Halli Mane and then the accident

Sis and baby have gone back to Dubai and there seems to be such a lull at home these days thanks to the absence of Ashrita.Dammit , i was the apple of her eyes :)!!anyways so life moves on.Saturday was Ugadi (Kannada/Telugu New Year), and my dad put enthu for going to this rural restaurant called 'Halli Mane' which means Village Home in Kannada(I did overhear a man saying it should be renamed 'City Mane' and i was laughing my head out cause it sounded like a sleazy bar name!).I very half heartedly agreed as this place requires special down-dressing for me (this is a place where all the Jakkamaas and Ganguthais come for a meal).I guess i love the food too much over there to disagree, so i quickly donned a kurta and landed at the restuarant and gosh , it was so beautifully decorated with flowers and leaves and what not..but what a festive atmosphere!!The special meal was 70 bucks (and for that place , it raised quite a few eyebrows)...my dad, me and mom settled ourselves after downing a welcome drink of Ginger lemon juice.Spotted a few US/Brtish people who had probably come to find out what Kannada food tasted like i guess, felt rather proud at that moment that this small restuarant of Bangalore was really kicking ass on the international front :)The meal was awesome complete with all kinds of weird sour/sweet things and i actually enjoyed the meal (i normally hate Kannada food)...added to that the owner's son was major eye candy :)!
After an afternoon siesta , the gang made plans to meet up, so Ramu,me and Rosh met up at Forum to watch a movie/hang out/whatever.It was a rather long wait for ramu and me as rosh was busy adorning herself at her house and simultaneously lying that she was on her way and presumably making auto-like noises to make it convincing!we decided no movie was worth it, so we landed at Transit(the food place)where we gossiped , bitched etc that the three of us do best(we are quite a vile gang-the three of us).later on we landed at Geoffrey's which turned out to be great ambience and good alcohol(here we were joined by Kar, Din and Ash).after a rather sober session (the home parties are always kick ass)...ramu and i decided to leave as my parents would be worried, and had quite the bike skid over a median which should have affirmed its existence but sat silently waiting for an innocent biker to skid and die i guess.so as a result i am hobbling around the office today, the ramu is also quite bruised but he managed to walk to 8th cross so im thinking im the only distressed soul here.
