The original "Wellness Committee" founder and now affectionately referred to as the "Ring Leader" celebrated his birthday with us hoodlums on a rainy Wednesday evening, instead of doing his rightful duty of a familyman. So more special the evening, the better will it be for him to drown the domestic disturbance later. The painful drive to Purple Haze was a damp squib when we figured that the shutters were down on this one for good, and GP looked like a very realistic proposition. One of the deep guzzlers in the gang suggested "Legends of Rock" and few "punk" dudes amongst us forced the idea on the rest of group. Our Page-3 contact,. using his extended network, got us a good corner side of the bar to go with a 10-15% off the final bill ( the percentage was contingent on how much we splurge on F&B). The starters and power drinks flowed, and a special recommendation for the tandoori chicken, wedges, lollypop and the paneer tikka. The bar had a juke box and predicatably we dedicated few of the legendary rock anthems to the birthday boy, and cried ourselves hoarse in the name of lip-syncing few lines we knew from the songs. To make matters worse, there were the actual videos of the songs being played out which encouraged people who otherwise would not have opened their mouth, to cause more misery. At around 11:30 we were politely and symbolically ushered out of the bar, and the usual culprits who were always suspect in handling their drink, caused quite a ruckus. It was a while before we got back to our apartments, instead we went chose to hang out on the streets with the cops manning the streets giving us a good stare. Oh...by the way this episode was ages ago ( So this is in a way anachronistic !! )
