Ajja aala re ...
My oldest friend, Ajay, came to my house this weekend, on his way back to the US of A. It was good to meet him face-to-face [ we keep interacting a lot through e-mails ] after a period of 2 years !! We spent the whole of the Saturday evening shopping, till our legs could no longer bear our own weights.
Earlier in the day, we spent 2 long hours of TT. It was great to be playing against him again. The last time we played, it was in our final year at KREC, and we were nothing more than amateurs. He definately has improved a hell lot since those days in TT. Its good to know that there is someone whom you can beat, or that there is still someone whom i need to beat ;-). We were completely exhausted by the time we finished playing around 15 to 20 games in those 2 hours. We did have a few close matches reaching deuce too. It was none-the-less great fun.
Lunch was at our very own "Dimpy's Punjabi Dhaba" :-), our usual paratha and egg burji :p, followed by a sound sleep in the afternoon. It was only in the evening that we realised how much tired we were after playing those TT matches. In the evening we went to Music World. Ajja has now started a new interest in VCDs. We searched a lot for our great Jaggesh movies, and we actually found 2. But, we were disappointed to not find, "Bal nanna maga", his superhit movie in Kannada. Well, may be we can find it some other time ;-). In the same old vein of trying out new things, we tried a new restaurant at Residency road for the dinner. It was a good gujju/rajasthani restaurant with a nice "Jee bharke khao" punch line.
On Sunday, we had a get together with our KREC friends, Nagya and Amar, though Rajya could not come because his silly bike got punctured in the heavy rains that lashed Bangalore. We met at Amoeba for a game of bowling. It was my first try at the game, and i was quite impressive with 116 points !! I dont know if it was more of fluke and luck, but i somehow managed to score the highest :-) Later we went for another round of purchasing, buying a "butterfly" TT bat for Ajay.
And, well the day ended watching the sweet victory of India against England at Lords. This Indian team seems to be having a great liking for Lords. The matches here have been very inspiring for them. Hope this victory yesterday, gives them the proper impetus that they need to boost up their spirits and win the ICC Champions Trophy starting this week.
