the tea party with no tea

april fools day at 6 o'clock was supposed to be the official opening of the office- to be inaugarated with a 'tea party' and the chai wallah never turned up. instead there were thums up bottles from the neighbouring dukaan, wafers, sandwiches and batata vadas from the famous mithibai pavement. and in the epilogue- kingfisher strong beer and alcazar vodka.. thanks to all who turned up and for all your wishes..

they being:
me and amit, mom and dad, ninad (promising to use only 2 syllable words), ateya (intellectual no 2) , manish (whose 'fort group' has finally managed to get their hands on the 'sewri fort project- i am so proud of them), hemant mama and madhavi mami (who gave us money to buy a wall clock- making amit very happy), prakash uncle, vijayamala aunty, ranjit (see blog to the right), meghana (existential elevators and killer samosas ???), shyam and deepa (srhiya-less), prasad and rupali (the emperor and empress of erytria), geetu my aunt, amrita (amits sister who is looking so glamorous after joining the fashion design school), nishesh and tejas (amits boys), mayuri and abhidnya (amits girls), rahul and sushma (who got us cake which we cut like a married couple posing for photographs)

thanks to all of you guys and to those who could not make it for various reasons. mukul and sonal especially; and john.. and all of you who read my blog and those who dont.. missed y'all..

i have no photos of the party to post. i think i will borrow some from ninad or ateya..
happy april fools day- by the way.. and happy birthday saurabh.

now for some work.
