Met half the college gang today. After the trademark contemplating, we decided (by chance) to go to this place called Spirit. It is above the less popular Zen outlet. The place had very few options in food, but had fancy (and good) mocktails. The ambience was nice, the service a little strange. Anyway, we had fun. The boys are doing well in their jobs – Jayant has a fancier business card now, and Vidur has a fancy designation (senior derivatives trader :O). Amiya’s brand new hair straightener is making her look prettier. And me, well, I am the same old.
After two drinks (one I had because it was free and we didn’t want to let it go) and some portion of a sad pizza, I did some speed shopping too. I am finally getting tired of it. There’s still so much more of it to do that even the thought of it is making me drowsy.
Anyway, after the first pseudo lunch, I was supposed to have another lunch. Bhai and Megha had plans to take me out. So this time Piccadelhi. Yes, the same place that refused to serve me liquor last March. 
Again, the ambience was nice, the food average and overpriced.
We tried to shop a little more. And then uff ho gaya mera. Back home now!
And back to the project now.

You make me feel hungry. I shall go have a pizza right now. NOW!Seems you are getting tired of all the fun – you complaining about shopping?! :O I expected better from you, Richa.First collage, last pic, Amiya looks positively scary. She’s definitely going to haunt me in my nightmares a couple of times at least. I always look at Jayant long and hard, in pics and in person. He just doesn’t look like a journalist. Don’t ask me what it means. Reviewing my comments, I realize I have no nice things left to say to anybody. Maybe that’s just because I’m getting a little grumpy sitting at home. Need to go out soon. And now since I’m blogging again, I shall scream at the top of my voice on the topmost floor of my house (where I happen to be sprawled on the bed right now with the laptop firmly set on my fast expanding tummy and slowly moving up and down as I breathe in and out), MF.End of comment.Over and out.

You didn’t mention how we just got handed a pamphlet of that place and still we just couldn’t decide where to go, we immediately turned and entered… and the pamphlet lady was looking so surprised & happy, lol. Instant effect of the pamphlet!! :DSend me all the pics no. I mean, the nicer ones of mine!! 😛 And you know which one’s getting un-tagged if you put it up on Fb! :POh you didn’t see Jay’s shades na, the ones he bought after you left. Damn cool.

@AmiyaI know! I was scared I’d do something of the sort and risk facing your wrath again, but I couldn’t help it. Maybe 22nd June isn’t a good day for me to speak at all. I promise I’ll be nicer to you tomorrow onwards. Or even later today if Providence permits.

@ SwetankDude, run for your life.Spirit invariably reminds me of ALL the days we’ve spent there in college, thanks to their happy hours. Are they still on? The beer, beer.

@Swetank: What do I look like then? Maybe I should go back to the kurta-jeans look I used to sport in college. On second thoughts, I’d rather not.Yeah, it was a fun day. Nice lunch, nice drinks, nice pictures and some good, quality time with friends after a long time.

@JayantNope, it’s not the kurta-jeans look that I see you in. On the contrary, I’d probably expect you to (in your journalist avatar) wear more formal clothes, y’know. Don’t know, it’s not just you. I don’t even see myself in a corporate job couple of months down the line, wearing suits and leather shoes, making presentations etc. Just feels like we are growing up too fast. I’d rather be a student for a much longer time.How’s the new job, btw? More exciting?

SwetankSo did you have the pizza?Yeah, I never thought I would complain about shopping. But I am doing it. I just hope it is temporary. :(I am thinking hard – I can’t imagine you being grumpy. You’re one of the few sane bloggers I know. Get that butt moving and stay normal.AmiyaLMAO! Yes, those weren’t yours. I should have put a disclaimer. :)Sent the pics, and not uploading the un-tag-able pics, don’t worry! :)Yea, missed his shades. Koi photo kheech ke mujhe bhejo!RohitThey did have the free beer. But I didn’t see any mention of happy hours. Just a pint free with each pizza/pasta.JayantYeah, after too long! But I’m just glad we managed. Just wish Neha and Tarun were there too.

@ Swetank: Oh, but I do dress up in formals, but obviosuly I wouldn’t want to come dressed up in formals even when I’m meeting up with friends on a Sunday. No one would, I’m sure. :)I know what you’re saying – I feel a similar urge at times to go back to studying. But there is still time for that, I tell myself then. What I am learning right now will best complement what I might learn 3 years from now.@ Rohit: If that is all you ever did there, then obviously it’ll ‘invariably’ remind you of that.@ Richa: Oh yeah, how I WISH all of us could have met! 😦 I went to Planning Commission for a conference on Tuesday and guess who I bumped into at the reception! It was so nice to see her after so long and that too so unceremoniously. 🙂
