last night

well the day had started off on a low....i was late getting to office due to a long line at the cng filling station....my reception there was frosty coz rukshana blasted me for a fuck up that lost us a client. my meeting scheduled for 2 pm was handed to someone else due to the upcoming shadow rm program. though this left me free about 2 hours early, i still had mixed feelings about my work being taken away from me, almost as if i was deemed irresponsible

anyway, met up then with suhail and mayank sharma (their dce friend), and we went to colaba for a nice lunch at dilli durbar followed by pastries at theobroma....god i love that place!!
we got home after that and lazed about for a bit, watchng the indo pak match and admiring dada and yuvi. shek and shefali got here by around 530, then after dilly dallying a bit and playing xbox, the 3 of us went to pcp and joined the gym, finally!!! spent about an hour there on the treadmill, jogger, and cycle, along with some crunches. i think we would have been dead after that, but for the crazy stretches those maniacs made us do.....so instead, feeling refreshed, we went home and had our baths and all.

then all of us (shek, suhail, sharmaji, shefali and i) met up with avantika and harsh and went to hawaiian shack in bandra. now HS is always a nice place, this was my 3rd or 4th trip there. the music is good and the crowd is great. but this time was extra special i think.
but first things first.....we ordered lots of starters coz we were famished after the workout. i started off with a smirnoff, then shifted to beers. i think i'm starting to hate other drinks in comparison. harsh was very drunk by the end, think he'd already had some before joining us. watched sharmaji being crazy and going up and talking to just about any female he set eyes on.

no, what made the nice more special than just the very nice time catching up with people and hanging out with my best friends, was the fact that for the 1st time, i was able to gather the balls to go up to a female and ask her for her number.
see, the way it happened was there were 5 females on the ground floor, in a corner, and about 3 of them were hot. 1 was totally sloshed. so suhail and i got there (near the end of the evening, after almost losing them) and struck up conversation. the female i originally liked ended up all over suhail, while i was after the one who suhail found best. unfortunately, the placed closed aout 20 mins earlier than expected, so i couldnt dance with her. we helped them take their drunk friendout, where i finally asked for her number (with shek acting drunk behnd me). now given my luck, she was 25 and engaged, they all were (she looked about 20-21!!). but the important thing is i did it, and i survived. as i learned from sharmaji (slightly unlikely to learn something from him), rejection is part of the game. think i can do it again....look forward to the next party!!!!

in epilogue, we searched around dadar for a place to eat after that....starters werent enough. but at 2am, every place was closed....so we just went home, and slept around 3 i guess
nice day :)
