2 meet bloggers

Pre Message P.S : The subject of this post read backwards also makes sense!!

Yes that was my intention on Sunday 3 pm after a nice comfortable lunch........

And of course to gulp some hot/cold/weird coffee as a dessert!

Well lets start with the very beginning shall we? Srinivas had already left a reminder on ma phone tht morning and buzzed me 5 mins prior to 3 pm both askin me to and tellin me that he'll, be there at 3 pm sharp!

I was third fastest(as one Mr Over Eager Stupid Colombian was recently!! ) to the CCD at 7th block, which surprisingly unanimously was chosen as the venue for this time's meet also! I met Narendra there who i knew as one of katu's friends from PESIT.... We were just chatting around when Keshav turned up.... For me every new entry was time for some activity as we had to swap pleasantries n more.....

One by one the poor(he!) participants trickled into the rather frosty CCD (i tell u it was cold! atleast it became cold after we ordered the Cool Blue..... ahhhhhh the Cool Blue!! more of tht a lil bit later). Then it was again a general discussion about jobs, girls, Rajendra's absence (who turned up eventually to all our satisfaction ! ) in groups with some ppl just left staring at the tv or outside scanning for some "soothing sights" (7th block CCD is a gr88 place for tht)..... Anyways, i broke the ice and the first QJam strip and played Welcome home(Sanitarium) (as a welcome song, come to think of it now! ) which was not welcomed by some ppl there i guess .... .....

then the whole evening and focus turned towards Srinivas courtesy Narendra and myself.... Srinivas just kept making statements equivalent to digging his own grave and kept wondering why we were at him so much.... It was fun...... We ordered some stuff which everybody was reluctant to eat.... Dono why but i sensed some amount of, u know, restraint n caution being exercised in the atmos there in CCD..... not from ppl like Naren, Srini n myself of course....... but still.......

Eventually, inevitably we come to Srini n Cool Blue.... He once told me that a few of his friends and himself liked the cool blue drink in Coffee Day so much that they created a Yahoo group after it! (which i am pretty sure is lying in the dumps right now activitywise....) I DID NOT know he liked the drink THIS WAY..... Halfway thru the evening our krazy cattu (deliberate reversal of first letters) starts offering a free Cool Blue to ppl who "dare" to drink it.... Given its past appraisal and his current offer which were pretty contradicting, i weighed the pros and cons cautiously looking for any hidden traps in the "challenge" sheeni had put forth and accepted it bravely....

After it had been ordered(a couple of em actually) Naren warned us abt some gross "cant look at it" thing that Sreeni usually does with a Cool Blue.... this kinda prepared us for something but i did not guess the seriousness of the crime yet.... :P

So came the damned Cool Blue, and Our Sreenivas politely says "Hey can i have it for one sec?" I give it to him obligingly and he ....... he .........


Female customers (??!!) of my blog turn away........ (I trust my female customers coz there are none)


He takes a napkin, pours a couple of drops Cool "blue" right in the middle and grins at us triumphantly!!

I must say i dint get it immediately (due to my innate goodness of course!! :D ) but then when sheeni/naren (dont remember) said "Watch ur ads more closely" i got the whole gist of the heinous yet amazingly simple n brilliant trick pulled of by our own kattu..... He continues to amaze me so much on so many levels..........

Oh and the meet ended with me n griz leavin sayin we had to watch formula 1..... and srini forcing everyone of us into a bloggers trip........ (just kiddingsgalu kano sreeni !!)

Well, I was there when Srini did this the first time... Tell you what, it was Naren who ordered the Cool Blue drink then..

And yes, our coolbluegang yahoo group has died because of inactivity.. But that's mainly because we started a google group in the same name.. We still interact with each other through that group & the CoolBlueGang group is very much alive..

And just that if you didn't know, one of the criteria we set to join the coolbluegang was to drink 3 glasses of Cool Blue within 5 mins.. And yes, our group would sponsor the drink if you can drink it completely..
