Eating Habits ... Cant copy u!!

It was night 9:30 and I was hungry, so much so .. that i could have had anything in front of me. A friend of mine suggested if we could go to "The Pongal", an authentic TamilNadu, unhygenic mess serving idlis and dosas who u would have never heard of.

Lungis and white shirts, the typical south wear we could see .. may b being frm mumbai .. i m used to it .. but the way i called the waiter there .. "Hey Bossss, order lena" .. and the waiter realised ... that we are the customers .. who can be easily neglected. ;-) But i quickly learnt a few tricks and called "annaaa" and he came running .. haha!! "Dose me kya hai", i asked .. and what happened was really filmy style .. my anna was uttering words like a "without brakes Indrayani express" :-) and i could understand nothing .. thought a bit abt the order .. and i continued .. what generally happens in films, i said .. "vo last me bola vo leke aa na" :-)

Then came the order for idlis .. and i could make out atleast one dish out of the whole list .. "Tanjore Idli" ... goshhhhhhhh .. if thats a real Tanjore Idli .. i wont go to Tanjore in my lifetime!

Looking at others enjoying their dishes .. i thought of copying their eating style .. and i put my hand in the bowl of sambar idli :-) maja aya ... but it doesnt come naturally to us .. and hence i wont like to copy it again! Nice heavy food .. whose names i dont know :-) Returned home at around 11pm and needless to say .. had a severe stomachache for next two days!

Life is changing!

Life changes and I think the first change we see is when we come out of our college life and enter the real world of competition, industries, job, job satisfaction and god knows what else. But finally everything boils down to the pay-check which we get at the end of the month. That really shows if u r satisfied and has ur life changed. Or does it, really?

I still remember my first travel from my hometown to my place where i earn my bread, we four in group, guess it was my first/second travel in AC coach. Was so excited to start a new beginning, was sad to be away from my family but used to consolidate myself saying "its a matter of 3 months and i will go and meet them" and yes .. still whenever i go home .. my excitement is seen, eager to meet my family, friends, my place and my home.

I still remember my first month in a lodge. 5 friends staying in a small room, travelling 1hr one way in the traffic to reach office, looking for houses on rent after working hours and coming back to the lodge. Those are the days, difficult to forget, 5 people, 1 room, lodge manager shouting to vacate the room, our 1 month stay, looking for houses .. it was all great

I still remember my first day in office, new place, new work and new faces. The day i felt, "this is my karmbhumi" and the day when whatever people said, was falling on my deaf years because i was in the mood of my own. It all felt wonderful, when unexpectedly my friends joined me and the work became lot easier, lot of fun and time spent was friendship earned. As my Boss would put it, "wherever u go, u will always be attached with the people here" and its true! Apart from work what i recieved is gr8 friendship and m realy lucky to have found few very good friends.

I still remember the day when one of my roomie left us to go back hometown. There was time when we shared a small 2bhk, actually a 1bhk with the way we maintain it ;-) among 7 of us. All together, adjusting, enjoying, fighting but all very much bonded with each other. Then how does it feel, when one says "I am getting transferred, going back hometown". I felt happy, happy bcos it was a gr8 news for him but that was the first time it struck me ... that we all r here together, to leave one day .. and sooner or later thats going to happen

I still remember those days, when we use to give b'day treats at a place where less price was the priority and food came next. Good restaurants, expensive resorts was to be experienced only when the company pays for it. But now .. we go to these places on our own, earlier treat included only food and no drinks but now, drinks are mandatory. :-) (should mention, i dont drink) .. but as i said, somethings are bound to change .. and so now a days treats are not to celebrate b'day parties but to bid farewell to roommates.

I still wish to remember so many moments as i know, these moments are temporary .. because .. life changes!
