what are you doing? asked gauri. Danny replied, you know I was doing a-pin, but he went away. I just use my hands. Dude I din ask you that. What are you doing in this snow.
Gauri, bro you might think am crazy but... he told him his purpose, and gauri caught his chest, he could not believe Danny was trying to do something no man dared, a mere thought of which sent extra chills down, if it was even possible in a minus ten degree weather. Wish you all the very best, drop by Ms.Chen. Is that her name? Dude whats the probability her name is not Chen? Shes from China.
Danny trudged off towards Chen's apartments. She had lived in Chapin for 25 years and some say she knew the darkest secrets of Stony Brook, stuff even Danny himself did not know. Little did Danny know about what he would learn at Chen's place. How he would wish he never came to know any of that.
So, you dare to do what a dozen men have tried to do and lost their lives? Yes of course, I lost my love, and probably I might win him back if I achieve this.
Hmm, sit down I ll bring you some coke and chopsticks. No just juice is fine.
She went in and after ten minutes came out with just the chopsticks. What is this?
Dint u ask just for the chopsticks? No I said just juice, now I dont want anything.
You are weird Danny, how ll u have juice without chopsticks?
Ya, am kinda crazy, please bear with me, but can you tell me what you know about Chapin? About Stony Brook? I think it will help me in my journey.
Hmm, are you sure you want to hear? Danny:yes please can you please stop the KBC sure confident thingy? it ll be summer soon, at the pace we r going.
Okok.. I came here as an undergrad student, I studied computer science like most of the students here. I attended on campus placement and became the incharge of Chapin computer lab. Oh thats pretty cool, offered Danny. The irritation in his tone was palpable. He dint wanna know about all this.
Chen chose to ignore, and continued. Ever wondered why I ve stayed put in Chapin for the last 25 yrs? I ve not gone to China in couple of decades, not even when I missed Szechuan rice. I came across this guy VD from India who has very fine Szechuan sauce.
Arre Yaar, please? Danny stood up to leave.
Chen smiled, and said, do you know the sprinklers switch on themselves? for the last 20 yrs, whoever has tried entering the sprinkler control room has never returned.
The sprinklers speak only to me.
Danny's jaws dropped and he sat down to listened.
To be continued...

richard
he was pissed off. we needed to talk but I was just not finding time. New university, new friends never got time alone, the poor thing had waited quite a while for some action. He would be devastated if he heard what I was about to tell him.
one fine friday evening, I got some time to myself and opened up.
"was a good day haan", i started, half expecting him to not even bother replying. He had a pensive look about him, and said, "doesnt make a difference to me, I dont give a damn".
"Ah, dont be la dat", I said, "We ve been together since the time I can remember, am sorry, you ve always stood up for me whenever I ve needed you." "Yet you ve always looked down upon me", he shot back. "Thats cos of how your placed!".
"And thats supposed to console me? HOW".
"When we came to Stony Brook, you promised me there ll be so much action, I should have guessed. knowing the retard you are, 'action' referred to volleyball, soccer and an overdose of physics."
"Listen I got to tell you something important."
"Why am I not curious? You got into yet another of your stupid puppy-loves?"
"Ah, shut up and listen, theres not gonna be much this semester am afraid. I know we had lofty dreams, about the promised land, but, Stony Brook is probably not that great a place"
"can u please repeat after me?", he said.
"f", "F", "a", "A"? "g", "G".
"what do you get?"
"Ah comeooon, dont give me that shit, you really want me to misuse you?"
"nono we r cool, be a sanyasi I dont care, I ll console myself that the day will come soon"
"Attaboy!, I said, I ll make it upto you ok? new site everyday, Jugal's promised me a full harddisk"
"yaya whatever"
"if we keep a low profile this semester we might get into some really really big univ and we gonna make up for all the years of our youth. Those univs actually have happening parties everynight am told."
"hope my mechanism works till then", he said and smiled. I held him tight and as we usually did, entered fantasyland, the future, that promised so much, yet elusive, was, just a couple of semesters away, we told each other. And we believe it.For he cant live without me, and I cant without him happy.

danny ocean---part 1
Danny Ocean, as his name suggests was this regular 21 year old from India, who had come to Stony Brook for his Masters.
He was a quietish kinda guy, with a really queer sense of humor. This story is about one hell of a weird day in his life based sometime in the near future. Its about how a man can go to any extent and make any sacrifice to get what he wants.
I was January and fucking cold. Ocean sat down brooding his break up with his best friend A-pin. They had met just 3 months back. A-pin was also from the same province back in India and even spoke the same language. They took the same courses, ate from the same plate, slept in the same..well you get the idea. The only thing that was not cool was, they were also the same gender.
His best friend Hurry had always warned Ocean about not getting too committed. But as they say love is blind. A-pin cheated on Ocean, that too with a girl.
How I wish Hurry was around, thought Ocean, Hurry someone seemed to know the right thing. Hurry was back in India, far away, in warmer climes.
Thats when he decided, he needed direction in life, he was going to do what no man in his right senses had done before. If he did succeed his campaign would be compared to the conquests of the one and only Roald Amundsen.
Things were not going to be easy, he knew that. The whole thing required strategy and careful planning. And secrecy was very important. He desperately needed a confidante who could tell him what to do, but Hurry who was really awesome, was far away at home.
Lets cut to the day, the events took place. He wore the ski gear he had bought with the awesome amounts of money he had made. Oh wait I totally forgot, Ocean's annual turn over was more than the profits Bill Gates made. And he made this money working just 20 hrs a week. How come you might ask, well noone knows, but if you knew Ocean you wouldnt be surprized. He knew how many spoons kelly quad had, or how many steps were there in Tabler Steps. He knew what vegetable's oil was used in the vegetable oil bus. I could go on and on but that can wait for another day, for Ocean is now ready to achieve.
As he came out of his room, he ran into Gauri. Abbe kuthe, why r wearing so many clothes? Ocean couldnt waste time. But Gauri was probably his only contact with the fairer sex and hence he couldnt put him down. "Dude my harddisk has crashed again", what again?aan "but i have a fucking iphone" Ya dude thats pretty coolaan. "Ocean where are you going, i said I have an iphone." 2B continued
