People who know me would think that my first HIGH would have been waaayyyy back in another era, but they are wrong as probably both the G-man and kurupz know, due to the very stupid fact that nobody taught me to smoke properly before last year, not that i didnt smoke before that, but there was this simple fact that i used to take the smoke into my stomach instead of my lungs and somehow i used to feel pretty good after about say 10.........million cigarettes, therefore technically speaking my first high came about during our much publicized "industrial visit" ( I.V. for short), heres how it went about........
Our I.V. was to hyderabad bangalore and goa as usual, and of course we never did any actual industrial visiting along the way due to the simple fact that we completely forgot the purpose of the trip the moment the train left the station. So we reached Hyderabad and that is where the above mentioned epic moment occured. We were staying at a .5 star hotel ( which had many extra facilities like no running water and broken toilets etc) and ofcourse it had the most important facility of all a well stocked BAR. and i had this huge urge to have my first hot drink and as there was nobody there to stop me i went with the rest of the drunks and sat down at a table in the bar and when the waiter came along i had already decided what to have, a gin and tonic ( as i had heard somewhere that it contained only 30 % alcohol) and just as i was about to give my order he said very dutifully that there was no waiting at the tables you had to get the drinks directly from the counter by yourself and so we all trooped to the counter and ordered what we wanted and everybody paid for themselves ie naturally i ended up paying for about half the others directly or indirectly. then i took it back to the table and decided to see what the other seasoned drunkards were doing and proceeded to copy them, i put some ice cubes (3 if i remember correctly) and then drew a plate of pickle towards me called out a loud "CHEERS" and then touched glasses with everybody then drank the whole glass in one single gulp, it was the most wonderfully horrifying sensation of my life, it felt as if my whole inside was on fire from my throat to my intestines, and the only thing i wanted to do was throw up, but i controlled the feeilng and then thought about it clearly.... do i feel something?, is there any difference in my state of mind? and i found out that there was no difference, i felt let down, this was not what i had expected!!!! so i decided that i would have another one and had it, this time i took it down in two gulps and it was better than last time but the only problem was that i wasnt feeling anything close to what people used to call a HIGH so i had another one and another one and then suddenly and gloriously it came! MY FIRST HIGH !!!! i thought later because i could not think anything then, it felt like a bus had hit me from behind, guess that is what they meant by "
kick" felt more like being hit from behind !!!! but then i somehow managed to drink a beer, a small rum, a large brandy and another beer afterwards....
I could hardly keep my eyes open from then on, i dont know how i made it back to my room and because all the other guys in my room where against drinking i ended up calling all of them fucking ass holes and being forced to sleep on the floor with a briefcase for a pillow, and ofcourse i need not tell you that when i woke up in the morning i had a gigantic HEADACHE!!!! just couldnt stand it and so i had something to eat and took 2 or 3 paracetamols and climbed onto the tour bus and by noon my headache had gone and i was already planning what to drink that night.... !!!!
