Drunk Tales

All characters mentioned in this post are very much real , and you could find a lot of resemblance to someone you know well or even yourself ;) , but lets declare the norm here .No names please !!
The first incident that comes to my mind is while we were still on PS in Bangalore and this pg-mate of mine decided to gulp down much more that she could take . Problem was to get her to the room which was on the first floor from the car with the pg aunty sitting right across the hall. Somehow we managed to send aunty off for a while and 2 of us were helping this very much on-the-high friend up the stairs with all hush hush , when suddenly in full spirits she shouts " where is aunty ?"
And to think of all our efforts in making this a not so obvious affair ! But we managed and aunty did not have the slightest doubt.
The next episode has to be the most hilarious one , it involved the subject locking up a friend in the balcony , almost ransacking someone else's house and swearing all the time that 'I am fine , F.I.N.E fine .. " I should also mention that we had a movie to catch after that , and on the way also caught up with a lot more confessions from the subject very much to our amusement.
A long and happening day, that had completely drained out this person and a friend suggested a drink , the subject's first ever .A baby's dose , as termed by mr. bartender , but enough to make sure our subject was tipsy and drove the rest out of the house with "you will have to get out now !!"
There is also the case of a friend who in a royally washed out state was kinda violent , kicking the poor soul who carried her , and throwing the bucket at the rest of us.Well , the acts of violence did end with few hugs though :D
It is pure entertainment for those watching , I still remember when a friend had a sip or 2 of kerosene mistaking it for something else !Not much fun though when the person is all quiet with a look that says "just dont come anywhere close to me or talk to me" . This guy never admits it , but me and a friend can very much imitate this pose and look ! Another friend was quite a bit out after few drinks at a party and would just not let us drive him home , he was adamant on biking along while the rest of us just kept praying .
A lot more incidents that flash across now , more later . .... :)

Ugly Aur Pagli , neither actually. Watched this one last weekend , expectations were quite high , something along the lines of Pyar Ke Side Effects and it was such a damn squib comparatively.Well , the comedy was damn good in most parts , the expressions of the lead pair , especially Ranvir , just priceless but then I thought we needed something more concrete to hold all this in place . Perhaps a script . Some of the reviews on this movie have claimed this is a remake (read copy) of My Sassy Girl , I haven't watched that one but would like to believe it was a better original.
Nevertheless it was entertaining at times despite the absolutely-not-needed-and-pathetic-songs .My eyes were more glued to the awesome and smart bags Ms.Sherawat carried ;) Oh yea , if you are wondering about the 99 slaps bit as in the promos , it pretty much lives up to that mark , I was actually wondering if the guy had become immune to them after a while !!
