Sabarish

No I don’t mean the TV show! This past weekend was filled with tons of friends from the past! :)

Thanks to some sudden work at office, on Thursday and Friday, I was unable to go on the Rameshwaram trip :( Many of my cousins went and are having a great time. They should return tomorrow morning.

On Saturday called up Anshu and Kannan and Prakash and we met up for Anshu’s belated birthday treat! I wanted to go for the Air Supply India tour concert at Bangalore but ended up going to coffee day and then to Star City for a great close game of bowling. Prakash, Anshu and I were tied at the same score at one point but I managed to beat Anshu by 1 point in the end and win the game! We then went to some salad bar and had a whole lot of vegetables (mom will murder me if she gets to know about this, since I hardly eat any vegetables at home!). After this the guys had to go back home, but the night was still young and I still had to have dinner.

I then called the usual movie gang (Sunil, Sharath, Ranganath, Ghana and Raghavan) and fixed up dinner (at Bobby da Dhaba) and a late night movie plan (Tom, Dick and Harry at Innovative Multiplex), although in the end only Raghavan and Sharath could come. The movie was ok and had a lot lacking and the comedy was just about ok. The actors could have been utilised in a better manner and the villain could have been a lot less silly. Sharath stayed back at my house that night and left by about 9 AM on Sunday. 

Sunday was no different and I met more friends once again. Through orkut – we organised a reunion of sorts for students from my class of 10C at Bishop Cotton Boys’ School. We (Neeraj, Rohan, Angad, Gautham, Deepak and myself) met up at Barista near Koshy’s and waited for long while without power due for our orders. We used the time to talk about a lot of old memories. About incidents that happened in class and also about our other classmates. It was nice and all of use were very nostalgic about the good old school days. The power had still not returned so we cancelled our orders and we (minus Gautham – who had to leave) headed to Corner House. After ice creams and more nostalgic moments Angad and Neeraj left and Deepak, Rohan and myself lazed for a while at Amoeba hoping to get a bowling lane, but to no avail. We then had dinner at Empire and headed home. I’ve uploaded some photos of the reunion here.

A great weekend for me – and incidentally I managed to meet friends from almost all spheres of my life, including School, PUC College, Engineering College and the Microsoft student champ program. Only office friends and some others were left out! I guess they are for another weekend now!
