"THE WEEKEND"

Bachelors Inc:

Was quite tempted it to name this part "Irish coffee night" but I am the kind, not wanting to hurt 'friends'. Well, lets leave it there and get back to the night.

'Green Park' a dhaba at 8:00PM Saturday:

*We reached late because of Naga, as he is 'The Localite' now and needs permissions for late night hangouts with friends.

*Scissors can tailor destiny to head towards the best.

*I say clearly yet again "I used the day pass to the fullest extent".

*When someone is desperate to narrate a story, no matter how interesting it is, hindering its progress can be great fun.

*180 ml vodka was able to give a slight high to me and Ranjith.

*Krishna: Praveen has really gone crazy. He may seem happy, dont fall for it. He is hiding pain within, please do call him and pacify him. Please nanna nambu...pls..pls...

*Did krishna eat an iota chicken?? The question remains a mystery yet.


Channapattna Coffee day at around 11:30 PM:

*The place where Krishna spent most of his childhood.

*Naga: How was Irish Coffee ????? Speciaalllllllllllllllll??? Also please for the last time stop looking at me. It was not me. Mostly Naga, it was the Kaala Bandar at the CCD that did black magic, Nijwaaagluuu.

*MM (Ohh not The MM yaar) is Mahishaasuraa Mardini, Krishna's new girlfriend whom he apparently scrapped "are you in orkut?"

*Finally Ranjith revels the story about his horrifying experience at his recent Kudremukh trek and it was amazing.

*Irish coffee to cast shadow over Blue Apple Soda.


SR's place 2:00 AM:

*Naga can play his dust guitar by just coughing in front of it.

*We found out the hidden truth about the Irish coffee. It was imported, hence Ram sene objected as it is against Indian culture. SR along with Ram sene spilled half the coffee. Finally justice.

*Winning a card game is the most stupid thing you will ever do.

*Naga turns into a snake at 12:00 to drink Irish coffee.


Dilli 6:

At 11 AM Urvashi, Sunday:

A good movie, Sonam Kapoor at her best. Some flaws were: songs needed better picturisation and love story needed more coverage. People may claim it was silly, but when you look at it; Indians are silly at times but the best part it is here the system works and that was what has been depicted in the movie.


Emperor:

At 2:00PM, Khansama Restaurant, UB city:

*UB city is just superb.

*The crowd is just amazing.

*The restaurant was great great. We had a royal lunch. Truly Royal. It was Mughlai, with all the huge glasses and plates. A totally different experience. It was like what I had seen in numerous movies a plush british dining table with amazing food.

*Desserts and starters were a connoisseurs delight.


A great weekend. Had great fun. Thanks friends for making it so.

Prayer...

Some amazing lines that I came across, stating the power of prayer.

There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don't want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from it's insight into human nature.


We ask God to grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change.
Because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us.

The courage to change the things we can.
Because so many of us are cowardly. And afraid to stand up for what is right.

And the wisdom to know the difference.
Because so many of us give into despair...when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear you and answer your prayer.The bad news is that sometimes......the answer is no.

At home At Hullimakki.....

A sweet voice said "I am waiting to run away, are you coming" and thus began this trip. Rushed to office immediately, a good chit-chat for half an hour then headed to V.V.Puram Food street. Hungry stomach and eclectic dishes always gel well. Reached Hullimakki at around 5 AM. Half an hour nap and then for the first time in my life i had bed coffee and bed tea, and it was awesommmmm. Cold climate, speciallll coffee (as Genelia puts it!!) and badminton made my morning.

A 2 hour trek later with some great snaps. Was just too hungry when i spotted a Ginnu (Pudding cooked with colostrum) look-a-like, it was too yummy. Aunty's cooking was an epicurean's delight, lunch was just lip smacking with akki rotis, cocunut chatni, bamboo shoot pickle, dry chicken etc. Then we had a wonderful time at their private waterfall. Sitting below the fall of water was quite a relief from body aches and felt supreme. We had a magnificient time there. Reached back and had juice, pineapple juice was never so tasty. Then badminton time again followed by play time with Rangi(A calf) and then 2 cups of tea and a cup of coffee( I think that states how pleasing they were). Of course we had to let out some quality time for UNO, this time with lots of 'open' cheating tricks. Later betal leaf wine + campfire + pic time. Then we invented some new badminton concepts.
Me and Vinz-Lazy Badminton- Absolute no leg movement.
Me Vinz and Shubra- Trio Badminton-This didn't work out well.
Me,San,Vinz,Sameer,Kartha+refreees- The all-opponent badminton- Even your teammates can function as your opponent. This was just a flabbergast ride.

We kicked off next morning with taTTe idli and headed off to a trek. Sudks and gang went ahead for about 4 hills, while me and San had some quality time experimenting her new SLR (Ond sala nan pic, Ond sala aval pic) after 2 hills. Climbing down we found a pond, lots of big fishes there, they seemed to love puffed rice. Back home, me, sudks, Damodar and Kartha went ahead for bath at a small stream and returned for a great lunch again. Then had great fun with the puppies minchu and shiny, will miss them a lot. Everyone of us had a sad time saying good bye to aunt ant uncle. Thanks to them again for such a great weekend.
