Well today was a fun outing in the afternoon when the four of us Me, Fonda ,Sarvesh and Selwyn all went out for lunch at Godinho’s it is a small goan restaurant here in panjim famous for its goan food. Since we all met in my office at campal and since sarvesh was the only one with a mode of transport he took up the responsibility of shuttling all of us to our destination thnx dude for the shuttle service
So we sat down and continued with our chat and catching up with what is happening with one another I guess distance really pulls people apart and today I realized it since we had not talked like this for a long long time well if my memory serves me right the last time we were like this was on our trip to nagpur but then we had another monkey with us Satya hahahaha but now even with constant chatting and sometimes phone calls it is no supplement for a personal outing with the gang
but all of us are where we are because of the choices we made in our careers so it is all cool but whenever we are down we should make it a point to meet up (hmm am always up for it but the others come with a predefined schedule for their activities in goa and find it bit difficult to squeeze in old friends time in that schedule )
Well after sarvesh made three trips from office to godinho’s to shuttle all of us there we got down and ordered our lunch (the service was slow it is because the place was full and they were short on waiters so it took some time for the waiter to come to us to take our order but we did take a lot of time to decide what we were having selwyn could not decide about chicken or squids hmm he was saved from his agony with the fact that there were no squids hahahaha and he has made bigger choices then ordering from a restaurant menu wonder how he made those choices ) Well finally we ordered I ordered pork balchao, fonda ordered beef fry with capsicum and sarvesh and selwyn settled for the chicken cafreal some french fries and some drinks two cokes and two 7up’s the food was not good not at all tasty like the normal godinho’s food maybe the cook has changed but then again we all had our lunch and then we headed back to my office for some more chit chat.
There we talked about new ventures told them about my new comics idea and they could not stop laughing at my story but am sure its a billion dollar franchise and I will see who will laugh at it later hahaha (evil laugh). Talked about our jobs, where our lives are headed etc
talked about movies, comics, games etc etc then finally we dispersed as selwyn had to get home and rest (that is the main reason he comes to goa to sleep hahaha) well it was quite a nice half day considering the fact that I was a bit upset with some office developments in the morning but the afternoon outing really cheered me up
hopefully we will have more outings like this in the future with our lives becoming more and more work centric we find such things difficult to plan and execute as all of us are spread all over the place seperated by huge geographical distances and are no longer in a small place called Goa.
