A Date with Tess !!!

Nov 29th, 2008 - Why could this be a special Day???

It is a story of three musketeers - Boney, Adarsh & Lalith. What seemed to be an inseparable friendship, long carrying the motto of "One for all and All for one" had encountered a rude awakening. Now there is treachery, jealousy and spite !!!

Tired of the brotherhood and worried about his marketability if delayed any longer, one dreadful day Boney realised that he needs to be more than just a musketeer, he decided to marry a princess! The decision though seemed to have dawned upon him but it had hit the other two musketeers hard in the stomach. Instead of being very happy for him, one thought of the encroaching vacuum of free ride to work and the other was growing green in jealous of Boney's ease in finding a princess.

Boney found the princess and he found her with an envious ease. He was content, happy and from the day he met her, Boney seem to have found the secret door to Neverland. The rooms now are locked for the rest (other two musketeers), as Boney started to love his privacy.

Just as "Misery loves company" is true, "Misery hates being left out" should also be true. One musketeer is not able to get into neverland as the price he needs to pay is very expensive (ISD calls) and the other musketeer lives in a paradoxical world where he encounters too many princesses and his best friend "confusion" keeps him single and away from his Neverland.

Besides being the only musketeer who inhabited neverland, everytime he goes to meet The Princess he comes back with bag full of gifts. As a cascading effect there is more jealously, more spite more bad blood. While one musketeer publishes blogs in protest the other (adarsh) kicks, punches and squeezes the daylight out of Boney for no reason (Ooops, he indeed gave one reson "I am just flexing and you came in between");

If this was not enough Boney has disowned his brotherhood completely. The other two musketeers have not met his princess for a loooong loooong time whilst every other accomplice of Boney had met her.

All this and much more made The Princess the most awaited and anticipated guest in town; Boney finally fights his demons within and invites the other two musketeers to meet her on 29th Nov 2008 at Diera City Center, Food Court!!!

Because of the high anticipation on the D Day, both Adarsh and Lalith though feeling little out of comfort hopped in our partner in crime Honda Civic. The way towards City Center seemed more treacherous than usual aided by Adarsh's sense of direction. With fewer ghastly mistakes Adarsh seemed to pull off an unthinkable he found the perfect place for parking the car.

Magnum Opus!
Food Court in Diera City Center was its usual busy self with over 1000 ppl making it difficult for us to spot the couple. Just when we seemed to have lost in crowd "Lo Behold!!! The Princess a.ka. TESS arrives amidst the crowd gracefully walking alongside Boney (who was having an expression filled with pride on his face which can be interpretted by the desolate souls as "I have THE princess") "; Finally we get to see her and we get a chance to judge her (He Ha Ha --- Evil Laugh).

With a brief introduction we moved to TGIF for lunch; The lunch went well with a menu of Lamb Shank, Grilled Chicken with Cheese, Margarita, Summer Salad, UAE Economy, Office Gossip. It ended with Lalith playing a fool when he recollected his first flight experience and the horrible coffee he managed to make. We let the couple do some more shopping and we were on our way back.

Overawed by Tess' Date, all we could muster out after the lunch was "Boney is a Lucky Basket!!!"

Now you know why 29th November 2008, featured in my blog !!!
