Kaus comes home with Malaniman and announces 'I got into Stanford. What should I do ?'

As simple as it gets, in the evening we're at Distil, at the Taj Connemara. Me tried the Blackberry Caipirissima and it really was straw-suckin good. Kaus and M'man experimented with their concotions on-the-rocks. Soon enough, a RedBull drink followed that tasted so good that M'man couldn't resist gulping down. That's the problem with M'man, you can never rely on him being the designated driver.

Convinced that the weird sounding names at their Pan-Asian cuisine restaurant were definitely not vegetarian, M'man dragged us into their Coffee shop, 'Verandah'. The rest of the evening was enjoyed over bland sizzlers, pepperred with sporadic laughter.

While M'man leaves to take up a new assignment at a Descartes-obsessed company, Kaus shall now gear up for the upcoming Visa interview. We might never meet in Chennai again.
