Beach Party Resort Trip on 17th Jan 2009

Guys, 17th Jan 2009 day was yet another memorable day in our life. Because, after a long time we regrouped at IC.







(Parthy oda vaaiy paarunga, epadi thooka kalakathla vandhrukaan nu)
(Cheenu enga escape ayduvaano Mani amma avana pudichu vechirukaanga)
(Lux, Manik and Jamal - Old Little Flower Mates - ipo paarungo little flower endha size la iruku nu)

But, before regrouping at IC, we played underarm cricket at Gary's appartment for an hour. Then we all together went to IC to meet Mani.







(Our best photograph)
(Can you find out whose thoppais are these?!, Yes, you are right, but you will not get any marks, because its known to everyone, hahahahaha)
We clicked few group photographs.

(Rare scene!!! Two Mammoths embrace each other.....)



Then we headed towards the Beach Party Resort minus Manik, as he wanted to spend his rest of the holidays with his family members, a genuine reason.

Gary and Anand sat at the rear side of Parthy's Sumo, only later Parthy came to know that these guys planned to sit behind just to gulp the beer bottles which they were carrying. Parthy didnt allow these gimics to work, strictly told them not to drink inside the Sumo.

They didnt have anyother options apart from closing the bottles. For Gary and Anand, those were the toughest moment in their life looking at the closed beer bottle. They both were cursing Parthy.

Finally we reached the Beach Party Resort, earlier called as Aristrocat Resort. We picked up the stumps, bat and tennis ball then started playing Cricket. But i should say, though so many years passed by, but still we guys played really well, especially the swing done by Parthy was amazing, Chaathukudiya puzhiyara madhiri puzhinju oru ball poduvaanae, chancae ill...

We also decided to play double wicket, in that Gary was dropped because of his poor performance in his previous matches. So, we asked him to click photographs while wicket keeping. He did a good job by not keeping behind the stumps but with the camera.

(Azhaaku, at his best stands)

(Karthik, handling the ball, you are out)

(Perfect front foot drive..., aana ball bat la patudhaanu dan nyabagam illa)

(Cheenu oda usual and casual stands, but he can always play a big shot)

(Tired looking Lux, after the game, adhelaam seri, adhenna keezha thongudhu....)

Then we went to the Pool, as usual Gary and Anand had a gulp before getting into the Pool. One hour we walked inside the swimming pool, later had snacks worth 1000 rs. (heights of spending)

(Idhu nyama da, azhaaka paarunga da, avan nakra style'a..., anga irukra plates'a paarunga da, evlo suthama nakki clean panirukaan nu)

(Enga ponaalum Garyum Aazhaakum pakathla enna nadakudhunu lam theriyaadhu, avanga vaelayala kuriya irupaanga - Gary saraku ku vendiya saaman ellam edukraan)

Then we played TT, Parthy was the clear cut winner, thrashed everyone with his blistering forehand. No one survived from his ruthless game. By the time Gary and Anand had an other round.

(Parthy, kadhai solraan, seriously discussing about IT subject)

(TT la shirt'aya kazhuti veluthu vaanginan)

(Off late, Karthik has phenomenal improved in TT)

We said bye to the resort and then reached our all time favourite Kart Racing. Again Gary and Azhaku finished off two more rounds.

(Machaan, Karting zone ku ponaalae oru majaa dan da, _____ pasanga 200 rs aakitaanga)

(Am coming into the pits)

(karthik, speeding inside the pit lane)

(Lux dan sama comedy, avan dan last'la first, ellaarum avana maathi maathi overtake adichaanga, idhula avan vandi anga anga park paniduvaan on the track'la)

From there we reached a Chettinad Hotel had enough dinner, by the time Gary was almost flat, he couldn't walk steadily.

Finally, we reached Gary's appartment, dropped him next to his door and we all reached home safely.

Though it was a short trip, but really a fantastic one, we really missed the presence of Dhadi, Deepak, Naina and Manik.

(Lux, Bangalore kelambradhuku munaadi Mani'a meet panitu kelambinaan)



My dream is to have an outing with no one to spare in our group, and am sure the fun and frolic will be unlimited.

I should really thank Lux, for taking so much of pain to reach Chennai and left on the same day to Bangalore. Lux, hats off to you....

Loving Joe
