| | The weekend !!

Its been this way most of the summer, work the entire week and then enjoy on the weekends. This weekend was no different - or was it ??

Most of my close friends were with me this time and we decided to meet up in norfolk,its a small costal town in south virginia. It was reejo's birthday on monday, so all of us decided to take a day off from work on monday, making it a long weekend.

But norfolk was not enough, we booked a small beach house for the entire weekend in a place called Nags Head. A little info, nags head is like a refined version of Goa, its one of the best beaches on the east coast, on the atlantic. The drive from norfolk to nags head was really happening, i was caught by a cop, speeding at 75 on a 55 mph speed limit road, with everyone except me drinking away to glory in the car. We had open beer cans in the car, the car was rented on a friends name etc etc , enough reason for the cop to even put me behind bars, forget giving me only a tic. After managing to put on the most innocent expression i ever have, to convince him that i didnt know bout the speed limit, i convinced him that we havent heard of alcohol in ages - forget consumption. Result - i was spared.*chuckle*..but not before shantanu was given a warning ticket partly due to the way the three cars were moving around.

With That out of the way - we had 3 unbelievable days at nags head, with not many ppl on "our part" of the beach.Water games, ball games, buring ppl in the sand; we have had our share of the beach this summer.There were some unsaid rules - ppl who drink will not be without booze at any time of the day, no one shall sleep before 7 am, vishal would have a bath every hour (with beer not water), if the music is on, everyone will have to be on the dance floor. There were rounds of margarita mixes, watermelon juice with vodka and some 200 cans of beer. We also had a peek at the Wright Brothers Memorial, the place where they had the first flight.

Monday, was Reejo's birthday, so sunday night was cake cutting time,we adhered to the tradition of "thoda khao thoda pheko" (jaane bhi do yaaron style)-pheko on reejos face!! Reejo uncorked the champagne marking his quarter century; we followed that up with a round of firecrackers.


Phew, i could go on and on, Sapna and Shruti have almost covered the entire trip in their posts.The weekend post on wednesday - cause the weekend lasted till the early hours of tuesday morning, reached home around 3 ish, and couldnt get up for work at 6 30.

This probably was our last outdoor this summer, with fall round the corner its time to buckle up to some serious studies and an extensive job search.
