A Hat-trick...

Yesterday, Friday the 24th of November 2006 made it three in a row. Yes, a hat-trick. Third time that we effected the MISSION "Friday Fodder" (F²) with amazing ease, and without much fuss. Ya, thats the strength of having food lovers in your team. And of course, good old pals in the team.

F² Team: Adit, me, Prasad and Venkat.

It all started this way. (10th November 2006)

Me: Machi, free ya?
Line 1 (Venkat): Wise men think alike... I'm ready machi..

Me: Machi, free ya?
Line 2 (Adyit): Enga varanum nu mattum sollu maams..

Me: Machi, free ya?
Line 3 (Prasad): Aama, aama... Athukuthaane. Epo nu solluda maapi..

Not a trace of complexity involved, right? As simple as that. All four of us assembled on time, as if gonna catch a flight, and executed the plan effortlessly. That was the starting point. By that time, all four of us came to a consensus. We all held up our right hand, and feigned a courtroom oath, "We would by any means, and all means make ourself available for the F² without fail whatsoever be the situation or emergency". (Kudutha kaasukku mela kuvuraeno??)

And so did we. All the three weeks, "naalu perum chumma moochu thinara thinara, engalaala evvvalavu mudiumo, avvvalavu saaptom". Emotions too were playing around. We were in tears, when one of the servers said, rather whispered the following to his fellow mate, that we overheard - "Evvalavu saapadu kondu vechaalum, oru parukkai kuda micham veikama sapadranuga da... Ivanuga romba NALLAVANGA da" nu sollitaan...

Jokes apart, this get together is like a revitalization or a rejuvenation for us. After all we slog, work and work the entire week like a machine. F² is like d'Announcement of the weekend. I could really feel the rise of a lot of positive energy out of the chitchats & tittle-tattles, out of the food we share & eat together, out of the grins, giggles & laughters and most importantly out of meeting the machis.

Would love to rejoice the Hat-trick, and btw looking forward to execute atleast a century of Mission F² as Bachelors!!
