We are foodies…

As I mentioned in my last blog ‘Dinner Tonight’… where I was emphasizing on how complex and tough at time it becomes when the decision has to be made ‘What’s cooking for Dinner’ as usual today also it was not any different.

But today it happened to be bit easy… as we had some rice prepared… not sufficient for two of us that lead to an easy and simple decision of preparing Chinese and India snacks as we prepared ‘Fried-Rice’ and ‘Pakodas’

Need i that it was yummy….

While we both were preparing for dinner, she commented… ‘It is good that we both are foodies, else it would have been tough if any one of us was not that inclined in all preparing process’

And guess what I myself feel the same…

Ahhh… we didn’t had any Wine to toast for tonight’s dinner… nevertheless the dinner was amazing and we enjoyed it over a nice ‘Desi Romantic movie – I Hate Love Story’

Friends... Callling... Friends Calling

Tring- Tring

That the sound of Phone bell ringing and yes we love to listen to the very simple noise ‘Tring-Tring’ I feel the tone became immortal due to ‘Matrix’.

We 5 college time buddies currently located at 5 different places, once in a while we all get over a long chat over phone. Mostly I being the co-coordinator and get into a conference call, and this time after long email thread, mostly delayed as I went missing mostly I was caught up in some office work, and yes finally last Sunday we all were able to get in a call.

What’s the tough part, getting all together is tough part, geographical location (time-zone) added more flavor to it (10:00Pm in India / 4:30pm in London / 11:30am New-York), and mostly time zone is not an issues… the promise that I made to setup the call was something similar to the promises that our dear politician make. However, unlike politician i fulfilled my promise.

Agenda for this time, was to finalize our next India trip and two of my buddies are getting married (may there Bachelorhood rest in Peace, may they live they life fullest till the last moment)

This time to we were not able to catch hold of a friend as he was driving his way back home (as he pretended to an idol motorist, Not to talk while driving)

Did we reach a conclusion: oh yeah we all are in a FIX,

Me: As my VISA is expiring not sure when will I be getting renewal petition (last time it took 8 months, would be a rare care, but not sure would be a usual pattern in my case)

Mirror-Axe: Ahh this Dude has his own trouble not sure what would be his project state would be…. So in short he in a limbo state but yet we all count on him

Vicks: (The Groom No. 1) has is own problem with some documentation, still in doubt will he be able to make up for ‘seconds friend wedding’ Good to know that his plan are fixes, nothing new with him as usual plan works better in last minute

The Perfectionist ‘U’: What to say about, he is the ‘YES Man’ in our gang, He will say YES to each and everything, until the very last moment, you can tell or at time I guess even he cant tell what will happen, but he will make all possible attempts

Groom No.2: hmmm, at this moment nothing decided. If you all have seen Matrix 2: ‘Where in Neo, is stuck in a train station not sure which way to go, time is the Key’ ame is the case with him, he in between switching jobs & City not sure were he will be, I bet the soon he make his mind.

Awaiting for the next email thread to being so we all are getting back in a call….. tring… tring…

This is the our latest pic, whene we all met after 4 years:

Dinner Tonight!!!

It is one such question that I can bet would be haunted to many of us…. I used to feel this question scares the most if you are staying alone (Bachelor life… I cont disclose the benefit of it… as I am no more in that elite group)… but to say the truth it do not matter if you are a couple….

Whenever this question comes…. I feel I am pushed back to my school days when I not prepared for the surprise quiz I would be completely clueless and would be mumbling… the same effect still take place at time when I, and now we both are confused… what cooking tonight… or what’s for Dinner tonight

So as usual we were sitting and chit chatting and were having a hard time to decide what to cook for dinner… and we both mumbling and not able to decide what to and what not to….

But know as the Rotis are being prepared…. I should say that we are having a nice full course meal….

Dal prepared by her…. Soybean sabzi prepared by her, and Rotis again by her….

It’s time to savor the nice meal we prepared…. bon appetite….

After all this effort we are done for Monday only… this do not assure again tomorrow we will not be chased by the same question…. why to worry today thinking of tomorrow…

Mantra of life…. ‘Live in the moment’

So what did you had or what are you having for dinner tonight…..

This is what we both had....

Bryan Adams live in concert

Dream come true.... Bryan Adams

Yesterday for the first time me and my wife got a chance to attend a acoustic show of the one and only ‘Bryan Adams’ (thanks to my dear friend

s who gifted us the tickets).

Bryan Adams a name that does not require an introduction, many of us has spent our thousands of hours listening to his songs….

My first experience of listening to Bryan Adams songs I remember is when I was at a friend’s place, who had bought a new Desktop computer, the person who assembled his computer was good enough to dump tons of songs and loads of software (which is bet would be still sitting in cold storage to be used).

While we were scanning all the songs ‘Summer of 69’ caught our attention, that was the day and 27^th Jan was when my dream came true as we were at ‘Beacon Theater – NY’ watching Bryan Adams singing songs that we would have listened more than million times but still listening those songs from Bryan is for sure to get goose bumps

Wait ended at 8:10pm… when Bryan came on stage with Greg (who was on Piano)… and they stated jamming and first was ‘Run to You’ followed by ‘Cuts like a knife’ ….

He made the mood high with funny little jokes and liners…. The one I have to mention…. Before that some things about New Yorkers, they love to use the most versatile word in English vocabulary ‘Fuck’…

So Bryan starts with this incidence ‘He was walking down Park Avenue, where he saw a car met with an accident and it was being towed, he stopped and asked the person, ‘Hey what had had happened’ and the guy replies…. ‘Hey you are the Bryan Fucking Adams, hey Joe see we have Fucking Adams’ (This is a gesture of excitement’) to under one should listen ‘Rajneesh (OSHO) – the ultimate speech on work fuck’

Bryan then kept on singing his famous number and kept on his small talk… As the evening passed his songs made each one of us reach a trans state.

Bryan would have bowed and said good night 3 to 4 times, and each time he came back and continued…

And finally with ‘have you really loved a woman’ he signed off for the evening, but this evening I would be remembering for ages to come.
