..."if you can't be there, do the next best thing - send flowers"...

... well... i was able to reach there AND brought flowers... it was 5th April and it was MG's birthday... after dropping-off dad and sis at the railway station i went off to office... and during the mildly relaxed hour of lunch time decided to checkout the FB... and was reminded about the birthday... called her... wished her... and the mind wandered off to work again...

... and then AC called me in the evening and 'invited' me to join-in for the... well... watever... so we landed in the same hotel NikkiZ stayed over however this time i got to visit the BBQ-nation at the terrace or watever it is called... the food was okay the cake was yummy and the service was admirable... (they had to make it 'a-table-for-three' from 'a-table-for-two'... apparently AC 'forgot' to inform them for the added guest ... (note to self: check the reservation before u jump!)...

... last month was a lot about travelling... some of them familiar places... others were first time experience and rest were were 'rejig' for memory... just for the record we traveled to Kopargaon, Shirdi, Shani-Shingnapur and Mumbai... max speed achieved was 140kmph... had three close encounters with accident including one very very close! ... had to stop afterwards to gather my breath... (note to self: if u r accompanied by family pay more attention to road AND drive slow!)...
