We've had amazing feedback for the very initiative of 'shaadirocks' and had everyone waiting for the next post. So here we are, not to disappoint you so early in life!
The usual question that everyone loves to throw at us is, "So...how is married life treating you?" That's where the problem takes root! Married life is a lot simpler if only the question was the other way round - How are YOU treating married life!!!
And we decided to treat our week before New year as a married couple with a blast!!! The slow yet thoroughly enjoyable blast started on 24th Dec. And this is how our agenda for the next few days ran until 1st Jan.
24th Dec: Christmas Eve Dinner at Paparazzi (Royal Orchid Central), which Conde Nast lists as one of the 100 best restaurants in the world. It's on the 10th floor with a great view of Bangalore. One helluva expensive dinner but awesome ambience. For all those couples scouting for a romantic candle lit ($Dear$) dinner, Paparazzi it is!!
25th Dec: Christmas - "Meet the Parents" session coupled with Ghar ka Khaana and accidentally treated ourselves to this cute movie - Bee Movie! One adorable movie that takes you through the natural animated process of honey making. Towards the end, the fight for justice remotely reminds you of Guru sans Ash :-)
26th Dec: Off to Commerical street and Cake exhibition - fed ourselves all possible junk we could lay our hands on
27th Dec: how could we miss the sister road - Brigade road beautifully lit up with year-end sales. Checked out Croma - the recently launched Tata store for Electronics. It seemed like we lost touch with cooking at home and saw ourselves sitting opposite each other in no time at Kanua - restaurant that serves Konkan cuisine; dim lit with old wooden furniture (ranging from school benches to 130-yr old roof) and gentle music resonating out of tree trunk.
28th Dec: Every rule has an exception and so did this! One-off day when we actually worked for our respective employers. The only outing we had was to Adi's new swanky office and Paddu's unconventional ad agency.
29th Dec: The silence before the storm - that best descibes 28th. 'cause 29th saw the beginning of a storm of Awesome Foursome at WONDERLA (Adi, Paddy, Manu, and Anu)! Roller coasters to wave pools, dashing cars to water slides - insanity defined in various forms! Laugh we did, all the way back to "The Only Place" , an Italian Restaurant on Museum Road where we could have asked for no more cheese than we cared for!
30th Dec: Lazy Sunday with lunch at MTR and Akshay Kumar's Welcome at Urvashi theatre
31st Dec: New Year's eve - all geared up for a Home Party at our aunt's place! Food, movie, and more food, games, and food again defined the evening's agenda!
1st Jan 2008 - New Year came and we were back home to meet Paddu's parents and ended with a cozy dinner at "Wok with Chung" with our relatives. Now that's how you would start a New Year - couldn't have got better!
All the way we were reminded of the movie "Over the Hedge" where RJ says [pointing to humans], "They *always* got food with them. We eat to live - these guys live to eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about!" Read more (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327084/quotes)
And now we are glad to be back in office for pending bills beckon!
Cheers,

Daymn.. Nice post. Lots of energy in the blog and you guys to do all those.
I on the other hand, spent most of last week waiting for my wife to come back.. from Dubai, then From bangalore..glad that we spent the New year's eve together though... and now I am back to waiting for her to come back from kurnool... :(
These are the tougher times.. Hope you don't have to face such times.
Yeah! Very happening! Good for you:)
I'm finally back in h'bad. So good to be back home. Just want to stay at home and watch a movie and relax. I so hate travelling, especially without Siraj. Sucks bigtime.
So glad to be home:)
heyy nice one.. :) now i don wanna wait till 25.. :P .. if u noe wt i mean.. hehe..
hey!!!
great to see that u guys r still in josh of "newly married"
i dont know which school of thought do u fall into... i mean.. should u guys still consider urself to be newly married.. or the other stream of thought of staying newly married for rest of ur life..
anyway-- wht the heck.. the underlying principle is "enjoy madee"
great reading ur day by day event log...
over here in this part of the world.. i visited my inlaws- in jamshedpur for the first time.. after the marriage.. i.e. after almost 18 months.
somehow managed the leaves...
anyway-- keep rockin...
b
People like me don't ask 'coz i know that you've "treated" married life with great elan. :)
By virtue of your description, i expected the post to be much longer.
And, if u keep both the heads and tails to yourself the blog would have neither head nor tale ... err.. tail... hehehe. :P
Now, i've got to get back to work for pending bills are a b!tch.
interesting.... :)
Siraj: Was great to have you guys at home in Hyd.....one of those awesome days of paisa-vasool fun!
Samz: Now that you guys are back home..how about coming to B'lore?
Anu: I agree too! Guess it's time we found you one ;-)
Benoy: Guess we have some more time to decide our school of thought :-)
Shanks: You might find our next post way too short....n right about not having a tale ;-)
Truedreamzz: Thanks :-)
