Weekend Weekly

Two awesome weekends. The Sharc-in-Hyd stories maybe narrated later, this is a Bombay weekend special post.

It's nice to be back, as usual, but it was such a complete thrill to be in Bombay again after so long.

The first day, I was lucky to have the house to myself for the day+night, so I lazed for a few hours, ate cheese pav bhaji from the best pav bhaji joint in the world, announced my presence to a few, went met Khushnuma, went to Merwans and ate the yummiest yummies, took a train to Dadar, walked to JJ Mehta, bought my brand new 50mm 1.8f Nikkor lens, took a train to Bandra, hit Carter road, met Aarohi, found Hakim's Aalim, got a fancy haircut, walked back to Carter Road, ate at Crepe Station, ate like a pig, went home, umm, had fun. Nevermind what.

Day 2: Woke late, scrambled eggs, train to Marine Lines, went to the firetemple, met Mommy, walked to college, took photos, got yelled at for taking photos of college, ate pani puri in the canteen, looked at the kids who now inhabit the foyer, took a cab to Colaba, had lunch at the regular 'Food Inn', met Granny, slept for 2 hours at granny's, woke up, walked to the Taj and Apollo Bandar, walked to Marine Drive, saw the sunset, took photos, took a bus to VT, stayed until the light was right, took photos, train to Thane, met the boys at band practice, heard some awesome new tracks, regular Split nonsense, various dramatic announcements, bike ride to Mel's house, met the girls and Kabir, watched the others drink, shared the recent developments that are still surprising me, stayed over at Mel's.

Day 3: Home early, met Dad, saw the family's beloved music concert DVD - Scorpion's Acoustica, spent time with mommy and daddy, ate dhansak, got packed, rushed to bus-stop, saw parts of Om Shanti Om in the awesome-luxurious sleeper bus (we had mini screens on each bunk-bed) and arrived late to Hyd.
