the getgether as i viewed it

The idea of getting2gether originated after my long overdue phone con with ambar and the initial date (sunday) and time (1:30) were fixed. however the time got changed after taking into consideration influencing factors like the home going time and when the famous 4 visit happened to college it was advanced to 11:30 much to the dislike of chikku for whom this is the twilight hours of any sunday morning.
finally the day dawned upon us and initially the only ones to arrive as per Indian standard time wer ambar,vikas and myself. Slowly but surely the others arrived as per their respective area time zones with deepak arriving as per Indiranagar Standard Time. also the last minute usual cancellation phone calls came on time and reasons were unknown.
the initial flocking at Barista got changed as the long standing in the sun was taking its toll on our complexions and the venue was shifted to Corner House and a few harried phone calls were made. the major surprise was that chikku for the first time in his life(as i see it) did not know the existence of a food joint. so myself ,ambar,vikas , sachin, muddy and nidhi moved on to the new rendezvous point where we were joined by quad and hsi new pulsar.so we got down to ordering our ice creams and having them when we were joined by yakka,kesthur and chikku.trust me ambar's behaviour in public still hasn't changed a bit. i guess the guy fell into a glucose puddle or something when he was young a.k.a indian obelix except for the size factor.
at corner house two new stories originated namely chikkus gujju love life and hsi secret about neeti a.k.a yakka's l;ove life and no amount of coercion was enought to get the story out. as of now ambar still sports a " " on his chin which he likenms to the one sported by James Heidfeild. for the uninitated that is te lead singer of metallica.kesthur hasn't changed bit and neither have any of the others except for shaggy who is now sporting a "sign of prosperity" around his middle.
after corner house we were deprieved of muddy,nidhi and quad after the photo session. The remaining moved on to the Indiranagar boys favourite haunt "earthen oven". had a good lunch and then after losing chikku and neeti we 4 moved ontio styx ,had a few vodkas and finally left for home with the desire in our hearts of meeting soon again.
it was a really wonderful sunday well spelnt and many memories rekindled and new ones added.
that's it from my side.
