A<\/span><\/p>Popular opinion: Mumbai\u2019s monsoons are basically four months of <\/span>Netflix-and-Chill<\/span><\/a> weather. Waking up slightly sore to your 9 am alarm and the soundtrack of Mumbai\u2019s morning rain splashing against your window while you\u2019re cosily big-spooning bae. And even though round three was at 4 am, you can\u2019t resist bae coyly rubbing herself against you for some good \u2019ol morning sex. Somewhere amid groggy spooning and drowsy moans, the tempo of your naked symphony picks up. <\/span>\n\nYou look at each other, exhausted, knowing full well that with this kind of start to your day, it\u2019s not going to be a very productive <\/span>Tuesday<\/span><\/a>. Thus begins your Bangover.<\/span>\n\nGreat sex has a peculiar way of making you forget about your woes. It helps you elide over the image of <\/span>Maradona\u2019s coke-fuelled trip at the World Cup<\/span><\/a>, pre-election reminders that the mandir <\/span>will be<\/span><\/i> constructed there only, and the fact that you\u2019re quite possibly your mom\u2019s least favourite child (despite being an <\/span>only child<\/span><\/a>). All of this is negated by a good bangover. You\u2019re so engrossed in blushing and replaying the events of the past few hours that even Western Expressway\u2019s horrendous rush-hour traffic can\u2019t dent your spirits or afterglow. <\/span>\n\nThis is how a good bangover usually plays out: Your ride to work turns into a Moods <\/span>condom<\/span><\/a> commercial. Even the umpteen Facebook statuses you come across that all read \u201cOmgee rains #MonsoonMasti petrichod ke pakodey is bae <3 floods keechad diseases yaas!\u201d can\u2019t <\/span>harsh your vibe<\/span><\/a>. All you can think about are the intricacies of your partner\u2019s naked body. You cannot stop sniffing your arms, which, despite your morning shower, still smell of them.<\/span>\n\nFor some reason, everything around you becomes sexual. You wonder how the furry seat-cover on the Uber would feel against their bare skin. You wonder why <\/span>mirror sex<\/span><\/a> hasn\u2019t been a part of your bedroom playbook all along. You trace your fingers across your neck, feeling the soreness from that complex <\/span>magic mountain<\/span><\/a> position you tried the previous night. Your Uber driver gives you a curious stare but you can\u2019t care less.<\/span>\n

Unproductivity and genital soreness aside, a bangover may also cause a pronounced rise in confidence.<\/blockquote>\nAs with any new <\/span>ill-understood concept<\/span><\/a>, literature around the bangover is pretty thin. But a 2011 Glamour magazine <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> does pose the pertinent question, \u201cHave You Ever Had a Bangover?\u201d The article attempts to explain the phenomenon: \u201cAccording to the world of <\/span>Franklin & Bash<\/span><\/i>, a bangover occurs after a particularly fabulous night of hooking up. A person spends the next day walking around in a sex fog, still mooning over the previous night\u2019s events. It\u2019s the same concept as a hangover, only it\u2019s not accompanied by a headache and an upset stomach. A bangover is essentially a sexy afterglow that lasts all night and into the next day.\u201d<\/span>\n\nFor clarity, working with a bangover is quite the opposite of <\/span>working with a hangover<\/span><\/a>. It doesn\u2019t entail dehydration, nausea or the crippling urge to submerge your head in a bucket of iced water. Instead, you find yourself daydreaming in the middle of meetings or smiling stupidly at <\/span>sexts<\/span><\/a> from your equally unproductive bae. Someone at work might even point out the perpetual post-coital glow on your face. And no amount of buttoning up or concealing seems to hide your hickeys from sly gazes. Your peskiest coworkers may even try goading you into sharing the spicy deets \u2013 but you refuse to kiss and tell because halo frnds, shy feelo.<\/span>\n\nUnproductivity and genital soreness aside, a bangover may also cause a pronounced rise in confidence. You will throw around frivolous statements like, \u201cSure, I\u2019ll give it to you two days before the <\/span>agreed-upon deadline<\/span><\/a>\u201d and \u201cOf course you can pull off a fuchsia shirt, Aakash!\u201d This happens because your bangover-ed brain is so hopped up on dopamine, it morphs your personality into a mix of <\/span>Donald Trump<\/span><\/a> and DJ Khaled: high on self-confidence but only spewing nonsensical drivel. And the <\/span>major key<\/span><\/a> entails you just shutting the hell up. <\/span>\n\nAfter an entire day of being chirpier than your usual self and accepting work you have no intention of doing, your bangover may begin to subside. At this point, your life begins to feel <\/span>mundane and meaningless<\/span><\/a> again. <\/span>\n\nOn your ride home, you realise you have a long week ahead and should probably prioritise work over play. \u201cAlcohol and sex-fuelled benders should be a weekend thing,\u201d you tell yourself, swearing to not initiate contact with bae until Friday night. But then an hour later, bae texts you the <\/span>peach\/baingan emoji<\/span><\/a> followed by a question mark. <\/span>\n\n\u201cThis weather\u2019s not going to last forever,\u201d you tell yourself the following morning, waking up in the exact same position as the night before. \u201cYou know, it\u2019s called hump day for a reason\u201d, bae says, while rubbing themselves against you. Effectively killing your hopes of a hickey-free Wednesday.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
