3 Day Hop

Thursday Night – Koshy’s Dinner
Order : One Spanish Omelet, One Minced Mutton on Toast, Two Cups of Coffee. Noisy surrounding, Mallu waiters, two anxious diners, whispers, re-collecting old times, warmth of the coffee and the presence of your partner in front of you…















Friday Evening – Rangashankara
Play – Robinson and Crusoe
Max Mueller Bhawan, Rangashankara, AHA , India Stage and all the enthusiast bought this wonderful play ‘Robinson and Crusoe’ to Bangalore. Directed by Gracias Devaraj, it was definitely a well executed play, with excellent acting, plot development, sound and light and with the required dash of humor. As always it’s more fun to hear to giggles and mouthed laughter of the kids around. This time it was all the more special when I could feel an arm around mine all through the play. Both of us liked the play and also the hurried cup of coffee and tea before the play. Reached the next hop half drenched in Bangalore late evening shower.




















Friday Night: Juke Box
Order: One JB Chicken Sizzler, One Bottle Mineral Water, One Chicken Stroganoff
Half drenched, walk into the almost brimful restaurant, grab a seat for two, see people engrossed in their meals and their pitchers with animated conversations, we share the warmth of each other’s company and the food of course. Moderately yummy meal, reach home, a cup of coffee to ward away any chances of a cold…Power of love, Pretty Woman, I just Died in your arms and others play on in the background…
















Saturday – Ebony, Barton Center
Table for Two, Outdoor Specified, Time 9:30
City Lights in the backdrop, fireworks dazzling the night on account of Eid and Ganesha festival, UB City shines bright, Kakori Kebab, Sprinkling wine, Murgh Kebabi Masala, light drizzle, shining engagement ring, hands in hand, few snaps clicked with the mobile camera, unable to capture the magic, but of course. A promise fulfilled.
















Sunday – Infant Jesus Shrine
Seek blessings for ourselves and our families















Commercial Street
A sneak preview of the things to offer, haggle with an antique store guy to pick an Victorian style railway station clock, later found that we paid almost the double for that…

















St Mark’s Church
A lengthy sermon, soulful singing by the priest, flowers for every woman in the church, and a special wish for the lady ‘to bloom like the flower’.














Java City
On the bench, listening to the oldies on the lead guitar, keyboard, percussion and the bass, ‘pretty woman’, ‘don’t worry be happy’, and a few others which I heard for the first time, Java City Filter Coffee, Java City Iced Tea(2 of them), an evening well spent and that too for just 106/-.
