuz I don’t have the time to explain it to you. Anyway, last week I had the most bizarre time with friends at Santiniketan, we went there for a class trip to relax a bit after the mid semester exams. And would you believe if I told you that I stumbled on a sine curve on the trip? But ironically I did stumble on the funny thing!

Ok, so what happened was, we had the most filling lunch at Babli at around 3 ‘O clock…and then we thought ok lets roll some joints people!
Ahem ahem…not a joke…we literally did!

Harsh got his hash out and Neha occupied herself with grinding the solid…and Aishik,
Anirban, Neepa and I took a back seat and started yapping. Sneha yapped more and created noise so I shut my ears for a while and asked my tired brain to believe that she wasn’t there in the room. Hmmm bad try. It duznt happen that way….you gotta be high to do all that imagining stuff. Anyway the joint took 15 minutes of tiring effort to come to shape and we sat ourselves in a circle and passed the joint from left to right. S.R.C(proff) was right at the right side of the circle…oops I think I still have the hangover…correction, he was there somewhere on the right of me…and I looked on as he took a deep and solid drag and his eyes immediately turned cherry… “This is very strong, where did you get it from harsh?” he asked. “Sir this is not from here, I got it from Himachalpradesh.”
The joint kept on passing hands and twitchy lips, and I took it from aishik. I took a deep drag as sir just taught! And boy I swear I got an instant kick. I almost passed out before the joint made another circle back to me. I leaned myself on the wall and closed my eyes. Sima said from somewhere around me. “ iska toh ho gaya…hes out!”
I kinda smirked at her remark and fuck…I cudnt stop smirking. I felt that my cheek muscles were forcing my lips up and I swear they were acting on their own. I smirked nonstop for twenty seconds maybe! And then I suddenly felt a downward pull to my cheek muscles…and my face no more smirked but became sad! And this was when I got my first sine curve! I was in my rational senses…but my nerves were off their rockers!
Danish and Aishik, poor things, could only be jealous by looking at my condition and they continued with their drags on hash. I was like “don’t do it yaar…its good but not worth it…you are way better without the high…trust me!”

I quietly laid myself down in the frenzy and sima who was beside me didn’t mind. I was almost out then. I had this weird sensation running within me and I felt a bit giddy and imagined things. I was forgetting the words which I spoke just seconds back; and even before I could finish the sentence I would forget the beginning part of it. It was like ---if a, b and c were the parts of my sentence…then, by the time I was saying c, I had forgotten the first two parts a and b completely! So, for a change, I tried listening to what the others were saying, plus the techno rock tracks coming from harsh’s laptop catered even more to the trance! I had this sine curve going on for quite some time until I saw aishik going flat on the wall…” dude you okay?” I gently asked him…and he smirked at me in reply. I could perfectly place myself in his shoes...O, I was already in his shoes... remember?
And I asked him to share the pillow with me…and I dunno why I shouted in his ears “come to daddy, son...you will be alright” I could feel some suspicious eyes on us instantly, so I cleared the air by adding “yes in a very healthy way!”
And Danish who was almost green from the nonstop drags and a bit from jealousy on seeing asihik and me in a trance, dropped himself on the bed with a loud thump! His head hit the wall…and instead of nursing his bump he grinned with his eyes shut!
The seconds ticked by. The only sane people around were…farah, nupur(friend of sneha), opasona(a bit high on hash smoke in the room!), subha( god knows what hit her that she kept on hoola-hoping for 10 mins on our bed) and anushree( embarrassed to face the camera non-stop) and robin( the trip had only begun for him).

The sine curve was vanishing fast and I didn’t want it to go away, so I started explaining to aishik, what were the two types of bongs that I knew of. And that bloody doper was blabbering to himself abut the male and the female bongs ( bengali people) while I kept on correcting him abut the ‘smoking’ bong and the ‘Bengali’ bong. But this holy doper wouldn’t listen to me for fucks sake!
I sat up on the bed when I felt a little stable…but I kept wondering why was I being sad and humorous at the same time! And while I was still on with this useless argument, anirban decided that we should go and have a stroll outside and see the setting sun.

Amazing scene I must say! But I totally freaked out when this pathetic human started abusing a poor dog or bitch or whatever, “you bloody horny bitch you just molested me!” that I had no choice but to be forced back to my senses to calm this weirdo who was induced with the fake high!

hallelujah!
