A short trip to Udupi for my Pg mate's wedding ceremony was very exciting and mind refreshing. A break from the monotonous life was top most in the list so all of us were looking forward for this trip. Before i continue further, lemme introduce to our family members..
Bhagya - The beautiful bride :)
soumya - on the move all day long
shammu - bedbug attractor (trust me for this :P)
archie - counselor (specialist)
shikha - adviser (general)
binds - all time criticizer
me - absent minded professor..
8:30 PM: As always i was the last person to reach and someone had to wait for me in the pg.. but somehow we made it to the bus stop ON TIME :)
9.00 PM: Bus left our place.. all excited we were at top of our voice.. went on chattering for long time until we felt hungry.. energy level decreased as sleep meter raised.. one by one voices fainted into the dark and we were soon asleep.. After a while, shammu started feeling that the bus hosts bed bugs.. after all those rashes we contemplated that may be those lil creatures were affectionate only to her!! All night she was wide awake searching for them..
Saturday morning we reached Udupi.. ambiance there never needs an explanation.. It kinda overtakes my imaginations. lush green.. variant weather.. small houses.. all looks like a framed picture. I felt as though i am lost.. I gave empty stares at various trees.. sky.. clouds.. water.. This phase of mine is what i call loosing myself to Nature!!
Evening as planned, was beach time! thats the only place where roars makes a soothing effect on you :-) A stroll in the beach with periodic attempts of waves to engulf ur feet and take away atleast the sand is so relaxing and an amazing feeling..
Back in the hotel, we were damn hungry.. anyone who knew about Diana hotel inspired us not to miss cutlets.. so we ordered for cutlets and poori.. the thought of cutlets being famous there made us even more eager to have it.. finally the eternal wait was over, crispy cutlets were on the table.. soumya was the first one to try.. though her expressions changed she managed to say it was ok.. I was lil suspicious but tried out.. oh my god that was the worst one i had ever tasted!!

Next day was very eventful, we went for the wedding.. enjoyed there.. our bride was looking gorgeous.. she felt very happy when we told her that she looked more beautiful than her hubby ;) hehehe.. we were back by 3 to hotel.. after the tiring day we planned to just stay in the hotel and relax...
Scene 1: We were watching Jodha Akbar, shikha came in saying "bharish ho rahi hai"
instantaneous was my question "kaha...? bahar?" ;-) she just gave me a cold look
Scene 2: Switched to Rang de basanti film and some discussion on history sprang up.. soumya tried explaining that she remembers one incident.. "woh park tha na.. aur woh log aise aise(shooting sign) kiye the na!!! kya tha woh?" Any guesses guys????????
yeah she was describing "Jallianwala Bagh massacre" ;-) hehehe...
With so many beautiful memories we left Udupi by 8.45 in the night.. thoughts of getting back to work made us feel miserable but still we were happy that atleast we had a nice and jolly weekend!!
P.S : Even saturday night bed bugs dint leave shammu.. Now you know why the title was awarded!! :D
