I was standing at the dhaba looking for someone who could buy me a smoke. Yes that’s true; I don’t even have money to buy something that cheap. It’s not that I don’t have that kinda money. I’m not a no-money-in-the-wallet broke; I’m more of I-spent-all-the-money-I-had kinda broke.
I guess that’s college life for you. Money-wise, people like me usually alternate between a king and a beggar. One moment, you have money in your pocket and you buy everyone everything you can (it’s like an unwritten rule among friends, if you got money, you gotta spend it), and soon enough you’re broke and you can be found asking every acquaintance of yours for Rs.5 to spare (if you’re a smoker, otherwise more).
And come to think of it, I’m glad I don’t have the regular buy-me-presents-take-me-out-for-lunch kinda girlfriend. I get by easily in dating life.
I still remember the first two years of college when I used to get Rs.150 per month allowance. Yes, Rs.150 per month. It was fuckin’ crazy!
I used to schedule a date with some girl and then run around looking for odd writing jobs to pay for my dating bills.
Thankfully, I didn’t smoke back then.
Even more thankfully, I have a different kind of girl now..!!

I loved those words! But,I feel 'bloke' is the apt word in the place of 'broke' as it is written.
This can't take the sheen away from the post!
Well written..
Keep blogging
