That's what she told me when I argued with her, what the difference was between watching the first IPL match live or any IPL match live. And she was right.
Yelling C..S..K. C...S...K, with Raina facing Vinay and CSK needing 10 off 7, (now you bear in mind, CSK had the talent to lose when they needed 1 to win from 2 balls) and watching Raina hit that six over cover, was...magical.
Dancing lame-ass steps to kuthu songs in the pavilion terrace, and loving it, was awesome too.
Manpreet butterfingers Gony cracks me up. :D
I've always wanted to see the stumps being castled by a fast bowler. Pity it was Albie. Pity it wasn't Steyn who bowled.
I've always been a fan of KP, but now, I'm officially one.
And, oh, my first mexican wave was fun too!
As I say, O**a whistla podra! We're back! (for now :P)

Nights seem like days,
Days seem like nights.
When I lie down,
I see lights.
Food bores me,
Like it's never done before.
A day goes by, in a haze,
and then, one more.
She makes me sweat,
She makes my lips go dry.
Am I in love?
No. I'm in frickin Chennai.

Cheque please!
So we look for a new place to eat because when 'the mess down the street' becomes 'the same old', that's what you do, normally. We scout a few streets and after skipping two really good places because they serve only veg (My friend WON'T go to pure vegetarian restaurants. Even if he eats veggies at a Multi-cuisiner, I guess it helps him to know there's meat around.) We settle for 'Cascade', a multi-cuisine restaurant on the 4th floor of a building in Besant Nagar near the beach. We ran into a couple of Americans as we exited the lift, and they exited the restaurant. Ominous sign, that was. But we decided not to go back, because,well, we looked through the door and all, and a waiter saw us.
The place was brilliant. Good music, nice ambience, IPL match running on mute if you're one of those who don't have time for the ODIs and tests, good food and good service too. Great place to ask a friend for a treat. The first thing the waiter asked me was if we wanted mountain water which cost Rs.60 per bottle, and was on display on the table. I wanted to laugh at the waiter, but instead settled for a "No we're ok with ordinary water." Ordinary meant Mineral water over there. We looked at each other before opening the menu. Our guesses were right. there was not a single thing to eat at under 100 bucks. Heck, I even saw a soup worth 500 bucks, which you can cook yourself, on your own table. Now why would I do that?
We made peace with the menu, and decided to dine like kings, even if it meant the same-old for the next few days. We made helluva lot of peace unfortunately and ended up ordering desserts as well. You know how sometimes, you look at a menu, and it feels as though something has been named so just for you? That's how I felt when I found "Old pal" on the menu. Curious, I looked at the description. Old pal, indeed. It was 'three scoops of ice-cream with banana slices and chocolate sauce and nuts.'. I last had one of that description when I was 10, in madurai, when my dad used to order that every time I asked for it, and I used to have a hard time finishing it every time he ordered it. 11 years later, I ignored the fried ice cream and the brownie and called for my old pal.
So what if it ended up costing 750 bucks for two? I was happy. Food makes me happy. :) And I got to meet an old pal as well.
Quick fact: I always ask for a finger bowl :P. Nothing beats having the scent of lemon on your hands after having a full course.

Some movies can/should NOT be remade.

I'll be honest. I downloaded the uncut version of Malena for Monica Bellucci. I'm glad I did, because it was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.
Namitha plays Monia Bellucci's role, in "Azhagana ponnuthaan".
I have a sinking feeling about this.

Rebound
Last thursday, on the day my cousin got married, I had too many cups, tumblers rather, of coffee and I was sick of it. I actually thought that would be my last coffee in a long time to come. Friday, saturday and sunday went and still I hadn't had a cup of hot coffee. What's better was, I didn't feel like it even.
Today, I walked up to the red Fresh & Honest machine which stood at the corner flanked by its many paper cups, waited for the decoction and milk to mix and foam to the right amount, added the usual one and a half sugars, stirred it and took a sip.
I must have been crazy, last thursday, to have thought that.
