Well, lot of things happened in the last fortnight (dated till 31st March lol ) and one of the good things was the visit of mouli and Inigo ( read : body and the soul :-), just that this body and soul always go in the opposite direction) to Hyderabad.
It was an unexpected call from mouli on a lazy weekend morning (all mornings are lazy for that matter ) sometime in January, when he announced their arrival to Hyderabad during ugadi weekend (now that's some planning, hats off mouli !!!) .
The day arrived, 27th march 2009, and i was found waiting in the kachiguda railway station for 50 minutes from 5.30 am to 6.20 am as the train was late by quite a few ticks of the clock ( the minute hand of course !!). Mouli as usual had slept over his phone and it got switched off when i was frantically calling him, seeing that it is waste of time i called Inigo and told him that i was waiting in the station, as usual mouli offered dummy explanations saying there was "no tower" and so i got the reply as "Switched Off", well that was one "technologically sound reply"
Finally reached home and had breakfast, got ready and took Inigo to my office to pick up veerakumar's shine that i had borrowed. Showed Inigo my workplace, to my amazement he was impressed with my office ( just thinkin hw his wud be !!). We picked up balaji near hyderabad central and en-route i showed inigo the "strict traffic discipline followed by the hyderabadis".
Three became four when balaji joined us and we started roaming all over Hyderabad ( read : malls and other places of interest :) ) . We were in hussain sagar lake and mouli was talking about "birdies" and how to differentiate them from the "rest", as usual we were mocking him. Balaji and I then went to get a drink ( cool drink of course), then we heard mouli say "I am not interested (??!! :-) !!! ) ". U must have guessed for why and for what!!!
Nothing much we did on saturday except for watching match ( India Vs NZ) and yeah i almost forgot, i prepared lunch for them !! ( they are still alive, that stands testimonial to the preparation, expecting true comments abt it from you guys!!) and in the evening we visited the hyderabad central and prasadz imax and dined at the McD, night was the time for some serious discussions about politics, sports blah blah. Mouli streamed the episodes of "enge brahmanan" by "cho" this was one serial my grandmother asked me to see and i was unable to because of the time, thanks mouli for that!!!
The next day we started early in the morning at around 6 am( tooooooo early for a sunday ) to the new Hyderabad airport for a bike ride. Read more about that here . ( Inigo's blog)
One fine sunday it was, but we ended up paying Rs.400 as "kappam" ( fine) to the police because the shine didn have an RC book ( this was the bad thing, i should ve checked for it) .
Balaji and mouli then went to meet their school friend ( 100 out of the 400 was paid during this time !!) , while inigo and i went to anjappar for lunch. Inigo ordered "naatukozhi biryani" (Country chicken biryani). I being a vegetarian, asked him the difference between the ordinary hen and the country hen, he said the country hen would be smaller but a lot tastier. Just then his order came and true to his explanation the chicken piece was smaller (than he expected !! probably it was killed wen it was a chick). We complained about this to the supervisor, he knew tamil, so it was not so difficult to convey our displeasure. And lo!! ten minutes later the dead hen had given birth to two little dead chicks, that too fried in masala!! To top the things, Inigo kept one of them as leftover ( probably paying homage !! )
They left in the evening garib rath to Bangalore. Nice little weekend with friends, vetti aratai, roaming in bike. We mocked mouli many times, as we wud always do, and dei mouli sorry if anything has hurt you and my sincere apologies and we wud ensure that we will always repeat this in the future !!
Thanks Inigo and Mouli Waiting for u guys to come over here some time again in the near future !!
