How life takes a full circle

Today 17th Oct 2010, sitting at home chatting and passing time got a message from Subhojit whether I would like to come for Durga Puja and I agreed.Pretty excited to watch goddess durga here in Mumbai as I hardly find temples around.Three of us-I , Karthik and Subho decided to meet at a point.We inquired numerous autorickshaws, kilometers of walks, endless traffic jams and huge pomp and show of goddess immersion ceremony on road after which we finally reached our destination-'The Juhu Garden'.As soon as we smiled, we found the gates closed :(
Approx 10 km of journey wasted...Now what to do??
I suggested why not go to the Juhu beach and will have dinner at nearby Pizza hut.Again kilometers of walk, inquiring hundreds of rickshaws and endless traffic jams we reached Juhu beach.We smiled again to reach the destination but found the closed pizza hut.Now best option is to have a walk at the beach and go back to the place where we started from.
Juhu beach damn crowded.. full of Goddess Durga..wow the blessings were with us ..we wished to see a single idol and we saw hundreds :D
Took a long walk and started for Dominos.Again we inquired numerous autorickshaws, kilometers of walks and finally reached the place where we started from ..the meeting point :D
Now the payment option we had was a prepaid card which me and Subho had won in an event.We inquired Dominos, went to Mc Donalds and Subway but none of them accept that card.
The best option left now..TTMM..guess what ..'Tu tera mai mera'..thanks Karthik for this lingo :)
Had pizza finally, after travelling to some 25-30 kms..taking the full circle of the place and back to where we had started from.
Better hota if we just had pizza at the starting point.Today I discovered how life takes a full circle ..whatever it was..a memorable evening though :)
