So long time no post, was busy..went to Bangalore..did the most AWESOME advanced course ever...more about that in a later post..
For those of you who know our gang...you already know from the title who this post is going to be about...For others, the meaning of the above phrase will be explained in due course..
As ritesh is going to be one of the first people from our batch to move on to "Greater Things", i thought why not write this post about him, before he leaves and all...well we have already had a farewell party and all...and considering that us guys weren't really a part of the (gay) scrapbook...please consider this to be your farewell gift buddy..
So Ritesh Vaidya...the first time you see this guy, if he is wearing goggles and all, you are sure to think he is a foreigner, saala itna gora hai...aur upar se chubby bhi hai...poora firangi dikhta hai..style bhi kabhi kabhi waise hee maarta hai. And in Goa, some priest actually mistook him for a firangi...so we have proof to back the theory as well..right K2??
But as they say. Light travels faster than sound. So the moment he opens his mouth and all the choicest of hindi gaalis come out, you will come right back to earth and realize he is just another Mumbai teenager.
The first time i met him was i guess in 2nd year, he had just joined our class from another division, and in his own words..he din't know wat the f*** was going on...i mean..he was just lost. He was pretty much forced to hang out with our group as i think he knew one or two of us before hand. And i can't even imagine wat our group must have been for him, i mean it was irritating for ME sometimes, is bechaare ka kya hua hoga..But of course he din't really have a choice..so he gelled...and soon realised that there are at least SOME sensible people amongst the hooligans...
I remember him narrating one experience of the early days..when he was hanging out with us and we actually spent 2 hours at the main gate deciding where to go..normal routine for us but so completely new for him...finally he was rescued by some other people he knew from first year..poor guy...
From the 3 years that i have known him..i can tell you one thing...HE DOESN'T CARE!!!yepp..thats right..he just doesn't give a damn....iske aas paas jo ho raha hai hone do..he won't give a damn...he lives his life exactly the way he wants to...and no amount of opinions and advices can sway him...and most of the times he doesn't bother giving people advices or opinions either...he is the true proponent of the mantra "Live and Let Live"..
He is freakishly Lazy...and i mean freakishly Lazy...we call him Whizzy as tht is his yahoo id...so we have a song for him..based on Khwaja Mere Khwaja from Jodha Akbar...it goes..."Whizzy mera Whizzy...Hai bada Lazy..." sung by his mom of course...LOL...
He is almost always late...Just like me...i mean it happened so many times tht wenever you called him...and asked where r u..his response was almost always "Haan, Main thana station pe hoon"...so its a standing joke now...that in a movie based on our lives, Ritesh Vaidya will not be introduced on screen...his voice will keep saying throughout the movie..Main Thana Station Pe Hoon...ROFL...
Whizzy has had a lot of alteractions over the years...and almost all of them with girls...reason, he doesn't tolerate non sense...and i mean he DOES NOT tolerate it. I have never seen him take crap from anyone..He always gives it back...so in the course of this giving and taking...he has hit, abused, shouted on various girls..and i must say all for pretty valid reasons...He just cannot stand nonsense..as simple as that...
He has a typical style of saying "Paaaagal ho gaya hai...kya ******* hai kya..." he stresses so hard on the abuses its almost as if the gaalis were made for his mouth only..
I remember sometime in 4th year we were all actually scared about him, coz he used to show this total non chalance towards everything, we were scared kaheen yeh fail toh nahin hoga..his response to wat r u doing was almost always "who the f*** cares man", even one day before the exams..so it was a little unnerving...thankfully Deloitte happened..then SCMHRD happened..so at least he is going to do SOMETHING now...WHEW!!!
Now lets talk a lil about his interest in the fairer sex...for a long time i thought he had none..LOL...but soon stories of his sojourn with some people started filtering out...i still remember Jas's dialogue..."Maybe it is destiny that has brought you guys together into VJTI"...LOL...dude i still remember the expression on your face...as if you had eaten sour eggs or something...ROFL...
In his own words he let a very good opportunity go while in junior college...and man we rubbed the salt into the wounds...he still sometimes thinks about it i guess...do u dude???
As for the current scene, well lets just leave that...i mean i don't wanna spoil your chances by jinxing it by announcing it on a public domain man...LOL...i can almost feel the hatred on your face right now..HEHE...
This guy loves his booze and hookaah...total charsi hai saala...jab free time mile chalo daaru peene...chalo hookah maarne...kya pata kaunse janam ka gamm baha raha hai daaru peeke...I do not wan to disclose the exact details, but at one party he got pretty sloshed...and not-so-pretty dirty...quite easily one of the scariest things i have seen happen to a guy...Dude word of advice...Respect Your Drink...
Well that is about all that i remember about him. Its great that he is going for his MBA..to a school where he will be required to get up at 6:30 EVERY morning...man that would be fun...hehe...it would have been great to have been working with you at Deloitte man...but i still wish u all the best...hope you join Deloitte after 2 years..and hopefully not as MY manager..LOL...
Have a great life dude...and please don't be at Thane Station anymore...
