29th Aug: Dad's Birthday celebrations..

Started off yesterday, Rakhi celebrations with Mithun, who took us around Maryland’s interesting farmland & the riverside.  The drive is alongside carpets of cornfield, which end at dense forest lands. The roads are typical countryside, narrow, winding, giving one the feel of a roller coaster ride, considering Mithun was driving at his speediest best, making sure my tummy did double turns at every dip on the road!!!! 

Today, he takes us to Monotac river point, where we saw a few people canoeing, which was interesting. And, even though Mithun was sure I wouldn’t be able to cross the river, I managed quite well on all four & scaring the chottu chottu machliyan  …. There is no ways I plan on breaking any limb of mine in a foreign land!!!! If Mithun had told us about this place, we would have definitely made it into a nice picnic, with pukka bonfire, khanna & drinks!!!

While Daddy gets his surprise party organized by Ashaji, Rony Uncle , Ruchi, on his 70th birthday, at Wellington Club, where he cannot help but grin & recover from the shock of seeing his second born ( complete surprise for him!!)  & the invitees of a few of his favourites!!!  We party with Shabnam’s friend at a Thai place & then get back home to partying with Montu da & Mom.

Trivia …. The quality of food is definitely better at London!!!!

Trivia. If one was to drive, even by mistake, onto anyones land, Maryland gives the residence of their county to shoot at sight!!!!

Highlight…. Here was Mithun thinking that I would fall in the water, but it was Mithun who just about managed to keep his balance n not slip in the water !!! ahem … don’t take punga’s with me, is wot I say!!;-)
