Samosas

Yesterday we got some 40 samosas and a mail was sent to the group to drop in and say hi to us and have samosas. Lots of people came and nothing was left. Lots of chit chat happened as people relished the samosas. It was different way of getting to know people.

The Grand Lunch

Sunday was the best till now in East coast. Gopa and myself were invited by Radhika to have left overs of what she cooked the previous dayas she did not like wasting food. Since both of us were longing for homemade food we agreed to go there. It was in some village called Malborough. When we reached home we were warmly greeted by Radhika (who had grown really really really fat) and her housemate Namy oops Namratha. We had nice food which was Morkovambu, Rasam, Curry, Rice, Curd, Payasam. I ate madly. It was really yummy =P~. Ideally I will not have praised Radhika's any efforts but let me be true once atleast ;-). Apart from the insults which she subjected me to, everything else was good.

Then we had nice chit chat for long time. Then we planned to either go to Malborough downtown or somewhere else. Ultimately we went to Hopkinton National Park and there was a nice waterbody there. It was good. We also went for conoeing. Gopa and Radhika were hell bent onoverturning the boat and getting thrill of my fear for water. After a hour of conoeing (most of the steering and rowing was done by Radhika) we came back.

Then we went to Boston and roamed around the Boylston and Newbury Streets. She was acting as our guide and showed us the Trinity Church and many other places. Had dinner at Kashmere, Indian Cuisine.

We roamed for quite sometime. By the time we started back it was 12.30a.m. After 6 attempts to come out of boston in 1 hourwe were successful to take the road back to home. Dropped her at home at 2.15 a.m and reach back our house around 2.45 a.m. I was dead asleep with my eyelids closing twice while driving. I hit the bed.

Radhika's observations (courtesy Radhika):
--------------------------------------------

a) Never knew Gopkumar and Lshangan were so camera shy - I must say thats a very feminine trait.
b) Gopkumar was given a lesson in crossing roads
c) We discovered Gopkumar's other side of personality
d) We learnt a lesson that we should never tell Shankar to cross the road on impulse. He will promptly do so without loooking left or right and give everyone a scare
e) We went looking for restrooms and bought something in every small place we went.
f) We circled the same roads for about 4-5 times before we discovered the road next to the divider.
