We were cheering last night because Armageddon had its moments. Watching the movie for the nth time, Dil and I couldn't help raving as each frame progressed. It has been a pretty trying period for Dil. The final dates for dispatch of admits from Deutschland is almost here and the Dude, and the rest of us, had all taken to serious nail-biting.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Our loud adulation for Grace and AJ, and everything else in that movie, somehow helped us shun our worst fears for a while.

1700hrs, its fantasticly breezy today and Cheeru calls "Come home. Now".

Soon after, we were at the Base: Pondy, Delta, Jai, Cheeru and myself, and amidst loud cheering, we smothered Dil in cake and soaked his vest in Kingfisher - the King of Good Times. Achtung ! The Dude was now into Darmstadt !

Thursday evening it was, and a wait for the weekend was deemed unnecessary. So, we were at Pinnacle, the roof-top restaurant at Hotel Ranjith, in Nungambakkam. If you minus the slow delivery of the food (coz the place was full !), smiling hosts who laughed our laughs, fantastic etiquette, and a Menu card that gets you ordering pronto - this place is sure to get you addicted.

The evening rocked. The Dude was happy. And we all were simply digging it !

Finally got your blog with search strings as
"pondy delta cheeru" @google

Dil has cracked majhur time and we all wish this 'aam aadmi' to grow big in all spheres of life.

Beer minus babes is an awesome combination and add to it lime + vodka. That was a chillin experience for me atleast at Ranjit's ;-) One of the best treats I ever had in Chennai.

Your bloody '@$$' went with our 'dil' looking for 'bloddy sutta' at 'the bloddy petrol pump' in middle of 'A GREAT TREAT'

I know the excitement in you and Dil when Armageddon was getting played. Great that you captured the best scene from it.

The treat was long awaited and long time after, I felt it as my own sucess. The rounds of Bloody-marry helped my express it.

Another feather in the cap of New No 39.

PV:Just step out girl. There's so much in Chennai, you'd take a lifetime to explore all of it !

Pondy, Cheeru and the Dude:
Thanks for the Google tip.

Your comments sound like you guys are still high. He he.. This is only the beginning

AFJ:The men who save the world sing 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' in this scene. But if you really want to enjoy this unforgettable track, listen to the Chantal Kreviazuk version, which is played with the credits.
