the program was fixed 12 hrs before outing by 2 phone calls when my whole neighbourhood was emerged in complete darkness(there's no direct link between the planning of a day out & load shedding, i was just getting bored in the darkness & decided to call up amrita n thus the idea cropped up!)
so, me n ratna met up at ruby, took 2 autos (not that we were travelling separately, we had to do break journey) to reach kalighat metro station n subsequently rabindra sadan metro station. With mobile towers working perfectly, we called up amrita from the station itself only to know that instead of reaching exide house, she was busy orkutting! With a few rebukes n shouting over the top of voices, i finally hanged the phone n got out of station n crossed the road.
We didn't had to wait much in front of haldiram's , as amrita arrived soon.....
We took a taxi to park street( ratna kept wowing at the fact that how can tata steel be the tallest building of calcutta, we assured her that it was before, not now)
taxi meter read 13, means 26 rupees. The taxi driver as usual started grudhing about his inadequate 'chuttas' , i cooled hin down with 6 rupees, while he returned 30 bucks to amrita....
with the clock striking 12, we thought of doing a qiuck round to music world before heading for our lunch to kfc
With no plans to buy any cd or dvd, we kept gazing at racks, commenting on films, bands,songs n everything else....
chicken frills......chicken thali....chicken burger.....ya! finally we r at kfc....chicken thali seemed the best option in terms of money n quality..so we opted for it.....n on too much insistence of the serve boy...a pepsi too
then amrita n ratna got down to some really notorious jobs while filling the feed back form...with all crazy inputs ranging from ph number to suggestion to 'how to make kfc better'
n a whole lot of photosession followed....
Oxford bookstore was the place where we headed next
from anita desai to chetan bhagat, deepak chopra to shobhaa de, feng shui to tarot cards----we covered all
we were searching for enid blyton n sweet valley books---later realised that they were available at oxford juniors
how come can it happen that thre girls are on a casual day out and they r not discussing clothes?
so westsie proved to be a suitbale destination for discussing n 'just seeing ' clothes..!
we thought of having coffee at barista upstairs , later discarded the idea after going through the menu n not finding anything nice under 50 bucks
a ' just like that' visit to nik -nish followed
we were again hungry--(hungry kya? -- is this dominno's or pizza hut'd tagline? --i cant remember --anyways) pizza hut was the place where we next headed....the menu card was nt that delightful...tired n sleepy ...we ordered a medium veg pizza
it was more than enough for us....
we walke n walked n reached the metro station..........metro---auto......auto.....auto....back home........
p.s.--- congratulations to myself for the longest post till now!
p.p.s: how can i miss abt mentioning the pastries we had at flurys( our real motive was to find a clean loo) !
