Summer part 1

There's always a huge list of things that you plan to do with your friends "this" summer. Somehow, it never happens. Summer activities don't root themselves in the plans made during the pre-exam season. And for good reason too. During the pre-exam period you're too mentally drained to come up with something worth doing. You unintentionally plan bad. Most of summer is lazed away and hardly anyone regrets that fact. Anyways, I remember one bad plan that we had planned out for the summer of 2003.
One day during an ill-fated Wednesday mid-day break, Saed is bubbling like an egg almost boiled, he's got a plan. " Yaar tum logon nay wo movie dekhi hai? Simone?"
Stating the obvious we all say "No"
"Yaar bari fit hai, Al Pacino hai (at this point Saed gets the acceptance-nods from everyone) aur pata nai bohot fit bachi bhee hai uss mein (at this point Saed gets rapt, undivided attention)"
"Tau bus phir theek hai, we're watching this movie, saath beth ke, bara maza aye ga"
Bara maza indeed.
We didn't go through with this plan that summer. But all of us did watch the movie on our own at some point during summer. And everytime anyone watched it, they did think about this ill-fated plan of Saed's and laughed "hahah Hum ne YEH movie dekhni thee?!" .. but no one brought it up hahaha. I've held my peace for long enough.
Somethings, like most things, are better left undone. One should best sweat and play soccer and sneak out at odd hours of the night and go to gas-station shops to grab snacks or the ever reliable cock and bull street. Lahore is the greatest city in the world. You can't starve no matter what the time is. Only Lunar-month matters.
