Shooting Stars.....A memory

This was some time ago. 2-3 years back the whole upp clan had a BBQ at east coast park, if memory serves me well it was after a soccer match, AND it was the last day of exams. Needless to say a monumental sum of alcohol was involved, in fact i marinated the chicken wings with Absolut Vodka! Exquisite. Well, the whole thing lasted from around 2pm? to 9pm? Throughout the course of it, much mayhem ensued. A wild dog came around and scared off nirmal, cabi was thrown and rolled about in the sand, etc etc. So while we were all walking back to the bus stop, i think it was bala, i, gomez (i think he was there), raman and a few others decided to test if cabi was drunk or not. So we promptly pointed to a flashing red light in the sky (anti-collision lights on a plane in actual fact) and shouted " EH CABI SHOOTING STAR LA!". His reaction? He promptly looked up and said "where?where?" (it took him quite some time to see that bloody obvious light in the sky.....) And when he finally managed to see it he replied "eh ya lar, shooting star!" And we were all like "WTF!AH!HA!HA!HA! FELLA IS HIGH MAN!" So we decided to try this out on another likely "high" person, suj. So we did the same thing to him and expected him to give us the same reply, unfortunately, this is wat he said (ok shouted to be exact) "SHOOTING MY BUNDE (bunde meaning "ass" in punjabi) STAR! ITS A PLANE!" It was not the expected reply, but it was HILARIOUS as hell! We still managed to deduce that he was "high" after he kept shouting instead of talking and kept on seeing his arch-nemesis gil raj all over the bloody place and wanting to, and i quote, "BREAK HIS FACE!" After that he started shouting at strangers and tried to pick fights. And then there was raman who called me spryt and sean, well sean (sean spryt is actually one person mind you and in this case he suddenly became two people). When we finally reached the bus stop, raman started freaking out about seeing ghosts an all since we were opposite our school, which is a rather famously haunted place. AND THEN bala and i had to take the same bus as cabi and raman, 13, as they were falling the hell asleep all over the place and we felt obligated to make sure that they at least got off at the proper bus stop, although taking this bus meant longer travelling times for us. I end this post now with something my dad always tells me, words of wisdom i tell you
"Drink, but don't get drunk."
