356: A fun-filled day in Bhopal...!!

The day started early...at 9 am precisely when I was at the Habibganj railway station waiting for her. At 9.30, she tells me that the train's arriving at Bhopal's other station!! I did a record-breaking intra-city drive...and finally met her!

Went to Noor-us-Sabah, via my office, for breakfast...but it turned out that she doesn't have breakfast. Went to Jahanuma Palace for coffee...but it was too early for the coffeeshop to open! Nothing is seeming to work...until we finally hit Cafe Coffee Day at the other end of town.....! Again, we ordered hot coffee..and got served cold coffee. The number of friends with us started growing steadily....from 1 to 2 to 4. It was the case of more the merrier...and we ended up driving around town....with loud blaring music interspaced with loads of laughter :)

Had lunch at Jehanuma...and then the shopping expedition began! I took K and her sweet lil' friend on a detour....and later, dropped 'em off at the place where the others in the group were trying out every outfit in town! Rounded it off with a round of drinks (and mocktails for the ladies!) and dinner...at Noor-us-Sabah Palace...overlooking the wide expanse of the lake. A perfect evening... I just hope it comes back again soon!
