Dinner in Kothagudem

Monday,March,2012
Last Monday turned out to be another successful day for us as six of us could meet together after a long time.The only people missing were Deepanjan,meeting whom has become a once-in-a-year affair,shoaib who is always 'busy' in Hyderabad,and p,who was busy with his project work with Indian Railways.
    Five of us,Akram,Abhishek,Bhanu,Kiran and myself were staying in colony while swat was in Kothagudem, about to start his project in Singareni Collieries.The actual plan was to go for dinner in Hotel Venu in Manuguru but as it turned out swat,at the last moment said he couldn't make it as he was too busy with his work.We were disappointed with this and held a voting to decide where to go .Shall we go to Kothagudem or continue to Manuguru without swat? Kothagudem won hands down.
  So we hopped on a bus to Kothagudem and reached within an hour.That hour didn't feel like an hour as the whole time in the bus was spent in laughing and shouting.We had only one task at hand on the bus: to prevent akram,who was the only one to bring his earphones, from listening to songs.
 After we reached,we went in hotel Cosmo to have a small snack where Kiran kept away from the place as he doesnt eat Non Veg.Next,swat came and after a round of hugs with everyone took us to his Grandma's place.There we spent some time before swat took all of us in his Maruti 800.That was some ride.we were now 7 people including rajeev,swat's friend from suryapet.the seven of us crammed inside the car.As usual i had to sit on top of someone and to ensure justice to all i spread myself over bhnau,kiran and abhishek equally :-)
 We decided to dine in Hotel Thatipalli. As usual we discussed at length and great detail about trying out new dishes but after much deliberations settled down on Biryani.Kiran as usual took Egg Biryani.The food was not much to talk about and we didn't care as the purpose of our dinner was to meet and talk, not to enjoy the food.

 After the dinner it was time to return. swat dropped us at the bus station where luckily for us a bus was just about to leave for Manuguru.we boarded it and the journey back was spent in discussing about the future of our club and how to keep the activities and fun going.Thus ended a very enjoyable meeting between all of us after a long time.

Akrams B day party

This Independance day, akram,swat,abhishek and myself found ourselves in the colony.I-day was on monday and we came on saturday.And the best event of this trip was Akram's birthday party on saturday.we all took out our bikes,loaded them with petrol and took off for Manuguru.We started after iftaar and reached our usual hotel,Venu in 30 mins.Tired of eating biryanis everytime we go for a party,we ordered something different this time.we checked out a few different chicken curries with the usual, butter naans. After that lip smacking dinner we had some local sweet pans, after which we set off back to the colony.The return had a minor hitch where the headlight of my bike stopped working.Because of that our return journey took a bit longer,but  we were not complaining.For us, the longer, the better!!
Another good thing we did this time was attending the I-Day celebrations at school.Though it was a 'thanda thanda' affair unlike the grand affair it used to be in our times.

last Saturday ie on 31-jul at 8pm ,i started for suryapet.my college was starting from 2 aug and i thought of making a stop at suryapet as 1aug was friendship day.this time shoaib also came.he started earlier than me and reached around 7pm.i reached suryapet at 1:30 in the night.there abhishek,swat,p and shoaib were waiting.soon we were on our bikes zooming on the deserted roads.instead of going to our room we went to cafe coffee day(a small surprise planned by abhi,p and swat) which was opened recently in srpt.we had some coffee and some snacks,spent some ttme there and were back in our rooms by 3 30am.by 4 30 ,the wickets started to tumble,the first one to sleep was swatchith.soon shoaib and abhi follewed.only p and me stayed up till morning.the next day we bought some chicken and under the expert cooking of our master chef shoaib,we had some finger licking chicken pieces.that was a fitting end to a wonderful friendship day!!

razzaq

''whew i finally made it.''exclaimed bhanu as he made his way into the bus stand,where akram,abhishek,swat,p,deepanjan(yes!,dippa ,he came here for a two day trip which he somehow turned into a 3 day stay,though we were more than happy for that)and myself were waiting.bhanu made that remark as he somehow(his parents were against this trip)got away from his house and came to join us for the trip.this time we were going to kinnerasani dam on river kinnerasani.we all boarded a bus to palvoncha.there we had our breakfast and proceeded towards the dam by hiring a tata magic(they can be seen almost anywhere in the countryside) the driver dropped us right at the entrance.

no sooner had we walked a few steps , a monkey jumped on bhanu's arm,snatched a pack of packs of chips he was carrying and ran off. bhanu gave a startled cry but soon he regained his composure.we were more careful after this and were on our guard.we walked on the dam and over to the other side.the walk itself was refreshing ,the day was warm and cloudy, a gentle breezing was blowing and it was the right time to visit the dam.we walked on and on till we reached a satisfying place to sit down and have our snacks and drinks.soon we reached the end from where the path went on to some village ahead.
we sat at the end of the embankment,just near the edge of the water and soon began unpacking.after a tiring walk,the cakes and snacks made for a refreshing change.soon we got down to talking and deepanjan told us some of his much awaited stories,which he promised he would tell us.(those stories are not here to be shared.meaning they are a secret)we sat there for ,maybe 2 hours enjoying the beautiful countryside and the mildy crashing waves of the river.

soon it was time to go and we made the long back back to the start of the dam.on the way swat started playing football with a cola bottle.deepanjan,abhi and me soon got into it.we ran on the embankment passing the ball to each other .it was very exciting and made the walk more interesting.the others followed leisurely behind.after a few minutes shoaib came along and hit the ball right out into the water and that was the end of our little game.we were taking some rest when somebody started singing 'all is well' and soon enough everybody was into it.singing,shouting and talking we made our way back.there luckily for us an auto was dropping off some people who had just come.we engaged it and in 20 minutes reached palvoncha. and from there took a bus to kothagudem.there we had our lunch consisting of the usual rotis and biryanis.after that hearty lunch we boarded a bus back to our colony.and that was the end of another fc outing which we finished by shouting "all is well".

today was saturday and i had nothing planned.i was in my aunt's houz when suddenly akku called and suggested a visit to golconda.i was up for it and soon i joined akku,arif and farukh.we made our way through the small alleys surrounding the golconda in an autorickshaw.as it was a weekend we could see a lot of tourists,including a sizeable amount of foreigners.i already had a printout of the map of the fort and we followed it.it took an hour for us to reach the top most point, bala hisar.it offered us some spectacular views of the surroundings. i could spot some other landmarks like tramati baradari,the qutb shahi tombs,the gandipet lake and others fro there.we had sat here for sometime before seeing the rest of the fort.we saw many important buildings like the armory,akanna maddanna's office,the diwan e khas,ibrahim quli qutb shah's mosque,barood khana,the hamam and others.the whole fort is beautiful and on reading the various stories associated with the fort and seeing the very place where it happened one gets transformed back in time.we took 3 hours to fully cover the fort and in the process didnt miss much of it.

just came back from suryapet.
yesterday i took out my books to study ,but nothing was getting inside.so i decided why not go to suryapet and get refreshed.
so within 30 minutes i was ready and started off.
reached der at 9pm.
after a dinner at a dhaba consistng of parathas and butter paneer.
we settled ourselves on the terrace. we discussed about our vishakapanam plans
till 12 and then watched a couple of movies.
we finally slept at 5 in the morning.
got up at 8, had our breakfast.and passed our time till 3 when i finally started back for hyderabad.
well, my mind did get refreshed.....
