Sat evening, about 13 of us con­verged at Shiok for the Vod­kathon (thanks to the col­lec­tive spir­its of Prabhu & Chen­til).

One of the par­tic­i­pants, we dis­cov­ered had given up the good things in life (read meat and alco­hol), so we pre­sume he came for our com­pany! One par­tic­u­lar gen­tle­man, we dis­cov­ered had cre­ated their blogs the day before just to be present!

I scar­ily dis­cov­ered that most of them hap­pened to be from our friendly neigh­bour­hood state. They would get into excited con­ver­sa­tion in a lan­guage I didn’t under­stand, once too often, so I qui­etly stuck to bet­ter alter­na­tives like drink­ing moji­tos.

It wasn’t dif­fi­cult to decide who got the most drunk… The crown was snatched away by none other than Chenthil who was deter­mined to declare him­self the win­ner. And kept repeat­ing after mid­night that he was drunk, not real­iz­ing that we were agree­ing with him.

After all that late night spir­i­tual expe­ri­ence, it was a won­der that I man­aged to reach French class on Sun­day morn­ing at 9.10 am, exactly 10 min­utes late. 

I’ve had the lunch buf­fet at Aura a few times, and I must say they make really good pasta. So if you’re hun­gry around lunch time, do drop in at Aura on Cun­ning­ham Road. It’s priced at Rs 200 and well worth the price, since you also get dessert :) 

Had a long leisurely and enjoy­able lunch with friends, just what I needed on a lazy Sun­day afternoon.

In other news, I’ve been dream­ing of 3 day week­ends. Sigh! I never quite man­age to fit in every­thing I planned!

And I man­aged to put up a cou­ple of long pend­ing albums, so do drop by…
