chomp with the code chimps..!!

planned,postponed,re-planned and finally executed on the 26th of March... Team Dinner.!
the who's who of R&D were invited for this dinner...except yours truly..!! yeah our Technical Director forgot to add my name to the mailing list.. hiding my shame(actually couldn't let go of betti otta.!!) i pointed out the "mistake" which was kindly obliged.!
all settled we vroomed off to the venue.. Coconut Groove (things with a pinch of malluness...I LIKE, I LIKE)...the waiters were dressed in mundu veshtie and the notes of pooram filled the air... there were 20 code-coolies and 3 mamu's.. i was the only one with DOMAIN Knowledge..i say tht cos CG is an authentic mallu resturant and ppl didn't know wht olathiyathde and vathichade meant..so till the order was placed i was the one rambling away to glory.."so ann u think this will go well with rice??"..."does this dish contain coconut..??" oh boy i was cloud no.9... it was one of those awe defining moment..! Mr.PM,Mr.TM,Mr.GM i might not deliver a super-duper piece of code but i tower over you guys in this territory...my culinary skills are something im really proud of.."cooking is like making love,it should be entered into with gay abandon or not at all" ;)..since im good in the former,the latter will be a mere cake walk..*erotic grin*.. the orders are placed and then begins the wait..i sit staring at ppl cos i ve nothing substantial to say..sigh.!!

SCENE::
Mr.K (mamu who was paying for the oota)... "so u think india played a good game ..?"
Code-Coolies.. "oh i think they ought to....", "but with this batting line up...".. all conversations muffled by the excited code collie sittin on ur right,left,front.. to be honest ppl where tryin hard to outsmart the other..
Your's Truly(conversations with iSelf).. actually they ve added extra ginger in this kozhi curry.. but wht the heck it's free..!

Mr.K... "the traffic in b'lore is quiet bad,they should put up heli-pads all over the city so tht ppl can commute faster.."
Code-Coolies..."the roads need to be..." "if u look at the infrastructure of h'bad....."
Your's Truly... chomp,chomp,chomp.. could u pass me tht stew..!

we chomped away over some mundane topics.. the bill was settled (9020 bucks.. phew..!!) and we all called it a day... sumant dropped me back home...
as i lay on my bed listening to my fan twirling i thought ,man im blessed to ve friends with whom i can ve really animated conversations... sharing a non-veg joke to bitching to pulling someone's leg for some stupid reason... sheer joy,sheer joy..! never again will i complain.. the food at our food-court might not be the best thing out of the cooks hands but all the fun we ve duly compensates for it.. love ya othala gang.! :)
