merry christmas

yep! that's the way i should be :)
Thursday evening i decided that i gotta see bro! and i bought the tickets and landed up at Charlotte the next evening.

I reached around 7pm since my flight was an hour late...and we went straight for a party to his friend's home. Saw quite a few new faces...infact all new! It was a nice crowd. From bengali PhDs to housewifes to financial forecasters to just the 'here for fun' kinds. We had this Bailey's drink - made of cold coffee and vodka, 'twas nice. Although that's not the one that made my head lighter than usual!

Vikas and aishwarya arrived late in the night. And Sameer-Vandana arrived next day early morning. Everyone wokeup to say hi-hello and then everyone went off to sleep, including the early visitors ;)

All of Charlotte was closed on Christmas eve and the day as well. ( i am told that in Dayton, even walmart of closed on Christmas eve...now that is some nuz to me) Anyways, we went out on Saturday night to Capital Grill. Its one of the most expensive restaurants in Charlotte...yeah...humare standards unche hain...(not that we had no lunch and it was 9pm and the only visible open restaurant was his one). Anyways, we had some drinks and appetizer there. The food was real good. We had ordered Lobsters and Calamari. Had either of these for the first time. It was real good....mmmmm....

I had a great time in Charlotte...considering that i had been deprived of new intellectual company for quite some time now...and i needed that break.
