We had to leave when the kids started crying, we were so caught up in chatting :). Old friends are so good for the soul, just a talk with them is sure to energize.
Other high points were :

A great lunch at Mahesh Lunch Home — yummy food and met an old batchmate of G’s whose family was the reason why Pune has such fond memories for us! Then, we went to Gateway of India, which will always be special because G and I spent our first meeting walking on Marine Drive and going to Gateway.
Spending New Year’s Eve with dad and bro chatting and having pizza and wine — Priceless!
Mumbai cabbies — honest, chatty, cheap and very decent. Really miss them here in Bangalore.
Homemade besan laddoos — yummy.
Back in Bangalore now with a song in the heart :). Here’s wishing all my wonderful friends a beautiful and peaceful New Year.

P.S. We also saw the vulgar home of Mukesh Ambani. The building looks awkward and even more ugly up close. They definitely have the millions but no aesthetic sense or social responsibility.
