Sand n Sho's Treat
The plan was to meet at Autobahn at 11.30AM
We, being a bunch of punctual and on-time techies
finally met at the treat venue at 1.45PM.
Well, 'we' can very well be replaced by 'i' :-S
I couldnt make it in time. And Alex, Jins, Sho
were dependent on me to reach the venue..
(Not that I would carry them in my ferrari.. They
donno the route)
:-)
So finally when we reached at Tharavaadu, the newly
opened Authentic Kerala Food HOtel near Hosur Road
in Bommanahalli, Geo was all fired up, and uttering
Sanskrit Slogans at me, non-stop.
Having battled that out, found the next interesting
'feature' seated quietly on the corner seat of the
table - Gasper!
When Geo mailed the previous day "Tsunami to hit
Bangalore. Travelling northbound, from Mysore to
Bangalore", I never thought it would be this BIG.
Tsunami was better !
While exchanging Hi, Hello; Kiron pointed out another
fact. They had booked two tables on either sides, so
that we could "peacefully" have the lunch together.
But since our arrival got delated by a few minutes
(about 65 minutes), they had to let the table go..
Got a dosage for that also..
Sand asked "Did you get a message that i sent?"
I checked the inbox..
Sand's msg "Its another OPT. Not much of items here"
Thanks to Bird flu, the treats off-late have rather
been dull (only at the food-front). From the decibel
point of view, the treats seem to score more points
day after day :-)
We (Sho,Alex,Rat,Jins) got a table in the same row,
though not adjacent - there was another table in between.
(But that got vacated VERY soon. No points for guessing
the right reason) :D
Ordering dishes was never so easy..
One item each of every special dish.
And who cares to look at the RHS of the menu?
Sho, in a shaken voice kept on telling "Order whatever
you want". Well, the birthday boy has no other option
;-)
The hotel witnessed a pin-drop silence when the food
came to our table. Yup, till then, it was a total mess.
All (unwanted) attention was drawn to our tables..
Our table was particularly loud, with Alex cracking
numbers one after the other.
He said, during one treat when he had Crab Roast, his
lips bulged out, and his face ended up like that of a
horse.
And another news from Alex is that he is planning to buy
a new phone (That would be his 5th mobile phone in a span
of 1.5 odd years). Well, this news might have brought some
smile to thieves' faces :D
Even while food was being consumed, noise level did not
go down by a great margin. We were doing more of talking
than eating. (At the end of the performance, when we got
up to leave, the waiter escorted us to the door.. He said
"How was the food? Hope you enjoyed it.. Or.. Did you get
any time to care for the food at all?)
That statement briefs in one line, our impact and "influence"
on the ppl at the hotel.
Bill payment time.
Sho "Will u accept card?"
W8r "No sir"
Sho "Food coupons?"
W8r "Not yet sir.."
Rat (to W8r) "Please escort him to the kitchen. We shall leave
him here on loan basis"
But luckily, there was just the right number of note of 100
denomination to pay the bill. And Sho was spare of the kitchen
duty.
Post lunch, we left for Autobahn.
The agenda was clear "Urakkam"
As Geo puts it "Weekends are for urakkam"
Three beds and 8 ppl. Not at all a problem.
Let me make it a point that the noise level is still all-time
high. Thats when alex noted the vibrating sound of a mobile.
He notified the immediate neighbour, and went on to do his
task (sleep). After a rigourous search, nothing was found..
Then Alex Jumped up, reached for his bag.. Aila! there it is!
It was his (JY) phone that ws making noise..
Soon, Alex and Sho left.. Alex had some JY work.
Geo got a phone call. He quickly sprang out of his bed,
bathed(!!!), put on perfume, dressed up neat and left.
--A busy workaholic bachelor, who "sleeps" on weekends--
Sand was also seen leaving on his bike.
Jins and I too left by 6.30, leaving Kiron and Gasper at home.
Note : It was a combined treat. Sho's bday, Sand's new job
Note2: Gasper had come all the way from Mysore, just to attend
the treat
3: KK was not well. Was "sleeping" at home.
4: Dennis had work at office and couldnt turn up
5: Sand had brought cam, but the smart man did not charge the cell
6: Sand left for home at 9PM. Be back in a week
7: Autobahn is where Geo,Kir,Sand stay :-)

When the bill came for our table,
alex: "verum 390 roopayo! ithu moshamaayippoyi; njaan oru 400 enkilum pratheekshichathaa!
rat: "ha! athinu choodayal pore? parayunnathenthinaa?"
>>Note : It was a combined treat. Sho's bday, Sand's new job
FYI,
It was not for Sand's new job... It was for his BDay....
Do u think the treat for a 6 liter job will be held at Tharavadu? Thats what SSS is built for :_))
Kahanii mein twist !?!!
Well, I (and nobody) have any problem with an SSS treat.. And who cares, why the hell, the treat.. Eat appam, ~count kuzhi
@Dipu : SSS - Sahib Sindh Sultania. A hi-fi (Mugalian style?) restaurant in Forum - The Shopping Mall
Dips.. The items in quotes are for the general readers.. (most of 'em outside APAC). Hope you understand
B-)
And yes, SSS is yekspenseev. But if its a treat, who cares? ;-)
