Of food and fun!

After many an office party in the past few years, it was all but a routine thing to attend yet another party on 18th Jan. A reluctant heart, an open mind was all that was taken with me to the venue. The ambience was really rich and the restaurant did appeal to one and all with its style and splendour.

With tables spread around, it was literally a case of 'musical chairs', when I was sitting in one big circular table and finally ended up in one of the more 'used to' rectangular ones.

But then something was in the air. The energy levels were on the rise and from then on began a good sense of laughter - jokes left right and centre. Its not everyday that you get a group totally into fun and frolic, right from the word 'go'. This will surely go down as one of the more memorable moments of my time in London.

By the time food was served, our tummies were full of laughter, and then on, it was a matter of relishing food and fun all in one swoop. My table mates, thanks to you all for making this a very enjoyable evening. Much appreciated.

The desert was quite ok as was the rest of the food. This party, for one, will be remembered for that strange sense of happiness which engulfed us all, something which doesnt necessarily can be put into the trials of 'justification' or 'reasoning'.

A windy walk home, interspersed with some slow moving trains, made up the rest of the evening.

A wish come true for that ideal party. If you want to relish one such party yourself, all you need is an open mind and a relaxed frame of thought.

Of food and fun, indeed it was!
