The Crooner

I post on this blog after a very long time and I have but one bloke to thank for it, one young gentleman called Abhiroop.
Back in college, we used to pick on him endlessly and he was practically the butt of all our pranks. Even after repeatedly falling prey to our pranks, he was remarkably susceptible to fall for more, always giving us enough material to keep us occupied. Unfortunately for him, he had the misfortune of landing up in my class in grad school as well.
Well then, to last night, which is the one interesting experience I've had in the given genre since the last time I posted. Four of us gathered at my flat for a few drinks and a general chill out session. Abhiroop is a novice when it comes to drinking and like most novices, fails to hedge his bets! With only a glass of beer in him, Abhiroop began to display his ability at handling 'copious' amounts of alcohol. As four of us sat chatting, he excused himself to the call of nature and the rest of us continued our revelry, not paying much attention to his absence, which soon became rather elongated.
And as we carried on our carefree conversation, what do we hear? The faint, oh so 'sweet' sound of a male voice singing in full spirit and panache! And we wonder, is it the radio? Is it the TV? Is it the neighbour in an amorous mood?? NO, ITS ABHIROOP busy singing in the loo where he has been, probably all the while after he finished his business long ago!
Sadly his crooning was cut short by the detection of our presence outside the toilet door. What was the song he was singing?Quite ironically, "Jaane tu...ya jaane na!"(Translates literally to (for the anglicized reader:"Do you know? Or do you not?") .
I say this guy has a future in the business.
