It was around 8 on Saturday morning and I was still sleepy inside the warmth of my quilt, when M called up. It was her 5th wedding anniversary and M and A wanted to celebrate it differently this time with all of their close friends. She asked, if we had any plan for the weekend. Generally, my weekends go crazier and more busy than the weekdays. And it comes very naturally to me that I get more active compared to weekdays. There is so much to do on weekends. Sometimes I feel like a headless chicken running around wanting everything to be done. But that’s not possible, you see.

Anyhoo, so coming back to the plan for the weekend, as soon as she asked the question, I started planning and prioritizing my activities at the back of my mind within fractions of seconds {this is how I fret…and I hate this about myself}. But then suddenly, She suggested if we could go visit this beautiful place called All American Diner at India Habitat Center for the brunch. Brunch on a weekend!!! That was something I had been longing on for a long time, and this place was special. Brunches are the wonderful meals, someone might have invented. I mean you can splurge on good food, chatting with friends for hours. I call it food spa.

So finally after a very long time, my wish was going to be true. And M and A had managed to call up everyone and we all headed towards our destination. While we were still not there, NP, another friend wished, how wonderful it would be if we could get the seats to sit outside.

When we reached the place, it was jam packed and we hadn’t booked the table and there was a waiting queue for 30 minutes. But we stuck to the idea of sitting in the patio and we were happy to wait for sometime for that. By the time we were waiting, we checked out the menu. There was also a buffet which looked quite enticing to most of us. We ere seated within 30 minutes and then it was time for the delicious grub. There were quite many options starting from cereals, fresh juices, salads, freshly baked breads, soups, gourmet cheeses, cold cut platters, eggs, sweet pastries, pasta, creamed vegetables, baked tomatoes and our ubiquitous south Indian breakfast menu. God, we just couldn’t stop.

After all every thing was so picture perfect. A bright sunny day of chilling winters, a close group of friends seated on white painted metal furniture under the parasol on a lush green patio, enjoying the good grub, sipping coffee and chatting for hours on a relaxed weekend. What else you need in life !!!

After the brunch, we also went for a little heritage visit to Qutub Minar, one of the tallest Minaret in New Delhi, the heart of India.

And the day was not over yet, we had bonfire at B’s place. This was another long due wish. And S cooked us a wonderful meal including Indian roasted chicken and Lentils on a makeshift open fire stove, one of his specialty.

Sometimes we have small wishes or dreams, which we keep on procrastinating for days or years sometimes. And then a magical day comes when they all get fulfilled, and that too when no one could guess for it. And this day was one such day.
