I am beginning to feel very predictable and boring..lately all my posts have been just posts about my weekend and so is this one for lack of anythng better...
The weekend was the usual one..partying on Saturday and relaxing with family on the sunday and back to the Grind on monday...
This Sunday was an experience however..Me and two of my friends had entered a quiz competition in our club.. I was very sceptical about us making it to the venue..let alone qualifying.. We had al reached home at around 1:00 on Sunday morning and the quiz was at 9:00 am..and it was not like all of us had been drinking pepsi the whole night...:)
9:00 am saw Sourabh messaging me that he might not be able to make it.... a few frantic calls later all of us were up..and stumbled to the venue... The others must have misinterpreted our looks to be fatigue from preparing for the quiz..now that would be a laugh..Coffee revved us up. and we were ready to take on the quizmaster.. Since we knew the organisers we were trying to pull a few strings..unsuccessfully in the end..
We had about 30 min to answer 40 questions.. And we would be lucky to get 10 right...
We decided to have fun in the quiz and not tax ourselves too much... our answers were as far from the truth as possible...
One of the questions was " who was the last man on the moon" and our answer.."the guy who went after Neil Armstrong".. There was another question about some king of england..and we knew that it was one of the Henry's..so our answer was.."King Henry V/VI/VII/VII" ..I guess you get the general idea of how we fared..
After turning in our papers we were all given the answers..and this was the best part..after every answer was announced ..me and my partners would start giving each other high-fives.and after all the answers were announced we were all yelling so hard and celebrating... Those people are sure going to be one surprised bunch when they don't see us on the stage in the finals..
I just remembered a joke that came up on Saturday night..This one had us in splits for a pretty loong time...
A lady at a party: " Oye Sardarji..zara susu karne ki jagah dekhao."
Sardarji: Oye naughty..pehle tum dikhao"

Ahh..finally I am blogging again..
It has been such along time since I blogged. It has most definitely not been for the lack of material, but just for the lack of time..but what matters now is..I AM BACK
This weekend will be remembered for a long time..It started off on friday itself with a visit to the new McDonald's and a good loong drive, and with good company to boot..I felt like I was back in college and bunking classes(which i absolutely love to do)
The Saturday started off with something I like to do best..RIDE MY BIKE..
Was riding with three friends. Sharan was riding pillion with me and Ragu and Sandeep were on the formers's Pulsar.Our initial plan was to ride to Shivanasaudram to catch the beautifull waterfall there.When we were pretty close to our destination we saw a board to a place called Mutatthi.On an impulse we decided to ride there and boy.. was it a good decision or was it a good decision..The roads were pretty narrow and we met more cattle and sheep than the number of humans we had come across for the day.The road kept sloping downwards, and we were enjoying the fabulous ride. The roads were in good condition too.We suddenly realised that we were in a jungle and soon we could hear the river Cauvery.We suddenly came across the river and it was just fabulous to see the river in full force.We were so enamoured by the river and the beautiful roads that we kept riding and did not realise that we had passed our destination. It was too late to turn back and so we kept riding hoping to hit the highway soon. The roads became more of a dirt track after this.
At one point our bikes were pretty deep in slush and we were hoping that they would not stall or pushing our bikes in this slush would be nothing short of a mudbath. After we hit the highway we took a break and only then realised what a state we were in. Our trousers and bikes had enough mud on them for us to make people stare at us. Here we decided to turn back to Bangalore without visiting the falls.
Visiting the point would set us back by at least another two hours and it was vital for us to reach bangalore before 3:00 pm as Sharan was working that night and needed to get ample rest. Sadly we had to make this decision and save the ride to Shivanasamudram to another day.
Now I was thinking what better way to top off this wonderful ride. The answer was a visit to STYX with my friend and his girlfriend. This place has to be my favourite hangout... Was in STYX almost until they closed down for the night. The three of us were completely blown away by the fabulous music and had a whale of a time. S was however always concerned about how much we two guys were drinking, as we had to drop her back home.We finaly dropped her off at around 12:30 and we guys reached home at around 1:00 in the morning.
Now after all this sunday was a day to just relaxxxx and go zzzzz. Woke up in ime to see how India was faring at the chennai test. Met up with a few friends and was back home for the Sunday Famiily lunch.Surpise surprise.my favourite uncle was visiting us..Felt really good catching up with him after a verry loong time.
The only downer was that I had to catch up with some friends and had to meet S whom I was not ready to meet as yet..guess it will take some more recovering before we can get to a stage where S and I can talk.But this did not cast the shadow that I thought it would..guess that means I am well on the path to recovery..a few months ago, this would have left me in bad spirits for a day or two..not now..
Overall a fab weekend with the right flavours to make it balanced....
