Friends visit

Monali and Nayan were here this past long weekend and we had loads of fun! It was good seeing her after such a long time. It brought back some nice memories of Pune. When we used to hang out together... and see now, we both are married and settled in our own respective worlds! Isn't this amazing... looking back it feels, how quickly the time flew... phew!

They were here on Friday. They reached around 11:30 p.m. Thanks to Monali for changing the GPS setting :). It's hilarious how she my mistake set the GPS to ignore toll roads and hence took them hourrrrrs to arrive! Keeping that in mind, they surely arrived in time LOL!

They went to Disney theme park on Saturday and on Sunday we all went to Clearwater beach. Geez... the traffic was terrible!! Above all the parking!! I literally had to bribe (ofcourse through my talks) to let us in the parking lot... We started from home around 11 and got there at 3 p.m.! Namrata and Mayur were waiting for us on the beach. They came back to meet us from Sarasota. They had gone to Sarasota to celebrate their marriage anniversary. We spent almost 3-4 hrs in water - playing games, flew kites, had fun in the water! Talking about water- Monali and I almost got drowned in the chulu bhar paani [phrase for drowning in shallow water]

Overall, beach trip was fun !! I guess we all enjoyed. We met Vibha, Shantanu, and Meera on our way back and ate dinner in Tampa. Driving back we stopped over to show Monali and Nayan, Disney Downtown. Reached home around 12:30 a.m.

Next morning I prepared some bhatura's with channas' for the brunch!! Must tell ya all... they were yum yum!! I still can taste it :). After having heavy lunch, Monali and Nayan left for Atlanta and I believe they reached home around 9ish.

Thanks to Monali and Nayan for making our long weekend a special one!!!
