21st june- go shorty ..its my birthday....wanna sip bacardi coz its my b'day......

21st June happens to be my birthday I thought I’ll be alone but that was before I spoke with my friend abhi who lives in Washington DC…felt good when he immediately said hes driving down on sat-d-day.This guy was blazingly fast in deciding things.He said he’ll plan his trip and 5 mins flat he had his trip scheduled along with the hotel booked out.damn commiited…I’d say.he indeed reached up later that noon after a 2 hr drive.he has an amazing looking bmw 3 series.frikkin awesome car it is. we went and caught up with Mike.went to Iron hill brewery which is actually a brewery (seriously..beer is made here) and a restaurant. We had a late lunch.at that time.we were still undecided where to go.earlier that eve, mike me & Brandon had decided to go to philly to some club and party along but since Brandon couldn’t make it , we ditched that idea.
fortunately or unfortunately .the hotel abhi booked was 27 miles away.then we realized that the indoor go kart track we went to previously was on the way.hit it this time.luck was on my side.i got a good kart and guess wat.i had a terrific race.incidentally I won too.!!! awesome race…we guys were like a rolling triangle each trying to pass the other along the racing line.awesome.the josh was set.jumped into another round.this time my kart sucked.and to make matters worse,there were girls and children on the same track.Potential danger on the track.enough to make the speed slower.damned.it was a total loss for us…every time a girl crashed into the tyre wall.we wud b forced to cruise @ a speed  of 5 mph.hwz tht for racing speed.more such incidents followed.once we were racing and suddenly the kart slows automatically and stops.wat the hell are we doing then.it feels like it’s a big RC car race.somebody is playing.horrible.never will I do this again.as in electric karts.before we even kicked into a race , it was over.waste of money.
then we headed out to abhi's hotel. A drive to Philly was still on our mind.but after we reached his hotel , change of plans.we went back to west chester to our all time hangout went to another jap restaurant called Kooma,mikes fave haunt,not mine coz I don’t like sushi but majority wins both abhi and mike liked it. we went there and had Japanese wine called saki.its actually wine made of rice.I had only read bout it & now I tasted it too.that was only the beginning. we then went pub hopping to all places around town.Teca had the best music then more hopping around till 2 am.thts when we were thrown out of all places…2 am all places close down.end of day.
what a way to celebrate b’day.
Sunday I got up late and did nothing till eve and then it was movie time again.this time it was M.Night.Shyalamans movie “the happening”…freaky thriller of a movie….
end of weekend…..

14th June- movies ,go karting and japanese restaurants...

Thought I’ll end all traveling and didn’t go anywhere…made full use of office laptop. no not from L&T..from my clients place…and WiFi…saw lotsa top gear on youtube…made full exploitation….tht eve, Mike n me decided to go to a movie…we decided on going to the Adam sandler starring “ you don’t mess with the Zohan”.. saw that and got out ..to c that the next hall had Iron man playing…it’s a nice movie I’d heard…sneaked in and saw that too..!! 1 ticket..2 movies. worth it… Sunday eve Mike, Brandon and me went on a a drive 20 miles away to a indoor go karting track…went on a race…got irritated…these things were the electric ones….they can be controlled…kill joy….karts should be all out fun. but no…these places are not fun for that very reason…they pre set the speed….i came last ..kart had a bad tyre setup…couldn’t do much….my reason for finishing last..i drove like a tourister taking pics all along the track…!!..didn’t work well though…..then we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner…Hibachi..this is a chain of Japanese restaurants….the chef there actually works for Mike too…..the speciality in this place is that the chef actually cooks in front of you..every table surrounds a cooking range…..most of the dishes are made in front of us…but before all this is the stunt work……he does this amazing stunt work in front of us with the knives …amazing …blazingly fast work….sometimes we wonder about the time he misses his stunt…..knife will come flying to us…these guy are professional enough though……had good food and got back…..another nice weekend…..i’ve got videos of the chef ..can’t upload though..big file size….c pix......

7th June -Ocean City Car Show

   Ocean city, Maryland is a small town but v popular in summer for the beach….now interestingly, this place is a strip of land…its got one big main road with buildings on both sides and behind the buildings on one side is the beach and the opp side is the bay…so..its water water everywhere scenario…awesome it is….its a big party time destination too… but we were going there to Ocean City Car Show . Mike had taken up a stall to display out there.

  Now the bigger bit of story is reaching there….3 hrs drive …me n mike were in a rental van..2 seater with lotsa stuff in the back of the van…brendan in his SUV and the model for mikes stall in her car…see…this is where the worlds oil is goin….neways…the roads in US are very nice and well made…but at times…it looks more than well made…thts where dependency on GPS kicks in..now we didn’t have GPS…so we had to rely on google maps and then print out the route instructions….miss one exit and we miss the route big time….we were to reach Ocean city through a complex set of roads….unfortunately …the route instructions missed one exit …we were searching for the next exit in the wrong road only to realize we went 23 miles out of way…..!!!!...this is the complexity…in India..all we have to do is stop at a cigarette shop and ask….we get back on track …. That does not happen here…now that is the painful part… we went 23 miles ahead to piss on the roadside and get back…just when my bladder was full…mike ..the fool deliberately drove on rumble strips on the side of the road….one more rumble strip and I’d have pissed in a bottle in the van…asshole..we had lotsa fun on the way only to get frustrated coz we had missed the road big time….finally reached up….set up the stall overnight…it was quite late by then …checked into our hotel room and then..party time..!!! went to a club called seacrets…awesome place…now this town is a huge party all the time…v much like Goa…got back at 3 in the morning…had a blast….next mrng ..lazily got up to go to the show …this place had diff cars ..nice show this was….one thing common to all car shows is the music and the glamour and money…money spent on cars…too much….this was an indoor hall…and we were in a hall adjacent to the main hall….the music in the main hall was awesome…there was a DJ mixing competition and the music was awesome ..unfortunately , we were tortured with a playlist of 5 songs….5 songs played 30 times full day…I hate all those tracks now….# 1 on hate list is alien ant farm- beat it ….even in my dreams I was listening to “beat it beat it beat it beat it beat it…….’..aaarrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh….and rihana-umbrella…” ela ela ela ela ..eh eh eh eh eh eh….”…..I will run away if somebody plays it ….one more day of same music throbbing in the head…hated it …....whenever beat it wud play..i ran away…these guys saw it…the playlist was predictable…so..if I was bz talking to somebody …thse guys wud trap me and not let me run away….assholes…but I’d still run away neway….cudn’t tolerate tht track at all….brandon got back to West chester earlier…so..when “beat it “ wud play..we called him and put the fone on the speaker and made him listen….so he suffered either ways….sweet revenge…. got back late on sunday night … had an awesome time there…me Brandon and mike….laughed all the while….
