The Bhang effect. It's strange. But different.!


I and a friend studied about Bhaang which is prepared from the leaves of the cannabis plant. Wikipedia did helped us know every stuff about it.I was sure I would try it some day. May be it would be great. Well, I am intoxicated now in effects. Bhang is considered holy and is taken in North India in festivals like Holi, where they are used to party!

Today was the day I again tried it. This evening I was studying and went out with my friend to try it.

So we finally tried it in the market. We went to a bhangwala and said - "Bhaiya, do do rupaye ka bhang dijiye with a bit of rabdi." He served cool, finely ground leaves and we got a smooth drinking experience. I got no effects within an hour. The real fun started just after one and a half hours. I noticed many effects, which were real Euphoria.

It was so euphoric, that I wanted to record it then. I became desperate to write them down as soon as possible, or I could forget. It was like out of the world euphoria. That was always new to you, and you will think, this moment seems the last, you are being taken to a newer world and you are bidding good bye to a planet that's powered by Newton's rules. You have a couple of short term memory loss moments. You will forget how you got to this place. I mean, you will forget what you were the  last moment, before arrivng at a place. At few times, I noticed I was in balcony and in the next moment I would be participanting in the family talks.

I noticedd myself talking to my sister and parents, which I generally avoid. I was cracking jokes and passionately talking everyone at home. Most of the time I have found myself not able to socialize with them properly. But that day I talked to my hearts content.I generally didnt like Maggi's Noodles from childhood, and had been avoiding it, though my sis used to have regularly. Bhang makes you so hungry that you become quite unsenstitive to taste. You will find a lot of things that tasted awful, taste good. I quickly gobbled up the whole noodles served to me and asked for more, to everyone's astonishment.

I even called the lovely girl, whom I have a crush on, and am like become-dumb-when-you-see-her. But today I talked to my hearts content, of many of the unexpressed riddles hidden my heart, housing my love for her. It was once in a blue moon that I would have interacted in the same way I do in the dreamworld. Well I am a bit half-nerdy half-geeky person. As expected I can't make any conversation interesting. I fail to arrive at topics that will extend the converation. I often arrive at topics that will shut it down. So, talking to her in such a note surprised me. This was the first time she laughed from her heart and it was an applause for the struggling artist like me who is trying hard to entertain his lady love. She was finally entertained after a series of many failure conversations; one was just the day before. Her voice seemed equally lovely or I'd say that day I didnt wish to stop talking to her, in contrast to other days when I was really nervous and wanted to stop talking.It was a great experience indeed of one of the untried things.

It makes you so crazy and confident that I wrote all these while I was still intoxicated. The feeling of Euphoria is great. And people do get addicted to it. In case of Bhang, its cool for a day you want to relax. But don't try it during exams, cause it will not let you study. 
Try it!

Test

This funny incident happened to one of my friends from another DC.

I bumped into him at Kolkata's South City mall. We boarded a metro train to Esplanade and he described all about this girl on the way.

***
I was at a food court early morning for tea. She was there at a corner table having her cappuccino.
I had been seeing her almost everyday at the same table, at the same time with the same drink. The only reason I used to watch her was that she looked like one of my ex-girlfriends whom I had dearly loved.

It's true that it is 2013 and not 1993. Love doesn't happen the way it used to in those days. Today, we do not need to stalk the girl we like and ultimately get a chance to talk to her. Today we just do not fall for someone we do not know. We start conversations directly on WhatsApp. We share pics. We fix dates. We meet. We chat more. Go on some more dates. And then a few months down the line we have a new girlfriend. Bingo!

Having a crush, wanting to talk to her and yet not getting a chance, trying hard and using common friends to find out her number, getting the number but not having the guts to call: these things have become history.

I don't know how but after a long time and half a dozen not-working relationships, I had fallen for this girl the 90's way.

I didn't know anything about her except that she was also working in the same company (which was quite an obvious thing).

I realised that it isn't a movie and nothing good will happen to me if I just be a silent spectator.

I started thinking about how I could talk to her. I had to figure out a way soon, or just watch her until a job switch or marriage or transfer would take her far away from me.

I glanced at her once. She was beautiful, was quite fair and had an innocent look on her face.
