the day- 17th November '08...
an 'oh-it's-you' look, a warm hug, a wannabe debate on whether to go to PECOS or not, a bike ride of laughter and later the silencer getting 'hump'ed adding to the laughter-riot, and finally PECOS...inside PECOS- the dimly lit space, i-think-Rajesh happy to see Dwight and introduced to C.J., glugging down mugs of beer interspersed by well decided smokes, Leonard Cohen, Ringo Starr, Jimi Hendrix and other such 'mere mortals' watching us and giving us the possible company they could and finally the desi-'Nachis' as Dwight called it...this could well be considered the perfect Utopian setting for some great camaraderie...
surprisingly, at least was a surprise to C.J. who pleasantly discovered that she didn't have to torment her grey matter to keep the conversation alive, the conversation just flowed...no efforts demanded by either...an easy and fluid accomodation into each other's spaces...conversations being easy, funny, tipsy, pompous (Dwight sure was) and a whole load of 'heartfelt' teasing and 'I-have-to-be-mean-to-C.J.' trip accompanying them...while C.J. guilessly was convinced a great camaraderie was in the making, His Royal Highness Dwight takes the liberty of assigning the duty of marking that particular day, time and place...time I have forgotten and admit am as guilty as charged...date and venue we all know by now...
why the day and date important? to remember that seven years from then the self proclaimed a man of his words HRH Dwight will be a celebrity in his own right, signing more than 35 autographs at any given point of time...a famous celebrity so famous that he will have no other choice but to admit that he does require the skill set and talent of C.J. to help him manage his career...at which point hopefully C.J. hasn't developed a hunchback of responsibilities and is able to squeeze in some time to accomodate poor ol' Dwight...
back to the evening...a fun evening that turned out to be 'funner' with the arrival of Dwight's equally evil twin who shall be referred to as Ek-Do-Teen ...it was an evening filled with verbalized dreams, jokes, taunts, soul-bearing snippets, singing good ol' Tamizh songs looking into each others' eyes and of course the whole 'Ass Grabbing' issue...
here goes...Dwight with Ek-Do-Teen(EDT) are busy making this huge issue of how C.J. has apparently 'molested' poor Dwight and grabbed his arse (prefer the British you see)...so C.J. initially behaved the lady she is born into being and tried refuting the ridiculous claims...but today in hindsight C.J. understands that it was her indignation that had them on a roll..so when the first tactic didn't work, C.J. realizes that plan B has to executed...a very logical point she had to make...C.J.'s point was she could never have and can never grab Dwight's arse coz, for one to grab something, that 'something' has to be visible...but boys being boys Dwight and twin EDT nullified the point by the statement that Dwight actually had his assets right but the clothes he had on were not justifying what he had...now C.J. is left with just one choice...having clearly understood that if and when boys decide to talk about 'a' particular topic there's pretty much nothing one can do to stop them...but while they are at it, one might as well give them something to talk about...it seems fair enough to live up to their accusations, right?so after maintaining some silence for a while, C.J. grabbed HIS arse...the deed was done and all the talk that had to happen can happen now...
this moment was the moment that made C.J. feel very much the liberated woman of today...an experience so good and so much fun C.J. might enjoy doing it again ;) EDT was right...grabbing Dwight's arse really transformed C.J. into a liberated woman though one doubts if Dwight might have enjoyed it at all coz you see C.J. reminds Dwight a lot of his aunt, a resemblance that overwhelms him so much that he has to mention it at least twice every time they meet...so for all we know 'it' might have been spooked by the feeling of an aunt-like grabbing its arse..poor Dwightu!!!
back at the 'tea-table' - my midget and EDT in a heated discussion, Dwight yawning on my face like there's no tomorrow and like it was the most gentlemanly thing to do and bizarre conversations...at a glance the evening is like a blur of wonderful colors, sounds, words and emotions...a closer look reveals the Jing-Chak beauty of details that might have you wanting to join C.J, Dwight and EDT's adventures next time 'round.............
