Amazing evening with Friends

Last evening (21-Feb-2010), Rupam and Aparna invited us(Prashanth,Hema,Sucheta and me) for dinner at their place. Reaching Rupam's place was easy, since we knew the route.Having reached there, Aparna made wonderful soup along with garlic bread.In the meantime, we recevied an SMS from Deepak warning us about the snowstorm and possible bad driving weather conditions. We checked the weather updates and decided that we take a call while we leave.

After a few games of UNO, (the universal timepass of most Indians in Finland ) , we clicked a few photographs. Prashanth took a some snaps of the bonsai plant at and other intresting things at Rupam's house. The menu for dinner was great : Paneer sabji, dal, rice, rotis followed by great desert (Custard with fruits).
Just before leaving, we checked the weather forcast again and felt that we could drive back home. But once we started the car, we figured out that the visibililty was too low. The wind shield was not clear for driving. So we decided to stay back. So we went back to trouble Rupam and Aparna. An ideal movie to watch at this moment would have been "Athithi Tum kab jaooge" :)


But anyways, I feel that the decision to stay back was really good decision.
It was pretty late by then. So all the intelligent people (Aparna,Hema,Sucheta) went to sleep and we 3 idiots (Ravikiran ,Rupam,Prashanth) decided to watch some movies. Rupam showed some National Geographic videos which were truly amazing. Especially the video about the search for missing Afgan lady who once featured on the cover page of National Geographic magazine.

We had some really interesting discussion about life, nation,world,religion. Prashanth shared his views about Buddhism, which seemed very interesting. After few hours discussion we decided to sleep at around 4 am.
We got up at around 9.00 am and headed home. The drive to Prashanth's apartment was terrific. Due to heavy snow, the driving conditions were not great. Not used to driving in heavy snow, the following half an hour of drive seemed like eternity. At a round-about near pitanmaki, the car skid to such an extent that it took everyone by surprise. Somehow we managed to avoid a collision with the parked vehicles.
We visited Prashanth's apartment and had nice masala dosa (courtsey - Hema). This is the first time we had masala dosa in Finland. It was really wonderful. After the breakfast, we drove back home - another challenge in itself :-).

An absolutely amanzing adventerous evening with friends!!!
Thank you all (Rupam,Aparna,Prashanth, Hema ) for the wonderful time.
