Mini-reunion

So we had more fun meeting each other last night, than the dandiya.

It was as late as 7:45 PM before Tarun, Ranjeet and I got together in front of the Domino's outlet near SG. We rode to the venue of the dandiya. Vinay arrived a few minutes later. Dhananjay was engrossed in the dancing, and we were feeling a litle awkward. So we went outside to have a chat. I had hoped I would get to dance with some pretty girls, but the only girl was DSP's fiancee Prajakta. At the first break in the dance and music, we went back inside. DSP came over and urged us to dance. My social backwardness took over, and I made a fake excuse that I'd received a phone call from home and had to hurry back! I left the hall at 9:05 without telling DSP, who had started the second round of dancing.

Before I left, the four of us had been making plans of going bowling at 3-D. There was no indication whether dinner would be served at the dandiya, so Ranjeet was also thinking of going out for dinner. I told them I'd call at 9:45 to see if I can make it or not. I went home, had dinner and called Ranjeet at 10:00. He was having dinner at the dandiya venue, and said Sagar, Anand Sarda and Gauri had also shown up. I talked with Sagar and he said they'd all agreed to go bowling.

I got a big surprise when I saw none other than Prashant Rane with his wife! Apparently, when I came on the scene, PRane had not met Tarun. So when the two came face to face, Prashant wanted to introduce him to his wife. The problem was that no matter how hard he tried, Prashant could not remember Tarun's name. Truly PRane style. Anyways after chatting around the venue, we went to 3D and had a bowling session. It was surprising that PRane accompanied us even though he had come with his wife. We asked him out of decency if he wanted to come, and he agreed!

After the bowling, 6 of us (Ranjeet, Tarun, Vinay, Sagar, Dhananjay and I) decided to go have a drink. It was already quite late, and we found the bar Cactus closed. We went to the coffee shop in Blue Diamond after that, only to find that they did not serve liquor after 11:30! So we all had coffee. Came home at 1:30 AM. Quite a good get-together.
