Need For Speed

I wont get into the specifics of how the bhaang plan popped up,but only that 4 out of us 7 OK'ed it.Though,it was a first-time for all of us.One claimed he knew,how a bhaang-thandai was prepared and he took charge to prepare it.Another round of holi-hai in the balcony,sipping the vicious thandai.No effect,all fine.
We then settled down after a short session of gaana-bajaana.Someone shouted,"More thandai left,without bhaang.Anybody?"All had a glass each of it.That,I was later told,was the fatal blow;it's advisable to keep off sweet stuff,once on bhaang.As the thandai glasses went empty,the world turned upside-down,literally.

Suddenly,it began to seem as if things had slowed down terribly.I could locate every facial muscle of mine move,as I spoke. It seemed impossible to finish even a single sentence without laughing,or at least it appeared so.I had begun to stammer,or at least I thought so.I asked,if I was stammering,to the other,sane guy.And I kept asking it every 2 minutes(At least I thought I was doing it that frequently).I was told that I was not.

We suddenly realised that we were hungry;very hungry indeed;needed to go to a restaurant nearby.It took people around 2 hours to get ready.The clock however suggested it took 5 mins.

"I can't drive",I declared.I realized,people drive very rash on holi.Vehicles overtaking us were being dangerously close to us.I cautioned my un-bhaang'ed room-mate who was driving to be careful and he simply laughed.He thought it was funny.
It took way too longer for us to cover the usually 5-minute drive.I tried recalling the time when we started from the flat,and I couldn't.It really must have took us very long.

Once,at the restaurant,someone placed order and we waited for food to arrive.The hunger was kiling.Some voice from the above suggested that tasting somthing like a pickle would immediately let go the effect.Two of us attacked the achaar bowl and had finishd it in about a minute.I tried recalling if someone had placed order but could not.I was told the order had been placed and I should relax.Everyone's working terribly slow today,I concluded.

Finally food arrived and we threw ourselves on it.The clutter of spoons and forks coming from the other table had grown unbearbly loud.I thought of complaining,but was too hungry to afford a break from eating.

I asked for a jug of water to be passed from the other end of the table but no one listened.I looked expectedly at the guy next to me and he nodded;somehow no one could listen to me.But he did listen.
Managed to finish lunch and drove back.The bill for a lunch of 7 was what otherwise should have been for 14,we were later told.I did start driving but somehow by the time we reached the apartment,I was at the pillion seat,or was it the other way round.
As all returned and settled down,I started having a feeling but I was too unsure how to say.I was feeling hungry.Again.I fell to bed and immediately dozed off.
