A tale of 2 decisions

Imran: yar hamza k sath lakshmi chalay jao poster lene bike pe aya hai

me: yar tu chala ja mje rasta nae ata

imran: nae muje b rasta nae ata. Maine bus pe jana hai seedha ghar. Jaws ko keh day.

Me: jaws chala ja yar

jaws: nae. May thaka hua hun

me: kitna chawal hai tu. Hamza ye raseed (receipt) pakar aur lay a please akela ja k.

Hamza: apne pas rakho may akela nae jaon ga

me: yar koi to kaam kar dia kar.

Hamza: mje rasta nae pta may bike pe ghar ja raha hun. Khudahafiz.

(hamza walks away to the motorcycle stand while we board the bus)

imran (to afnan bhai): yar plz ap chalay jain

afnan bhai: 100 rupay do

me (aloud, like making an announcement): yar lakshmi bari mashhoor jaga hai lahore ki ko jana chahta hai to chala jae

(a new giggles from here and there, the bus begins to move)

imran: yar tu aur may chalte hain, hamza se kehte hain bus pe a jae

me: han yes. Chal utar

imran: oye ab wo kbi nae pohanch sakta bus pe. May utar jata hun bus se may chala jata hun.

Me: han sae

(i think)

me: nae may jata hun

imran: nae may

me: may utar raha hun

(i call up hamza)

me(on the phone): hamza may gari shahu utar raha hun mje pick karlena.

(i hang up)

imran: tu ja raha hai phir?

Me: han...nae

imran: okay i'm going

me: ja...nae nae may ja raha hun

imran: acha sae

me: kya?

Imran: k tu ja raha hai

me: o nae may reh raha hun.

Imran: dono chalte hain

me: pagal bike pe 3 bnday kaise bethen gay? You know policewale hote hain

imran: chal phir sochlay

(the bus reaches garhi shahu, stops at the signal. I get off)

me: ok Khuda Hafiz

(the bus begins to move and imran jumps off it as well)

me(running after imran): wat the...?

Imran: may b ja raha hun

me: o pagal may ja raha hun. Hum 3 log kaisay bethe gay?

(imran thinks for a second)

imran: bus agay dubara ruki hai pakar len?

Me: chal

(we walk towards the bus and it starts moving)

(we look at eachother laugh hysterically and sit down on the pavement. Waiting for hamza)

we later realise the imran had the receipt at that time so if i had got off all alone it would've been futile to go there.

Moral of the story:
1) hamza is an idiot, he made us wait
2) decisions should be made and stuck with
3) triple sawari is not easy when you've to avoid hundreds of policemen from lakshmi to modeltown
4) lakshmi is pretty distant from model town
5) jaws is seriously lazy
6) the pavement is at normal temperature these days
7) once you can see the bus moving and the distance between you and the bus is more than ten metres, then its no use following the bus (i learnt it quite long ago. The HARD WAY!)

*evil grin* yeah baby...
Lol, no seriously man i understand how badly you miss it. But i'm amazed at the number of people who just are not enjoying life at uet. I mean not living it up. There are so many people man, who are just nun living life at uet to its fullest. But like i said earlier in a post, these are the effects of the admin. Sigh. Stupid administration.

@Duffer
thanx man thanx alot

@Mahru
we've done five on a bike and one two of us were quite bulky. So i think 6 is easy.

@Mubi
thanks for liking it. And you know, the next time we try 6 on a bike, i'll show you a picture. Btw the problem with 3 on a bike is not that there's not much space. Its illegal actually, hence you've to get off everywhere you see a policeman
