Girls' day out can be a dangerous affair

I am not kidding !

I am damn serious about this statement. Yesterday I met up with my buddies for a birthday dinner and we nearly got killed.

Who's the culprit? It's we ourselves. Right from the time we met at the restaurant gates till we bid each other bye , we had laughed continuously. Hey.. no.. don't jump to conclusions. There's nothing wrong with us, nor are we prospective inmates of KMH. We were meeting after a couple of months, and every sentence spoken, to even the tiniest of gestures, had some funny connotation behind it that could be understood only by people with funny bones the size of a woolly mammoth.

Well there are some reasonably funny situations where the birthday girl says: "AG.. come on lets order soup"

And she waves to the steward who comes upto take the order. My other friend and myself were quite ready to place the order as we had already seen the menu. The steward comes to our table and is poised to jot down the order on his notepad... and the birthday gal says: "Can I have the Menu Card please"

My other friend and myself would have burst out laughing immediately.. but the steward ... (oh bless the sweet guy) he smiled and calmly pointed down to the table... to the placemat. Yeah the extensive menu was there right under our nose on the paper placemat.

The steward calmly walked away. Thanks God he did so. As soon as he turned his back, we laughed till the birthday girl pleaded to stop. The reason was, she had laughed too much till eyes started watering and messing her eyeliner.

Similarly a lot of funny instances filled the evening. Of course I gotta maintain some censorship here at this juncture, since its too personal to be put on a blog. (Actually I wanna save my skin, incase the girls read this !)

Well... ok... stop frowning... if you are really curious about what we girls might have discussed during the dinner.. hmm .... logistics, HR policies, manuals, presentations, demergers, acquisitions, inductions, high tea, shifts, editing, events, travelling, shuttling, content management, workplace politics.. oh yes, God promise we discussed all these in between a sprinkling of intellectual talk on people we knew (yeah .. u read that right intellectual !!)

At the end of the day, we were a quite tired of laughing too much and our cheeks were hurting. Not only the cheeks. But it was paining from head to toe. We had got a secluded table at the retaurant, so we had all the freedom to be ourselves, to be kids again :-)

I was a very happy person when I came home. I came back home with a smile on my face, and the day's events still running in my mind, and I began to smile to myself again... and there started my trouble ... My mom... she thought I had gone nuts. She still feels something is gone wrong with her daughter. Believe me I am beginning to grin as I put down all this, praying hard that she doesnt notice me :D

Okies, let me cut this here, hope you had a nice time reading this. Next time if you come across a gang of girls laughing mad, take a closer look, it might be us !
