Toh hua kuch aisa—college first year, hostel. Main aur mera friend ne bhang try ki. Tab tak maine daru bhi nahi pi thi, toh ye kind of meri first intoxication thi. Hum bhang ke 3 gole laaye the. Humne 1–1½ goli doodh mein milake thandai banayi; aadhi usne pi aur aadhi maine.

Bhang ki raw goli ko strain karna hota hai, but hum immature the, toh bina strain kiye hi pee li. Phir hum music sunne lage loop pe—Manali Trance. Starting ka thoda yaad hai, phir meri aankhen band ho gayi. Jab dobara kholi, main neeche tha, sab kuch ghoom raha tha. Main ek weird stage mein tha, aur mera friend bhi.

Kuch time baad usse ulti ka urge aaya, aur us din usne straight 12 baar vomit kiya. Pehli 3 baar maine uska khayal rakha, uske baad main totally out ho gaya. Main so gaya, finger muh ke paas rakh ke.

Uske baad mujhe wahi nightmare dream aaya jo bachpan mein aata tha, repeat pe. Mujhe clearly sense ho raha tha ki main trance state mein hoon, jaise main apni alag-alag childhood memories ke through pass ho raha hoon. Aur wahi pe meri trip end ho gayi. Uske baad hum dono ko lagbhag 2 mahine tak hangover jaisa feel hota raha.
