Last evening.....and off to Bangalore yet again.....

Saw a hoarding last evening having a beautiful female model in standing pose and it spoke loud the line "I used to have it once a week, and now I am having it almost daily". Nothing else was mentioned....who had put that hoarding is unknown to me. But, seems they have been inspired by DNA advertising through hoardings in all over Mumbai.....but atleast it was known that DNA had those hoardings. Imagine, a kid asking his parents what does that sentence mean when he sees that hoarding while going to someplace with parents. Where is the advertising going to. As once said "Sex Sells"...so all advertisers and marketers are making use of this so very effective tool to sell anything and everything under the sun.

Last night our senior batch (previous years Management Trainees) in the company am working in gave us a dinner party. It was at a Pub cum Restaurant - BASERA on the East Coast Road. The ambience there is really good.It has both open air and A/C room seating available. We decided to have an Open Air dinner (weather was good and there were no Mosquitoes). We were a total of 13 who had gone there for dinner.If I comment on dinner then I cannot do justice to it. This is because most of us non-veggies were so over-whelmed with the taste of Chicken Lollipop that we had an over-dose of starters. Starters also included Reshmi Kebab and Tandoori Chicken. Mouth starting to water again. After that we also finished of a plate of Chilli Prawns in a straight go. And then was the time for the main course. We ordered main course for sure - but soon after it was served we realized that we have had an over load of starters. We were unable to finish it all off. But should say, it was a good change from the normal food we have for dinner here in Chennai. Must say food was good, but the whole ambience of the place was even better.

After dinner we went of to one of the senior batchmates home since one of them had a birthday today. At the stroke of the mid-night the cake was cut and the Birthday Girl was duly wished with the cake on the face ceremony taking place. Then, Beer and SMIRNOFF Vodka (yeah not Romanov - which is found in Chennai and Smirnoff is real difficult to find here) along with Sprite, Orange Juice and Tomato juice. We all had a nice bakar session till late into the night. Some of us slept there only.

Well since I have to go of to Bangalore today night, I had to do some packing and some clothes washing so had to wake up Arun early in the morning (6:13am) to drop me home.As of now I am sitting in office and had washed clothes in the morning have to reach home asap and pack my bags and rush to Chennai Central Railway Station from where I have to catch my Bus to Bangalore. Don't get confused buses do not run from Railway Station but from the travel agents place opposite the Railway Station. Lets see after reaching Bangalore where do we go. Third weekend consecutively in Bangalore. Saturday, Sunday and Monday heeehaawwww are HOOOLLLLIIIDDDAAAYYYYYSSSSS.........

Hoping to make good use of my new cam in this trip.
