What seemed like a good ol' farewell meeting with friends turned out VERY different......
It started quietly, at the blue star bus stop, where three of us from anna nagar boarded the bus....the trip there was quite uneventful.....
The three of us (me, NK and maheshwari) got down near Spencer's and walked it up to down under......we'd set out at 1:30 and reached by 2:10....
Turned out we were a bit early, or rather, the others were a bit late.......
We started with a round of bowling, and it was DISASTROUS.... i bowled 7 straight gutterballs on that slippery alley :D.....the 8th shot also went into the gutter but miraculously bounced back and hit the last pin... off the mark at last.....and that was a good omen......that was followed by a strike...then another one (i dunno where that came from!!!!) and then a spare!!!!! woooohooo!!! i finally ended with 102 or 106 or sumthin, all in 5 chances...

we then played pool while sipping some crappy frozen pepsi (yuck)......and by that time every1 turned up...
the second game was a bit less eventful.....i got a 97 so did shouri ,gunaa 102 maheshwari 100 i guess......
Then we went to sathyam to watch nite at the museum 2....it started off a bit slow, but the ending was HILARIOUS!!! And the epilogue, showing Joey Motorola, well that was worth the wait!!!! the movie ended at around 6:30.
But it was when we left the cinema that the fun really started....it was raining cats and dogs....and the 6 of us got drenched trying to get to the main road to get an auto......a bit of rain running later we found ourselves at yuri's........after a bit of cs, we all said our goodbyes.....me NK and maheshwari left together....after 10 minutes of fruitless waiting for a bus, the three of us decided to walk ahead and see whether there was any 24A bus anywhere in sight...we reasoned that in the heavy traffic, the previous bus wouldn't have got far......and we were right....
Up ahead in the distance, we saw a shimmering light (sorry eagles...) yes, a 24A bus.......
It was far ahead, but we decided to run for it......Fortunately, the traffic was heavy......Unfortunately, the rain was heavier!!!!!
At precisely this moment, my mom called, saying that i could come however i pleased, as long as i didn't get wet in the rain!!!.....man, what timing!!!
In a while, we found ourselves running in the middle of the road in literally ankle deep water, cars and bikes around us furiously honking......we dodged to the left, we dodged to the right........what's more, wethought we saw pranit in one of the buses and we ran like crazy chickens yelling, 'pranith, we see you.....' we later found out that pranith had gone home by auto...... people around us would have had a blast, seeing three crazy punks on the road....
But all this while, we drew ever closer to the bus....... we finally caught up with the bus and pounded (rather pulverised) the door asking the driver to open it......but the driver turned out to be an absolute ASSHOLE........the pitiless SOB that he was, he refused to open the door,saying that he could only open it at a bus stop.....well, we thought, how far can he next bus stop be? 100 metres ahead?
so we decided to give chase....turned out that the deluxe bus didnt stop everywhere.....the next stop turned out to be more than a kilometre away!!!!! And on that stretch of road, the trafic was a bit light,so the bus was far ahead of us......By this time we found ourselves somewhere near Shopper's stop......
we went into the Creamy Inn nearby, but came out almost immediately....seemed no one had enough cash on him!!!
We then decided to take an auto home, as by this time we were drenched....we found one soon enough....Home sweet home,huh?????
Think again.................
barely 100 metres from where we started, the auto broke down!!!!!!
we were on some bridge over some stinky thingy they call the cooum river.......
Then NK got a brain wave....he thought he knew a shorcut to taylors road....and the way he sounded.....well, we just fell for it........we entered something like a shithole and our soles felt slimy....but no one had the guts to look down.....:P as we walked, it seemed increasingly clear that we were heading nowhere....maheshwari spotted a gate ahead and said that we were entering a colony....NK was like, u dickhead, we are in a colony and we are entering the main road.....needless to say, NK was wrong and maheshwari was right!!!!!
so we turned and walked back the entire half kilometre to the bridge, climbed up the stairs and then finally took the right flight of steps down.......
a bit more of walking, and we found ourselves somewhere near our beloved Alma Mater.....by this time, we were thirsty, and we decided to drop in at pranith's place which was close by (yeah by this time, we knew where we were...)
MAN, you should have seen the look on pranith's face when we popped up on his doorstep!!!!! he had reached ages ago, and his eyes totally popped out of their sockets.......finally, after a drink, we entered the main road....by this time we would have run at least 5 or 6 kilometres, if u include the losing our way part.........and the way the roads were clogged with traffic, we would have reached faster than if we had taken an auto.......
finally, we entered an auto on poonamallee high road at the bus stop where we used while returning from school.....somehow, it all came back to this.......we even considered going to school, but decided that the security guard would have had a heart attack....u see, he dreaded the sight of NK and me even in broad daylight and in clean clothes or even MVM uniforms.....
The auto trip was ok, we just waded in knee deep water at some places.........me and maheshwari got down at blue star, while NK carried on......
well, the three of us returned home to absolutely WILD parents, but it was worth it.....man, what fun we had!!!!!
