IITM , Chennai and Chennai's Bars / Permit Rooms

IITM Rocks .... Went for the Alumni Meet and met all people who had taken time out from their schedules and turned up in Chennai for the department reunion , including Nair Saab who had come from Leh ( This is what I call committment!!!) and Senthil , who had just become a father to a baby boy the previous day evening.

Some people were notably missed though but not that we did care otherwise!!!
and after that some music and attempts at fusion music on the veena by some people made the day in IITM.
Then the funstarted!!! we thirsty souls went in search of a water hole a.k.a similar to Sivakumar singing 'Thanni Thotti Thedi Vanda' on the streets of Cathedral road and landed up in the savera - Bamboo Bar and the place decided to give us the Bamboo!!! B@#$%rds . Please no one go the the place , they unashamedely promote the much much higher priced lounge bar updtairs by having few seats inside and telling everyone that they are full!!!
Then it was back on the streets and no idea where to go on a nice balmy Sat Night. The the most Ironical thing . Virdee and ashwin call up from the UK and give us some very much required knowledge on the waterholes in Chennai. This is called multinationalism.
Then we head out to this place called Sakityan on Burkit road and the place called the 'DEN' they might have called it the circus since we found only some underage kids downing beer by the bottle!!!!
Then from the den we went to ' Hotel Peninsula' with its cocktail peninsula - which is very close to Ashwin's house ( Maybe some customer credits for Ashwin ??) and then we enter and the same scene - youngsters with beer!!! and Kini shouts 'F#$%' as soon as he enters as if he is the guy arund and everyone make way types!!!! and then he goes and pleads with the bartender... sir I have come all the way from Mumbai ,, please let me drink!!!!

heheh it was so funny and of course the 4th bar we had hit. then we and vipin went to the diesel bar which had space but was too expensive. Then we ultimately went back to Peninsula and drank to our hearts content till about 11:30 ' Long live Peninsula who served us well after the time limits and very good service also.

Then we head back home ( Walk all the way) and then Abhishek who was too drunk realizes when it clears that he left his phone back in the place since he was sitting cross legged with a wierd posture that made Kini seem to be in a disadvantageous posture!!!!
Then finally they got the phone bck and we all slept or rather crashed and next day Abhi goes to Bangalore and is to go to Mumbai by train on Sun night and all trains are cancelled. Lets see what he does.

Well thats how Saturday was for us!!!
