Independence Day

What did i do on Independence Day? Hmmm..let's see if i can answer...

11 at night. It was raining cats and dogs. Beach House. 1+ 1/2 vodka. 1/2 whiskey. 4 packs of cigarettes. 8 guys. Rice, scrambled eggs, chutney. Streaks of lightning illuminating the sea for precious seconds, soliciting a cry of awe everytime we saw it. Claps of thunder to add to the drama.

"It's 12. Hey, happy Independence Day, man. Cheers!!!"

Arbit conversations, ( i love this part!!) with topics ranging from Syd Barett to Dave Mustaine, Metallica to Black Sabbath, Chinese techniques of torture to Japanese mass internet suicides, the blockade in Manipur to an imminent Naga- Meitei clash.

Some snippets:
"' Can i pee from the terrace?'
' From or on?'
' From.' "
"f*** , im high."
"I think i can jump down - it seems so near from here."
"I want something new. I'm tired of listening to the same old music, doing the same old shit. I want something new. U know, if a lot people start doing the same thing, it's not so much fun anymore, even if u did find it so at one time. That's why i haven't read the da Vinci Code. It's fun to be different, man, in any way u want. "
" ' Hey i wanna see the sunrise. It's gonna be awesome.'
A minute later - ' Hey, I'm crashing da. ' "

P.S. There was something missing- music. There should have been some Floyd, man...
