WOOT... my first 3 day weekend! Total masti with Deepavali added to the equation.
So it's Deepavali today.. so I shall start with wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Deepavali. May the light never fade. It's surprising how a lot of the people these days dont seem to remember that Deepavali is the festival of lights. I guess they'll know eventually! So my new outfit is a kurta from flab india... courtesy Ravi, Bhabi, Raju and Hemali. Thank you folks.. this is awesome! I'm sure Ravi is gonna get a crack outta this when he sees the pic, but oh well.
So... my weekend was the awesome! Super fun time with the cousins & nephews. I finally got to meet Arvind. Man that kid is tall as hell! And he's one super samatthu kodam. Well with a mom like Sasi, I can only imagine. I think he needs some time away from home now that he's working n all. Not cos it's a bad thing he's at home, just cos it will be nice for him. Yea I'm sure a lot of people will be angry at me for saying that. Anyhow... atleast he wont become like me!!! That seems to be the popular comment floating around. Eh well, I like myself and I dont see anything wrong the way I turned out.
Anyhow... the kids were here and we decided to go out for dinner and just spend the night playing cards. We went out to mattas yet again. It's just good cheap food! Imagine... 6 of us ate hearty dinners.. with soup, side dishes and main courses. 370 bucks. Well, it's a roadside joint and you have to sit on the pavement.. but you have the fantastic view of the chennai traffic! Anyhow we ate dinner which was good and then decided to grab pani pooris while we were at it. There's yet another roadside cart that Naveen knew somewhere in rangarajapuram that we went to. About 6 pooris later, we're all just in the zone! I'm sure most of you are like, god knows what water he used and wonder how long it's been sitting outside.. but that adds more flavor :P And its all these places that dont make you sick. I dunno.. maybe I'm just back to being the good 'ol porukki that I used to be! hehe
So from dinner and a snack, we got home to start our cards session. Ofcourse we played temperature. The night got off to a great start! Vijay declared in the first round and had 2 people beat him! From then on, it was just amazing. We started at 10 or something and stopped at 4:30 in the morning. Oh the best part is that we were all up by 9 or 9:30. Well, we had originally planned to go to the beach at 6 if we all woke up.. but guess that didnt happen ;) . So we woke up and were just lazing around until we decided that we will go to this resort out in mahabs. So we left for that sometime in the afternoon... actually around 12. It was a long drive there cos of the traffic. This is actually 5 or so kilometers before mahabs. Naveen was driving and it felt nice to be out on the ECR. It wasnt too hot either, so perfect day to get out. We reached the resort and why this far and this place was cos we'd have their pool all to ourselves. And yes.. it was empty. 5 of us just going crazy. Yea Arvind went home cos his mom wanted him back. So we were in the pool for a couple of hours... well we took breaks to have fries and pakoda and some soda pop... and we were playing kabbadi in the smaller pool. Man Vijay is just a monster! He basically took the spotlight. So after eating n swimming we drove back to the city. This time it was even better :P We got back in good time and had the wind in our faces.
I got home soon after we grabbed something to eat. We headed to dandu maama's house for dinner with the family. Well we went there to take a look at the celebrations and all the crackers the kids were blowing up. The night sky was full of rockets! So many of them... from all sides! It was a noisy and colorful night! So after sometime we grabbed dinner and I spent time talkin to cheeku and bali after a long time. Got home sometime later and I was so tired that I passed out soon after I hit the bed. I seem to be getting lesser sleep everyday and I'm sure gonna make it up this coming weekend!
So... I'm off to have some amazing mammu at the peris... You folks have a good day and some good mammu! Cya laters
