Wow!..these past few days were awesome. Initially I had thought of reminiscing about the year that was and writing it all down...you know the conventional "new year day blog"..but I dropped that idea..mainly cuz it was a mixed year for me. Many good things happened (and I am grateful to god for every one of them) and plenty of sh*t happened as well..but the
Gang-up!
My pal Shruti was here in Tokyo all the way from Kobe. A job which is not easy and full marks to her. She has always been gutsy...ever since I had known her. I kinda resolved that I would not make fun of her anymore and say good things about her as much as I can....yup....I was drunk! But since I am not anymore (sadly) and since she has gone back, I can return to my normal "mean" self. Anyways, so, me, Sumit, Vishal and Shruti were together for the entire week. Had an awesome time.
Hakone
All of us went for sightseeing to a place called Hakone. Its a hill station kinda place which offers an awesome view of mount Fuji. And yup..it was truly magical! Too good for words. Even my not-so-amazing camera was able to churn out awesome pix. But the best part was the cruise. It was soo freakin cold! but it dint matter cuz "we are all hardcore yaar" (Damn, this line has become our tagline for anything and everything we do). Anyways the cruise on Lake Ashi and the ropeway over the sulphur springs were the best. .. not to mention Shruti's company (I really need to be in control of things I say when I am drunk! *homer - doh* ).
Tokyo Dome
We went to Tokyo Dome again. We had an awesome time when me, Sumit and Jain went there for the first time. The rides there are fabulous. The best part was that the waiting time is really less. Anyways I relived those scary moments again...mid-way in a free fall..the steep drop of the roller coaster Thunder Dolphin.. and the pace of the Linear Gale. Whew!..I am getting goosebumps while I am writing it!
New Year Countdown
Me, Sumit, Shruti and Vishal headed back to Shruti's place for celebrating the new year. And damn what a night..the last train for Shruti's place was at 11:53 pm and the train back to our place was at 12:21 am. The night was spent opening up some beers..making fun of Shruti..bitching about office etc. etc. and soon we realized it was 12:00. So we wished each others and stuff..and realized it was already 12:10. The place is like half an hour from the station (walking). So thats when we all did what we could ..run our a**es off! It was weird ... me and Vishal had these beer cans and were running in the streets! I had never imagined that I would be having my first jog of the year along with my first beer of the year! Anyways we covered the distance in 10 mins! My half marathon training definitely helped...and I came first! Anyways by the time we reached the station the train had reached the platform. We jumped in..took some pix of our accomplishments and last but not the least finished up our beers (I dont think its allowed here in the trains).
Dinner
After the Hakone Trip, all of us were really tired. Thus, we decided to spend the last day..their last day .. doing nothing :D . Shruti came over at 10:00 am and the morning was spent in sharing the pix that we had clicked and random stuff. Me and Sumit decided to treat her with our new found talent in cooking. But there was nothing at home .. so we went to the local grocery store and on the way back we had awesome ice-cream from Cold Stone. The best ice cream I have tasted till now. These guys are really cool..they make the ice-creams like bartenders make drinks. And they sing while doing it :D . Anyways it was already 4 pm so we decided to merge our lunch and dinner together. So we came back..made "awesome mushrooms" and "awesome aloo" with poori, paratha, pulao and ..phew raita..and halwa. Damn!..we had soo much fun finishing everything up. Ohh I forgot to mention there was soup as well! Phew!..we clicked some more pix and roamed around near the riverside...my teeth chattering away..it was soo cold! We finally dropped off Shruti at the hotel and came back and dozed off.
I am just back after seeing off Shruti and Vishal at the station and I am missing them already. The house is strangely quiet. But things would be better soon..esp after lunch and daaru at Syam's and Anwarul's place ... yaaaaay!
amount of sh*t >>> amount of happy.
Therefore, I would write about all the fun that I was having these days.Gang-up!
