When Cat invites you to a get-together. Never say no. Firstly, Cat has umpteen marriageable cousins scattered within travelling radii from Chennai. So he's usually unavailable on weekends, 'coz he's got all their weddings to attend to. Secondly, its not everyday that you get invited to a place like the GNC a.k.a Gandhi Nagar Club.

Wow man. What an evening. One distinguished engineer - now working with O&M, and three distinguished Animators (that includes Cat too) - whose creation for Club Mahindra brought them the coveted Abby ! And loads of booze. I, of course, was on a mocktail diet.

GNC - big spacious club. On the banks of the Adyar River. Of course, we weren't really exploring all the facilities. Just regular excursions between the Bar and the restroom. They've actually put up a board above the urinals for 'Graffiti'. The only legible message went:

"Don't write what you can't do.
Do what you can't write."

Heheheh. Apt.

Dinner was at Kwality Riviera, the AC Dhaba which is just across Adyar Bus Stand. I call it Dhaba because its such a favourite hangout for penniless brokes like me, that our frequent visits have made the place lose its restaurant-ish appeal.

Fud was gud. Finger-lickin gud. The ppl. there are kind enough to give you a 10% discount if you tell them you're from IIT (and are suitably dressed to drive home the point). Cheeru says that it is inappropriate to leave a tip for the waiter after taking a discount on the bill. Me thinks - Its gud to keep the other guy happy, if he's made you happy. Whatever.
