It was the time for reunion of the school and college friends at Bangalore. The occasion was my good friend Appu’s (Arvind) marriage (he was the last one to tie the knot) in our gang.
It all started off with a good drive from Chennai to Bangalore with another friend Subbu. Enjoyed the 4.5 hours drive and after checking in couple of chilled bottles of barley water (what more you expect after a good drive) was served. By late evening almost al the friends checked in from other parts of the globe and we were gearing up for the wedding reception. Had a great time at the reception and followed by the lengthy daru session kicking off at one of the rooms.
The session had lots of emotions shared upon. Happiness, sorrow, difference of opinions, minor quarrels, neglects and sentiments. End of the day we were all the same old little school kids or college dudes painted us as corporate honchos/managers/businessmen sitting under one roof happily tasting the same drink we had 10-15 years back. We covered almost all the topics ranging a span of 15 years and shrinking it to 5 hours.
Apart from pulling each other’s child hood stuffs, we thanked all our teachers/lecturers/principals and mentors for what we are today and without their support we wouldn’t have reached this milestone. Finally the time came to depart with lots of hugs and little of tears, exchanged/updated mail ids & mobile no’s. . . I am sure this trip would remain fresh in everyone’s mind and heart, not forgetting to thank Appu for bringing us together. :)
Happy married life – Arvind and Shwetha!!!

Creamest of all..................
My recent hogging was at “Cream Center”; this restaurant serves good Indian and continental cuisines. In addition they also serve some lip smacking tangy desi chats . . . out of the world taste; for sometime I went back to my childhood days I spent at Mumbai. The ambience is simple and good and so are their service; very good customer service and the baristas as friendly and warm.
I started off with their signature starter “American corn balls” followed by thick vegetable soup (unlike the usual soups we get). The briyani was very different and so were their lunch combos. I opted for pasta from their wide choices available. Well I was not disappointed at all; the preparation was authentic and delicious.
Finally, it was the time for the deserts . . . they did not disappoint me here as well. My craving for the Mumbai “Golla” was accomplished at Cream Center, though the look was not the same as amchi Mumbai but the taste indeed was; especially the “khalakatta” flavor.
My best wishes to the owner and the team of CREAM CENTER. I would rate 7 in a scale of 10 and CC is a must visit place.
Improvement: Air-conditioning is poor; they really need to work on that.
