Reunification

This weekend was really gr8888888.. and rememberable moment for me as I went to pune to meet my college days sweet frnds(sharmaji,chow & yash),specially chow who has came from US.I started from b'lore on thursday night and reached pune on friday evening.As it was long journey,so i had taken one novel(Tao of Physics),which i have hardly read 30-40 pages.It was based on linkage b/w physics and old time religion ,which has always forced me to sleep.So most of the journey i was sleeping and rest of the time was excited about time, i have planned ahead in pune.

Finally when i reached pune,chow and sharmaji came to recieve me(as they have already reached pune thru flight and arranged for a marvellous hotel near station).Yash was expected to join us late in night after his job shift.As he already took lot of holidays for his brother marriage and his father operation,so we planned pune as destination of our reunion else i was looking forward for Bhopal(to refresh once again our college days).Anyways,days at pune was fantastic.

On friday evening, we three left for FC road and had some good stuff(pav bhaji) in a restuarent.Mean while did lot of bakar with chow.
We also called up Kaul baba(one of our batch mate) to same place and he was not ready to believe that we all were in pune.Kaul took lot of time to reach FC road,so in the mean time we guys took a big round of FC road(2-3 times).
Finally we have settled down with kaul in Subway,shared lot of jokes(as all the time i was pulling kauls leg:-).With kaul we took our dinner outside and came back to hotel,wating for yash to join us.Surprisingly,yash came straight to our room without even letting us know of his arrival.

Now was the time of actual bakar.We were awake till 2-3 AM and then have to sleep as we had planned for a trip to lonawala and khandlaa(b/w pune and mumbai).

Next day we ran behind our schedule and was ready after our break fast for leaving to lonvala/khandala by 11AM.We hired a cab after lot of bargain on price(settled for 1100+toll tax).So we were rocking on express way by 12:30.

We saw various places like Tata power Dam,Caves,lonvala(it was too foggy/cloudy weather and really good place) and finally khandala(nice place but was not as exciting as i expected).On the whole,the trip was excellent.Finally we left for pune arnd 6PM and reached there by 7:35PM.Then we had a plan for movie and was not sure for which to go and also not aware of show timings.So we have asked the cab person to drop us to INOX theatre.There we could not catchup any good movie (was looking for Ramji london waley).All the show timings were before 8PM.Finally i remembered one of the theatre that i saw near station which was screening the movie.So i and rajiv rushed to the theatre to checkout timings/ticket availability and in the meantime yash & chow went to hotel to drop the stuff we had bought from lonavala.Finally we got the tickets of the movie of 9:30PM show.Chow's cousin brother was studing in pune,so we also invited him for the movie.

Movie was full of fun.I was having a feeling that i was still in bhopal with my frnds watching a movie in some bhopali theatre.After movie, we went to COMESUM(24 hrs)on railway station and stayed there till 3AM.It was too crowded with young guys and gals(as if it was some fashion show going on).
We adieu chow's brother and were back to hotel.All were too tired and we have to checkout next day so we slept soon.Next day we got up late as usual and then got ready to checkout from hotel.As i had my b'lore KSRTC bus at 4PM,so we planned to meet bhabhiji(sharmaji elder brother's would be wife).Bhabhiji was not happy as she has prepared food for us and we were asking her to have lunch outside.Finally we settled for lunch at her home(she has prepared really dellicious kofta's...after many years got chance to have them).Last few hours at bahbhiji house was cool enough.
It was almost 3:20PM and we have to reach the bus stop(the exact place i was not aware of),so me,rajiv & bhabhiji took one auto and chow,yash hired another one to give me final buy on bus stop.At last we reached the place, where bus was about to leave.I boarded it and gave final love to my frnds(that too in hurry,was feeling so sad).
Now began my journey towards b'lore in which i just thought of days i spent at pune with frnds.In whole journey,we got 2 movies to watch(Sarfarosh & Dus) which i was hardly interested to see.
Late night i came to know that chow and rajiv has missed there flight to delhi and later chow planned of going to Shirdi(from there his plans were for ujjain).Yash left for aurangabad and my dear sharmaji have to stay at bhabhiji house in pune to catch up next day flight for delhi.
When i came back to b'lore i was feeling as if i was in pune from long time.I wish God to gather as again soon for another good ocassion.

Today i will be heading for my next gr8 trip to hyderabad(will have fun with my cousin).See you soon again!
