207 has returned for the first get-together of the year....and the cause for the occasion couldn't be better....rohin "waaaazzzaaa" rajagopal's birthday. the dude turned 22 on march 27th, and since we hadn't given him a bash last year, a grand one had to be called for this time. and suthin and merin offered to chip in on account of their bdays as well, which occurred in february.
the members of "the weirdos" arrived at the destination at different times, but by evening the entire gang minus me had assembled in our choice of accommodation(i was absent on account of college business, and thus i cannot comment on the events that happened before i arrived, but it couldn't be much since i wasn't there, right?).
by the time i'd made my grand entry into cocoa tree, rohin and his special someone had been off to a special place(a surprise plan for rohin well engineered by the banshee, but spoiled foolishly and unexpectedly by a certain show-off).
the 10 of us finally reunited under one roof in our place of stay. the "serious" gift + the funny gift and the cake were already in place, and it was just the matter of waiting for the right time for the stuff to come out. the right time came and rohin was duly presented with the funny gift....which was a pair of slippers, to be worn inside the house. and by house, we mean 207. the days of waking up from bed to find one pair of OUR slippers missing are finally over.
the "serious" gift was also something that discreetly benefited the 207 members.....a pair of puma sandals. and thus, jazim can finally get his converse shoes back.
the cake was brought forward without further ado. then we resumed our usual business of fooling around...which i don't have to mention here explicitly.
fast forward to the morning after a comfortable night of sleep, and then it was time for the BIG TREAT! the venue was the steak hot-spot named "the attic". that afternoon brought us some good photography, a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, not-so-good food and a surprise incident. maybe the quality of the food didn't meet the requirements of the bill, but hey....we had a wonderful time. :)
the bday bash culminated in a return to the hotel and some finishing touches to our get-together, as we packed our bags to head back home.
never can i foresee how many more meetings are in store for us...not even now, when college life has drawn to a close for some of us. but that's the best thing about us...the sheer unpredictability of how something just somehow pops up and we end up together again. and i attribute all this to the following:
my fellow man utd fan: suthin
my born-enemy: jency
my rockstar roomie: jazim
my tiny little pixie: merin
my personal source of laughing gas: sreeja
my sleeping partner: zubin(woops...too much info?)
my flight partner: susan
my guitar-wielding mate: rohin and
my fan when i'm high: irene.
vysh.....signing out.
