48 Hours of Fun

The weekend was fabulous. Simply fabulous.
Was with friends back to back the whole of Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s long lunch was with a bunch of seven odd friends, haven’t laughed that deliriously in a while now. Loved being with them.

And the gang I met up with on Saturday night was united and wise in its acceptance of the fact that sleep is a waste of time, so we whiled away the night in laughter, music, conversations, walks, ghost stories, and occasional coffee pangs. Didn’t sleep a wink.

So who were the people?
Presenting...in strictly alphabetical order, the people who made this last weekend one of the most memorable in my life:

1. Akash: Addicted to bikes, photography, and PJs. Wanted to gift me a helmet on Saturday. I love his smile, it’s perfect. Yes, he should put a price on it.
2. Anku: Has super awesome red and black specs, wears panda shaped earrings, and loves chaat. Warm hugger to boot. Loves my blog so I love her. Ok ok, I love you otherwise too, Anku.
3. Ankur: Has a fetish for spiders (ahem). Can make friends in a jiffy, and is a financial guru. Will be handling my portfolio exclusively when I become a multimillionaire after my first book.
4. Arup: Claims to be shy, but moderates a booming community on Orkut. Has a 24 carat absolutely golden heart. His list of qualities can run into pages.
5. Deepak: Proud Delhiite, fellow foodie, movie junkie, techie wizard, passionate photographer, and a friend. In terms of any crisis, Deepak is literally just a phone call away.
6. Prashant: My personal laugh machine. He can make stories out of any situation, any character. Enthusiastic to the boot, Prashant makes even my dullest day rock.
7. Rajarshi: Draws pictures of water tanks for a living (errr). My conscience keeper, shouldn’t you do more with your super sexy voice than just the occasional singing and the regular yelling at me?
8. Richa: Kiddi as I call her, is CM to the rest of the gang. Loves you with passion if you’re on her right side, which suits me fine. Competitive, hard working, yet often confused...Kiddi is a babe with attitude and intelligence.
9. Rohit: Fellow coffee lover, Kidda and I can chat non-stop on anything under the sun. We can crib, we can curse, we can frown, we can even yell at each other…and still feel as if it was the best conversation ever.
10. Shweta: With impeccable taste in clothes, food, movies and men, she is a sweetheart. She could teach firebrand observation skills to even the most prosaic on this earth.
11. Smita: Her infectious laughter is matched by her excellent listening and teaching skills. Loves Jagjit Singh, and lives in the mistaken belief that she cannot sing.
