I Had
‘Bhang’ On Holi And This Is Exactly How It Felt
Bhang,
the idea sounds fun, what’s more fun is the after effects of it. In
the first hour of consuming bhang, you feel like you’re immune to
all the intoxication. You curse the quality of bhang and your
body’s capacity to accept bhang so gracefully. But the moment bhang
effect starts affecting you, the real fun begins.
All
you people with heavy heads, who can’t concentrate on their work
and are trying to figure out what happened on holi, this is how I
felt and I assume you experienced this too
1.
It all started
when the time slowed down
I realized this especially when I tried to climb up the stairs. I
wondered how many floors I climbed, coz the steps looked never
ending.
2. Third person’s voice started ringing in the background. It felt
like someone was talking from the back of my head
And I soon realised it was my voice (This made me wonder why I took
hours to speak one sentence, and sounded so
funny?).
3. I was tempted to eat something in particular and travelled many
kilometers just to calm my craving
The travelling was not easy and I don’t remember half of it, but it
was all worth it.
4. I have no idea how I reached my destination, coz I was busy
snapping in and out of reality. Also, there were times when I
couldn’t feel my legs.
I vaguely remember reaching there, but how I managed to get there
without breaking my bones? My friend only knows.
5. I held the corner of my friend’s t-shirt throughout my “high on
bhang session” Because I knew I would conk off any moment. I
simply couldn’t stand straight. I was all sloppy and
wiggly.
6. Ate all the food like a beggar starving for 10 days straight.
Had no idea why and how? But simply wanted to eat the entire
world’s food in that moment, Went to multiple restaurants to
find cheap food with big portions. I feel my dead taste buds today,
obviously because my mouth was stuffed with hot food.
7. The moment I snapped back into reality, I just wanted to go home
and sleep .
Tried to figure ways to go home, but was soon snapped out of
reality.
8. It all felt like a movie as if I was constantly inside a movie
screen theater with a 3D film going around.
Had absolutely no idea where the bass was coming from. The movie
was definitely in slow motion.
9. Smiled non-stop. Looked at random strangers and smiled. Simply
smiled at anything and everything I came across ....I have no idea
why? Though I’m glad, because I haven’t smiled like that in
ages!
10. Bhang day’s
reflection is in my eyes. That messed up ‘after stoned’ look, looks
like I had one helluva time on Holi
I’m simply
screaming in my mind, “I had the best Holi ever; though I don’t
remember most of it”
11. Next morning I checked my phone for all the calls and messages
that were exchanged in my stoned state, to get the hang of
things I simply can’t remember when all the calls and WhatsApp
messages happened? When did anything in general
happened?
Can’t stop asking myself questions like, “When did that happen?”
“Did that happen for real?” “Was it real or are you just
dreaming?”
The bhang trip took me to another world where everything
looked and felt like Nolan’s films. It was risky, but I definitely
had the time of my life.
What about you?
