Dinner @ Taj

It was a pleasent Saturday evening. Special plans were being made to arrange one of the Best Dinners of all time. S was running busy for the 'cake'. Another S was assisting B over the kitchen with ample support from V. While the other V was making special arrangements over the look and feel of the place, the ambience etc.

My cell phone rang. (Tring Tring..). I picked immediately. S was holding the other end.

S : Hey, I want you to be here as quick as possible.

Me : Okay..45 mins. My travel to that place will take that time. Hmm..Will somebody pick me up at the station ?

S : (After a pause, and some low voice discussion) Fine. V will be there. C u soon (The call ended, before even i could ask how is it going !)

I was 10 mins late than promised. V was exact on time to pick me up. The moment I stepped in, I realized things were being done above expectations !! These were some of the samples I saw..

Both the S's now appeared for a moment amidst their busy work and excalimed :

"We believe, we may run short of time. Just sync up with V for your work and make it fast".

Me : Okay will do. But..but..the Audio ?

(Both of them replied) : All set to rock :) ! We finalized what u said.

Me : Hmm. good. Thanks :)

Myself and V now started working on the most interesting part. The entire party is set to happen on candle lights. We decorated the place with candle stands on equal intervals. Some of them hanging out with whatever support available. Half an hour passed. We switched off all artificial lights and lit the candles alone for a demo-run. Wow !! Everybody screamed in unison. We lit only 1/3rd of the existing candles, being a demo. Certainly the whole lighting will be lot better. Everybody seems convinced.

We called the special guests of the evening on their mobile. They will reach on 15 more mins. Took rest for 5 mins, and now started lighting all the candles. Good Heavens !. It looked extra-ordinary. With everything set, we turned on all artificial lights back again, so that the guests won't have a clue when they see from outside.

2 mins passed. The car arrived. The 'Special Guests' got down. B and V were inviting them. Hand-shakes exchanged. Just when they were about to enter, everyone did what we are supposed to do. S turned off the corridor and the entryway lights. I put off the party hall lights. Other S turned on the Audio System which will start in a second or two.

The Guests were confused for a moment when they stepped in. The entire place suddenly shimmered with natural candle lights. They were surprised with the change, and a sudden cake that appeared in front of them. Just as they begin to realize what was happening, the song played "Endrendrum punnagai..Mudivilaa punnagai"

They cut the special home made cake. (Oh! ennuyireay, oh oh ! ennuyireay). Huge claps turned the whole place upside down !

Dinner followed after some talking. From the Soups to Icecreams everything was served with choices. From Tomato/Veg Clear Soup to Strawberry/ButterScotch Icecreams to be specific.

S and S made the day. They are the daughters of B and V (the V who did candle decorations). B and V are my chithi and chitappa. The other V is S's friend.

For those who are still trying to find where it happened and who the 'Special Guests' are... very simple, read my previous post :)
