No part of my Bristol story would be complete if I don't mention about the people staying at Laxey. Yes they are my neighbours and probably the only other house I hang around within Bristol.
Laxey has kind of been a boys hostel, never in the history a girl staying there, so naturally is the epicenter of all the "only boys" talk, party, etc etc. If Bostonians are the kings of hospitality, Laxians are the kings of fun and excitement. There is not a day which will pass through without fun and laughter and obviously I am kind of lucky to be part of it too...
Traditionally it has had many people but let me introduce you all to the current Laxians..
Prashant
Vineet
Ashok
Amogh
Again I shall definitely write about all of em some time later, but as of now again just assume they are wonderful people.
Laxey is the place where all our delicious non-vegeterian dishes are cooked and Mr Vineet is the master chef. But Laxey thy name means Prashant. Hes the senior most amongst us but the good thing is that he doesnt have the air of a senior and is so sociable sometimes you wonder there are still some decent people around..For Prashant Laxey is in his breath, so when he speaks everyone knows that hes from 5 Laxey :-) And ya he takes care of the house bills and is the mass entertainer for all of us..Thus his nick name Mama (there are other reasons, but tatz too personal to print :-))
Then Ashok, hez a dude, I am yet to come across a more patient guy like this one but really really fun to be with. Very good at sports particularly cricket and never the one to be a spoil sport and I must admit he is a very very very very optimistic person good to have these days aint it ? And he always says "THIS YEAR ATLEAST..Liverpool will win"..Yes a hardcore liverpool fan and is telling this from the past 10 years..
Then comes Amogh, hes the new entry to Laxey and is an amazing cook (vegeterian only please) and a game freak, has turned much of the living room to a gaming parlour..good singer, god fearing man who does his prayers everyday, so kind of ideal you see..Yes yes..we do have good people amongst us ;-)
Then comes Mr Vineet...My most trusted and close fren...he has many nick names that personify many of his qualities..but the two names that everyone can recognise is Billa and Fundooo...Billa coz hez the chota Don...and Fundoo..coz of his philosophical dialogues to everyone...I can keep writing here coz I have had some wonderful time with him..but as for now think I shall keep it short...
But then there is the Omnipresent Junaith...He was part of Laxey before he had to move back to India...I still look forward to the day when he shall be back and we will have that old magic once again. Hes multitalented...guitarist...rock star..lyricist...not sure why he chose the IT field...his biriyani is still numero uno in Bristol...the times we had were just unbelievable...again as I usually say.."I just got lucky"
Laxians will always be special..the food festivals....12 to 13 hour on the trot carrom sessions....backyard cricket....diwali celebrations...theres so much of memory for a lifetime here....
Thank you Guys ! And you Rock !
