Got together - Some things never change, but some things do

Last weekend we had a long awaited Get-together of my Delliberates-Unplugged team. I’ve been planning to host them all at my place since November. But thanks to some of their Vacations and my exams, it got delayed by a couple of months, honestly, it’s worth a wait. Eddie and Quarter along with Viv and Queen were the first to arrive. Ass-ok was closely followed by me with the food. Zula and Keerthi came on Asif-bhai-Kairiyath-ah?’s tail. I took the curious few for a guided tour of the house which was promptly captured on a video by Ed. Tension Sharma(Dev) a subject of Vivek’s long distance spitting came along with Banali at 2:45.(Didn’t we miss Amar to send the login-logout report?) He was the most awaited person as some were having the ‘war of the intestines’. Food was waiting for almost 2 hours; it was so cold that the milkshake had become Ice-cream for the desert. My pulao and Queen’s last minute salad were the first to get over.
After some chatting, lunch and fight for the remote, we settled for a Karaoke Session. Keerthi chaired the session with his googling skills for lyrics. All who had the liking to sing were sharing their voice. Overall it was a mess, never the less, enjoyable. Keerthi was literally singing to the tunes of Zula who was captured swishing her finger. As the divide between the participants and audience grew, we called it a song and moved on to play Dumb-sherads. It was all fun as we played. The highlights were, Ashok losing a point when he was trying to show “IN” with his finger entering some tunnel, and Queen guessing the movie even before Keerthi signaled ‘one word movie’. As time was ticking fast, we had to end it there.
Panna was expected to settle scores(thanks to Vivek) was doing that on his bed. At 2 PM he said he will be here in 30 mins, but at 3 he was still snoring. Mrs. Subashini was not able to make it as Sanjeev was out of town, and Niyath was not healthy enough to come over. However tough my rules are, I am always lenient on leaves. Their leaves were granted, half-heartedly. Amar was on planned vacation flying. Better luck next time.
The title should come somewhere during this blog. Here it is, some things never change – Deliberates and Fun are always synonymous, but some things do change, in fact did, I hope it’s for good.
Sahana, Navitha and Sandy were proud and happy to host the get-together. We thank all who made our day unforgettable. When everyone was packing up, we decided to capture the group on camera. Once a few timed-pictures were clicked, we parted to live happily ever after. :-)
