Last Saturday i finally made it to my degree-gang get together! I usually miss these meetings either by chance or on purpose. Most of the time i give my friends the excuse of some unavoidable meeting with some XYZ or one of my imaginary incurable weekend flues.Well, its not because i don't enjoy hanging out with my old pals... its just that am way too lazy to move out of my home on a cozy Saturday.The prospect of lazing around at home seems much more alluring to me than running around the city on a hot afternoon.Call me a lazy bum and i wont complain because i am one!
So what made me change my mind this time around?Hmm...nothing in particular.I finally got bored of lazing around at home every weekend and decided to catch up with the girls and have some fun.So a long delayed get together was finally taking shape under my friend Babinu's initiative.We called up each other and fixed to meet up at our college convent at 10am sharp and then workout the plan of action for the rest of the day.
I reach at the convent entrance 30 mins late expecting to find the rest of my gang waiting to pounce on me for being the last one to reach.But guess what 2 years is a long time and people change...am no longer the only one who never makes it on time... It turns out am the 1st person to arrive. What ensues is a long tiring wait for the rest of the girls... i start doubting if they had cancelled the plans for the outing and forgot to inform me...the constant stare of the watchman with a slight tinge of suspicion upsets me and am at the point of leaving when Sara makes her appearance. Finally someone to prove to him that i was not lying about our supposed get together! Thank heavens!
"OH MY GOD u cut your hair! U look different! Your face has so totally changed!"
"What took u so long you %^#$@?! I have been waiting for ages! U have lost weight!!"
"Did you bring the notes i told you to bring?"
"Where is Mridula? Is she coming? I bet she will come in complaining about the humongous task of walking 5 mins from her home to the convent like always!"
"Why on earth did it have to rain exactly on the day when we decide to have our get together?"
The sudden excitement of meeting close friends after a long gap often results in pointless hyper excited conversation. Both of us keep talking nonstop without answering the queries of the other. Then we gradually get a grip and start talking sense..In the meantime Mridula and Babinu come in...Mridu as usual irritated with the rain for pouring down with the hidden agenda to drench her brand new "Jootis"(footwear) and Babz ,the fashion designer, popping up in a self made exquisite zardosi embroidered top n jholla(bag)....
"Where is Helga n Michelle?"
"Michelle is the one who usually gets late. But what happened to Helga?"
"They both are coming together..."
"No wonder!"
"So we cant catch a movie...the show must have started by now..."
The two VIP's eventually come in 45 mins later with a puppy dog face apologetic for upsetting the whole schedule and giving dumb excuses for being late. The moment the duo come in madness sets in. There is a pathetic outpouring of PJ's (poor jokes) and even more pathetic laughter at the dumb PJ's...Like i mentioned before...The sudden excitement of meeting close friends after a long gap often results in pointless hyper excited conversation.
Now that everyone has come ...what do we do??
"lets go somewhere"
"where??"
"ya where?"
"Hey Helga is giving a treat at Bay Pride Mall coz she has been elected the Vice chairperson of her college!"
"yippeeeeeee!!!"
"who told am giving a treat?"
"Yes u are!How could u not give a treat u 'pishiki'!"
"Alrite alrite..whats the cheapest thing at Bay Pride Mall?"
"lol! nothing is cheap there..he he...u have to pay for even the Air conditioning!!"
We cleverly trap Helga into agreeing for sponsoring the treat at Bay Pride Mall...and the poor gullible sweetheart agrees to pay for 'Black Desire' at Abad Foodcourt @ BPM...
BPM-A great place to hangout with friends:-
1)If u have cash in ur pocket
2)If u have a sponsor
3)If u just wanna ogle at the posh dudes and dudettes dating,flirting,chatting,hogging,or simply walking aimlessly around the place...
If you are a middle class mallu with no sense of latest fashion trends get out of the place before you feel ill at ease or horribly inferior to the hip young English speaking crowd thronging the mall...This is one place that will make u regret for being just an average mallu...These are not my conclusions....these were the rumours i heard about the place from those who have visited the place before...And my first visit to the place with my girl friends confirmed the report...Sad to admit, but its not a place i would wannna visit unless am looking my best and having loads of cash to burn...
Warning for those who havn't been there :Bay Pride Mall might give ur 'Pride' a jolt!

i remember the "hip english speaking crowd" of bay pride mall.. all hanging arnd aimlessly watchin ppl coming on the escalator.. i thot it was really sad.. :) ...
well i really can imagine Michelle Chechy's puppy face!but i should say that she has become a bit more matured as she would soon be a proud mother!n i agree to your statements about BPM!The place sucks for the people who like to laugh aloud and chat hysterically to their hearts content without being stared or noticed by those vayanokkees of a high breed!in that sense, our Punchiri rocks!!
poor Helga...so this is what happens when old friends meet.let me be cautious.
and yeah u r views abt BPM is true...such malls are every where...hi-tech guys wasting time n kindling the longing spirits in others..people could do something useful to the needy with their excess ready to burn cash...
