B'days are expensive!!

You expense not just another year in your life but also sometimes shell out bucks enuf to call it an 'Expensive B'day'.

One such B'day was my latest (2010). Hope you guys remember the date.


The feeling of having most of my close allies with was really special. As usual, i was late to the venue, Water Front, making my entrance embarrassing for me however 'star'(r)ing for onlookers. Had blessings and wishes flying in the air accompanied by warm hugs and arms arounds. Thank you guys for making the night special by being there, especially after the kinda party we had one night before.


Waited for close to 3 quarters of an hour to find a table (again embarrassed myself by not booking the table in advance), folks with cameras pounced on the opportunity to put their disastrous creative talents to use by clicking random pics and the waiting time flew by like a jiffy (samples provided). Flip side, delay put some guests in discomfort on timelines.


People who have been to W't'F (Water Front..i don't read between the letters :P) will concur with me that the service is anything but satisfying. Cliched, but service could be better, atleast with the time taken from order to serve. Had food and drinks served, at last..and gulping it down dint take much time for the group that was.


Slowly the group started to shrink in size as people started to disperse in different directions to head back home in different paiyyas..i was with the last set of people who were dependant on me to drop them at their destinations. How stupid of them knowing me..i mean what were they even thinking?? huh!! but i guess they know me real well...


Then came the SHOCKER..the check..a whopping amount which blew me off my feet (literally) and off my drinks, for sure. Until that point, i had not bothered about the rate on the menu card. But the moment of truth, which it was, made me read the menu card once, twice , thrice and also enquire on a few things, with one of the remained stewards in the restaurant, which may have sounded idiotic to him. By then, i was back to my normal life. Had no choice but to pay the 'check' amount with 'credit card' (of course mine!!); what a ridicule in life!!


I spent the rest of night making sure that the entire situation dint get into my head and heart. Had i allowed that, the set of people with me would have lost control on their senses...as i was behind the steering wheel of my car...hahahaha!! 'All is well that ends well'.


Albeit expensive till date, was place beautiful, guests lovely, night special and unforgettable...Had a blast!!


Now that's wat i call a B'day to remember. Every single moment was worth it!! Really WORTH IT!!
