How would you feel if one fine day you get to hear that everything that you had planned for a whole year gets cancelled due to unavoidable circumstances?Well that is what happened to me. A few days before Shasthi I got the news that our annual ritual of going out for lunch with school friends was not to happen this year. I was so dismayed.
But when Kasturi called up the other day informing me of a new plan to go out on Ashtami, I was elated.
Nature did not play spoilsport at all. The weather was perfect. We ( Kasturi,Mouli,Sukanya and myself) enjoyed a lot. Sukanya and I had reached first and so did a bit of pandal hopping. Then we headed straight to Hatari where we got our seat pretty early. Thanks to Kasturi's brother booking a table for us :-)
After a lot of discussion we finally zeroed in on the menu. It was Tandoori chicken (everyone's FAVOURITE), Mixed chowmein,Chilli Lamb, Sweet n sour chicken and fresh lime soda.
As usual we were overfed and could hardly walk.We took a cab to Maddox square. This is one pandal that I try not to miss. There's nothing special about the pandal,but the idol is so mesmerising. After our adda session we came back home. Enjoyed the day a lot,don't know whether we'll be able to meet again or not next year or in the years to follow (although next year shasthi's on oct 1st which is a saturday). But today's day out will be treasured in my memory forever fondly..
And I give a lot of credit to Kasturi for organising it so well:-)Thanks Kasturi!
