I’m Just Being Manan

2 of my friends - Chirag Jain & Sunil Shah were involved in the Drunk Driving Mishap that happened last night at Goregaon in Mumbai. I knew that there was a n accident that happened but the fact that it was my friends was brought to my notice a few minutes ago. Though their lime-light has been stolen by a Sikh group that has attacked MTV’s office.

Chirag Jain & Sunil Shah both were with me in college - Thakur Polytechnic during my Diploma. Sunil still happens to be in the same college I go to for Engineering. Sunil & me know each other, but, Chirag is a really good friend of mine.

Me and Chirag had teamed up for a National Non-Technical Presentation and not surprisingly (seriously) won the first prize. We have also been together at a lot of other presentation competitions, again winners, off course!

According to news, a liquor bottle was found in the car that points to a case of drunk driving. Chirag however has been let off by the police as he was not driving. Really really lucky I must say. He is from a well to do family and his father is a very successful businessman, not much known is known about Sunil Shah ‘coz most of what he said was considered as untrue-bragging about himself just to make himself look cool. Feel bad for him.

Both these guys had an exam today morning and that is why both were studying together when they must have decided to go on a drive or were something and this happened.

Chirag & me also gymed together and have amongst us some wacky memories. Ironically, Chirag had given me a call on the 14th, a day before the unfortunate accident & I did not receive the call for some reason, maybe divine intervention, I think these guys were unlucky, if and I say if I were there this might not have happened. Not ‘coz I am a great driver or something, but because I don’t drink.

As of now Chirag’s phone is switched off, now that he is a celeb in his own rights, will be receiving tons of calls from all over the world. Damn! those Sikhs, couldn’t they have chosen some other day for the attack?

Here is a link of the story on IBN-Live.

UPDATE: Spoke to Chirag just now, he is out & Sunil too is out on bail, apparently the media is faking the stuff of there being 5 people, it was only these 2 in the car, Chirag was not drunk, according to him.
