The vodkathon

Posted on April 3, 2006April 3, 2006

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.

Vodkathon, April 1, 2006

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…

So they say…

Posted on March 5, 2007March 6, 2007

“A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip!” Spent a quiet evening by the riverside, a coracle ride down the waters, watching the beautiful shimmering shadows of the trees, the occasional chirping of a bird now retiring into the dark depths…

In search of the quiet life

Posted on June 14, 2007June 14, 2007

A long weekend at Nersa, a village on the Goa Karnataka border The bamboo tree flowers once in 12 years. And once it does, it’s of no use anymore. The bamboo flowers attract rodents, which also tend to eat up rice grains, thus increasing the chances of a famine. That’s…
