I know promises are always hard to keep… that too when it is time bound it’s really difficult. I wanted to finish off with this second post but it took more than what I thought this will take. Last post I wrote till I reached home. Nothing much that night or I should say morning as I reached at 2 A.M. Just dozed off and woke up for diwali has bath and was waiting for the whole family to reach home. Then we offered prayers to god and that was the time to wear new dress, I should say I had a surprise. Last two years I didn’t celebrate diwali and this year diwali didn’t want me to celebrate it. The pant which I bought for diwali, had the zip broken so I was unable to wear it. I thought at least I will wear the shirt but to my surprise it was too short. I thought I just wanted a short shirt but all I got was a shirt which was too short. Then I was left celebrating the diwali in old dress only. I had great time with my brothers and sisters. It was a nice family get-together. Then I returned to Erode on Sunday evening. I had to return since I had a get-together with my schoolmates that evening. Myself, Vijayan (SPL), Venkatesh Mani, Subash, Sokkumuthu, Gokula Krishnan and Murugaraj, this was the list of people who was there. Ragavendran missed out as he had to go to Karur.
We met at Sokkumuthu’s house, and then decided to go to a restaurant. We went to Padmam, one of the good restaurants in the town. It was good look wise and I felt the atmosphere like it was candle light dinner effect. The lighting was dim and was good. Then we went on ordering and chatting about the good old times and the old stories. The lighting had a small impact on food. Venkatesh who mistook salt instead of pepper added more and more and his soup tasted like hot sea water… thanks to the lighting. Then came the climax when we finished our dinner and the bill came. Venkatesh who wanted to pay it by card and the waiter said “No Sir. We don’t accept cards…” Now people looked at me as though I am Nostradamus since I said “Let’s check whether they accept cards” just at the time we were entering the restaurant. Luckily we had some cash left and also the bill was not much we paid and went out to our homes. Then Tuesday I took left and boarded the train in the evening and came back to Bangalore at 8 P.M. It was a nice journey and I had lot of time to spend with friends and people whom I was waiting to see.
I have also attached the few snaps that we took during the get-together. I feel great for finishing this post… I feel like as though I wrote an epic, every day, every minute and every second was thinking of writing and finishing it off but couldn’t find time to do the same. Finally I have done it… So cheers, hope there are lot more to come like this in my life.
