19th May 2007 would start off, late with the, usual laze, which deters most commonsensical humans from getting off their comfy cot. The day continued with sumptuous and scrumptious breakfast ..err..brunch as we gorged ourselves with upma (Minnie Mouse has an extraordinary culinary knack) daubed all over with bhujiya sev. With stomach declining any further advances of ambrosia and legs feeling the effects gravity we were vacillating over the next..err…move!
Life in a Metro at Miramax Adlabs seemed a good watch. The 2:15 show seemed apt. Giraffe (Pramoth) would pillion with Mickey Mouse (Nilesh) aka Valentino Rossi aka Bullet ki Safari while I shall venture my courage by agreeing to pillion with Minnie Mouse (Shilpa) on a use-starved Kinetic Honda. Ok, relax, I survived.
The movie was…well..convoluted to say the least. Irfan Khan despite his typecast and clichéd performance stood out as he delivered dialogues with astounding comic sense. The three singers popping up in the streets of Mumbai were the obscure elements. I wonder if they would croon for me whilst I am sauntering! Anyways, the film is a worth a watch, atleast watch it to pity Shilpa Shetty and Shiney Ahuja over their fate!
While Mickey Mouse continued in his vein of pulling Minnie Mouse’s leg, grub awaited us at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). A few roosters might have shrieked in enchantment as Giraffe and Rat ( arrey..me yaar!) ordered Veggie Delight( envisage that too at KFC!!). Back abode and away from the desiccating Pune heat and sloth encapsulated us again as the snug sofa seemed to defy gravity.
Rat was lost deciphering the fiefdom of rock music that seemed to be providing some vague delectation to Giraffe and Mickey Mouse. But the Tube Box came to rescue albeit not for long. Television brings home such startling movies that can be viewed only in the company of friends over probing looks and mirth. Lethal Dose playing on HBO was one such. Rodent bites to Human Brain the less I delve in to this the better, but it sure did keep us clinging on to our sofas..err..in frustration cocktailed with mirth! Dare not watch it alone!!
As the soothing evening air revisited Pune to tranquil the scorched souls hiding in concrete walls, Mickey Mouse would guide us to the Camp area in Pune. Abuzz with activity and filled with bevy of shoppers, Camp provides capital opportunities while away. Pangs of hunger revisited and Mickey Mouse suggested open-air restaurant was the way to go and rightly so!
Pune seemed to have congregated to eating out that night as restaurant eating entailed long waits. Finally we hit upon Prem’s which had a decent ambiance and saved on electricity by having kerosene lamps on every table(what else?? MSEB is starved of electricity anyways!!). After munching on the delicious paneer, that would make palate go wild in enthrallment, and recollecting the good old days it was time to head home. Not before we devoured over Pune’s very own Kulfi and the belly groaned in rapture for the last time that night!
