PURPLE HAZE:The Voice In Your Head!!!

I have noticed lately that once in a while on one of the Fridays the voice inside my head starts chanting PH PH PH, Well to begin with every fridays post lunch office hours we friends start inundating each others mailbox asking each other about “the plan” for Friday evening. Few suggestions, few cribs, few new ideas all are well discussed through chain of mails. Its fun to watch my friends analyzing every word every mail, but given the music taste of our group most of the time we don’t decide on anything but we all know within our self that where there is no way there is just PH way. Yeah PH is acronym for Purple Haze the greatest single pub to influence our group’s life on Friday in Bangalore. You have to be here to understand the meaning of these words to me. Its summary it is repeat playlist of songs from Metallica, Pinkfloyd, Iron Maiden, Guns n Roses, Dire Straits, Audio Slave and so many others. These songs keep my alive, put me to sleep and make me smile...

But to begin with there is a nice small history with purple haze. Any guest who comes to Bangalore or US or from any where else(this time it was KLPD from South Korea)…Friday or Saturday night we go there only and take this guest with us to pay the bill. its like Purple haze understand ours needs for booze and music. Mostly we order two-three rounds of beer and then start ordering whisky with soda and ice clubbed with French fries, sandwiches. At this point of time I would also like to mention that we have evolved our self in PH drink wise.. There was a time when a mere thought vodka and lime cordial on the shadow of ear piercing hard rock music use to hypnotize us and we used land up at PH. Now its the thought of whisky and the PH. So boys have become men. Also I have seen initially that there were people who used to jus head bang and now those people sing and head bang.


So last night we were there and we had a gala time. My friend Diode was totally out and so were many people. I somehow escaped for a change, somehow managed to keep myself in my senses. Then we had one friend nicknamed “horny” (cant remember his real name) who came from Hyderabad and I don’t know the issues in his life that well. But he jus kept on doing bottoms up mug after mug. On average we all had 4 large whisky and were “HAPPY”. Head banged a lot on every song be it metallica, audioslave , ac/dc or linkin park…My neck it still aching. In the final moments the whole table area turned into mayhem. Diode climbing up in the table and head banging, hugging every waiter and so on and so forth. Ok the special little thing about the last night was the number of glass and bottles we broke. I cant remember us breaking so many of them in past. And the best part was that we used to hug each other for our mistakes. Anyways I jus wanted to blog this incident so that some time in future I can read this blog and remember this night and smile a bit:)
