An Awesome Sunday well spent

    Its 10 AM and I wake up with an arm stretch followed by a yawn. I thought it was a boring Sunday to begin with until the plan begins to take shape as I head off to Gopalan Innovation Mall in a Taxi. The plan is that we have a game of bowling, have a long lunch spend some time at the arcade and then be on our way.

We begin with satisfying our primary urges and make a dash to the food court. Its a sumptous Mutton Biryani for me while my friends gorge on Veggie delights. Mutton Biryani goes well with Pepsi and so do the Vegetarian dishes served at the food court.

Pretty soon we are done with our lunch and
the bowling game starts. All of us are at loggerheads when it comes to the games and there is no love lost outside it. The tight game ends with Arun running away with the winners title while I come a close second.

The clock ticks away quickly and before you know it, it's time to say Goodbye. As friends say goodbye to each other and as my Taxi disappears from the mall, I realise that this day would be remembered no doubt as one of the best memories in my life. The Bowling Games, Leg pulling sessions and what not would go down into the chapters of history.

Unexpected Treat

Its just a normal day for me as I get up and get going with the Hullabaloo of the daily routine. As dusk catches up I get ready for a quiet dinner in front of my TV and then I get the call. Friends calling me for an all you can eat buffet treat courtesy of a very happy buddy of mine.

We get going to Barbeque Nation close by for some lovely starters which just kept coming and coming and coming. Drinks follow and while my friends settle down on their cocktails,I am much contended with my peach ice tea. I try to keep up with their pace and take my own sweet time to finish the drink. While this was going on, The leg pulling competition was in full swing with each of us taking turns. Soft English music played in the background with a singer performing his heart out to entertain the crowd which was still pouring in.

Apparently the music was just soaking in with the aura and the food and drinks. Fish Prawns Chicken and mutton made sure we licked our fingers clean. The Pineapple added to the flavour of the evening.

Towards the end of the show we settled down with some Chocolate Ice Cream and nuts while some tried the Walnut Brownie instead and as the food sank inside our stomachs we cherished every moment of the evening and soaked in the fun while walking to the Image result for chocolate ice cream with nuts     Image result for walnut brownie

Anger modulated

It's May.  the hottest month of the year, we decide to check out the update on the Kemp fort total mall which was recently changed. My good friend Arun arrives in his gleaming Red Hyndai Eon and we get chatting sitting inside the car for a good amount of time. The topic of discussion changes from Car to Friends to ACs in no time. We take the car for a spin to the mall on my insistance and I am the disappointed one for the mall has let me down. Parking seems to be a confusion and we are directed by the security personnel to park in the next street.

As the car rolls into the next street we are delighted that parking is available in abundance. We park the car and dash out to enter the mall with overcooked hype if u ask me. The Mall tells the same sad story with more worse exhibits. We pass through empty spots of where once stood some good shops offering the very best stuff. To add to the dismay the mall has no AC and one has to bear the heat. The confusion about the exit is another sad story. Scores of people land up much to our puzzled look as to how can people put up with such a hot place.

We order our snacks at KFC and then quietly ditch the spot in time. If u ask me its one of those lousy outings but nonetheless its the company of the friend that counts more than the place itself.
