31st December 2005

Few days ago we(i mean myself n frenz) thought of celebrating this New Year with great fun and partying, so we started our discussions a week ago , we started with Disco or resort plans but finally what we did was totally different and had a 1000% deviation from our plans. We were very much enthusiastic this time coz the last year we skipped celebrations , reason is very well known. Initially we planned for dicso at some star hotels. Some discos allow only couples. We are a gang of 8 or so boyz so that is ruled out, some other clubs inisist that boozing is mandatory. We dont wanna booze at the 1st hour of a New Year so that is also lost, finally some non alcoholic bashes seemed to be for families and will not suit us bachelors so ultimately we decided to our same old choice, our favourite hangout, the BNB as we call it, Besant Nagar Beach. Since some of our guyz had some personal commitments they have to leave early, after a long discussion at my fren's house we decided to dine at Pizza Hut. 6 of us made it finally. We just had a soup, a pizza on sharing basis, a dessert. The bill was 1200 rs. approx. Does the dishes deserve that much money? Absolutely not. Why does a dosa like item made of wheat dough, applied with cheese and pieces of vegetables accompanied with sauce cost 300 Rs. I searched thru the net. 3 kgs of Mozarrella cheese cost 4000 Rs. this is the MRP, but definitely these ppl must get it in some subsidised rate. Let it be 3000 finally. Hardly around 50 gms will be used for a pizza, may be less than that. Vegetables cost only 50 per KG at max. They use only pieces as toppings. Olives the base and all other stuff i think it should definitely be around 100 Rs. to prepare a large pizza. But they r selling it at 330 Rs. on an average. The rest 200 is for the A/C , cool interiors etc. I realised how we are wasting our money on this. I am not against pizzas nor do i hate them or like them. But why is it so costly and why do we have to spend too much on this? i cudnt justify that. But anyway we enjoyed the dinner moments. Before going to pizza hut we dropped by Moonwalk to get some dvds. I bought 4 of them.
Italian job, Troy, Sound of Music and Karnan(Sivaji starrer). I have been planning to watch Sound of Music for a long time and at last i got one. From the trailor i understood that it is the movie that inspired Shanti Nilayam in tamil. Karnan, oh what a movie amazing performance by Sivaji. The songs are also gud, plannin to watch it some time next week.
I didnt like all the programs in our TV channels, so planned to watch my own. Yes i watched Italian Job for the first time , gud action packed movie a worthy addition to my collection. Then decided to go for Troy in the evening, watched Troy again for the 7nth time with Appa. The first day of 2006 has gone and now am blogging about it. Looking forward for a gud 2006 and wishing you all the same......
