Fresh breeze... The rushing sound of the waves attenuating as they lap against the coast... The pleasant scent filling the air... Presenting to you, a marvelous weekend for the cloud 10, as they decided to check out the ECR front of chennai...
The occasion(do we need one?!!!), was Satti's birthday... Having had a fitful sleep last night(thanks to the 39-2 score in dota and the 29-13 in CS), I woke up late at around 11AM [:p]... A few of my relatives were gracing us with their visit, so I unwillingly forced myself into the bath and came out, still tired from last night's gaming... Satti and Giri came to tell me that they had left the bike(which Satti had borrowed the previous day) in the parking space... I wished Satti a joyous and memorable birthday, and they left... An hour later, the relatives came... I resigned myself to my room, not being the gregarious type... An hour of dota followed and I was idly(it's the present continuous form of 'idle', not the south indian 'delicacy' [:p]) killing the pitiable Necrolyte for about the 25th time when my mobile phone suddenly came to life, as if reminding me of its presence... It was Satti... the message was short... be at the gang's place by 2PM... As usual, I didnt delve into the issue... I just said I'd be there... he asked me to bring my bike's papers along... Finding something worthwhile to do, I searched for the papers and found them(at last) in a file, buried deep within the pile which i realized were my clothes... I changed fast and told mom that I'd be late... I rushed to the place and saw that everyone was dressed(may sound odd, but by 'dressed', I mean, they were dressed for an outing)... I soon realized we were going to the ECR... In about fifteen minutes, five bikes, with ten reckless juveniles were zooming along the roads of chennai, without a care for anything mundane or supernatural...
We reached the beach at around 5PM... Having decided to go for a movie at 7, we planned to stay out of the water... Apparently, the omnipotent thought otherwise... Under a sudden impulse, Balaji(KK) and Hari hauled Satti and started towards the water... They were soon joined by the rest of us, eager to help them in the 'mission'... A moment later, Satti found himself among the waves, drenched head to feet... Soon, the party extended to the rest of us, everyone taking turns at hoisting others and 'heave-ho' into the water he goes... We decided it wouldn't work to stay out of the water... So we got in and had a real gala time in there... the waves slamming against us, relentlessly as we tried to put up a bit of a fight... After an our, we were forced to accept... Nature was better at it, i guess it's because of experience(we're 20 years old, she is about 500 billion... an unfair fight)... tired but happy, we came out of the water, dried ourselves, to an extent, and went to the prarthana open air theatre... The movie 'Aarya'... a decent movie, not my type, though, with the heroine being a negative minded character... but it ended as all south indian movies do, the hero marrying the heroine and the bad guy going to prison... a long day, we decided to get back to our cozy homes... I was a tad irritated(i rather not go into the details, it's a bit uncomfortable), so I was riding the bike at a fairly high speed... In about half an hour, I dropped Arvind(Maya) at the 'place' and got back home... All in all, a wonderful day for the cloud 10... btw i forgot to mention the esteemed members who constitute the coveted gang called the 'cloud 10'... let's see... Ashwin(that's me), Arvind(Maya, my best buddy), Balaji(fondly called KK), Peri(the 'mama' of our gang, he is our godfather [:p]), Muthu(when he's around, it's always fun teasing him), Sathesh( a.k.a Satti, he's about 6'2 omg), Lakshmi Narayanan(the 'mokkai' of the gang, his jokes drive you mad, with anger more than humor), Amrish('kadai' as we call him, a fellow who's slightly thicker[:p] than a twig), Giri(the 'Neikkarapatti Nattamai') and Anbu('Peter' for his deliberate display of English)...
