Back to Blogging after 2 years - Friday Night Work n Party

Well, I found my blog after almost a year or so. And i just checked my last blog post was in June 2007!! Yeah 2007... its been almost 2 years. I had almost forgotten the name of my blog and plus google search spider hasn't indexed my blog, so I couldn't even do a Google search to find my blog. Somehow i found my blog and I also found out that ill be requiring my blog for office work too.

Yesterday was Friday, kinda hectic as far as work was concerned. Normally we are pretty chilled out on Fridays , not much of work load. But this wasn't normal Friday, it was month end friday , so had to submit reports. And this was the first time i was going to submit reports, so had to be little more careful. Finally , i submitted reports by 4 pm and after it was fun time. Everyone was done with their reports, so my manager started playing "Naruto" video and then "Mind Your Language" sitcom. So we all almost stopped working after 5pm and were busy watching videos. Wish we could have left early from office, but had to wait for office timings to get over.

We left from office like at 7.30....and we were hoping that we would reach home early....and i had to reach Inox by 9.15 as Nishad had booked tickets for Night in the Museum. Normally we reach VT by 9 max....but yesterday we simply couldn't catch rickshaw or bus. Finally we reached Kanjurmarg station at 8.30..thats almost 30 mins late. We normally reach there by 8. Worst part it takes 40 mins by train to reach VT....so no way i was going to reach inox before 9.15. Yeah show was supposed to start at 9.15, luckily the ticket counter guy told Nishad that movie will start by 9.25!! So i got 10 mins more ... but even those were not going to be enough. I reached Vt 9.15 !! lol

I got out of the VT station and saw taxi's lined up. Im startin this on new paragraph because of the recent debate thats going on over the "New Cabs vs Old Cabs". From old fiat padminis to brand new maruti alto's. Obviously i was going to chose those new alto's. Im in love with them. At times im kinda reluctant to get into these new cabs , because i think these new cab drivers wont come for shorter distances. But its exactly opposite. These new cab drivers never say no. These cabs have excellent interiors, comfortable seating and the two best things they are that they are quiet and they are fast. Plus they have electronic meters so you don't to worry about cabbies cheating you.

So the time was 9.15 and i had just 10 mins to reach Inox which is almost 4 kms from VT. Since i got in this maruti alto cab, it was going to be a fast ride. Luckily for me all the signals turned green as my cab approached them. Yeah exactly like Die hard and other Hollywood movies. Wish i could have done same while riding my activa, I reached inox in time i.e 9.25. Met nishad at the food court and after 2 security checks , we were in. Unfortunately movie had started, but i guess we just missed starting 2-3 mins.

Inox is a good place to hang out with friends, thanks to its food court. With Subway,Kebab co and many other restaurants there and ample seating space, you can spend hours chatting with a friend (and yeah friends too ;) ). But real shock came was in intermission. Inox's Snack O Bar...Sucks Big Time!! This snack bar isnt in the food court. Its outside the Screen entrance. We ordered chilli cheese toast which tasted like stale bread. It was like chilli sauce spread on single bread slice and it was so terrible we couldnt even take bite. Price 65/- . We also ordered Cheese Sandwich ... even that was terrible. The chutney had this pungent smell. Price 65/- . I agree Inox is for those high class with tickets starting at 250 bucks , so they charge such a exorbitant rates for snacks. But cant they provide quality food. And i was wondering how come no one ever complained ? Mineral Water cost you there 30rs and its isnt illegal because these bottles have this printed of them "MRP Rs.30/- To be distributed through selected channels" WTF!! Im just trying to get contact nos of this inox guys so that i send them this blog link !! Sterling Cineplex's snack bar is simply awesome. Its reasonable and taste is awesome. You get this chicken tikka sandwich for just 35rs and its filling. Forgot to mention Inox's snack bar doesnt serve non veg.

So the best bet is to have something in the food court before or after the movie. We did exactly that. But the only problem is most of the food court restaurants start closing after 11pm. Luckily for us Subway was open and they we could order something over there. Our order was the last order @ 11.15.

After that i headed back home. I desperately wasnted to have ice cream but all the ice cream shops were closed in the food court. Nishad wanted to go to K Rustams , Churchgate , but that was going 30 mins walk. But the only problem was i had to be back home before 12pm. There no time restriction put for me by my folks, but since i had gone for movie directly from home , I had to be back home by 12.

We came outside and saw 4-5 taxis lined up. All were old fiat cabs. And no one was ready to come to grant road side. And this same old cab drivers are complaining of not getting enough fares. Hypocrites!! Finally one cabbie agreed to come and i reached home in time. And about the movie Night at the Museum...yeah it was good. I rate it 3.5/5. And the i liked the actress who played the part of Amelia Earhart in the movie. She was sweet and cute looking ;)


I actually enjoyed blogging and i guess ill be blogging regularly from now on. So keep coming back.
