One more Birthday,...more madness!!!


Birthday again this week and this time it was Deepti and the madness continued!! And I cannot call this post "the three musketeers" for the simple reason that we had a fourth one this time..and believe me this post will be ode to that person!! I will, like any good ex-journalist hide her identity till she says I can use it!!! So till i hear from her, for our benefit we will call her P!:) And believe me this will be a long post!! And like the Hindi movies and Hindi Tele serials will have lots of twists and turns in the end!!!
The day started like any other normal day with N and D asking where are you Sumita!! and with my saying "in office" and they both saying Arre Waah..but that does not mean that N was in office too..She walked in at 11.45 and ofcourse did not have her card to come in so called me and since I was not in office she called D to open the door for her!! And entering she said..what are you guys doing? Let's go for lunch..I am hungry...D and I in unison screamed out...NO..not now..we will work for one more hour..N who was with P (N and P came together to work)went back to her office..ofcourse saying..YOU GUYS!!!

So after checking with D, lunch at Pasta? in Castro was decided and booked!
The booking was made for 12.30 but till 12.35 we were still in office!! Now we could not even travel real time(Star Trek) as even then we would be late.
So after some deliberations and mud slinging as to who all delayed we hopped onto ..Ofcourse N's Car..now with her driving we have got addicted to it!! Anyone driving properly feels something is wrong!! esp for the lunch escapades from office!!
So off we started for D's Birthday lunch. Somehow the road to the resturant is always about 15-20 mts but coming back (mostly in N's car) is always about 35-45 minutes..the roads seem to stretch as N is always super confident about the way!!
Achaa so we reached Castro and N makes a dash in to the side the road..well the way was right but the way she did it..hmmmm lesser spoken is better!!
And as usual the parking in Castro..but then we saw the multi storey parking and both N and S in unison said this is the one let's park here..but P said NO..yahaan se bahut chalnaa padegaa..Let's go to the next one!!And N started screaming please one of you say where to go!!! P again said Bahut Chalna Padega..we will have to walk a lot from here!! But by then N was inside the parking and said let it be!!!Finally found parking and then the elevator! And as soon as we came out of the parking what do we see..RIGHT in FRONT OF US!!! PASTA?...ofcourse a burst of laughter and everyone looking at P and saying..Chalna Padegaa ( we will have to walk>>))
And then we settle down ( ofcourse after deliberating again..Inside or Outside and then after saying Outside outside..finally sitting Inside!!)

And now the story starts of the lunch menu..BUT now I also need to take a break and you also must be tired of reading..so let's all take a break and get back later to read what happened next!!!
