So long - Farewell

Age is catching up with me - I'm experiencing the signs. The last three times I've drunk a good amount of alcohol and I'm not talking like bottles, but like say 3 drinks,I have suffered the most drastic consequences the next day. When I'm drinking I'm fine but the morning after...... my head is swimming, slight pounding occurs, bouts of nausea occur - functionality to an extent ceases. This is post water consumption by the litres and insisting on food going in and still the symptoms persist - I personally think it's my body telling me Enough! 9 years we've been subjected to this torture, now behave yourself. I used to be like a tank: 7-8 drinks and good going [of course past this limit and there is no explaining myself but still....].

Yesterday was a very good day - P and I discovered this new place Vertigo, which is quite nice, different from our regular Soul Fry [where we landed up in any case later]. Anyway Vertigo used to be D'Nosh and is quite posh - one of P's colleagues/friends tried to organise an office party there and tentatively suggested playing Hindi music to which she received the caustic reply - It's my pub and I only play 80's!! which suits us just fine - really good music also - songs we have not heard for ages since Club IX started playing vague things like Rakatak - I mean is that really a song??? So back to Vertigo, their margaritas not so good but food good and ambience also - will try different alcohol next time. Then we moved on to 'adda', where we 'bumped' into friends. Since Soul Fry DOES good margaritas, we felt compelled to drink [truth be told, we only went for the margaritas!!] and so ordered a couple more. All in all, good night!!

Yayy... new place to go to. I really cannot deal with Hawaiin Shack. I've been to D'Nosh - but only at such odd hours that I would never be able to find it on my own. Is it very far?

listen if you complaining abt shack earlier now there are 3 levels - the ground flr is still good retro - the 2nd flr is retro hindi and punjabi with current hindi hits thrown in - the 1st flr tried to be cool by playing 'house' but gave in and plays current english hits with hindi for good measure!! so dont complain but yeah vertigo has nice music and good food but margaritas leave much to be desired!!
