Spreading the theatre bug - 2

Clap for me, i've been watching plays for three weekends in a row ... HATRICK !!! And today i brought Ashwin to watch Love Letters and he fell in love with it. I still wonder how ? Ashwin wants to go tomorrow too to watch another play but i am struck with some deadlines due on January and unable to go but he doesn't seem to give up, will try my best to make it dude : )

Today was the last show of Love Letters for this season and i dint want to miss it. So i call up Aparna to ask her to join ...

Paartha mudhal naale, unnai paartha mudhal naale ... (no thats not her dialer tune, it was me singing till she picked the call)

Ap : Heyyyyyyyyy !
Me : Hey Aparna ...
Ap : Hey i want to watch Pokiri da, shall we go this evening ?
Me : Today is the last show of Love Letters da ...
Ap : I ve been telling you for a week that i want to watch Pokiri, see i hate Vijay but i heard this movie is good and Prabhudeva has done a good job it seems ...
Me : See even i want to watch Pokiri, infact i've already seen the movie, but still i dont mind going for it but i just spoke to Kavitha da, she badly wants to see Love Letters and you know she fell in love with Karthik after watching The Odd Couple ... Lets not spoil her mood
Ap : Seri seri, Love Letters eh pogalam ...
Me : Ok meet you in 10 mins, bye !

and i hurry up with my next call

Oru maalai ila veyil neram, azhagana illayudhir kaalam (this time it was a dialer tune but for reasons best known to Kavitha alone, she has been having the same tune ever since Aircel came up with this service)

Ka : Hi Dinesh ! (in a hushy tone)
Me : Hey Kavitha ...
Ka : Sollu Dinesh ... (in her trademark tone)
Me : Where are you ?
Ka : Office Dinesh : (
Me : Today is the last show of Love Letters, shall we go
Kavitha thinks for a minute
Me : Aparna said she'll come
Ka : Oh ! ok then count me in (Kavitha and Aparna are die-hard pals, so convincing one of them is enough to get work done)
Me : Ok meet you at 6, bye !

Ashwin was rotfl after hearing this, we have been made to wait many a times by these girls (especially one of us by one of them) and he was more than happy to hear this. Ashwin who wanted to go to the beach this evening has got hooked to plays that he is not ready to even think of going to the beach tomorrow.

Spreading the theatre bug

Of late i got interested in theatres and this bug in me was today extended to Aparna and Kavitha. Today i coaxed them and made them come to watch the play The Odd Couple by Evam. Well after a series of warnings, they join me.

Kavitha : If the play is no good, i'll trash you DINESH !!!
Aparna : Ya di, good that you warned him !!!

And then what happened ? They enjoyed the play more than me, bursting out laughing even at odd scenes. But ofcourse what made Kavitha come readily was the photograph i promised her, she wanted to take a pic with Karthik (remember Alaipayuthey - Naan ok eh, ok illiya ?). Karthik is the co founder of Evam and one of the lead actors in it and he was more than ready for the pic, which made the day for Kavitha. After going home Aparna messaged me that she dint expect the evening to be so good. And Aparna is this girl who is intersted in all such peppy things and she sees more to life than anyone else. Well it made her day too. My collars are up. Ashwin who promised to spend this saturday with us dint turn up. Thirinthitaano ?

Down the ECR

Jan 27th, i woke up early with my mobile's alarm just to pull Ashwin's leg. It was his b'day and i had super fun using his name in my blog (thanks to Incognito, Priya and Kavitha who joined me). I sit and type my b'day post for my buddy before starting to his place to fill his face with cake. But Kavitha had to study and Aparna was too sleepy. Operation cake face was dropped. We decided to meet at Aparna's place at 2 pm and were supposed to surprise Ashwin and cut the cake. Infact Ashwin was so eager in cutting the cake, that he arrived before Aparna and Kavitha.

After the b'day rituals we start to ECR to hit the tracks at Kart Attack. Did someone say karting is like sex ? It lasted only for 5 mins !!! But damn good !!! And all the fun while biking in ECR made the day.

I had to rush to IIT-M because the Madras players were to stage their Five Point Someone, adapted from Chetan Bhagat's best seller. I dint want to leave and Aparna was even pissed with me leaving, it could have been the last show of Five Point Someone in Chennai so i rush to Saarang leaving my Incredibles.

Thanks to me Ashwin's crush in first year of college found him on his b'day ! Reading love notes is not decent but i cant avoid when the couple scribbled on my blog. Eager souls can find it here.

Happy b'day buddy : )

The incredibles !

There is something in meeting best pals which i felt only today. My under grad days was one of the best part of my life and i did make some really good friends there. Three years in college and i have had friends whom i ve loved, hated, fought, missed ... At the end of three years we still are friends. Trust me, no one is like them ... College has showed me what this close friendship and bondage is. I had never bonded this much with any other pals of mine, although things are not the same today, I did make some extremely close friends during my post grad in college as well as the places i went. Even meeting old pals from school was like another new and fevicolly bondage.

Coming back to my under grad pals, it was a last minute plan today and we all decided to meet at the always welcoming Elliots beach. Ashwin as always comes late but when he comes he comes with a BANG !!! All girls go crazy ! We decide to take a walk feeling un comfortable sitting on the platform of the beach where a Santro was parked in front of us and two mad(e) for each other couple smooching inside ...

Walking down the beach to the waters was like walking down the memory lane. The freedom, the carefree nature was no more there in any of us. After about half an hour of walk and bird watching we come back to the platform and had to pretend to be surprised as Aparna and Kavitha too dropped in. They did make a big plan (err ... conspiracy) to surprise us, but sadly nothing worked, thanks to the pretty girl on Kumaran Silks hoarding who distracted them (no the girl dint distract them).

And after the usual taking of pics routine we four walk down the beach. Sitting near the water, each of us had something to tell. It was so clear that each one was desperate for this moment, but no one actually showed, after spending some quality time over there, we start and after reaching home there is a series of SMS, saying the meet was too good and we should meet often. I was lost of words for messaging them, it was like a guy being lost of words when he is trying to convince a girl. The day was so good and the meet up was the icing on the cake (oops ice cream).

It did create a magic, a magic which made all the tensions and worries disappear. Things around me seems to be nice and fresh, even the rasam sadam i had this night was so tasty that i kept asking my mom for more. Having some really close pals is one gift but the oppurtunity to meet up with them inspite of everyone's busy schedule is another gift. Ashwin, Aparna, Kavitha - The Incredibles !!!

And there is one more friend Janani who would have been more than ready to join us but she recently got married and joined the league of t nagar aunties. We all miss you Janani.
