The sleepy Kalagram came alive on Tuesday evening, as CATS converged there for the terrace party...complete with manjian (cots), nimbu pani, and snakes (ouch, snacks yaar)! Though the head CAT decided to play kool and arrive late to preside over the waiting CATS, it was a changed scene thereafter...and charged too, as each one tried to know each other through self-introduction.
There were 20 CATS (and there were few more on the wall), who breezed through the cool evening with peppy talk, and numerous asides that had everyone laughing to their hearts' fill.
Dr. Ashok Chordiya shared his passion for birds, A P Singh was bit modest in sharing his hidden talent. Pradeep had his 'memorable experience' with his wife to share over CATS morning forays, and Aashish wants to see his bangles around every lady in Chandigarh. And everyone seemed to recall the rafting experience at Rishikesh, including our IT guy Ashish, Navpreet, and of course, Supreet, while Neerja could be seen quitely enjoying the session.
Col. Chugh, whose face appeared so familiar to me, happened to have had 'close encounters of many kinds' in the past, that refreshed our bonds.
Paramjit kept the evening refreshing with his repartees though dinner menu kept him busy throughout. Shikha of course was rescued at the last minute by the arrival of chicken on the tables, whereafter it was the feast time.
A pleasant evening. Refreshing from mundane routines. So much so that someone was heard saying to have one trek and one dinner every week.
Any takers?
