A typical weekend

For the single and fancy free, the frenetic planning starts mid week (and often on the previous Sunday itself). So here are some options that we discuss, debate, embrace and discard:

Louis Banks is playing jazz at Alliance....we MUST go and listen to him

There is a play at Rangashankara, or at Chowdiah…or a festival of movies at MMB or AFI or….

Bangalore School of Music is organizing a Mozart tribute, a piano recital or a symphony orchestra

Hey, how about the Odissi performance tonight…or the Karnatic Music concert (never tried that before)

Let’s wake up early on Sunday, go to Cubbon Park to listen to the morning ragas, jog around for a while (15 minutes) and top it up with breakfast at Koshy's or yummy omelettes at Lakeview (we've switched loyalties to Ants now)

Where should we go for dinner tonight? I’ve tried virtually every dish in Herbs & Spices already…Mainland China – nah, just had the buffet the other day….

I will just oil my hair, plonk myself on the balcony and attack my unread pile of books.

Hey, I haven't seen a movie in years (read, 5 days)....lets catch the last show at Lido today

Let's watch War of the Roses or the latest movie we downloaded on the laptop

.....Sooo many choices, so many decisions. And unsaid, just beneath the surface, a wish to not have so many choices, to have something more concrete to fill up the void…whatever that might be.

Curious about what the happily married DINKs and the hum-do-humaare-do talk about!

Wanderlust - the road beckons!
