The fellowship of the Solution!!
When history unfolds, there are always untold heroic acts oveshadowed by the work of the renown. This post is a mere attempt to bring out one of the coveted traits the wierdo possessed.
One hour lunch break in college used to give us very few options for places to eat. When it intersected with Apurv's budget for lunch, the places boiled down to 3. That day it was Moghul Darbar with a little leniency on the budget; I could have a fresh lime soda sweet with a cherry in it!! Whoa!! When the lunch was coming to an end, we all partially knew that we were going to bunk the afternoon classes. Lethargy and Movies; we all were thinking the same. Rishi had done his part for the day. That day's contribution was shit scoops in waffle cone with chocolate toppings. Apurv tried to instigate everyone for a bet like he always did and we could never fathom who actually chickened out!!!
On a normal day such establishment are a source of unlimited revelry. We all tooted our horns about our threshold for disgust and Jinwin as always was unleashing his creativity. Jitu put in some imaginative ideas too and that day his offer was too tempting for Jinwin to refuse. The act at hand was swallowing a pool of spit offered from the palm of the Lord himself; the fellowship would contribute one for each. The bet was on the table open to be accepted. One Magai Pan! Jinwin was contemplating and after taking a brisk stroll around the North pole he knew what he wanted. He exclaimed, Two Magai Paan and 2 magai paan it is!! He made it clear that the negotiation windows were closed (Jinwin's signature style"puurrrrrrriiitttUP")
The fellowship was prepared. The question then was who would emit the initial fluid. Jitu had to do it and one by one Apurv, Rishi, Papali (Though he was hungry!!!), Vineeth and I followed. It was all there in Jitu's palm ready to be consumed and with every second passing by the fluid was getting anxious. The alien environment was getting unbearable and only Jinwin could understand the quandary of the spit!!! Jinwin devoured all of it in Two seconds. He started running towards the paan shop prompting the paanwaala "Two magai paan". Jinwin was all smiles munching on the paan feeling triumphant for the act of honour and amuse. It was his DAY!

It was great to re-live the moment of triumph for my BESHTEST friend.
I hope Jinwin gets such moments all his life.
Hahaha, that was a fantabulous one Mone, if I have to say so myself. Of course the prose - it doesn't quite figure in the list of literary brilliance such as mine, Wilde, Edgar Poe but it sure conjured up matchless and timeless mam..errr...memories.
Cheers to you bob. Love you woman!!!
