The Night Shift

I have been noticing that my past few blogs have been somewhat depressing and are just focussed towards me, so I have decided to write a new blog titled "the NIGHT shift".

nah nah, please do not confuse yourself. We don't work in some call centre or any BPO sector.

This is all about me and my frens, because for us the day begins when everyone's day ends.

Normal people have their breakfast at 9 or at the max at 10, we have 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Our lunch time is normally at 8. That is the time we get to move out after the sumptuous dosa and idly. And now I leave this open for you to imagine at what time we have our dinner.

BACKGROUND NOTE:- Originator - Manoj.
Reason - Deeply in love.
Virus 1st noticed - September 2007.
True follwer - Aakash.


I live in an apartment along with 4 more guys along and all are some unusual character in their own.

At 1'o clock when half the world is asleep, I get a buzz on my G talk, "Ghoomne chalega". And my reaction is so impulsive, "ok boss lets move".

The night shift starts usually after 9'o clock when we guys return back to our apartment ie; after having our so called lunch. And our point of meeting is the terrace. The best place in our building. We chat all nonsense, but yeah at that point of time it sounds as if the most important thing in the world. For example, that girl ditched me yet once again. Right now it might sound a bit funny, but if that point of time any one would have told us this, we would have cracked his ass right a way.


If I go on this way, my Blog will never come to an end, so have decided to write about each guy and the activity they are all involved in.

Mayank:- God knows when does his night start?? He is half the time busy with his friends, ie; bhole, tathagath, and is lost in his own world of SPSS. and the other half of the time he is on the fone. God knows with whom. He is actually my true bhai or call it the FILTER bhai. And you must have guessed the reason right a way. Rite?

Rajesh:- The philosopher, the expert comment, the chiku star of our apartment. He is so obsessed with CHIKU, that he ask's another guy to give him company so that he can have his favourite chiku juice, (NOTE:::The time is 2 in the night). This guy gets involved in just two things, firstly his G talk chats over the headfone, actually this is his new found love, ie; to chat over g talk. God this guy can really chat and yeah chat for hours n hours. Earlier I used to think that am the master of the chat world, then I met Rajesh. The second thing in which he is involved is his sher-o-shayari. He can never complete any sentence without his sher-o-shayari. And after he is done with his work, ie; chatting over the headfone on g talk he walks up to the terrace, so that he can deliver a few of his sher-o-shayari to us.

Mrinmoy:- Was at one point of the time considered a robot, who had his time fixed for everything. to sleep, to get up, to study, to bath and yeah to shit too. "Hey you guys stepping out for tea"?? God it was the most shocking question for us, the reason for this is, that this guy never stayed awake even during exam's and now he was awake till 4 in the morning. Now his situation is such that, he never gets sleep before 3 or 4 in the night. Really the night shift virus has caught up. If I start to chat with him, can go on & on for hours together.
It was some days back, that both of us were getting bored, so as usual decided to sit on the terrace, atleast some fresh cool air would relax us a bit. We guys started to chat, yeah the same old topic luck-love-life-etc. And the next time we saw the time it was half past 2. And it was then we realized that we had forgot to have our dinner.

Aakash (ME)- I am the most vella kindaa banda in our apartment, who in general is fed up with his life. I have even started hating the mid-night chats. (Can you imagine that!!!) And now am the only jobless guy around,(reason NO GALFREN) so it is assumed that if anyone wants to have timepass can sit with me, and yeah being a big chatter box(at tyms) can really chat. My night shift is pretty chill. My start is something like this, "hey hiii,,, how are youuuu,,,,ok just hold on," and then i hear another voice on my cell, then i realize that we guys on conferencing. Ohh forgot to mention about the guys whom I'm busy with on the conferencing. It's Me, Surbhi and Hriday. God these both have sooooo much to talk always, and I can never stop laughing, when Hriday starts to speak. And once am done with my calling process, then again as usual am a vella. I usually don't involve in discussion if it is related to studies, but if the discussion is about Shah rukh, I'll be the only guy speaking and the rest generally try to keep shut.

Manoj (the ORIGINATOR) :- He is the person who had this habit of staying awake till late, sometimes I really wonder, was this guy some chaukidaar, who never gets sleep in the night. But see him during the day. He with his big mouth open will be sleeping as if he really has no worries about the world. Let what happen he never gets up till it atleast 3 in the noon. What he is upto has really been a mystery. These days he is busy with his girl on the fone and if not fone, it will be the chats. God what do they talk. Even I wanna know. Sometimes it looks as if he is waiting for the clock to strike 4 so that we guys can step out for tea or coffee, because as soon as the clock strikes 4, i get a call from asking to get ready so that we can leave. He is the most weirdest character among us. His taste are simply awesome, wait will give you a hint about his taste. He loves shanti super. Got it. The problem with manoj is that, he is an experienced guy and has sooooo much to talk always. And his gyaan ranging from sex to sensex. He is a master in all.

Now the time is 4 in the morning:- We guys start to move out of our apartment. We meet many people on our way to the tea shop. We everyday encounter a DOG. Never knew chennai dogs are so afraid. I just whistle and they clear the route. Earlier the dog used to bark when he used to see us coming, but now I guess he is used to and hardly cares to even see us.
The next person we meet is the Sify wale uncle", actually he into the business of diary products along with his sify internet cafe, so he has to be awake in order to take delivery.
"Don't you guys ever sleep?" Uncle asked,
Actually no college these days so....... manoj replied.
Anyways good to see such faces in the morning, Uncle told us (now god knows was it a comment or compliment).

The chotu of the tea shop has become such a great fan of us fellows, that if one day any fellow is missing, he gets a sad expresion on his face.

Once it so happend that, manoj was busy with his chats so much that he never got time to accompany us for the tea. And this continued for 3 days.

After 3 days, chotu, ie; the tea shop guy asked me where is that fellow?
we asked him whom was he talking about?
And he tells us that priety zinta spec fellow, and we guys were all laughing and later promised him that we will get manoj along.

Having our tea, we guys discuss about almost everything we have in our head. From gals to the corporate culture to be followed. Everything means Everything.

Actually even the idea of writing this blog originated at the coffee shop, and earlier the titles suggested to this blog were Surya bhagwan ko namaskar, The mid nite call.But I personally loved the NIGHT shift. so Its here.

Actually the time is already 4 so I guess I should also make a move as the other guys are waiting for me downstairs. bbyeee.....see you soon in my next blog. Happy waiting till then.
