Please note that dominic's name keeps varying. If you find any name starting with the letters DOM, it refers to dominic.
Let us begin with Domas' Roce now. It was on 25th May. Friday 7.30 pm onwards in milagres hall. (rich guy. Conducting any kinda event in the house is below domingo's dignity).
We all guys from CH fraternity decided to meet up at 7. so my brother Roshan and I reached, with a bottle of Sula sparkling wine, at around 7.15. to my surprise, korpi canute was already there!!! There were other guys too: dj ray (he had to be there), ho(r)ney, jatin...
Domino himself was there to welcome the guests and friends, clad in a white shirt with dots and a pair of black trousers. Oh hell, how can I forget his big smile?
Soon other guys joined us: vernon, moras (his first name is preetham I think, don't remember for sure), cronin..
Unfortunately, pd (aka dawson), sanju (now alex), rohan lobo, glenn and gavin couldn't join us for various reasons.
Dombu's colleagues were there too, led by this jolly old chap called sushan. I've known this guy since childhood. And this fellow hasn't lost his pranksterhood even after being married (pretty strange, eh?). These guys had come with a cake. The cake was there not to be eaten, but to be beaten into domma's head.
And so the function started, pretty much on time. A prayer by two priests, one of them the parish priest of milagres church. Unfortunately, I am not able to remember his name now. After the prayer, younger priest read a chapter from the holy bible.
And then the 'roce' was blessed. And then domus was blessed by his parents and elders. All of us (guests) raised our hands to bless the not-so-young looking young chap domsy.
Domkey's brother david was his bestman. And for the roce, there were other chaps too (mal-dhedey in konkani), including ray.
After the initial religious proceedings, our folks changed into ordinary clothes, preparing for the roce. And so all the guests excluding his colleagues and CH fraternity blessed the broom.. Err.. Groom with roce.
And then it was sushan's gang's turn. They got the cake out and started smearing on domski's face. Meanwhile, cronin opened the champagne bottle. I shook and it sprayed all over domigaros. Half the bottle got emptied there. Then put the bottle into ray's mouth. He had a sip. Then took the bottle out and shoved its mouth into domolingo's mouth. This chap didn't give up until he finished the bottle. Now it was obvious for all the people gathered that dommaraja is one great drunkard.
Then domesh and the rest went for bath. We didn't spare domypoojari there also. Went into the bathroom and took his photographs. Then we let him alone. Soon he emerged clad in sherwani. Another avatar of the hero.
And it was time for some drinks and dance. For me, only dance (was still suffering from stomach infection). The DJ (unfortunately, not ray) played on baila initially and we went on dancing.
Whenever he switched to some techno/trance/ hiphop, we'd leave the floor.
All the while, cronin was having whiskey because he didn't want to dance without a particular gal (wearing a sleeveless black top and khaki cargos) on the floor. Finally for some reason he started dancing. The chicken dance. He got a gal for company.
By then the rest of us were tired. So we had our dinner.
Time to vacate the hall. So what? Nothing could stop us so early. Upon korpi's request (and cash), I got another bottle of champagne. We went to domsari's house. Dominath was wearing blue jeans and black 'nirvana' t shirt. His sherwani was dumped somewhere. He came out with his laptop, plugged it into the music system and started playing head-banging tracks. So we all headbanged for some time. Then we opened the champagne, poured some on domiroqui and made him drink some.
This time there were many guys for the share and so dommappa got only a bit to drink.
Then roshan and I decided to leave. Luckily we found an autorickshaw even in the middle of the night. He asked "yelligey". I said "bendorewell". He asked "main roada, olagey unta?". I said "main roadalley". He said, "night double. 25 rs aagthadey".
(around 2 km distance from domdim's house to mine).
Well, at this point, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In bangalore they'd have said at least 150 rs. So we went home and went to sleep after bath.. Guess it was almost 2 AM then..
Meanwhile, other folks continued dancing until 3AM I think. Then all dispersed.
