The circular came when i had taken my day off... d next day my HR manager calls me and the conversation went somethin like this...
SR: Hi bhagi... how r u??
BS: Fine sir.. How r u? (me thinks: y all this care suddenly)
SR: Are u a vegetarian or non-vegetarian
BS: Pure NV,Sir (Me thinks: wow they are gonna provide non-veg at canteen)
SR: Ok. Noted.... acha sun tumhare apartment ke baaki ladkiyon ko bhi leke anna...
BS: SIR.. (me thinks: Kya? Kahan? Kab? Kyun?)
SR: Arey tumne abhi tak mail pada ki nahi....
BS: Kaunsi mail.. kisne bheja.. kab bheja??? (me thinks: Mera bheja Fry)
SR: Pahle mail check kar.. ill call u in 5 min....
(he never called)
So bhagi goes checks d mail to find invitation to Office Party. Special occassion : Rang Panchami.
RP party OK... but if they are to play holi.. sorry i am not a sport.. Already spoiled my hair and a dress on holi din.... dont want to become the scape goat again...
After several assuarances from various colors that they wont play holi at office party (read with exaggaration and that "unbelieving" expression. (naalaiks, who ever said they wont play with gulaal promptly brought colors along)
Ok... now gettin ready to a party is a real feat, with two other girls in your flat who check out wat u are wearing and then deciding their deck... atlast one decided to wear saree after arguing between a jean/ tee, half saree (tamil ethnic wear) and a salwar suit... bingo... she doesnt has a party wear saree.. there goes your favourite saree u wanted to wear... ok no probs.. but she doent know to wear that.. umber cool... me helps her wear that...
Half hour left before my friend comes to pick me... good i havent decided wat to wear and roamin around in a towel... closed my eyes and randomly picked up a saree... decked up in simple antique wear in 15 min and my mobile rang...
MJ: Kahan pe..
BS: Flat of course
MJ: Ok come down.. i am waiting..
BS: ok.. meet u downstairs...
We promptly reached the site to see the place filled with aunties (read Mrs. of respective Colleagues)
Then comes the ubiquotous round of Tambola... Me gets bribed, threatened to get a ticket..
Loose in the game promptly and give a victory smile..
Then d next shock was to be picked up to play first in Dumb charades in d lucky dip... and yes yes yes i won... got a cute Vinayaka/Ganpati statue..
then came dance and food.. priority depends on you.... me chose food... nothing to write home about...
starterz: Paneer Pakoda
Hara Kebab
well d second one is my fav. so binged on it...
Unluckily no soup for me today: was served jaljeera instead.. took a sip and d rest was left to the.... err grass
Main Course: Green salad
Mutton something
Chicken biriyani (supposed to be)
Rumali roti
Two other types of roti
On the vegetarian menu there was Kadai vegetable, Paneer Butter masala and jeera rice...
Chicken biriyani was more of rice than chicken... Rumali roti and mutton saved me.. even i cudnt guess wat d dish was it tasted good...
ya ya i forgot to add raitha, pickles and papad in the list...
Dessert: Ya d usual vanilla icecream and Gulab Jamun.. But d plus point was the guy at the dessert stand recognized me and gave an extra scoop.. he he he.. Hutch puppy smile works...
then one by one d crowd started trickling back to home... arey yaar... khel liya.. danceliya.. kaaliya.. aur kya karoge.....
Once the ground was free of 30+, there was space to breath in.. hell lot space as only 10 of as new joinees were left... it was our time.. threatned the DJ to play the new realeases and danced till 11 30.. then we were driven out by our HR manager.. came back in d company bus and masti didnt end there... all were singing at the top of voice all those beaten tracks...
went to bed by 1... result... now body pain... need of sleep.. typing this blog in office hour to avoid sleepin in this Artificial air filled glass cabin....
chaltha hai.. hotha hai yaar.... aaj mera time kal tera time... he he he
