My night out

We planned it all out over the last week. And it so happens that anything we plan on properly and well in advance always tends to start off wrong. And this one was flagged off with a disastrous beginning!

It began with an assignment for my intern friend and me. Sure, we took it up. It was our last day after all. We wanted work! SO we covered the event and by the time we returned to office, it was almost 8:30pm!

Next, a tragedy a few buildings away from our work place put everyone in a foul mood. Noone was in the mood to party any more. And then, the biggest news of all. My friend and me had to hang around and work on the scripting and the editing of the story we'd covered. This was bound to take a few long hours!!!

We didn't have an option. We battled it out. We worked from almost 9:30 to 11:30 with frequent calls from a friend asking us about the status of our progress and if our 'nite-out' plan was still on and also savoring Chennai's victory in the semis . 11:30pm and we said our good byes and left work. Finalllyy!!!

45 minutes later and the five of us are on our way to Red Box for DINNER! Our plans to go clubbing or enjoy in a lounge went down the drain. But we survived the ordeal :) it was a nice place, good music , good food and very good company.

1:30pm and we are at my friend's place. A bottle of breezer each, and a shot of vodka and very interesting, if not highly graphic conversations kept our moods high. A lousy, hectic and stressful day ended with all of us chilling out, getting along, pulling each other's legs and just plain having fun!

My first night out in Bombay. It wasn't what I had expected but nevertheless it was unbelievably amazing and I had a damn good time!

This entry is dedicated to my fellow interns, Piya, Disha, Karunika, Anushka, Bansi and Niyati and Karthik who couldn't be there. Thank you! :)
