I'm comin' up, so you better get the party started

 

  • 27th of August

After a long time, we had the luxury of sleeping till late in the morning. We had a good old Kannadiga-style breakfast at Kamat’s and about 11:00AM, ambled over to New Delhi Railway Station and picked up Chaithra’s Thunderbird. Surprisingly, both the bike and our wallets came out unscathed. I guess it was just a one-off thing… dunno. Anyway, for lunch, we were back at Kamat’s. After two weeks of Aloo Parathas, even Raagi Mudde’s tasted great.

In the afternoon, Karthik of Royal Beasts met us, and re-worked our itinerary. Our original plan was to leave Delhi post-lunch, but Karthik insisted that we join the Beasts at a party that evening and leave the next day. Sandy left for the Airport, as the rest of us packed our bikes and headed to the party at Karthik’s place.

Quite some party too, it was. A Royal Beasts party is much like a RTMC or a Madbull party (maybe not quite as wild, though). Loud music, booze flows freely and dance floor. The one difference was the presence of super-hot babes, the kind that adorn our desktop wallpapers. But they studiedly avoid all bikers, and spent the entire evening on the balcony next to the party. Huh ?

A minor ragging session ensued for Suresh of Royal Beasts, for the incident at the petrol pump at Bhowali. I am still at a loss at how he could have got scared of Prashi. Prashi looks like a strong wind could blow him off his feet.
