hey

Another awesome day, eat drink, drink some more and be merry.

joy thought we had to do something on easter and woke me and my roommate around lunchtime. his roommate — in his Rs 2500-ManU jersey — was also supposed to come along but was finally convinced, using some reverse psychology, not to. hate that idiot. ok, not hate, dislike.

auto to bessie.

we got down in front of the wineshop, but i flatly refused to drink anything on an empty stomach. so off we went in search fo food, finally settling for mallu food in tharavadu. but they didnt have veg biriyani, so i didnt order anything. just sat there staring hungrily at joy and aravind eating naadan parotta with chicken curry. did eat one parotta and some gravy though.

went to gallopin’ gooseerrys after that. didnt know they had a branch in bessie. had heard a lot about the gream’s road one when i was in college, so thought i should try it out. the veg barbeQ burger was just ok, not really as good as the ones in eatalica and more expensive too.

next fruit shop where aravind had something with tang in its name and ginger in the juice while i had the orange juice. they have opened a shop in dubai too it seems.

walked to pirates, a resto bar in adyar, with a stop in between at fashion folks where joy and aravind checked out but didnt buy t-shirts. they had a huge tv showing highlights of yesterday’s EPL matches. anyway, pirates turned out to be more expensive than what we had heard it would be. and black pearl was just a short walk. but there was hardly any shade in adyar and we were glad to be inside in the end. one foren uncle and aunty peeped in as soon as we had settled down, said something in german and scooted. but the bar is one heack of a place. at night, you can usually find some well-dressed middle-aged uncles discussing politics and cricket there. other than that, black pearl is one shady place.

mirlang was leaving chennai for good and goodbyes were in order. they, mirlang, the jamshedpur gang, mickey, his colleague christopher, the pop star sunny B and his brother were on one heck of a trip at the thiruvanmayur house. dont remember when we got there and when we left. just remember that we stopped at adyar for packign some food and got back to hostel around 21:30.
