Bevdaas at the Le Meridien

Srihari a.k.a Kona had recently shifted jobs, with a significant rise in pay and decided to celebrate it in style... Blessed with a cunning intellect, he decided to take the most safest route while arriving upon a venue. So here we are, the whole 934 guzzler group, at the Le meridian for their dinner buffet(with unlimited alcohol).

We went in a taxi. Any other mode of transport would have resulted in grave injuries - self inflicted or otherwise.

The party started out well; the intent was to make the Le Meridian management realise their folly in allowing a team like Bevdaas to go on a drinking spree. The bevdaas has already created history by running up a bill for Rs 25000 in another hotel named "Bon South". Last that I heard, that was the end of that offer - not surprised considering, I had witnessed a tear in the owners eyes while saying thank you to us. Guess it was not from gratitude :)

           Anyway Le Meridian is a 5 star hotel, and the 3 musketeers(Gibu Rajan, Hari and JD) had already teamed up on one side of table. I smelled a mutiny. Rajan was in his elements from dawn and I was awaiting an outburst from somewhere. 

Now Jd, has this uncanny knack of making foes with the most pleasing of all peoples. Some guys never learn from mistakes and he is undoubtedly the leader of that pack. Once you get acquainted with JD, it is easy to predict his transition to a "Kachada". You can derive it from his eyes :)

What fools we were to imagine, that he had undergone a definitive change, once he had celebrated the prior new year with a bloodbath. That time, he made the mistake of catching a ladder with the senior most JD in a scenic, and serene apartment in remote Ooty.. Guess that treatment stands forgotten, for he was almost begging everyone to give him a dose of that yesterday; luckily for him - none obliged. 

                      There is a self proclaimed intellectual amongst us named "Pranthan". As usual, he was trying the futile exercise of imparting his vast knowledge on the guzzler group while they went about going their usual job - guzzle drinks. Below is a snapshot of him.

Other than that everything went as per script, with Jihad exploring all of the 100  dishes served for the buffet, JD trying to irritate the hell out of the well behaved 'malayalee' waiters.

Jihad is really on a fascinating transformation journey. I am still confused about what has bought about this change in the alpha male, but he never ceases to maze me, by refusing drinks, going to the mosque without fail and staying out of trouble a.k.a "ladders". I am now on the verge on believing that we are actually in the kali-yuga.

Well Jd tried hard to break jihad's resolve yesterday but he being a seasoned warrior(has seen through umpteen no of ladders) stayed put :)

When you have unlimited drinks at your disposal, and a team of bevdaas what is the logical conclusion... You get a team of drunkards...Well, what happened after 10pm is still quite hazy for me to recollect. The next pic shows me unbuttoning my shirt and that implies I am drunk/sloshed.

Well by the time we bid farewell to the not too enthusiastic Le Meridian staff, ladders were on the rise. This pic was taken at the Le meridian entrance, actually the car parking lot

Guess the staff at Le meridian would remember us for a very long time.

Well when I woke up today morning I heard that some ladders had occurred at our place. Anyway no one is hurt and guess all is well that ends well...

Some pics from the celebration

Shootout at the Bevdaas haven

Why do people seek solace in alcohol? Now that's something that needs immediate attention mind you. With India having a very young population, some study or research(there are researches for the type of underwear people prefer nowadays) should be done as to why today's Youth is so addicted to liquor. Now that's from a social perspective

I am writing this, lying on my bed after refusing offers from 2 roomies to start the battle with drinks. Time is just 1pm. I have been in bangalore for almost 5 years now and have traversed across the length and breadth of this city, visited all the pubs, hangouts etc. There is nothing left to do,nothing that captures your imagination and I think it is this solitude that diverts the younger generation to the brink of being alcoholics.

I made a decision on Jan 1st to quit smoking and am happy with that decision. Maybe itz time for me to have second thoughts about alcohol too. Well not this week anyway :)

Got up early today. I don't know why, but I always wake up early on Saturdays and Sundays. Call it the weekend syndrome :)
Srihari, my roomie had bought a new digital camera and I was just playing around with it:)
I am blessed with friends who are always willing to strike a pose
Some samples attached :)
Happy weekend

Confessions of a confused mind....

/*Very very confused -------------

How can a Tall Dark Handsome stud like me still be single at 29? Now that's not a paradox mind u :)
Well, I was pondering over this with my roomie, Jihad. He is a likeminded individual who believes he is the reincarnation of the legendary Genghis Khan. I am blessed with a plethora of MCP's as roommates.
Now when I discuss girls or marriage with Jihad, there is always bound to be a bit of incongruity. We have totally different perceptions of the female sex.
We would juxtapose in front of the mirror in our clustered room and then spend an hour debating over how to win over the opposite sex. This was also getting too redundant nowadays.

Let's try hitting on someone at the Gym, said Jihad.

This is something that we have been planning for some time now, but when it comes down to execution, the plan always falters. The main reason is that to hit on a girl, she has at least got to glance at you for a second. No one would spare us that favor :).
It is said that every dog has a day. I have been waiting for that day to come for a very long time. Hope some angel comes and saves me from this dilemma.

The reason I am writing this: Jihad was telling me, Y not become GAY..God help me !!!

Jihad for u - What a man!!!!
