Bismarc Treats

DSCN2802

22 people, nine bikes, one car, one beautiful hotel, four waiters, a wad of 1000 rupee notes, one very happy hotel manager and a faint drizzle of rain was all it took and the evening was BISMARCED!!!!!

Sunday, the 3rd of September was when Bismarc 22 was taken for a treat to “The Thaai” (meaning mother, not a Thai restaurant) restaurant in Trichy by Bismarc 23. Prior to being flagged off at 7:45 pm for the outing by members of the Anti Bismarc Committee*(PGP2), the Bismarcians redefined Corporate Social Responsibility by informing the mess employees not to prepare food for the 22 Bismarcians as they would be dining out that evening.

45 minutes later they were outside “The Thaai” restaurant, the tables were ready for them and once in, the Bismarcians sat in groups of vegetarians and non-vegetarians for dining convenience. The evening’s course of dinner began with a variety of soups ranging from tomato soup, hot & sour soup to chicken soups. The soups were followed by the crackling Sizzlers ordered by the author and Suprabhat (read as Suprabhaath) which had the whole hotel covered in smoke for quite some time and then followed the main course comprising masala kulcha, paneer kadai, nethalli fry, plain dosa (ordered by Prabhakar), naan,vegetable jalfreiz, prawn fry, dragon chicken (did drive the fire in our stomachs), chicken makkanwa, fish fry, garlic naan, dhal makhani , channa masala, aloo mutter, mutton biriyani, dhal thadka, chicken 65, ginger fish, vegetable steak, gobi Manchurian, lemon soda, Coke, cassata ice creams, strawberry shakes, scoops of vanilla and butterscotch, all in multiple orders (that’s all my RAM permits he he). During the entire course of the dinner , the digicams clicked incessantly and even the food wasn’t spared!!!

22 burps later the Bismarcians (comprising Shailendra, Vinod, Chockalingam, Pravin, Mohan Raja, Mohan, Pawan, Sunil, Prabhakar, Suprabhat, Yazhini, Nandinee, Elancheran, Pragadeesh, Jagadish, Shiju, Madhan, Venu, Saravanan, Amit, Sowmya, Madhu) were done with the dinner and off they went on the return trip after a few hip hip hoorays at the hotel. The return trip through the Mathur-OFT road was lovely with everyone being kissed by the faint drizzle of rain which was accommodative enough to let them take a few snaps as well. To announce their arrival back in campus the Bismarcians set off a 600 wala (typical of them really) which woke up the entire Bim Street neighbourhood. We Bismarcians never fail to do injustice to being veritably branded ASBs (Attention Seeking Behaviours). Thus, in the end requisite behaviour was displayed and requisite attention sought!!!

(* - Anti Bimarc Committee (PGP 2) a.k.a ABC, an informal grouping in BIM, happens to be Bismarc’s biggest critic and Biggest helper in times of need as well.)
