Sleeping is bliss , and blisser thy shall be when you have a naked chick lying next to you. I guess Einstein proposed theory of relativity after sleeping with a chick and decided to lie to his audience. So much for Science never lies eh ?

9.00 am :

A pendulum clock is irritating. Particularly when its bells go Gong Gong every hour. Add to that a hangover. That's like an ideal combination for a really really sad start to day's play . More like how indian cricket team plays on foreign turfs on day1. Disaster would be an euphemism.

10.00 am :

Mumbai is a dope sellers' paradise. The city is filled with urine filled streets give you the normal guys , a nauseating smell which actually is a major turn on for peddlers. I went into Jimmy's for a refill . The place was mobbed by people. Monday is the start of the week. Fresh faces go to office . Productivity is more according to scientists.But, I didnt' know the weed business was part of the monday morning blues! Jimmy was acting like Mr. Bill gates of Microsoft trying to push more on a few innocent peddlers . Steve Jobs probably modeled apples' supply chains based on this guy . He had 85% Mumbai covered with his green magic! I waited for the crowd to recede before making a buy. I decided to move in big . With the monsoon season coming in , I had to stock up good .


5.00 pm :

Juhu beach was slowly becoming my area of control . I had the college men stoned pretty much for the better part of their evening.I was more or less an innocent face in the crowd , not many eyes noticed me . It did make my job easier.....until.......

The Mortetti's guide to Galaxy

" Yeah Yeah " came Ushers' voice out of the blaring speakers . I walked in,step by step ,feeling the air like a movie star minus the tuxedo.The bar was not all that bad.People were proving why mankind is the most desperate of the lot.The lucky ones danced with the chicks and the unlucky ones with the ones with fewer holes.

Assoles they say put their hands up in the air and announce their presence .The room was filled with plenty of those(no pun intended).Black people with white chicks,white with brown , brown with brown . The place was a racists' haven.I started my search.To put it in Paulo Coehlo's words I was looking for the 'light' on any girl.

The fragrance of hers filled up my nostrills leaving me craving for more.As she whizzed past me,her hair's tantalizing aroma just jolted the little Romeo inside me from his long slumber.My visit to neverland was cut short with the smell of dead pigs (I realized Parekh might have just entered the bar or the street . )

Don Juan De Marco might not have been really proud of me.For I rehearsed lines to ask a prostitute out for bed.Forgive me Don Juan.I finally went next to her , smelt her again and realized that the smell must have been the neighbouring lady's.I had seen a fair share of Hollywood movies to know what exactly to do now.But before I could separate my lips to let out a few words . " Are you gonna ask me , whether I can buy you a drink or shall I take it for granted " she said. "Thanks.What shall I get you ? " .(This place was literally a sty.All they had was local stuff.Hollywood movies misguided you in some cases.)

"I am Mike" I said feeling like a porn star shooting for his next hunt." Jessy" came the reply. Avoiding any more hackneyed phrases and lines I went to the 'job' part of the deal . " Mine or do you have something in mind ? " "Yours....."

We entered my apartment through the creaking door and all the mice stopped playing hide and seek and set out for their holes.I could almost hear them cursing.Sorry guys,it is my night today.I took her to the bed,not the most romantic of the lot."Wham Bham Thank you maam" didnt' deserve much more than this.


half an hour later....

I picked up my sheets and slowly turned to the other side . I had lasted more than eleven minutes(Fuck you Paulo Coehlo). End of days had come 200 years earlier.

"Amazing" I said.

"Come again"came the reply.

"Hold on for two more hours , and I will " I said pulling the sheets closer.

" Oh really?How sweet" replied Jessy.(Salty rather)

Jessy was a hot name. I dont' know how names are hot.But they kind of ring a bell in you.Ring THE bell. Jessy Alba,Jessy Jane. Pretty hot names uh?

and just in case I didnt' mention she fell in that category.

Puffs of green smoke and we are back!!!!

Green Fairy is the closest thing to heaven on earth,except a nude Megan fox of course . What did all the religious texts preach? Multiply Happiness.Precisely what I did. Juhu beach needed some entertainment and it could do pretty well with some drugged mumbaikars.

The one thing about them is however drugged they are , they bathe regularly.Gujjus dont'. Lessons learnt hard tend to stay on forever. Parekh was my assistant in the business and he was as dumb as a stick .In short he was a complete package of stupidness wrapped in a really fat Seth body.God must have spent considerable time creating this one,because he was as dumb as Britney spears and as irritating as Ricky Ponting.. I was pretty sure a retarded cockroach could outwit him.But nothing,I stress nothing can beat his stench.Even my unwashed toilet pan couldn't.

We found an arcane location to put ourselves up along with the leaves and we smoked up all night long till my brains worked slower than a Pentium 1 machine. We generally hit the road at around 3pm - 4 pm when the crowd starts moving in gradually into Juhu . We used the Ville Parle entrance(it had less of police) and hung around till we spotted people who bought the stuff.

And things were on cruise mode till.......

Partners inc.

"Michael" I said stretching my hands to the guy oppsite to me.He was a bit tall,clean shaven with his hair trimmed properly.His eyes were piercing and had some sort of fire in them.
"Jimmy" he said shaking my hand.Wonder from where people rechristen themeselves like this.Names like Jimmy , Tommy are meant for dogs or pets in a broader prespective.
" JuJu told me about you.He has kind of vouched for you,lets say.So how much can you push?"offering me a cigarette which I accepted.
Is this group supposed to be the mafia or some sort of veterinary operation gang.Juju ?He must have felt like a dog throughout his life.
"Around a kilo a week to begin with.Maruijiana preferably.If that is O.K. with you ofcourse" I said keeping face impassive.Unemoted face can be a major asset when you were dealing with people like these.
" One Kilo?Thats cool with me."he said ,signalling the guy to get the stuff for me.I adjusted myself in the chair and took a deep puff.It was my moment of reckoning afterall.
The packet arrived and I welcomed it with both hands,trying hard to hide my excitement.
" Ill get back to you in a few weeks I guess"stretching out my hands.It was going to be a long partnership afterall..

@ the station,yet again!

"Let me get this straight.You screw it up or try to run away,you will be punctured by bullets.Do you understand ??"trying to sound arrogant.
I was expecting a "chilling" line like the Corleone's in the GodFather,but it was a disappointing threat.That was the most cliched line I have come across.Dude,Copy from the movies properly,and by the way you forgot the "Gun on my Forehead Part".

As I was trying to get some portion of my ass in the trade,I nodded my head in complete agreement,puffing casually as I took the packets from him.

20:25 , Dadar Railway Station

It was crowded like hell.To search for one soul here was like searching for an albino pigeon.You are almost fucked .I moved around searching for him slowly.There was a sea of people . Trains arrived and departed every third minute,which resulted in irritatingly high density of people per square feet.Trobules were trebling every passing minute as I scanned the crowd slowly.I spotted him,clad in black without the hand,the details matched.Our eyes met for a fraction of a second and that was more than enough.We moved towards each other swiftly ,my eys completely following each action of his.My hands moved across my pocket ,just to check the gun .We passed by , completing the trade in less than a minute .My hands feeling the stack of bills ,a smile just popped up on my face..The Deal was On..

Where do we start??

Sitting down on the couch,he offered me a cigarette.He had asked me to bring a sample of the coke I had ,it was in my pocket.We did a little and admired the quality .We then shifted focus to business.Ten minutes was going to decide my future.
"Reddy" he said reaching out his hand.(Fuck!!Gulti??Damnit!)
"Mike,Michael " shaking his hands.
"So this stuff ,where did you get it"
"Is this part of the business???"I shot back rather frustrated with his nosy questions.
"Chill man..Chill.. I have no problems with this pack.I am looking for a long term thing.Maruijana ,Coke.The cops will fuck us here totally if we are caught..So thinking still.?"directly into the business.

" I can do it if you want "jumping at the oppurtunity .

" How can I trust you??I mean who are you mate??.Don't expect me to be that dumb" was the reply


" Cool it.."It was my turn to cool him down.."We can have a try.Gimme a a pack.Will do it for you. I fuck the cops and get it done..We have a deal.Done?" Words came out at hurriedly.I wanted this badly.This was big money.No more urinated street corners and crappy places..

" Hmmm..Ok...Probably" he blurted.

"Where do we start???"

Welcome to the world..

He seemed to buy the story,but I knew I had to be fucking careful otherwise my intestines will be plucked and used as a memento.And common,I wanted a fair enough death.I didnt' give a fuck about all the Sins I did , and about what i am going to do.I had three meals a day,my stomach didn't complain.I lived in a world of my own.

04.15 am,the next day

The guy arrived.He was short with a pointed nose and not that clean shaven.I dropped the cigaratte and walked towards him.He wanted to buy that stuff,I was keen on moving it further.I pushed the deal further and told 50% cut and I join him.He looked at me cautiously doubting me if I was a cop.Hell,I came out of nowhere and suddenly handing him two kilos of coke,you are bound to get suspicious.I swore that I wasnt' a cop and got on the veichle.It was a Maruti Van ,( the movies were real!!!)They blindfolded me,and I went on cursing them.The driver was on a rampage sparing no time for the veichles on the opposite side.I could hear horns being romped incessantly.And then the veichle halted,slowly I began to suck in the atmosphere.It was pretty eerie,I was looking around like a lost child.I had just publically put my life for sale.And I entered the bar, looked around for signs of life.No one.I repeated the F word thrice mentally hoping for a change.Swalloing a huge chunk of saliva, I stepped inside the world .The world of MAFIA.

Acquistion,Anyone?

04.00 am,

My eyes were burning.Hell it was early morning 4 am man!!To be interrupted while sleeping is one of the most devastating things in Planet Earth.And for watching some sick bastard walk the street to drop some white crap, is like listening to Himesh Reshmmiya sing,that too when you are stressed out..I got up,dressed myself and lit a cigarette and walked to the street end.It was pretty dark,and I had this familiar feeling of watching a Horror movie.But fortunately,the sound effects were minimal.There was no water dripping from the pipes , and most importantly there was no dog howling and growling.I sat down by the road side,waiting for the person to arrive.

04.15 am,

Two guys walked to the shop and handed the man some stuff.Immediately I walked upto them.And out of nowhere they pulled their guns and pointed at me.

"Wait!" I screamed not realizing that it was stupid to ask for a break when they are trying to kill you.The Shopkeeper told the guys something and they didn't fire.I was intact still.

I told them about my possession of Coke and if they were interested in getting it.Obviously they weren't dumb enough to say "Yes Sir,We love Coke",they threw "Who the Fuck is he" look.
Almost immediately I blurted out " I came into hiding coz of the cops @ Madras.I was a trafficker there".

"Will talk to you tommorow ,same time ,same place" one of them replied


There goes my sleep again!
