The Road Trip--- Part1

The Decision Making
So it was a one fine bright sunny sunday. Indian Cricket team was battling in Karanchi. Our spirits were high after watching the vernal movie Rang De... It was decided within 5 minutes that we are going on a long drive aka DCH eshtyle. So We 5 punters, Animesh "the Kavi", AJ "as she is called by some special people", BansiMan "The newly turned religious super hero of the JokaLand" K of "I like Jadoo fame" and DJ "The new name of yours truly given by Bansiman and AJ" packed our bags and squeezed in our favourite pushpak viman and hit the road.
The Journey (Part-1)
After lot of manuvouring our pilot "kavivar" and the 4 navigators were able to take our biman on the famous Howrah bridge.And soon we were far from the pooh-poohed Kolkata into the tranquilty of a expressway. The good old friendly banter has already begun. The centre of attraction of course keeps changing with time. New names are made(AJ becomes Radha ;) I become DJ ) the old ones are refined(Roses becomes Gulabbo, K becomes Jadoogar). New and old Information is exchanged, information is customized to suit ur needs, strategic songs are sung(our Kavivar very adept at that). Soon the topic of conversation was steered towards "religion and being religious". Of course our superhero feeling restless, I still wonder why is he so religious when he can be a feline lover. But oh no wait !! we have our jadoogar also there in the line. Suddenly the radio also becomes involved and plays my favourite song these days(well one of them) "Woh KISNA hai" and the focus is changed. The carnage goes on.. No one is spared. I face the wrath of two religious ppl and am termed as Guns and Roses lover. The only one unscathed is our Kavivar Animesh.
We are hungry by now and we see Mukesh Bhai's Dhaba and check in. Now dont tell me you do not know Mukesh bhai. Arey bhai Mukesh Ambani.
