From June 30 to August 23, the crew went clubbing for 55 straight nights. Yes, that's 7 days a week for nearly 8 weeks. Didn't think you could do that in a developing country now did you?
Brett was a co-conspirator during that never ending pub crawl. He was later heard telling a team member in Sweden that he had never consumed so much alcohol in his life before and still couldn't keep up with us. So there you have it - proof that Indians can out drink Aussies. Now who would have thought that possible?

Genesis
June 1, 2000
Jaan-e-man and I become smoking buddies - she because she never bought cigarettes, me because I needed someone to talk to. On the way back from a smoke I meet Pyaare for the first time. He was standing outside Ranjit's office waiting to meet him. I walked away with the distinct impression that he was very 'pseud'.
June 30, 2000
The office threw a welcome party for new recruits at 1900s (I was a 30 day veteran by then, but who's counting?). The party got off to a slow start typical of most office parties, but I was as happy as a pig in the proverbial on account of the free booze. At around 1am something happened. The song "Free from desire" came on. Pyaare, Jaan-e-man, Bhavana and I are going nuts on the dance floor. What just happened? I was at the bar with a drink, how did I get on the dance floor? At the end of the song the four of us are best friends. The party ended at 2am but somehow we didn't get the memo...we finally call it quits at 5am after going to Avalon and Juhu Centaur.
I finally go to bed thinking Pyaare's not that 'pseud' after all.

Pyaare and I go to pick up Jaan-e-man and Bhavana to go out drinking. There are two random guys hanging out with them. Apparently we'd bumped into them the night before and they had taken a liking to Jaan-e-man. They would be the first of many random guys who seemed to fall in love with Jaan-e-man after their first meeting. Always thought that was very curious. Guess Bombay wasn't ready for her or the crew. That didn't stop us from taking the city by storm anyway.

Well I finally did it...
...I took Pyaare's advice and decided to start my own blog. Hopefully we will all be entertained by my random thoughts!
