Finally made up my mind to write about the get together(GT) at my place . I have been planning to do this from so many days and had asked Pavan to send across the photos , so that I can add them in the post. But he had clicked ONLY 3 pics :P .
So, this GT was being planned from long time. There were lot of complaints from everyone that I never invite anyone to my place ;) . To my bad luck , I did invite DIvya and Sandeep for "Tea" , but due to unavoidable circumstances , that event also didn't happen :( .
Also , though I have picked up some cooking skills after marriage , nobody was ready believe that I can cook :P But why should only my culinary skills be tested :P Let everyone prove that they can cook :D So , it was decided that everyone should get at least one food item for GT ;) . Then started fights over chain mails as to who will get what :D Myself and Div were fighting over vada and myself and Vid wanted to make payasa. Looks like I was only fighting with everyone :D So , finally after lot of discussion , the list was finalized :
Me - vada , pulav
Sneha - gulab jamun
Pavan - khara pongal
Divya - mlore bajji
Vidhya - payasa
I called up Prabha to invite her and told her the rule. She threatened me that she will send a mail to everyone asking them not to get anything and make me cook a proper dinner :D I got scared that she will influence everyone into not bringing anything and the whole plan will go wrong ;) So , I asked her not to get anything but simply come to my place :D She relented :D
Finally , we decided the date and time for GT . Sad thing was , Ashu and John couldn't be part of this plan since they were out of station :(
The D-day arrived. First to come were Sneha and Maneesh.They were in a hurry since they had some other plans as well after this GT. Sneha had got yummy gulab jamuns :) I was still preparing pakodas when they arrived.
One by one everyone arrived . Divya was working that day ,so she couldn't get Mangalore bajji . Div , it is still pending on you ;) Krish got chocolate ice cream , Prabha and Surya got Potato Chips.
We started off with UNO . Some people were new to the game , so there was a round of explanation ;) Maneesh and Hari seemed to be experts in the game , and were coming up with lot of new rules in every round of the game :D .The pakodas and chips were gulummed during the game ;) Then Sneha , Maneesh and Div wanted to leave . So it was time for snacks ;) So out came Khara pongal , pulav , Hari's tasty payasa , gulab jamun , ice cream and chips ;) Everything tasted wonderful and we ate and ate ;)
Before Sneha,Maneesh and Div left , we got a group photo clicked ;) .
The rest of us continued with the fun. There were great rounds of singing by Vidya,Hari and Yashu :) Then we started of with our favorite game dumb charades :D After another hilarious 1-2 hours spent , it was getting late for everyone. It was time to say bye for the evening. Expression on Prabha's face before getting onto Pavan's bike was priceless :D
Another great evening with lots of food , fun and happiness :) Hope to have more such get togethers in future :)
EDIT (by Pavan) : Rash, seems like you don't remember the DC round much ;). This was one of our best DC game ever :D. And there were new players too. Me, Krish, Yashu, Sandeep,Surya were one team & Vids,Hari,Prabha,Rash were the other. Rashmi was in great guessing form I should say :D Recollecting some of the hilarious ones enacted here:
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of the fleet street & Cloudy with a chance of meatballs : Both by debutant Hari. He was trying to enact 'ball' ad guesses were bowl,throw, catch etc :D
The Prestige : Me. I tried enacting Prestige cooker and Yashu guessed the movie name "The cooker man" :D
The Manchurian Candidate : Prabha. She enacted "chat item" and thenVids rattled off all the chat items there are - panipuri,bhelpuri, pav bhaji,vada pav etc etc :D
Ittefaq : Me again. I took the easy way out on this one. Split it and enacted the F-word. We are a very,very,very clean group BTW :D
Any other funny ones? Please add if anyone remembers. For the TFTs, Dumb Charades will never go out of fashion :) Lemme see :D
