Once upon a not so long time ago, Jab Alpana, Arun and Vimal were meting in Mumbai and attracting the attention of the others and fantasizing about the much hyped about but god knows when it'll take place SVC reunion, a ProfesSarita, Nigar and YoursTruly took a reality step forward and had a met together in the capital of Odisha!
The Venue was in Debu's ancestral home which had so much legroom that every one of us was sitting with one leg in each room.
The Drink, Ginger Ale (we pronounce it as Ginger ALI) prepared by the beautiful dotter of the house, was so delightful that the once upon a time ALI sisters and their spouses thought they had all died and gone to Heaven and were being offered amrit by an Apsara.
The banquet like spread was so vast that it would have fed the entire population of China. And India...!!
And the khana was so tasty that had Sarita been single and Shanker and Nottu still bachelors, she would have lured her way into their hearts through that sumptuous spread. Thank the Lord for small mercies, like teaching the Professor to cook only after Nigar and I were happily married...;-}
Sarita, I would have posted this long time back but since the other gang met first I was waiting for Arun to post his account. Also because one should always save the best for last. Also because my Bungalow Peon suddenly decided to get married and is on leave and I'm bherry bherry biji. AND also because I'm not able to copy and paste anything from word and have to LABORIOUSLY type out the entire blog....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! VIM...It STILL DOES NOT WORK!!!
So that's about all! We've already been treated to the Jab We Met photo of Ek Phool Do Maali. Now be a good girl Sarita and post the Jab We Also Met wallah photo of yet another blockbuster called Teen Deviyaan!
P.S. Btw...Mummy enjoyed your return gift of Scotch Eggs...:-}

Hi Nargis...nice write up and seems to be gr8 meeting. I hope someday all of us meet.
Waiting for sarita to blog the photo would almost be like Waiting for Godot. Will watch out for the leg space in the pix (no puns here, matter lifted from the write-up)
Nargis, yellow did not work, I cannot read anything you have written in yellow. Could you please cahnge the color??
Yellow journalism never works!!!
Right on. I had to hilite in order to read.
Had to take those extra steps (mein tere "yaad" mein kya kya na kiya - an old Kishore Kumar song popped up in my head, lyrics changed to avoid Shanker Bhagwan's ire) to read Nargis' delightful posts ;-)
Vim...: What on earth? When I posted this was blue and since i'd done the highlighting also in blue I had to change it back to yellow and then somebody changed the template to black and it was okay and now again it is white and people are calling my blog 'yellow' journalism :-{ Well, since I cannot carpet the entire world I'd better learn to put on shoes...*sigh* have to go and do some adjustments even if I'm Sooooooooooooo busy......So KHABARDAAR agar phir kisi ne ghirghit ki tarah rang badla toh...grrrrrrrrrrrr..!!
Btw...guys thanks for the comments. Leaving for chennai tomorrow....for shanker's eye check up...!!

thanks Nargis ,
the praises that you,ve so liberally poured is hopefully not tongue in cheek.... i'm rather apprehensive & scared of ads . 'bout my culinary skills--& doubt if it could have got me even Debu--if I had taken recourse toit as a HUSBAND fixer.... I'm overwhelmed by this writeup--!!! A testimonial of your scripting skills !!!
Hey VIMAL.....!!
OH! SORRY!! I thought you were asking us not to change the colours of the templates...hehehe. Will keep in mind about NOT changing the colours of the fonts ..:-}
