How long to wait??
5 mins on the way….
DJ was waiting in Garuda. It’s been more than a month since the ‘unusual day’.
1 msg received ….DG

Reached coming up..plzz don’t laugh

DJ was wondering what was that supposed to mean and as soon as he saw her , he knew what she meant.

DJ gasped “OMG”

DG was wearing a sari. He was seeing her wearing a sari for the first time. She wasn’t the DG as he knew her.

Suddenly DJ got reminded of Steve Martin and his movie Father of the Bride. When his daughter walks up the aisle in the wedding dress, she still appears to him as the little girl playing bride. DJ was feeling similarly and he was very much surprised to actually think like that.

DJ thought “wow..if this is wat it feels like …no wonder dad’s cry at their daughter’s wedding”

DG came towards him.

DJ: You look great

In all these days…DJ had never voluntarily complimented her

DG: really? Thanks….but I have to say .u look awful

It was 12.25pm on hot summer day in Bangalore.

He usually goes to Kalmane Koffee when he goes to Forum.

“hmm..u have anything sweet?”

“of course, would u like a muffin?”

“nah that won’t be chocolaty enough”

“pardon sir?”

But this wasn’t an usual day.

10 things I learned in Hyderabad

Recently I went to Hyderabad and these are the 10 most important things I learned which I think everyone who is going to Hyderabad should know, but seldom told.

So here goes

1. People say biryani at least 5 times a day

2. Biryani is available for breakfast,lunch & dinner – 24/7

3. People eat biryani at least once a day..unless they are dead

4. People don't say lets meet for lunch or dinner, they say lets have a biryani together

5. Not being a hungry is not an acceptable excuse for not having biryani

6. Its rude to even ask what's so special about biryani.(caution,u may face physical danger)

7. Impressing a local girl requires extensive knowledge about availability of biryani, capacity to eat more biryani than her and of course ability to afford it.

8. Its never a pretty sight to see a girl dunk a whole biryani by herself ,no matter how pretty she is (solution-look at your biryani & eat)

9. Any biryani is best as long as it is made in Hyderabad

10. BIRYANI.

“ eeegggggggghuuuuuuuffffffffeeennnnnnnnmmmmmmmm”
DJ was  stretching his arms as far as possible,slowly rotated his sprained neck, trying to relax himself..still 8 pages to go in the report. He couldn’t  look at the screen anymore. He got up and started to walk around the hall.
