Weekend Plan

You sleep at almost 2 in the nite and wake up at 10 minutes to 6 on a sunday morning with 3 alarms buzzing away to glory - Not done boss! Had to make a booking to hire a cab that early in the day for today and here I am - after all that done. Booked a Toyota Camri (wow..I can't wait till 8 am now). We - Vishal, Vinni, Me and Nitin decided yesterday in the party for a drive across the countryside towards yarra valley and lake mountain (where it snows). Cabs are usually very expensive in Australia and so decided to hire a car and fuel it up - would be convenient for us. Hoping that it doesn't rain for I have my eyes all set on that hot air ballooning thing that you can do in yarra valley. Not sure if I can take that for an hour, but I would love to do it once in my life..have seen it in so many movies (remember 'Hum kisi se kum nahi').

What did I do yesterday - I went to Victoria market - did whole lot of wasteful shopping - picking up everything that I thought was good (and which isn't all that good) - then came home, had a quick roasted chicken (from Nandos downstairs) with peri-peri sauce (man, you gotta eat it to belive it - its just yummm), and then off me and chayan went to Saint Khilda's beach. A beautiful beach in the sub-urbs of Melbourne - with awesome apartments facing the beach. I must say, this place is beautiful along the country side. It's so peaceful in here - you actually find people fishing away to glory in solitude on weekends. We would have spent about an hour and a half there, walking along the beach - enjoying the wind and the chill. And then we started to walk - and guess what, we actually walked our way back home - which is approximately 8-9 kilometers from the beach. The walk was so much fun that we just did not wait for a tram or a cab. Will share the pictures soon of the walk. Came back and we had messages on our cell phones for a pre-party at Amit and Abhay's place. 'Hollandia' was the beer today. Not all that bad - but I guess carlsberg yesterday was better anyday. Rohit and Mrigank also arrived today - almost all seem to be in the party mood these days...specially weekends. :-) As usual Anshuman was at his best, dancing and cooking (oh, by the way, I cooked rice pulao for everyone) and for a change this time - it wasn't our favourite anshuman cd playing.

And now I know how it is to be embarrassed to the core - guess I have seen the most embarrassing day of ma' life. :( It happens so guess let's just let it be.
