Back in our PU days: Jagannath Balachandran , Preetam Modur , Vijay Balachandran , Vikram Maheshwaran and I decided to celebrate New Year by going out for dinner on 31st night and then go to MG Road in Bangalore. Those were days where we depended on our parents for every single rupee.
We decided to have dinner at Pavithra hotel at Jayanagar and only when the bill came our assumptions came out that the other person would have brought some money to pay the bill. We tried taking every rupee out of our pocket and yet fell short of what we needed to pay. We promised the hotel guy that we'd pay the balance but I guess we did not. We ran away from that place as quickly as we could and then spent half the night on MG Road.
Those were days where we didn't have money but had fun together as friends. Today we have money to afford the bill for all of us but we don't meet that often.
Days when we had no money sounds like a lot of fun and friendship than days that are about making money. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
