This started quite suddenly when Aseem had the brainwave ( I dunno why he’s the inspired one in this story, usually it’s Chandresh or GOM- Grand Ol’ Man for you). Anyway, before we start on the same, I have to remind you guys that Oldie and Avikare not here on this leg, Avik’s leg is broken or somewhat, and Oldie’s legs are carrying him to Daman or thereabouts…. and now that the accounts have been cleared, let’s begin….
I ended up attending the Retail class thinking it’d expedite the process of planning, and nothing fruitful came out of it except it didn’t gimme a chance to second-think my decision, coz I’d have ended up making some sorta financial argument against the thing anyway, and my balance sheets have been anything but positive lately and only today did I pay off my 3 month old debt to Aseem, but we’re deviating off the topic here…..
Oh as a postscript, I did succeed in marking attendance for oldie, and ask a couple of questions that I’m sure will get me a retaliation in some other subject pretty soon if not later….
The Planning Process started off with good ol’ google, and pretty soon we’d realised that the quaint little town was pretty popular with folks, and all the usual places were booked… and it came down to some place called oak’s inn or summat…. oh wait, I missed out the good parts.
The Good Parts:
Rao n people are having snacks in the canteen.
GOM : “Upar aa jaa yaar, plan finalise karte hain….”
Someone at the other end: “Yaar, beep beep khaane to de … ”
GOM (To Us, after 2-3 such attempts) ” Main nahin jaa raha in… beepers beep beep beeper ke saath.” 😛
GOM has a temper alright, trouble is it’s too well-masked by the Pride, Blender’s Pride 😛
So everyone swallowed the pride ( figuratively here, in the good ol’ metaphorical way) and decided to plonk for Lansdownejaiharikhal.wordpress.comedible reason to believe is a good place, apart from apparently being the place Ruskin Bond lives. Checklist: Tavera, woollens, camera, me (check 🙂 laptop ( not allowed) cellphones( well , parental controls)
Let’s get underway. Lansdowne, here I come.
