My friends and I love to have inane conversations. Sanity is chucked out of the window when I am with my chums. It's a different matter that the word 'sanity' sounds very unfamiliar to me in the first place!
Anyway, as I was saying, when I am chilling out with my friends, we have discussions and even fights on the corniest of topics. Some of our recent discussions have been:
How many sons will Laloo Prasad Yadav's twelfth son have?
Do the Aussie cricketers score more runs or mouth more abuses?
In MPKDH, which Prem did we do more nafrat with?
Why wasn't Boom titled Boob?
When we are not jabbering gobbledydook, we are constantly waging bets. Mohammed Azharuddin, don't get excited! Our bets are morally and legally all right!
The other day, when we were lazing out at Barista, my friend said, ''Raj, fifty bucks says that a thing which is both hot and cool.''
''So simple, me!''
''Nahin yaar, baju mein mandir hai. Jhooth toh mat bol.''
''Hmm ... then ... umm ... I don't know.''
''Duffer! Can't you see what I am wearing? A Tantra T-Shirt!
I looked at my friend's T-Shirt and liked it so much that I decided to buy five T-Shirts immediately. Why five did you ask? That's the effect of having too many pesticides aka Cokes, which remind you of not Madhuri's 'Ek do teen', but Paanch!
''Welcome to Shoppers' Stop. Customers are reminded of our special sale on Tantra T-Shirts on the first floor. Thank you.''
I got delirious on hearing about the sale. After all, which Sindhi does not like sales ?!
''Sir, what do you want?'' My heart caused a flutter. The attractive salesgirl proved that she had brushed her teeth in the morning by flashing her thirty-two pearls. ''Wow!'' I exclaimed. ''I am sorry, sir, but we do not have any item called 'Wow'.'' ''Er ... I mean ... er ... nothing. Could you give me paanch Tantras?'' Five minutes later, she appeared from the 'Crossword' section and handed me a book. The title of the book was Panchatantra.
After convincing that I didn't want to read stories about monkeys because I already knew everything about myself, she guided me to the Tantra section and said, ''Please select.''
''Er ... could I have the black one, the white one, the blue one, the red one and you?''
I wonder why she clasped her hands together, rotated them around in a circle and giggled as if she was Shah Rukh Khan. Eventually though, the Shoppers' Stop refused to let her go and I had to make do with the T-Shirts. And although they may be nothing compared to her, they are still hot and cool simultaneously!
So what's so special in the Tantra T-Shirts which defy thermodynamics?
Fabric: The coolest fabric possible. Voltas, Carrier and Samsung A/C's have a new competitor!
Colours:Available in all the basic shades like blue, black, white, red. Black has always remained a personal favourite though!
Designs: The USP of these T-Shirts. And by USP, I do not mean Ulta Sulta Pulta! Wacky, innovative, trendy. Even A.K. Hangal would look young and hep in these!
Usage: Another plus-point. While you can wear these T-shirts for casual wear, they can also be used while you slug it out on the field. I have always used these T-shirts while playing table-tennis, hoping that the opponent always looks at the T-Shirt's slogan and loses his concentration! Also, perfect for wearing them with a complementing over-shirt, these T-Shirts are truly multi-purpose!
Price: Priced at an economical Rs.250, this one is a grab!

So amazing is this T-Shirt, that many celebrities are considering endorsing it.
Sachin Tendulkar: None of these T-Shirts are Ailaa! plain. Go get it!
Shah Rukh Khan: He-he-he-hey T-t-t-t-t-t-Tantra haan! The best one is in black which is the only colour I wear! Aur vaise bhi, k-k-k-k-k-kaun k-k-k-k-kambaqht bardaasht karne ko peeta hai? After all, one of these T-Shirts proclaims that 'beauty lies in the eyes of the b-b-b-b-beer holder, haan!'
Sunny Deol: (screaming) Suno Desh Vaasiyon! Yeh T-Shirts ke slogans Hindustan ke hain! Hamaari Bharat maata ke hain!
Dharmendra: Kutte kamine, agar tune yeh T-Shirt mujhe nahin dee, toh mein tera khoon pee jaoonga. Fir tum mar jaaoge. Then, police coming. Me going jail. And then, me chakki pissing and pissing and pissing!
Dev Anand: Mein hoon 81 ka, lekin pretend karta hoon that I am 18 till I die! That's why I love these T-Shirts which make me look so young! Thank you, Raj for gifting me these. By the way, do you have a sister who would like to act in my latest film ...?
