Things have been moving along nicely. Rohit and the girls (I can just as well say the girls) have taken up the charge of cooking to themselves. No one complains. Everyone's happy except for Rohit at times, because he is always looking for perfection and is often ceding some points to Madhavan. With his motherly attitude, and his slip of tongue over a failed expression having a failed explanation, Rohit got baptised as Baby Mom. When we asked the guy at the counter to write 'Baby Mom' on his birthday cake, one should have been there to see his puzzled expression.
Among the other inmates of 69 CLV, Vishnu and I have developed a good rapport, especially since we have common interests in food and travelling. I like discussing a spectra of stuff with him. Madhavan is the jester of the group. He identifies Indians as Tamils and rest of Indians. He says that he hates North Indians (from Andhra northwards) and he doesn't seem to have a choice in what he likes or hates. Somehow Rohit became his chief target, and he got no respite even on his birthday.
His birthday was a lot of fun though. The birthday card (which Rohit will hide forever), switching off the mains, the small muffin with a candle, the big surprise for the Baby Mom, the attack on the G (GPL etc), the denied request for the dance. In the evening, we went out for dinner at Fox and Fiddles. The food was good, but everyone pounced upon it like starved children. I managed to get myself high on 2 litres of beer. I was completely in my senses, but everyone around liked making fun of the small mistakes, which can happen even in a sober state (trying to open the door from the hinge side, calling someone by the wrong name, walking backwards etc)
The ladies of 65 (as referred to by a certain Srinivasan) add to the flavour of our group. Keerthi is soft-spoken, and a good listener. She has an eye for art. Supriya on the other hand is more exuberant and likes taking the initiative. She has an ear for guy-talk. Both of them somehow have a huge belief in the supernatural. They watch horror movies, but cover their eyes in the climax scenes.
Adarsh is Jai Anand*-V2.0..........."Rule kaun follow karega jab koi dekh nhi rha hai"....."Free mein mil rha hai, jitna ho sake utha le". Rishi Big-guy is the bluffmaster. I don't know him too well yet. Sundaram, one of the rare pure-bred nerds, likes his work much much more than anything else. He eats only Indian food (preferably South Indian) and is a strict teetotaler. He is intelligent and a nice guy to be around.
We often play games, either snooker and TT at the Community Centre, or indoor games like cards, pictionary, twister and mafia. Sometimes during weekends, we have some liquor alongside to add to the feel. Overall, life's good. But time's moving very fast here. And I wish it slowed down.
