Unfortunately, Chennai does not support the drinking crowd round the clock and neither does it offer a huge variety of options to choose from. We ended up settling for a bottle of some unknown brand of Rum. Well anyway…I had also booked ticket s for 10 people for Terminator 4: Salvation at Sathyam cinemas for the 10AM show. One of the most exciting things which I like is group activities like this, where you’d be following up with 4-5 different units, all driving towards the movie hall, etc. How was the movie…? Good, but definitely not as good as Terminator 2.
John Connor (played by Christian Bale), leader of the human Resistance, inspite of having a main role, does not create the nail biting, corner of the seat excitement that was there in the earlier ones. Sam Worthington, who plays the cyborg, creates no magic on screen either. I guess the biggest thing I noticed was that the plot and the story was kinda too obvious, that anyone could have skipped the first 3 parts of the series and still managed to understand the story. I guess a little more of interwoven scenes and story, to any of the previous releases would have made it better. Come what may, Arnie got a huge applause from the entire crowd the minute he came on screen. He probably could have contributed more for the movie, if it not had been for his current role as Governor and also his potential role in Austria’s politics as well.
As the story goes on, soon after the movie, since everyone was in a mood for some chilled beer and good music, we landed at Zara’s. Nice place…good crowd…good music, the only problem might probably be the limitation of the food menu to Spanish delicacies. But being a Spanish pub, u really can’t expect any tandoor dishes either. So after ‘making merry’ for a few hours, we had to leave in a pretty bad shape as one of my buddies got himself quite sloshed. After a lot of hard work and policing, I finally managed to bring him back home to bed. Worth mentioning that a day of no sleep+ 2 sessions of alcohol+ some physical work gets you completely into a different kind of frenzy and you feel like your dangling somewhere between heaven and hell. After hogging on some pizza’s accompanied by a good movie, we decided to go out partying again.
Much to my dismay, Coco-bongo was having a private party and so club access was restricted. Knowing that there’s no way that I’d step back home, without doing something, we decided to have dinner (at 02.30hrs…!). I gotta accept that, come what may, food in a 3 star hotel is still nowhere close to home cooked food. In any case, we got back home and watched ‘Fana’ till morning. Worth mentioning that since we were supposed to vacate the house on 1st July, we thought of cleaning up the place a little. Now, unlike most bachelor apartments, ours was already pretty clean and infact this surprised a lotta my friends too.
Pretty soon, we went shopping at this place called ‘Fashion Folks’. Do note that this place is more of a factory outlet for most branded clothes & accessories. As expected, I ended up spending quite a lot L and also bought an I-pod. Anyway, I headed back home pretty early as I had to meet up with a friend of mine for coffee at sunset. But Coffee turned out to be a pretty fulfilling snack at Subway with some really good ham, salami, greens and mustard sauce. I was a lil embarrassed to hog away in front of my dost, though. For those of you, who haven’t met my roomie- he can’t stand a weekend without a beer. So there we landed u again at Hotel Fortune’s bar again sipping on beer…relaxing by the pool…listening to some good classic MJ song (commemorating his death…sniff sniff…). Since they had to close down and the guys wanted to have a lil more, we grabbed some more alcohol at this shop close to my place, where u pretty much get it 24Hrs. Went for a small drive and later on crashed back at home by 02.00Hrs with ‘Scary Movie 1’.
Quite a hectic weekend; with literally no sleep from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. Hope the next few ones are bit relaxing, but I guess that would never happen since this weekend is running out of time slots already…!
