    ‘I have been there once, Shrey. It’s nothing great,’ I said and almost immediately wanted to take back my words.
    ‘Not great? Are you nuts? The softness, the melt-in-the-mouth texture … oh man! It is awesome, dude. You have to develop a taste for mutton kebabs and that takes time.’
    It had been barely three months since Shrey had gone non-vegetarian, but he thought I, the hard-core non-vegetarian Bengali …
I
needed to
develop
a taste for mutton?
    ‘By the way, Vernita was looking for you,’ he said and left for the place he thought had the best kebabs. Poor Vandana, she would have to agree with him too.
    Vernita completed the core trio. All three of us were nerdy enough to drag ourselves to a decent engineering college but non-nerdy enough (by choice or by nature) to be suffocated by it. However, it helped that the Delhi College of Engineering wasn’t loaded in favour of people who studied until their eyeballs popped out or in. All three of us perennially envied the lives of students in non-professional colleges. The grass is always greener, prettier and hotter on the other side of the fence.
    The other side of the fence was Delhi University’s North Campus—the place with the highest number of pretty faces per square mile.
    Vernita was my only female friend left who didn’t mind my presence. Usually, I either ended up dating or disgustingly hitting on my female friends with disastrous resuslts. Vernita and I had come close to doing it once but I realized it was just me! Shenever had those intentions. It’s the same story over and over again. Damn!
    Vernita was really short and good-looking. She had a long face with sharp, pointed features accentuated by her creamy white complexion. However, what stood out was her loud and overtly sexy sense of style. She was like those seductresses in animated movies who wore black dresses with
really
long slits.
    Let’s just say that nature had been very kind to her. The voluptuous Indian curves and gorgeous features that she was endowed with were the reasons why we became friends in the first place. Shrey, for the first few days in college, had stalked her like a maniac. She was too hot to be ignored. Eventually, both of us had stammered and stuttered our way into her life, though she made it clear that neither of us had any chance with her and that she thought we were jerks.
    She had a history of boyfriends and a couple of pregnancy scares in the past. I tried to hit on her during first year but she was too smart for my unpolished charms and unflattering looks. It is always easy being the second or the third boyfriend. Making the girl shed her inhibitions the very first time is such a pain! The
It’s-okay-everybody-does-it-you’re-not-a-slut
routine takes a lot of effort and patience.
    Nevertheless, I found her endlessly charming. Vernita had perfected the art of verbal abuse, which I still hadn’t. Since I didn’t drink, I just had to learn to abuse. Failing at
both
meant that you were socially ill-equipped.
    ‘Hey, going out somewhere, dick?’ she asked.
    She wore a white Esprit T-shirt that clung to her best assets. A slight rip and the tee would have split all the way down the middle. Her skinny Levi’s showed off an ass a million girls would kill for. She hadn’t missed going to the gym a single day in the last three years and it showed—her body-fat percentage was abysmally low. I was lucky to see her every day and unlucky to have seen her only with her clothes on. A sight like her was a rare thing in an engineering college such as ours.
    ‘No plans for the day,’ I said.
    ‘Why so?’
    ‘My attendance is a little short, so I’ll attend classes. I am leaving for Mishra’s class. Coming?’
    ‘Obviously. You are not the only one with short attendance here.’
    Strangely enough, every year the most worthless kids found their way into the mechanical department, and were tortured
